This variant is already being found on nearly every continent as I type this. We still don’t seem to know if this variant is more or less contagious or more or less deadly. It’s too late to stop it’s spread. So then what? Just keep pushing

To those who want social media regulated, this is the kind of thing you'll actually get. So be careful what you wish for.

I'm not sure why you'd be getting downvoted. This year's Tour has been off to a very rocky start and fan interference sure hasn't helped.

Though not quite the same scene as gig work, the matter of classification has long been an issue in the tech scene, at least where I am in Canada. That said, I think some clamping-down has occurred of late. Recruiters used to openly solicit

So it appears that the only way to get Fitness+ with Apple One is to go with the most expensive (Premier) option? That means you're also getting Music, TV, Arcade, News+, and iCloud. It's awfully presumptuous to think one would ne

I'm losing track of how this works, of late. Canadian-born Ted Cruz was able to run for president, with at least one state ruling that he was eligible[1]. Of course there were the made-up controversies about Barack Obama, which I think

I have never prepped for an interview in my life. If they're asking me questions or to solve problems related to my field, I don't really need to study. If they ask me things that are irrelevant, then that's another thing ent

There is often a gulf dividing capitalists and free market advocates. Plenty of capitalists are more than willing to embrace regulation if it protects their interests. The likes of Facebook and Twitter may jump at the chance to cement thems

This seems to further confirm a major shift that is happening in the American Right. They've been moving pretty swiftly to the "left" on economics, with Thomas's statements following the protectionism that we saw during

I didn’t think that “natural” conversation was an actual goal on HN. You see this particularly in the way that humour (among other things) is often downvoted and discouraged.

It does say "Ever Given" near the front, albeit in much smaller size.

There are still companies trying to impose metrics on software development. It isn't just lines of code, it may also include commits per day. And this isn't even taking into account various "Agile"-related metrics, like

I know a contractor who has worked for a major company that I won't name. He has told me that their source control was, for a time, Google Drive. He knew it was a recipe for disaster but real work was nonetheless getting done, and the

This is fine until the boss shows up. No on wants to tell the boss to get lost, even if the event isn't officially on work time.

Related note: do it during work hours, if possible. Not all of us want to be expected to take an evening to devote to work events. Even if I genuinely like my co-workers, there are times that I want to set aside where I don't have to t

That this kind of thing is on the table shows how short our memories are. After the Snowden revelations (among others), now governments expect us to believe they have pure intentions when it comes to breaking encryption?

Agreed. One Parler, one could search for terms like "execute" or "hang" and get thousands of results. It was a vile place. The owners of the site have chosen to die on the hill of protecting that as "free speech&q

It would have to be something preloaded, and with unusual privileges. Otherwise, it isn't installing anything silently on Android. I don't think this would happen at all on iOS.

Good question. I wish I had a more sophisticated answer, but everything I do is fairly low-tech. First, memory: this works for nearly everything in my case. Second, a whiteboard for grocery items, which I update as needed. Third, just keepi
