I can’t tell from the article but JP Morgan may not be the defendant or target of investigation, in which case adverse interference won’t apply.

Yeah we mostly don’t do the start/stop thing with timers. For the most part we just have folks guesstimate the hours spent when the close or reassign a ticket. Hour or half hour precision is good enough. We don’t hide hours and use th

Similar point. I’ve been running an agency for 14 years. All that time we’ve tracked hours for every project whether T&M or fixed bid. Now when a project comes in for bid I always estimate it based on experience but then validate it aga

So shouldn’t “Matter” take care of this in a standard and open way moving forward?

For example, those repositories contain a lot of privately identifiable information This seems to miss my point - I have no idea why PII is in a code repo.

Their policy, if you scroll up from this link, is to scan only “aggregate metadata” and only if you opt in. GitHub aggregates metadata and parses content patterns for the purposes of delivering generalized insights within the product. It u

I dunno about other people but I’ve always assumed that if we’re giving employees, who we may have to fire someday, access to the code base that repos should be treated as if they could be exposed to the world at any time any way.

Giving addicts drug money instead of providing for their needs is the peak of inhumanity. Not sure what you think a drug addicts needs are, because usually at the top of the list is "drugs". There other services provided en-mass

Ironically by bringing the case and losing it he has lost that (entirely theoretical) $7.75M value as corner crossing, particularly his specific corners is now codified in law.

io.js (node.js fork) seems like a parallel. It split off to get away from Joyents advisory board that was slowing down development and the trademark issues around Node. It was more performant in the short term with faster development cycl

My understanding is that outside the US there's not the whole dealership model with it's associated markup as we have here in the US. You still have dealers but buying a car is just picking off a menu of options, pay the same pri

You're being downvoted but I'm not sure you're entirely wrong. I'm currently buying a Rivian Truck, pricing is straightforward and I could be buying a T-Shirt on a Shopify site. Simple, I know the price and the experienc

One thing that EV's have an advantage of is the reduced footprint of their drivetrain. The primary bulk of an EV is the massive battery that usually spans the bottom of the car opening up space in the interior or the ubiquitous EV &qu

It only makes sense if you're a FinanceBro trapped in your mid-town NYC appt and can't get out This is a bit of a limited take, I'm an avid mountain biker and hit the trails 2-3 times a week. But I also want to exercise for

This is a bit odd, both Disc Golf and Ultimate have "gone pro" with professional leagues some of which is even broadcast.

Comparing a Peloton to a gym is a bit of apples to oranges from a cost perspective. A more apt comp is a Peloton compared to a Spinning Studio. Most Spinning studios (Soulcycle seems to be the most popular) charges not by membership but per

Total derail - but Peloton now has Rowing classes that you can use with your Concept 2 as well. You get access to the entire library of content even if you just use the bike. It's not a huge value add for a people but it is something.

IIRC those rumors were post Flemming and started in the Bob Rock era. And Justice For All was his last album at the helm and that was 1988 still to early to do that sort of thing digitally (ProTools came out in the early 90s) and no one is

While I think the matter has more recently settled it there was a time where folks thought that Outkast's "Hey Ya" was in 11/4. It's in 4/4 with a 2/4 bar but it still had a lot of folks confused for a whi

To be clear I'm not as familiar with this for non-profits. But generally yes, if much of your compensation is bonus based most executive contracts will have a mechanism for pro-rating or just paying out future bonuses. This sounds a bi

by mikeryan 3y ago
Executive compensation packages work differently and tend to be much more bonus driven. Frequently these types of severance packages are to make up some sort of assumed bonus and ensure no compensation based contract disputes later.

I used Talent for a while. For the price I always felt it was fairly high touch from the customer success reps at SO. I could easily see this making it unprofitable or barely profitable. Agree though it was a great talent pool. I’d think

So if I work for Walmart and donate to planned parenthood does that mean that Walmart supports planned parenthood? I don’t really understand the point you’re trying to make here? Is it that NPR is biased because it takes some marginal amoun

It’s not. NPR gets its revenues from member stations that buy the rights to the content. It takes some government grants to support certain reporting and special projects but it doesn’t, directly, need government support for operations. It’

You’d target activities specific to a religion. Can’t think of a great example here from a religious perspective. But there’s an interesting new bill in Florida that cedes control of very specific railways to the Florida Department of Traff

Generally yes they are. Churches and non profits are generally 501.3.C organizations and share the same tax regulations. There are, of course different types of non-profit statuses but nothing special available to churches from a tax perspe

by mikeryan 3y ago
501.3.C non profits aren’t allowed to endorse candidates. It’s a blanket restriction across all of them which includes most churches. The statement is correct there but it’s not a constitutional thing it’s an IRS thing.

Stronger protections hurt better workers, likely more then it helps. It means companies are more apt to keep marginal workers and expect the higher performers to make up the difference
