Let me preface this with: George floyd was essentially subjected to an execution without trail and nothing about the officers use of force was justifiable. That said I think it disgusting to pretend that George Floyd was subject to a "

Black lives matter the organization as much as one exists, has also had some fairly unsavory statements. I wouldn't necessarily attribute all of the beliefs of a group to each of its members.

It looks like overtime pay and "weekend premium"(I'm guessing this might include third shift pay?) is also excluded from the number which would also paint a different picture for nurses if included.

You are allowed to do that(as far as I understand scraping legality), but google/amazon/facebook are also well within their rights to blacklist your IPs, or implement other methods to prevent scraping of their IP(intellectual prop

That's pretty silly. Should I be able to use Amazon APIs to host reviews for my competing ecommerce site? Or be able to proxy user search requests to google and then intersperse my own advertisements in the results for my web search

I recently read a really good book about habits[1]. I really liked how he described the benefit of habits, where essentially your brain can fully offload the effort of thinking when you're performing one like tying your shoes. One of

Yeah, while the article mentions it couldn't be used to track the user or their friends preferences it seems this could be used to track advertisers. I'm sure Adidas would be very interested to know with 99% confidence that Nike&#

Suggested for you content is not paid advertisements, this is straight up conspiracy peddling.

I suppose if someone performed exactly as in the study(fixed withdrawal rate, adjusted for inflation, no variations), but surely if yields flattened you'd be able to recognize it sooner than when your nest egg is nearly depleted. That

How do you mean? I'm sure even with flat yields people in that camp will be far better off than the average person since one of the prerequisites is getting assets equal to 20-30x your annual expense

Is it? That's when git is simplest, having a single branch and never merging removes most of the complexities of git.

I'm in the same boat, with half my checking in the brokerage and half in the credit union. Some recent changes to the credit union(merging/renaming/ui changes) have been frustrating me and I've thought about rolling ever

I'd hope you'd at least be able to explain the situation to your account manager and get an exception(maybe for that single companies domain?), but I've never used AWS so I wouldn't know if thats possible.

That's a separate issue. The first issue is that those groups don't apply _at all_.

Software engineer is a much more common job title now than back then. Back then IT people or developers did a good amount of building & coding, and many would be called software engineers nowadays.

That's a hilarious false equivalency. Almost every culture has had a bean based dish, and eating meat with every meal is a relatively recent phenomenon in the last hundred years. There's a reason why I replaced meat with beans and

I'm a vegan so they would be eating the same food I do. I never eat out and barely ever try the expensive vegan faux-meats. Adding a few spices and a can of tomatoes make beans and rice delicious. Chana masala, black bean bowls, navy

We can barely get people to care about their fellow man, I'm pessimistic about getting people to care about the genocide we commit towards animals on an hourly basis. Edit: And for the record I'm vegan.
