I'm not actually allergic (AFAIK) but I dread walking buy a perfumed candle/soap store. They should have to be sold from tents like fireworks.

That sounds like Pennsylvania? Naturally there are key cities that you can't get on other continents and for many IT people that's usually San Francisco. But if you aren't actually in one of these key places it's often a matter of imagination that you think the place you are in is similar culturally, etc.

I doubt many people who up and left to desperately save money will go rent a new apartment within commuting distance of an unreliable employer.

Perhaps there will be a total split in the job market as most look for remote jobs and relocation bonuses have to be perpetual to attract people in.

I've noticed people who start wearing blue blockers can no longer attract a mate..

Is there a lot of rat porn?

Every buy out is a new job offer with dated terms.. Look around before signing anything.

Yeah, though I've seen a lot of raw talent in people who just can't stick it out. I think this is more correlated fields and perhaps a mix of tolerance for fields with similar frustrations mixed with coping strategies for dealing with failure based on technicality.

At any rate I think a lot of people fail out of programming and into another tech career, so it's not really a bad idea for a 30 something from any field.

It doesn't really matter since exempting the sectors that oppose it knowing they would be hurt would make every free trade zone exit ideal for the exiting country.

There are companies that actually can hire in this fashion, Google was and then perhaps pretended to be such a company.

One could break it up into separate jobs for the different levels but that's also misleading if you are considering 3 PhD experts and 2 mid-level or 7 juniors and 3 seniors, etc.

In theory its not all that bad when such a post is true, in that it means an individual contributor role might be higher than anywhere else in the industry.

The absolute floor is nothing, far less than the cost of tent cities which use a lot of horizontal space compared to high rises of prefab micro apartments.

The trouble is that local government is coerced to eliminate people who don't directly or indirectly pay a lot of property tax, especially if they are minors and require school.

The federal government should be required to pay general costs per head to local government from it's excessive collection of income tax to put an end to this nonsense of states and towns trying to evict the poor and steal the rich from each other.

AFAICT it's a survey based study so there is no definition. It's whatever the participant thinks it means.

Given the esophageal cancer, I'm going to guess that most participants considered a hot drink to be skipping breakfast as a drink isn't food whether or not it has calories.

> I wonder if this will lead to more people buying Chinese drugs, given the more harsh reaction by the government during their own drug crises.

I doubt it, baby formula importing didn't seem to die down in China as a result.

I haven't been following the developments there recently, but I am skeptical this changed even after the US' chaos over allowing a near monopoly to become too big to shut off, too unsafe not to, and naturally above criminal consequences for fraudulent paperwork.

It seems like it was just the other day that I was telling a friend:

You've got a great set of Kumho tires, do really want to risk wearing them out with those Dickass brakes?

From the article:

> Small brands capitalized on the market’s transition from 2G to 3G/4G, benefitting from strong entry-tier demand, particularly in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

If he decides he'll need 500 million more for his personal goals he does a dividend amounting to a reduction of 568 million in Blomberg's money on hand, presto!

Huge difference there because it spent some time in his account, if you are his accountant or if you are Bank of America, but for the rest of us the distinction is largely a waste of time.

The US also follows its citizens everywhere like Eritrea.. Being resident in a State has nothing to do with being a US person.

> While Make UK regards the rise in the export rankings as “encouraging”, it cautions that this is only the third time since 2002 that the UK has been ranked higher than France and cannot be attributed to a post-Brexit bounce or other specific factors.

Sounds like it is just complex models for each country with significant sources of error so one year is only really a good indicator that the UK probably hasn't slipped.

They also hire the same PR people..

For some postal employees easy access to credit card mailings is irresistible and they get prosecuted for credit card fraud..

The specifics of what they record in a verification is a bit vague and I would be concerned that some would sell celebrity accounts, or a way to get into an account used for private financial access, etc, even if the access to identity with other government agencies is theoretically a bigger pot.

While true I think this shows the discounting of real labor costs in OSes.. If Hurd were magically granted every possible resource to be complete and on par with everything else in 1993 it would have needed far more resources in the last 30 years to still be a complete OS today, since it wasn't complete it is very hard for it to get even a small portion of those resources.

Yelp is accused of running a shake down service which restaurants can pay to remove unwanted reviews. The cheaper alternative is to pay others to dilute them.

He seems to have played all the important roles for violating lobbying ethics, and probably wasn't consulting at a tobacco and then telco company out of coincidence, either his presence or his purpose would have been a facilitation of laundering.

22 months is embarrassing, that no other agency could put him away first is even more embarrassing.

Looks like he stepped down to stop investigations into the Frontier Foundation, a scam NGO for nepotism and transfers of wealth?

Sounds anticompetitive.

They provided a similar (and vastly more popular) artwork and it was displayed. Even works that are not supposed to be creative works differ from the original order and courts often don't decide on a full refund if it provided utility.

I find it kind of strange that they don't want to keep these talking points but I think the court should have decided what value they already got out of using them if they don't permanently accept them.

AFAIK resistance training would beat aerobic sport (for this problem); the correlation is right in the headline.

That didn't apply to books, plans for movies and the multi media franchise are faster now, discussions on day time TV might be manipulated with largely false controversy to imply parents should read all this stuff, etc.

That being said, I don't see much connection between the G/PG blockbuster related adult readers and the coming-of-age book auditors.

It doesn't seem to me like it is a direct choice of adults to consume juvenile media, rather all media has adjusted to the curse of the marginal user and prefers to market garbage that can be sold to anyone.

> If it is going to enter a state of perpetual decline, then it is doomed, full stop

There's nothing about the types of decline we are seeing that imply they are perpetual. I think these declines are a positive alternative to having decline roman empire style whenever we get too close to a political stalemate in resource allocation.

I'm not really sure how to get statistics that aren't a bit cherry picked when it comes to any of the social networks.

I still occasionally encounter links here and accidentally click, if I had an account I would be an engaged user? For content on the platform it seems easy enough to boost whatever users remain active.

Facebook had a short period where I thought I might have to join to not miss FB only content, then twitter had a phase where you kind of had to read someone's stream of rant to get a specific piece of info directly. Both of those are completely past and they are just another way people link to primary content that remains on the real web. The only dark web that seems relevant to me, at rare times, is behind a newspaper paywall.
