A common scenario I've seen in the case of local governments is that a department (e.g. the Assessing Department) contracts with a vendor to run the website and has no idea how DNS works, and the vendor defaults to registering new doma

In those cases, the company controls all of the code running on those sites, so it's desirable for them to share data and cookies in particular. (e.g. any google.com site can read your login cookie) In the case of user data domains, in

Historically UAW auto workers made very good money for the type of work they do, probably $100-150k/yr in today's dollars adjusted for inflation. It's changed since 2009ish after the bankruptcies, but the auto industry is sti

I mean, this doesn't tell us whether they can pay them twice as much or $5 more per year. Some companies make no profit, or very little, or very little per employee.

I've had a few, but probably 90%+ male. DoorDash has more women, probably because of the reduced risk from not having men in your car.

Yes, I feel like it's important to clarify that this is one specific hotel which happens to be associated with Hyatt, not a general program instituted by Hyatt or any specific chain. If Hyatt refuses to address this scam after being ma

Not being standardized is fine and even a positive (diversity of technology vendors is a security feature and increases confidence in elections). But producing machine readable outputs of some sort , instead of physical paper and PDFs, is

What exactly is the definition of "underpay" here? Back when my wife was a server, it seemed like a cheat code to the service industry - she was making way more money waiting tables for $2.65/hr + tips than she had made at an

Theoretically that's true but in practice there is ample precedent for Presidents refusing to enforce specific laws. In one instance (DACA) the Supreme Court ordered a President to continue a previous President's official policy o

The root of the issue seems to be the longstanding deficiency that Texas either cannot or does not localize their emergency alerts at all. I've lived in 2 other decently large states including California and left Amber Alerts enabled b

2 unique things: - Texas, unlike other states, seems to blast all of their emergency alerts statewide (and it's a big state) - Unlike other alerts, this was sent as a public safety emergency alert (not amber alert, which most Texans tu

There are frontage roads at most freeway interchanges in Texas. Typical stack interchange elsewhere has 4 levels: freeway 1, freeway 2, freeway 1 left turns, freeway 2 left turns. Frontage roads add 5th and occasionally 6th levels. The othe

The tl;dr to the article is "Texas freeways have frontage roads, which add at least one additional level to a traditional stack interchange, and that makes them taller than interchanges in e.g. California. The broader question I'v

The previous Google Pay app was definitely killed off and you had to install "GPay" instead. I /think/ Google Pay may have been a rename of the original Android Pay app, but not sure.

Generally that's true, but Hertz specifically does have a few classes of vehicle that only contain one model, and they advertise those as something like "guaranteed make/model" / "reserve this exact car".

Actually what's happening in those examples is that issues DO happen on the weekend, the customer just suffers or calls someone else to patch things up till it can be addressed correctly. Difference with tech work is that your employer

Connecting to airports as transportation hubs is interesting and makes a lot of sense - gives you access to 24/7 rental cars, air travel, and often rail connections to downtown areas. One thing with traveling on Amtrak in most of Ameri

You connect to proxy 1 and ask it to set up a tunnel to proxy 2 (the tunnel to proxy 2 rides inside the tunnel to proxy 1). Proxy 1 knows your source IP, its own IP, and the destination IP (proxy 2). Proxy 2 knows the incoming source IP (pr

Even as a fan of the rewards points system I'm fine with this. My only beef is that I wish the credit card price was the list price and cash had a 2% discount. A fee that affects nearly everyone isn't a fee (see resort fees), a ca
