"Accomplishes assigned tasks during working hours" is not a labor action. Granted, many teams would never ship if all they did was their assigned tasks. The vast majority of software development is undiscovered scope.

Engagement per user is not the only metric they have. DAU declines are an easy metric they can target. People are quitting Facebook because of these actively hostile patterns. They make, and charge for, money per user. Give the people what

Nah. The difficulty that Russia has had with taking any significant portion of Ukraine has, if anything, shown the folly of military adventurism in the post-modern era. Remember that in WW2 Poland and France lasted for about a month before

Not a lot to go on here. Boom projects first flight in 2026 for the Overture. They seem to be fairly close to first flight with their XB-1, but it has not flown yet. I congratulate them on getting funding, but all the hard parts are ahead.

California treats ancestry as a protected class, and discrimination by ancestry is illegal. Not being a Desi, I struggle to see how this is not already covered.

This seems to have been a real passion project, and seems to nearly be retirement money if the growth continues for just a few more years. Have you considered what an exit would look like? Such a lovely write-up. Congratulations.

My dad hired goats to mow down his entire lot in the Hell's Canyon area of Eastern Washington. Saved his cabin from a wildfire, and got the dang thistles reduced to nothing. It was a bargain too, $400.

Bulk mail is priced to maximize profit to the postal service. Raising the rate 1000% would effectively end bulk mail. Adding a penny cost per spam would be more than a 1000% increase, and would effectively end the spam.

I think you're saying that the cure described is worse than the disease, and that the bureaucracy to maintain such regulation would expand beyond its original mandate. I think that's assuming that things always go poorly, and that
