Indeed it does depend on the state. Surprisingly inconsistent in myriad ways across the US. https://www.paycor.com/resource-center/articles/pto-payout-l...

Stepping sideways from the multinational revelations of the Pandora Papers, as a US citizen I'm floored by how much tax abuse comes from organized religion and how little we seem to be concerned by it. I've considered creating my

Interesting. Edge case: if French Guyana (off the north side of South America but considered part of France and the European Union) is the victim of an attack by some means, are NATO members obliged to act in its defense?

And that's fine. This working strategy is likely to work for some more than others. Flexibility in travel is a hard requirement for other fields.

Other than reduced volume has San Francisco done something to unfuck its clusters?

You're right, my take hits a weak target. It's more relevant for say Amazon or Steam. I find it stark that many folks browse digital stores, while I generally explore articles or videos of unaffiliated experts/curators. I&#x2

Indeed. And I don't want to pirate. Startup idea: Tell us your friends and the services you subscribe to with family/friends sharing. We'll provide a password manager (or an API to your favorite password manager) to get rotat

That Netflix is even involved in the art of recommendations speaks to the challenge of monetizing independent voices. I find it fascinating the desire that our storefronts be the place where optimal suggestions are found. It's anachron

I'm seeing more of this in HN where folks hint at something that's available only if you're an employee at one of the tech giants. I feel like it used to be gauche and isn't now. (No jab at you specifically tdeck, just a

Incredibly naive tone, to the point I cannot see how a CEO would see this action as beneficial to the company. Is this corporate sabotage from the top? Plenty of history to see what happens next. Remaining employees of value will now put al

Upside: Linux users have a client that's easier kept in sync with features and development on Win/Mac.

In my experience for most Electron apps we're talking 150MB and you're exaggerating by 10x.

Depends on where we place the goalposts. Abstinence or agency? For some cases, full abstinence is the most effective means to a fruitful life of agency. For others, an appeal to our inherent agency (rather than submitting to the impossibili

The AA perspective on this can come across binary and tautological: if one is an alcoholic, moderation is impossible. But the reality is alcohol dependencies occur across a varied spectrum. Implying there is only one solution is theism.

I read that the opposite. 'Not with drugs (except alcohol)' would include alcohol in the category of drugs.

The Branch Davidians said the world is ending in 1993. That doesn't render our understanding of climate change 'scary nonsense'.

Are there any other repercussions one should consider before giving this a try? Would software that uses DRM such as Netflix be affected?

It's not clear from what I have read anywhere on the site if installing CalyxOS is reversible. If you want to get back to Android can you?

I think I get phosphenes and never had the word for it. I can more or less elicit them on demand by closing my eyes, relax and let them cross slightly. A stroby concentric circle set ensues for a few seconds. Always the same pattern. Red.

Petty but I'd like the ability to replace that Windows meta key.

EDIT: Per the Android Police article, looks like there is a way to update now without powerwashing. Disregard the below paragraph. If they stored any data locally it's lost unless Google releases a way to allow a computer in this state

A curious counterexample of this that's existed for decades is the motherboard. Once one part breaks on that you're throwing out a lot of functioning parts. I've often wondered why the boundaries were defined where they are f

I do not expect that even if there was truth to the matter that war would be a direct consequence. I agree that citing historical false pretexts for war reduces the surface for debate of the validity of allegations of state-sponsored cyberc

The utility is in the muddying. To use the broader term (WMD) instead of the specific (chemical weapons) is to imply the broader abuse. While the specific abuse is something the US turned a blind eye to a generation previously (chemcial wea

Of course, because WMD is a manufacturered phrase with tautological utility. A kitchen knife wielded in a sinister way is capable of mass destruction.
