It's pretty easy to pierce the corporate veil for these separate but not really separate LLCs. They have to be bona fide separate companies to enjoy the LLC protection.

This one isn't quite like that. The evidence for a link between talc and cancer is mixed. Some have found a link but the best quality study did not: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4200058/

My reaction exactly. Specifically when they said what developers want is document DBs. That's not true. We (or a lot of us) want the equivalent of Typescript for SQL. Which people have tried to build but their efforts have ended up

Also, it doesn't make a lick of sense. Growing head count 50% over 2 years and then pulling back 5-10% isn't breaking the back of workers. It sucks for the 5-10% but big tech still has much more demand for workers than they have

Yeah I'd say it started probably in the 90s and by maybe the early 2010s it was acceptable to wear scrubs in any sort of medical situation. Like even the receptionists at a opthalmologist would wear them.

It's still essentially the same rule. Something like "Dress according to society's expectations" where it's the expectations that are changing rather than the rule. It's a meaningful difference because ultima

While this is neither here nor there wearing scrubs out is a relatively new phenomenon. In fact, even wearing them around the hospital is pretty new too. They started as something you changed into when needed and then changed out of when

There's little evidence that check ups/cleanings do anything either. Same goes for annual physicals.

Urgent Care has an annoying habit of charging a bunch of money to punt to the ER for liability reasons. Stitches and X-rays to see if you broke a bone are about the only thing they're good for.

That's for debit cards only. Which Visa/MC have knee capped with their monopoly power so it doesn't really matter. Actually helps as a distraction

Sure but that's not why Visa/MC are worth that much. They're worth that much because they're a duopoly that can dictate prices.

Rails has Active Admin which is equivalent to what you get with Django. It's just not a core Rails gem but it's one line in your Gemfile to add it.

It's probably better than the existing alternative. Which is roughly plead guilty because you don't have money to pay a lawyer. Or don't sue someone because you don't have money to pay a lawyer.

Google is the only advertiser in town that matters. There's some private clubs you can go to (Facebook's properties, Amazon) but for generally placing ads or selling ad space on the internet it's Google.

It's, more or less, practically impossible to be OS agnostic for a backend with any sort of complexity. You can choose layers that try to abstract the OS layer away but sooner or later you're going to run into part of the abstrac

IMHO, part of this is that people have accepted the poor experience of non-realtime applications. But there's a huge UX improvement if the application responds faster than users can input actions. Doesn't matter for all applicat

They use the same format for Accounts Payable Clerk as they do for Director of Devops. Slightly lazy, sure, but not really blog post worthy. If you're an experienced hire just put do not recall and move on with your life.

Think it's a bit of a double edge sword. Disney+ is all Disney IP which is great for those that like it. But if you're not into Marvel or Star Wars or the kids catalogue there's not a lot there.

There's no point in debating the meaning of productivity unless someone claims it's neutral or up. If they're willing to make that claim then it might be worth that debate. Otherwise, it's a pointless side track.
