I think the goal of startups hiring overqualified people is to prevent those awkward growing pains as you transition from a small startup to a company that has recurring customers. That's right in the middle of their growth phase, so

The fundamental problem is that those laws exist to protect vulnerable workers, but they also inadvertently affect non-vulnerable workers. Someone should not have to work for less than minimum wage because they have less bargaining power t

My understanding from a thread a couple of days ago is that are workarounds to that on some platforms. One that was mentioned was turning the videos into animated GIFs, which can autoplay on Chrome and require a special setting on Firefox.

They are certainly not something the average person would recognize. Neither are terms I have heard before, but I'm in a constant struggle to get myself to read more. The complaint is that they're senselessly highfalutin. "

JSON is in a slightly different area since it's commonly used as a serialization format for RPC/REST so it's in a hot path. Optimizations there make a lot of sense; optimizations on reading your configuration file are almost

I've never thought of it, but I could see some potential value. How would one insert them? With the Slack-style :name: tags, or do you actually put the literal character in? The :name: version might be nice because it renders cleanl

There is some public good in selling consoles as loss leaders; it allows disadvantaged people to participate. Video games are becoming a big part of our culture, and it sucks that participating in that culture requires spending a bunch of

That's a fantastic question, I would love to know that as well. My worrying suspicion is that yes, you are. I've never heard of prosecutors needing to prove knowledge for drug posession charges. Even if storers aren't liable,

Are they just basing it on lumens? There might be more interplay, i.e. if you can get by with fewer lumens if you emit in a different wavelength.

Most recently created (I'm counting 20 years as recent) major languages do require or suggest that you specify the namespace a symbol is from if it isn't local. Off the top of my head, Javascript/Typescript, Python, Go, Java

The last I heard, the human body needs/consumes ~700 IU of Vitamin D per day. So I think your US levels are actually the full intake. One thing to consider is biological inefficiency. A 4,000 IU capsule contains 4,000 IUs, but that doe

> Taking more than recommended is ok, your body will flush it out. This is not true. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, not water-soluble. Your kidneys can only filter out water-soluble vitamins. B vitamins are water-soluble; that's why ther

I don't think it's that easy. Many people have a positive bias towards police. The police lawyer will come in and cite some frightening statistics about police injury and fatalities on the job, the officer will say that they use

That seems like a really long day. I didn't have a daily homeroom, how many hours of classes are included in that? I would feel awful for any child that gets dropped off at 6am, sits in a cafeteria for an hour, sits through 2 hours of

I don't think those jobs losses were caused by the gig economy, though. Rather the gig economy arose out of the glut of labor available. It's an important distinction to make. Although Uber et co may be predatory on underutilized

That would be handled client-side, like email. You could build in a standard set of rules, and then have some kind of ML process profiles you manually mark as spam. Just have it filter profiles in API requests through the fake profile det

I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility. Iran-Contra seems like a much bigger issue in terms of the CIA and finding. I haven't seen any evidence, though, and OP doesn't seem to be forthcoming with any.

In fairness, the average user and use case is very different. Pirating is less instant gratification since you have to wait on the download. Pirates are also generally okay with having the only peer be someone uploading at 5KB/s. Track

Does being an employee change their liability at all? In CA they seem to be willing to meet some pay and health insurance demands, so I wonder what part of the employee relationship they're opposed to. Is it firing and unemployment?

I use a company called Snap Kitchen for that (no affiliation). They have a menu, I pick what meals and how many I want. Twice a week they cook the food, package it up, and deliver it to my door. Let's you pick how many calories per day

What is the advantage of building out enums your way vs OPs? I've done both ways, and I didn't find any situations where one was demonstrably better than the other. Is it that there are no globals? Is it that it's actually

No, but places to be hateful on a major platform where users might accidentally stumble into your community and stay are. I would guess that most people who get wrapped up in that stuff stumble upon it, rather than it being something they

I read an article a few months ago about how the import restrictions (or maybe that there's just fewer international shipments) from Covid were making it harder to smuggle things into the US. I wonder if that is having an impact on the

There are 2 reasons that's a bad idea. The first is the obvious; people will harm themselves. How many people would have taken hydroxychloroquine when that was the Covid rage, despite the limited effectiveness and severe complication

I'm guessing those are administrative costs related to servicing the loan. Doing due diligence on whether you're credit worthy, filing the paperwork, maybe some form of insurance. $2,300 does still seem high for that, though. I

Some of the earlier articles about this mentioned that Revlon is struggling and that the creditors were worried about getting paid back for the loan. This seems like a really bad loan to service.
