Stock options are wage theft for the vast majority of employees taking it, it's gambling and the vast majority of bets don't pay off. It is genius, convincing people to work for less or free.

It's the same show, Nova just rebranded it in the US. BTW, here's a full video of the BBC version but available everywhere. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x223gx8

France and England are trying. The problem is money doesn't build supply lines overnight. Nor does it hire experts both locally and globally and get them there. Much of the data collected on patients by USAID can't just be handed

Ok... so you have to 1. Know you were exposed (many many many people don't know they're HIV+) 2. Have the means to go to a clinic within 72 hours 3. Have the social capacity to go to the clinic safely (in many parts of Sub Saharan

*PrEP It... was, until Musk dismantled USAID and Congress defunded PEPFAR. So many comments by people who have never stepped foot out the Global North making wild assumptions.

And clearly only the people in the USA matter.

> but if someone is unwilling to go on PrEP, why would they suddenly be willing to get a vaccine? Because PrEP at even its best and most modern version requires an update every six months for life. If you're well-off and in SF or NY

If you read Roberts's opinion he literally explains the definition of jurisdiction as it stood when the amendment was drafted (he cites three different dictionaries) and cites floor arguments directly from the Congressional record. It&

Even back then Mike Judge said he had to tone down the absurdity he saw on fact-finding trips to Bay Area. He said no one would believe how absolutely stupid so much of all of it he saw was.

Just to expand on this: "ye" in "ye Olde mill" is actually just "the" but originally "þe"/"þee". The first printing presses to England were imported from Germany, which never used þ, so

Even in NYC you could get by pretty much just fine without a phone (a credit or debit card is pretty much required though). The hardest part would be losing contact since expectations of how people organize and meet up are completely mobile

Personally I hope you can also type to Siri, which is what I'll use WAY more than voice. I work from home and live alone, but even then I don't want to basically be talking to myself all day. I also live in a major urban city and

Don't just limit it to the US, it's going very well in the UK too!

This one actually certainly is, it just hasn't shown up in court because no one's dumb enough to enforce it. The Constitutional Convention discussed a national language at length in 1789, and adamantly didn't include a lang

Again, this is a hiring issue, not a legal one. You want to make it against the law for your boss to hire bad managers?

This is a hiring issue, not a legal one. The US has no official language, and no language tests, so requiring English in law would be dicey to put it mildly. What if I'm hiring someone specifically to work at a Spanish language news ou

This has been a thing for all tech companies for years. According to what I was told by some FANNG people (I've never worked for them myself) some employees were/are were sent to public speaking classes after being hired specifica

SimCity 4 has a native Mac build, it's on Steam. Most of the modding community uses Windows now though since the .dll hacks became feasible.

Trains are absolutely better but France also outlawed most of those short haul flights. https://www.euronews.com/2024/07/06/frances-short-haul-fligh...

Most trains are diesel-electric, so they already have batteries? For those unaware, in this type of engine the diesel engine is actually a generator which charges the batteries and then the electrical power is used to drive the train. It&#x

It did atrophy, but more importantly understanding what's going on below the code you are writing, even if your project isn't assembly, also atrophied. When you're coding an Electron app with Javascript you're so far rem

I'd absolutely splurge $200 on a lot of things (a date just the other day for instance) but there's many options at least as convenient, remembering you still have to get to the helipad, as this. As a New Yorker I don't wan

As someone who lives alone, I very much wanted to want it (I do much of my life by myself anyways since I WFH and live in NYC where all my friends have very different schedules). $3500 just couldn't justify it for me though, $1000 less

I live in NYC and make quite a bit more than $80k and would still never splurge $200 for a trip to the airport. JFK by car (when I'm in an emergency) is already $100 and I get irrationally angry at it. Not to mention I'd have to a
