It also becomes a giant red flag to any potential applicants.
“Why is this position open?”
“We had the previous employee imprisoned for complaining too hard about how little we were paying him”
Not that it can’t happen, and similar things continue to happen, but most (and certainly the best) candidates will avoid that place for many years, and demand extremely high pay from the beginning.
The CEO reports to the board, which reports to the shareholders. This is how it always is. His goal is basically pointless - even if the board did create a policy, or a charter or whatever, it could be revoked just as easily.
If you want to be calling the shots in a way that you can’t be fired, you have to become the majority shareholder. Like he did with Twitter. But then your customers can still leave. I’m sure that’s why he’s trying for those hefty govt contracts that can’t be terminated so easily.
That’s one of the things that actually makes sense for a (locally rendered) site to have. Not the screen itself per se, but the usable canvas. This allows things like a static navigation bar on the left, and the remainder of the screen for text.
I see no reason for a site to have my battery status, ever. Gyroscope has limited need, and should ask permission.
Very important detail from the article:
The man fled on foot after being approached by the officers, drew his weapon and opened fire, Quinn said.
That’s the reason why the Secret Service shot him. Although it’s still unclear what made him “suspicious” for officers to approach him.
If law enforcement won’t help, then you’ll need a lawyer who can get a court to issue a subpoena. This would probably be in the context of stalking/restraining order.
I can almost guarantee that Facebook, with its extensive data mining, knows exactly who it is.
A valid concern, and why I mentioned it as an assumption. I don’t know what documents Florida allows/requires, especially for a non-citizen. The article only mentions 3 documents at all (license, work permit, social security).
Does he have a Venezuelan passport at home? Does Florida accept it for a replacement card? Combined with a credit card (yes, as a form of ID), I believe that’s enough for my state.
Laws vary by state, but the drivers license (the plastic card) is fairly easy to deal with. The card isn’t your license; it’s a photo ID and a document proving you are licensed. Assuming he has the other identity (etc) documents required, he can just walk into a DMV and get a replacement copy.
Most ads aren’t directly tied to a sales goal. Instead they work on brand recognition. IOW, when you are at the grocery store, you think of Coke in general rather than any specific ads. And when you’re looking for a new car, Ford’s marketing is constantly in the back of your mind.
Combined with the tsunami of marketing everyone faces every single day, few of these ads stand out. You likely don’t turn down buying Coke because of how invasive their ads are.
Mail in voting is an equalizer. Nearly everyone lives very close to a place that accepts outgoing mail, with most at their own homes. Once you require people to physically go somewhere special to vote, then you can put the squeeze on everyone there, in an extremely unequal way. You remember the stories of people waiting 8 hours to vote in Atlanta? Coming soon to everywhere statistically identified as “blue”.
Level 1 charging can work for a lot of people, but it ends up needing a lot more mental energy. You have to more carefully calculate capacity/range, daily needs, charging speeds, variances, and unexpected needs. The end result being that it’s not a great experience.
Level 2, even at the slowest speeds, are enough that you can fully recharge most vehicles overnight. And you have enough capacity to last through the day unless you are a super commuter or drive professionally.
Used EVs are remarkably cheap. The problem is that it still effectively requires you to be able to charge at home, which is not common on cheaper housing.
Cartman was the first person I ever heard use it, by at least a decade. These days I hear a relatively small number of people use it regularly.
Wanda Sykes did a PSA about this. It was put on YouTube 17 years ago. I don’t know when it first aired.
Now I feel old…
It was used in an old Gatorade ad. Is this what you’re thinking of?
I presume you are referring to the SuperFish scandal in 2015.
First, you have to define “comparable”. These are Enterprise-grade laptops. Their class includes the Dell Latitude and HP Elitebook. It doesn’t include anything you will ever find at Best Buy. It might be tempting to do so, since your visible specs like CPU and RAM are the same. But they really aren’t the same.
Within their class, Lenovo has (for over a decade) been noticeably more expensive than their counterparts. Roughly $100-150 more per unit for the T4x0/T14 vs a Latitude 74x0 (now Dell Pro) or an Elitebook 840.
Current prices are: HP Elitebook 8 G1i 14 - Core Ultra 5 236v, 16GB/512GB, $1249
Dell Pro 14 - Core Ultra 5 236v, 16GB/512GB, $1659
Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 6 - Core Ultra 235u, 16GB/512GB, $1809.
All have integrated graphics.
I don’t think the detailed specs/pricing for Gen7 (what the article is about) has been announced yet. I would expect it to be in line with previous generations, since their 9/10 repairability score was.
Now is probably a good time to remember what a VPN can and cannot do. It can block your ISP from knowing which sites you’re going to. It can bypass ISP-level blocks, including geo-blocks.
It cannot stop the endpoints (WhatsApp, both the client and server) from harvesting whatever data they want from there.
Meta is clearly concerned about bans on WhatsApp. This is nothing more than their own self-interests.
Given how everyone involved reacts to power dynamics, I’m certain a bunch of them would be thrilled to tell people they procured some “long pig”, and countless others would love a taste of it.
At the same time, I know how deep the grift goes, and I’m sure the providers would happily use raccoon meat instead.
Many, many years ago (20-ish?) I spent a full weekend trying to get Gentoo working on an even older PC. I wasn’t completely new to Linux (having installed and used a bit of Mandrake and Fedora Core), but I was certainly no expert.
I spent the entire weekend trying and failing to get a usable system, reinstalling numerous times with different options, installing countless packages, and following innumerable guides on troubleshooting. I never had a system even close to as usable as Fedora was out of the box.
Still, I consider that weekend a complete success. I learned more about Linux in that one weekend than at any point since. Everything after that has been little tidbits needed for the task at hand, without much of the base foundational understanding. Failing with Gentoo taught me so much.
Part of the challenge here is that Bambu is a Chinese company. Which means you would have to sue them in China, with predictable results.
You could try to sue them in e.g. the US, then use that victory to secure things like import bans, but that’s a very long, slow, and expensive process.
