No, it's only if you try to use work-issued hardware to do so.

The video snippet you linked is from January. You can tell because it talks about the upcoming Iowa caucus. This is approximately the time that the first patient tested positive in the U.S. The video that OP references goes into February

Should be easy to do if it's as equivalent as you're assuming, no?

Byte doesn't have the user numbers, and the acquisition transition to Youtube would be a nightmare compared to just building in house.

Bigger question is when is TikTok going to get revenue sharing for it's content creators? I've found that TikTok is increasingly becoming a promotion channel for people's youtube channels or ig accounts.

Isn't covid still contagious before you even get a fever?

by bduerst 7y ago
That metric is hard to calculate because the transmission rate is still not very well understood for Covid-19, i.e. In order to calculate the cost of staying open, you need to accurately estimate the number of infected, number of deaths, a

You are correct in that there is less demand for travel, but there is still demand. Without a car it's incredibly difficult to fulfill even a trip to the pharmacy with only a compromised public transportation system.

Market has been hot so far this year, so the wise thing to do has been to slowly trim holdings for cash - i.e. up to 30% of your portfolio - so that you can buy on the dip. The correction has been a long time coming but the pandemic is mak

That's exactly why it's not really that good of a time to buy just yet. There's a chance we have a long ways to go and you'll probably run out of cash if you keep buying down the slide. We bought some on the crash last

Medicare and Medicaid are different though. The fee schedule and structure is much more defined, simpler, and easier to abide by. So much so that software can calculate it out of the box at the time of ordering. There isn't the neg

It's still comparable with the hybrid system in the U.S. too - i.e. outpatient surgery procedures can take months no matter which system.

My chem lab in college had some Fiestaware, which was similar in that it had uranium glazed ceramic. They stopped making it in the 1970s but you can still find it floating around somewhere online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Refrigeration technology greatly increased the reach, durability, and thus value of raw meat. Electricity and the lightbulb depleted demand for candles (and tallow).

You're misreading the OEC report - Finland exports refined petroleum. They don't do any drilling. Even then it's only 7% of their total exports. You're confusing Finland with Norway and their national fund.

This article is a little light on the data. Yes, the premise of trends showing union busting and falling middle class wealth levels are established, but the author seems to want to show they were caused, not correlated, by the management c

Oh for sure - it's weird to be judging based on most misdemeanors. I was commenting on how it's done by those who do it.

Focusing just on the companies with the most employees would mean the U.S. would become a retail nation, since that's the industry with the most head count. It isn't the best metric to measure by, since companies can also redistr

AFAIK misdemeanors have to be checked at the county level, and a lot of background checks skip them unless asked specifically (hence checking about the gaps).

by bduerst 7y ago
Be honest - just talk about what you did if they ask about the gap. Say you planned for it, saved a good amount of money, and took time off to improve yourself. It's becoming more common these days as sabbaticals or what not. Be sure

FB liabilities nearly tripled last year - Is that from aggressively opening new offices? Data centers? What is FB buying/using so much of that it hasn't paid for yet?
