a concern I've heard of CBDCs and cashless systems in general is that governments will be able to do exactly that, and there wouldn't be a recourse to someone pushed out of the system. More realistically they could have your purch

just to footnote the quote since I didn't know what it meant the first couple times I saw it: It's likely in reference to an article and line in a video as part of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" concept. T

My own normally-cautious family is tentatively having people meet up from four cities in one house for a week, which I feel is taking too much of a risk even if everyone's tested. I'm likely to cancel and cause some disappointment

yes, and IIUC it's already a crowded market. I haven't been car shopping in a very long time so I'm not sure what's the current state of the art, but the Kelley Blue Book (edit: mentioned in a sibling comment) is probabl

Thanks for surfacing the info on health care. EdJiang, please note this isn't to you directly (either as a poster or Uber employee), my engineer-brain is sort of thinking of loopholes and unintended consequences. I'm not expressin

I heard one plan was to gain market share and eventually replace drivers with self-driving vehicles altogether, but I should note I'm spreading at least third-degree hearsay.

One lawsuit was a Department of Justice antitrust investigation (quickly settled) that required a bunch of lawyers, discovery, and having the conduct run up against the Sherman antitrust act. I think a tech union is very unlikely but would

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your point, but might a union actually help in this case? The 30 hour mandate is from the federal government as part of the Affordable Care Act. If someone was moved from 40 hours to 29 hours beca

+1 to your post and links. I'm also surprised by how much anti-union sentiment exists in the US; things like the 40-hour workweek and concept of overtime were paid for in blood.

This question looked interesting, and it's a matter of opinion but IMO none of them started out nearly as simply as we're discussing in this thread. I think they all fail the 4-weeks-to-revenue test (Not seeking to argue, was just

Nice project idea and congratulations on launching the first set! One suggestion in case it's OP's project or the author is reading: if your video editing workflow has audio adjustment tools or supports plugins, consider using a d

FWIW thanks for being responsible. I'm just a W2 worker but have seen plenty of rationalization around this including "well my competitors are taking the forgivable loans so unless I do I'm at a disadvantage and thus negativ

Hindsight is 20/20, and not really fair, but leaving any judging tone out of it, yes, AAL would have benefited from more cash on hand. Or, maybe it was the right decision after all if they get bailed out. There's also more than re

Had a teammate do something similar but much simpler in the past (think limiting execution and FS permissions). This is unlikely to end with management appreciating your initiative.

OP can maybe comment or correct (btw Congrats on making the jump, OP!) but given the business/operations language this might be the Ops Manager ladder, on which there is an entry-level manager position. IMO interesting, and cool if it

100% serious, not a low-effort political comment: I don't think they're at all afraid of being accused of being partial. Over the last few years, one of the things that has bothered me the most is that the strategy of saying &quot

fwiw most of the the Google rows look to be consultants, contractors or vendors. Amazon had fewer with details but tentatively had full-timers. though IIRC at least a couple of the FAAMNGOs try to keep C/C/Vs from portraying their

I'm another REAPER fan. It's wonderful if you're looking for a reliable, slim, portable, cross-platform DAW. A few notes: +1 that you can get most of Reaper's plugins for use in other DAWs (maybe only for Windows though?

I'd advise giving your current lead every benefit of the doubt to figure out if the problem is truly a mismatch of their skills to leadership or if there's something happening beyond your team. In the latter case you may not want
