Does everyone get that treatment? Seems like it would hurt recruitment of experienced engineers. I won’t work for mystery bucks when there are plenty of companies (including Google) that pay well with liquid stock.

Issuing debt doesn’t give up any of the upside like selling stock does. This is more like Apple selling off some portion of the iPhone business in exchange for cash. I think most people would interpret that as bad news for iPhones.

Is it just me or is there a very basic math error here? The chart compares the sum of deficits (aka the increase in cumulative debt) over several years to the increase in GDP. But GDP is an annual measure. You can’t say that the debt is dir

The post I responded to said the fine “should be significant compared to what they can afford”. This isn’t the standard economic formula (which I agree with). It’s a different standard that would have companies that can afford more pay larg

Do you mean more profitable companies should be fined more than less profitable companies for the same scale of wrongful behavior? If one wrongdoer happens to have other lines of business that generate a lot of cash but aren’t implicated in

The reason to stockpile food before the coronavirus is so you don’t have to go to the store and buy groceries. This reason doesn’t apply to water and I don’t think there’s any chance the utilities are going to shut down. Even if everyone ge

IMO, during the first half of an epidemic, when a small portion of the population is infected and infections are growing exponentially, it makes sense to use the absolute number of infections. Then later when infection is widespread and the

There’s no need to speculate - the article we are commenting on informs us that happened through email contact sharing.

These rates are taking the number of confirmed cases and dividing by the number of hospitalizations. The problem is that minor cases usually don’t get detected so they don’t get included in the denominator. A single confirmed case might cor

Depending on the numbers, the “saves more than it kills” standard may be 99.9% or 99.9999%. You need data to answer the question and any claims should be backed up by numbers, followed by a bunch of analysis. It’s definitely not something w

In the past week it’s been discovered that the virus has spread in two developed countries - South Korea and Italy. Already a bunch of countries have created travel restrictions and it’s only a matter of time until the restrictions increase

I doubt the average lifetime bureaucrat can find such employment. Regardless, I don’t think the union will let the state ever put them in the position to need to try.

It’s hard in theory, easy in practice if your options are worth millions. I have friends who did it. I don’t know too many of the details but they made some kind of contract with a financial firm to sell the upside from the stock without ac

I think the California State Employees Association would have something to say about their members’ total comp decreased from ~six figures to 12k/year.

I’m really skeptical that Republicans know or care about politics in Google’s work culture. I think the only big story to come out about it, the James Damore one, mainly got discussed from a gender angle and most Republican politicians woul

If there’s only one group running the scheme it works, but if there are many, it becomes very difficult to coordinate and limit repeated demands. Soft of like how oil producers can only keep the price up if everyone joins the cartel. Each m

Questions about Disney products sound more like efforts to promote Disney products than attempts at a trendy style.

I’d say if you’re already using your phone while waiting in line, Apple Pay is faster. Otherwise, tapping a credit card is faster.

by djannzjkzxn 7y ago
To clarify for readers (doesn’t matter for you), terminals that support Apple Pay probably also support tap room pay with credit cards that have that feature. It’s just as fast as Apple Pay (once you have your card out).

I think the error mostly benefits the seller of the boxes, or at least doesn’t hurt them, so they won’t have much incentive to fix it.

This seems unsurprising if you know male dancers. It’s almost entirely gig work. The difference between an employed dancer and his unemployed friend is that the employed one is having a good month.

Appreciating anything that you aren’t already a fan of is a skill. You can also develop the skills of enjoying hip hop, metal, spaghetti westerns, rock climbing, etc.

If the report is saying almost 100% of phones sold follow the reg, then they must be saying Apple are in compliance, right? I don’t see how you can get near 100% of phones without including the iPhone. Also, take a look here: > Additiona

Monitoring with cameras seems like an advance in technology that lowers the need for managers in the room. But it’s still a check as advocated earlier in the thread.

A security camera on the register seems like the easiest way. If the cashier’s count doesn’t match the sum of customer transaction then watch the footage until you see them pocket the money.

Apple has worked on wireless proximity charging where the device merely needs to be within a few feet of the charger. I hear there are serious engineering challenges that make this hard to achieve but I don’t think they will remove the port
