Possibly the most unpopular argument of all: do not comply. Change your employees job titles and/or tax classifications if you have to. Whatever it takes to say "these are salaries, not R&D". If you're big enough the

Not exactly, but close. When the pandemic hit, my big outlet at the time was rock climbing, mostly indoors. That went from "3 days a week" to "zero" immediately, and when things opened back up it just never recovered for

Hanson thinks brain emulation will be real. In this, he is extremely incorrect. To the best of my understanding, "Lena" is written as a warning that we should not WANT brain emulation.

Relational modeling. 40+ years old, effective, simple, backed by math. No one wants to learn it anymore though. (I only wish I was being sarcastic.)

This was an aside and not the point of the article but I can't let it go: > It is also a best practice to store naive datetimes representing UTC in databases. It is most definitely NOT a best practice and you SHOULD NOT DO THIS. If

No, their adblocker detection definitely detects UO in Firefox. I've had to disable it (UO) the last couple months otherwise YT becomes unusable.

Is there a trick to getting these to work in Sublime Text? I normally use Source Code Pro, which also comes in a bunch of variations, and I can set font_face to "Source Code Pro Medium" or "Source Code Pro Semibold Italic&quo

T-Mobile. I've been a TMo customer for most of 20 years. Every time I've needed anything they've taken care of it with no fuss. Recently I added a line to my account, and ended up getting charged the wrong amount, because I h

Still using my 2006 iPod. I've replaced the battery (easy, $8) and replaced the hard drive with an SDXC adapter which bumped the capacity from 80GB to 256GB. Such a great device. My car knows how to control it so I mostly just leave it

Every GCP product is poorly documented. There are often no examples at all, and when there are they only cover the "hello world" case. Last I tried, the documented examples for Cloud Functions v2 simply did not work.
