Yeah I’m with you, once the friends group clued in that it was a bunch of financial types trying to make trades on a feeling, they should have spit all kinds of divergent information into that idiot machine.

What’s unethical about stating that your entire team was disbanded (aka not terminated for individual performance) and you’d like help with connections finding new work? The message seemed extremely germane, seen those messages constantly o

Are airlines not a form of infrastructure? Because they make extra-legal decisions on banning customers, usually based on obnoxious behavior. They’re also private infrastructure unlike water/power, which is the position that cloudflare

Teachers can max out at a good salary, Chicago looks pretty close to where I live where 25-30 years in you can get up towards 90-100k. An L3 Google engineer looks like they start at 190k. That’s an extreme example but I’m just saying, dual-

FMLA leave is job-protected and it’s illegal to retaliate against an employee for taking it. You can be fired when you return for reasons not related to the leave but - it’s also dangerous to play that game if you don’t have a documented hi

Network television is some fine goalpost-moving, but as far as general media access goes you can find it on 3 US streaming services, and the reason no broadcast network is picking it up for redistribution has no basis in government censorsh

I think the main metric that this is built on may be too coarse to derive the meaning that the article is. There’s conjecture that what’s driving this is more querying over the same dataset (more streamlit dashboards) but it could just as e

… why are these businesses not paying taxes? Is it a lot of small-volume hobbyist merchants who might not legally have to pay taxes? Is it people who should be paying taxes and are just skirting the law? How much do you expect to monetize f

Non-marketing emails from the company to push information to you while you’re out of the app. Think stuff like: 1. receipt / shipping notifications from an online shop 2. emails from enterprise chat apps that let you know you’ve missed

Most webapps have a need for transactional messaging of some sort. But even putting that aside you’re missing TOS support. Every TOS is going to have conditions that define scenarios where you need to communicate with users. Including chang

Looking around ARM mortgages were around 3% of all mortgages in 2020-2021 era, so I don’t think it’s fair to generalize that peoples mortgages are going up. But yeah, people will become immobilized if their property has decreased in value,

Utilizing VPN as _a_ layer of network security with additional systems access security is something we learned in the old pre-2020s era, and I’ve never seen a cavalier system like you’ve described deployed. But maybe it’s just because I’m n

Kdiff3 had its last release in 2014, old multiplatform apps that weren’t updated would have this problem. Zenmap seemed to not be unsigned? Wireshark was definitely signed, which I was kinda surprised about. I wouldn’t have expected QT apps
