I have a hard time seeing this case going to trial. From the article it seems no plea deals have been put on the table, likely because both sides wanted to see the results of this ruling first. I’m guessing the criminal trial pleads out and

I’ve known quite a few people from Netflix, the dream team analogy does seem to be, at least anecdotally somewhat true. They’re somewhat legendary for competing with the same engineering talent as Google and paying accordingly. 6 figure hi

I also know of a family fund with no public presence that’s an active, large investor with zero presence. You google their name and get results very similar to googling Kharia Capital (I’d say the name of the fund I know, but the lead is a

So there's a few things that could be in play here. 1. The tech market right now is a shit show, Twitter has only been saved from the general market trends because of the Elon offer. Once the Elon offer closes or falls through, Twit

Total spit ball here but just “riding” in a small Cessna seems like a pretty intimate experience. I wonder if he had spent a bunch of time in the passenger seat (as a job as a surveyor or ranger or something) and just got to know his way ar

The Moodys analysis, as I understand it, is house prices relative to median incomes in a market. I don’t think it’s a fluke that the overvalued markets correlate to regions that a lot of tech has moved over the pandemic like Boise, FL, TX a

* is just short hand for a list of files. Calling rm with the same list of files will have the same results if you call it multiple times. That’s idempotent. Your example is changing the list of files, or arguments to rm between runs. Same

Yeah but that’s a chicken and egg problem. Those bonds wouldn’t exist without the current exemption.

Disney built a world class destination in the middle of, what is basically, a swamp. They built all the necessary infrastructure and paid for it by taxing themselves. In a lot of ways it put Orlando on the map and provided a huge boost to

That's actually covered in the article. "Mills" is the term of art for the amount levied in property taxes. Reedy Creek has the ability to tax at 30mills and currently taxes at 13.67 (1/3 of which goes to paying the debt

Sure another municipality “could” take over the bonds. They just can’t afford them.

That’s not exactly it. Disney publicly criticized the new Florida “Don’t say gay” bill. And then said they’d no longer donate to FL legislature. They’d made a 50k donation to governor DeSantis in the past so it’s more about them NOT making

100% yes and this is why every drone video ever has music over it. That and even without the buzz anything most drones picked up would not be meaningful sound. Most are too far away and moving too much to pick up voices, better to just r

I shall nerd-pick. 1. If they're not meant to stay on how come most of them have clocks? 2. Many machines no longer warm the coffee by using a heating element underneath a glass carafe, they've switched this out for insulated cara

My take on all these “fixes” for a “broken” Twitter is that pretty much everyone has a point of view of what is broken to them and frequently the fixes for solving them are contradictory. A lot of Twitter’s bugs for some set people are fe

That’s not going to happen. They’re all competing entities with different corporate ownerships. I’ve done some work with a few NBCUniversal brands (Syfy, Bravo, E) and while they’ve gotten more aligned in recent years the individual brands

The reporting on the case is bad because a case was never made in court. Jones basically ignored court orders and wasn’t forthcoming in his responses to requests so the plaintiffs basically got a summary judgement without it going to trial.

It appears from at least one complaint that Alex Jones is named personally as well as InfoWars corporate entities. This should shield the corporate entities but not Alex Jones from personal liability. In at least one way this could help the

And maybe the driver would show up on time, or maybe they'd see a street hail en route to picking you up and decide to make you wait an extra 40 minutes. That’s not how it worked, or works (see Curb). You didn’t schedule a particular

Many tax services don't allow you to order a taxi ahead of time. You have to flag one down (eg NYC). For ordering a car, you need to otherwise deal with an (expensive) car service First this is just inherently wrong. You’ve been able

What this comes down to is can the candidate: figure out how to build the project, grep to existing implementation and copy, paste, change a plus to an asterisk. And also, can they articulate the work-to-be-done this simply. While that’s

This isn’t an “Advanced FizzBuzz” if it takes three hours or even one hour. The whole point of a FizzBuzz question is that it’s a fast, like 2-3 minutes fast, heuristic for separating the wheat from the chaff and this isn’t that at all. At

If I give Gravity Diagnostics the benefit of the doubt then I’m guessing that the panic attack caused him to react in a “violent outburst” that wouldn’t be appropriate in a professional environment leading to his dismissal. That doesn’t abs

This merely adds to the confusion, since the name of the glyph contains the words "right angle." The article notes that sans a given meaning the glyph was given a “descriptive name”. So you’re not wrong? :-P

It looks like it was used for tests. I don't know how it would escalate to use on a production system, but the commit for the fix is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/commit/e2fb87ec5d4e23

It’s also important to note that they try to make clear that they’re describing their own situation and not providing a blanket statement.
