Minorities are a protected class. That argument has no bearing at all on this subject.

I don't know any numbers, but we're over 100 all summer, so I imagine it mostly evaporates. Flood irrigation here is just as bad as if they were doing it in Phoenix or Las Vegas

In Southern Utah, which is part of the Mojave Desert, the farmers still doing plain old flood irrigation. It's so staggeringly wasteful it's hard to understand

Musk is already muzzled by a federal agency. Going head to head with the agency controlling airspace on top of that is a pretty terrible idea.

I agree, it's right next to an airport, so the FAA has jurisdiction over anything over 200 feet tall. What it's meant for is basically irrelevant, except the scenario where SpaceX lied to the FAA about what it is for.

The webdev community needs to figure out a way to give Safari the IE6 treatment, and shame Apple enough to stop holding back progress. Apple gets coddled so much everyone seems shocked when you try to tell them how awful Safari is. Basicall

Exactly, if I could go back to an office that was even remotely comparable to my home office I wouldn't be so resistant. I don't want to go back to a small room crammed full of programmers shoulder to shoulder, stuck on depressing

In the office, I was distracted by coworkers massively more often. Maybe if the "office" actually gave everyone enough space to have their own office the push-back against going back wouldn't be so bad, but it seems like no c

We compete with a business Intuit acquired, and the Quickbooks online API is blatantly hamstrung to make sure you can't get that kind of data in and out of their systems. They had published spec'd out endpoints before the acquisit

Amazingly, the GOP just last week formed a Conservative Climate Caucus with something around 60 members. They even explicitly admit climate change is man made https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021&

Personally, I don't think the concept is a problem the industry can solve on their own. If Google wasn't having anti-trust worries, maybe they could force it to happen, but it's too blatant now. My assumption is 3rd party coo

This is Google admitting FLoC is dead, so they're going to just leave things as they are instead.

I would assume they're working on either an expansion or another game using the same engine If you're building a new game and your current GUI paradigm sucks, overhauling it first makes a lot of sense.

No idea in this instance, but it's trivial for rogue browser extensions to siphon off cookies

There's long established precedent that schools and colleges are allowed to require proof of vaccination. The idea isn't remotely new, and is nothing so odious as critics claim

The little tiny company I work for plays by the same rules. We don't support any subscription payments through either of the app stores, only through our website. Every couple months Apple will reject us over it, but it always escalate

I very much feel their ruling is correct. The CFAA is intended to target "hackers," not policy violations. Here's a quote from the ruling making the point that applying the law to something like access policy is far too broad

Just a few years ago, that was prohibitively expensive, but the browsers are pushing everything to https only pretty hard now. Most setups are nearly seamless for getting a free cert going now, but there'll always be a few old sites th

Stadia isn't magic though, it just runs on whatever random GPU they have lying around. It was never going to be better than what you can build yourself.

Everything you buy has markup. Everything Digital stores have settled on a 30% standard. Different industries have different standards. It's notable that even on stores that don't charge 30%, like Epic Games Store, the price of th

Basically every other comparable store charges the exact same 30% rate Google, Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo The ones that don't just prove that charging a lower rate doesn't actually change the price the consumer pays in any
