Benefit based on a life choice has been found discriminatory in other situations. Your second point makes sense, but many don't offer that. Some do, some don't. Often volunteering is seen as a thing one gets compensated for (don

Salesforce has "unlimited PTO", which is what it is. I'm not a fan of such a policy and depending on team, it is probably better than Amazon's 10 days of PTO. Acquisitions (depending on how they are handle) go through a

In some areas, as I mentioned, there are prefab/manufactured homes that include land.

Another issue is financing manufactured homes is often much more expensive than tradditional / stick built houses. I'm not sure how that applies to Lindle / other higher end pre-fab homes. A house on a foundation vs wheels&

I drove 17 for about 20 years, my parents drove it when there was a suicide lane and no center barrier. I am well aware. Santa Cruz (and other isolated liberal enclaves) will be it's own death. They literally tried a 0.5% sales tax m

The "core" of Silicon Valley really isn't affordable, unless you want to live dorm style, for many. Rents at 3-4k/mo. Families, it's even more challenging. Nearby "bedroom" communities - Morgan Hill out

The Teams organization had little interest in performance optimization. They spent more time cramming more features in. It seemed like, at the time, the Teams org valued feature creep for promos over actual stability and performance.

I have part of the data. It was not scrubbed. I know names and addresses in it. Working with a friend to get the rest. I think a DOXing lawsuit against CA DOJ is needed. The data isn't wholly accurate but relevant to 12/2021.

Well, mapping between the databases. If DROS data is available, yet the individual doesn't have a CCW, what does the DROS info have? Given what I understand, if an individual has a CCW and the info exposed there, mapping to what fire

There is a belief that this was intentional. There were "threats" by CA DoJ to release this information a few years back "in the public interest".

Just because you own a gun, using it is not without ramifications. In high school, my driver's ed instructor (here in California) said (jokingly) if you screw up and hit a person, you better hope they die. The implications of a death

It also enables the relatively easy cross compare with dealer record of sales (DROS) to know what the owners may have. This isn't good.

I’ve done a couple of tours years back in Europe. I did a few multi-day charity rides here in California. Some of those included stints on a stretch of 101. You realize how shitty our roads can be.

I knew researchers at IBM Almaden. They would avoid going in or duck out when the bean counters were around. The idea was to not draw attention to one's self and one's project for fear of being cut. At the time, IBM also had a v

A number of those states will be ones that are a net recipient of tax dollars sent by all the states to the Federal government. Many of them in the south. I would be more than happy to see them cut off from any federal funding.
