I saw that Googles response was that "large spending changes" caused an automatic suspension. With all of Google's tech, they should just have that weird Google Assistant call the phone listed on the account to have the accou

Lifehacker (which is part of the same blog network) posted "Wait Before Uninstalling VLC from Your Computer." They're trying to get all the clicks from every angle.

I used to throw away shirts for collar sweat stains, until I learned I could soak them in oxiclean for a few hours and wash them normally and it would be so much better. I also had to hand scrub the worst stains with a little detergent, but

Toyota moved their headquarters from LA to Dallas a couple years ago, and they retained 2/3's of their HQ employees in the move. FAANG isn't exactly the same but it's the closest example I could find of a recent large sc

I was kind of shocked when I saw the $23/hr, because that's a pretty high wage for a line cook. Like I could not imagine anywhere else except for maybe NYC where a line cook would protest with that rate. According to the MIT Livi

The company I work for encloses the entire dock area with a giant overhang and there's a giant door for the semis to drive thru into the warehouse. It's totally a thing, but it costs extra. We do it because some of the products

So I was looking at old blog posts about LiveVideo and saw a reference to a rumor that LiveVideo paid off creators to cause the initial jump from Youtube to LiveVideo. There might have been a lot of shady dealings on both sides, but it was
