In chrome you can often force auto play by playing a sound (and having that fail) and then playing another sound right after that. Maybe IOS has a similar loophole?

>How is the world now so filled with people who are afraid of ideas?

Catholics used to attack Evangelicals. You see the Evangelicals had dangerous ideas that had to be eliminate lest the common folk would be lead astray.

People have always been afraid of ideas. This nonreligious religiosity is novel but we've seen this play before.

"The Journal further characterized the Neumanns as "impulsive at times," reporting that Adam Neumann was "bemoaning the number of 'B' players hired amid rapid growth" and consequently ordered his staff to fire 20% of the company's workers annually."

Adam Neumann the CEO selling dollar bills for fifty cents and hoping to make it up in volume is talking about B players. That's rich.

I remember when you were considered left wing when you defended those artists.

You pay for a month and then receive service. In order for that to work they would have to keep providing service to users who's credit card rejected the payment.

Then the model simply shifts: 1. Get credit card numbers illegally 2. Create Netflix accounts with those credit cards 3. Sell those accounts on EBay, even after the user reports the card as stolen it will continue to work.

How does that jive with:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Probably the same way civil asset forfeiture does, somehow precedent became the supreme law of the land as opposed to the constitution.

When you send a letter it does not belong to the post office while in transit. Why are bits on a hard drive any different?

Also they almost never declare tips for tax purposes

I used to take down pedofile rings online with a few associates. This was strictly a black hat endeavor and I never had to look at anything. My motivation was that its fun to use these skills to ruin someones day (or life in this case) but it's only really moral to do these sort of things against people like that.

I once found a confirmed child porn possessing target with a smart home I was able to access. That guy must of thought he was in a black mirror episode.

If your business leaked millions of private records in a similar manner, would you expect to remain in business afterward?

"In 2008, it was estimated 216,000[2] inmates were sexually assaulted while serving time, according to the Department of Justice figures.

That is compared to 90,479[3] rape cases outside of prison."[1]

Men are 92% of the prison population[4]

My suspicion is that most people asking questions of this nature will be unsuccessful. If the answer you receive is "No, it will take a year" and you would decide not to do it, you probably wont have the desire to push through the first few big hurdles you will likely encounter.

More men are raped as well, both as children and as adults if you count prisons, which as a society we generally don't and that in and of itself is informative.

It really is insane that people buy these services. Do you hire a security guard to stand in front of the bank as well?

MSMAAS

Main stream media as a service

I take professionalism to mean you know your craft. Like for example setting the TTL on a DNS server to a year won't cause downstream services to cache the record for a year but instead something on the order of a few hours to a few days in practice.

To quote RFC 2181: "Implementations are always free to place an upper bound on any TTL received, and treat any larger values as if they were that upper bound. The TTL specifies a maximum time to live, not a mandatory time to live."

The fuss is part of the product. People overestimate health insurance and health costs generally and assign that high value to the health insurance provided by the employer. If that was suddenly converted to a simple wage without benefits firms would likely end up paying more after it all shakes out.

Think of all the times you have heard "That job only pays $x an hour" and the reply "Yeah but the benefits".

>all the employees over 50 can’t tell the difference between the Dev team and IT support. They have no clue, and explaining it to them is impossible.

This is called performative[0] ignorance, in the world view of the person interacting with you they are a senior person (older, longer time with the company) and you are a junior person (younger, less tenure) so it is their place to assign you tasks. The world has moved on but this whole "I don't know computers" act allows them to preserve their self perceived social status.

The reason he requires state actor threat level privacy on all of his devices is now stunningly clear to me. I used to think it was tin foil hat paranoia, but the government has good reason to look at the computers of people who have spoken in the manner shown.

Firms don't want you to know it, but they are struggling to hire competent IT professionals to an extreme degree. Recruiters are being regularly ghosted (like they used to do to candidates) and turn over is increasing. That's why you see them resulting to tricks like this. One thing to keep in mind is that most managers working today cut their teeth when unemployment was at 10% or so, as such they really only know about bait and switch tactics and the stick. Carrots aren't something that really fits into their mental model.

In short, to anyone reading this. Now is the time to make your move.

>But as an employer, why I should strive for honestness? To me it sounds like paying too much.

In my case honestness would have made several firms more profitable. I'm a high school drop out but lifelong programmer from a early age. As such I've had to work for well below market rates on my way up. Generally I do better than most of my college educated peers but since I lack the education I have been compensated much less. As a result I leave jobs every year or two, often around the time I'm really hitting my stride and providing significant value to the organization. As I tend to be above the median I end up on the projects that are critical to the company so what you end up with is someone building a quarter of your infrastructure and then leaving because "its corporate policy to max raises out at 5%" or some other nonsense. At that point you have to go back to the market (counter offers when you told me raises are warranted but impossible are an insult and I refuse to accept them) and likely pay at least market rate for a new employee then get him or her up to speed all as deadlines slip.

When I explain this to whomever I'm giving my notice to I am frequently asked "why would I pay you more than I need to" as a retort. I just shrug my shoulders and move on to the next job.

If you are around my age (25 - 30) this is the only time in your working life unemployment was at a level that is in your favor. Use that leverage and use it fast.

In my layman's understanding of batteries doesn't the resistance of a battery increase with its level of charge? If so wouldn't these large batteries have so much resistance that at a reasonable level of charge most or a large portion of the energy would be lost as heat? Does it somehow charge individual cells as opposed to the whole thing or am I way off base?

With Python, generally speaking, if you are more than a few indentations deep you are doing something wrong.

Flat is better than nested

I can second this. If OP wrote what he wrote here in the unemployment application I'm nearly certain he would get it. Worst case he may have a wait a few weeks (8 where I live I believe) before the benefits kick in.

Well said. This lines up with my personal variant of the golden rule.

"Do unto others has they would do unto you"

Would the people running the business have you increase their profit margin at great personal cost to yourself? Then it is completely fair for you to likewise attempt to enrich yourself at their expense. I no longer do the work that would be best for the business, I try to find myself in the work that would look best on my resume.

Here's a forbes article[0] about this phenomenon. Top performers get rewarded with more work in organizations generally speaking. The next job I have I am going to attempt to appear less competent as I have found that getting a 5% raise rather than 3% isn't really worth all the extra hours and weekends.

Working for someone else for 50 years is harder after its all said and done I suspect

Sparrows are eating a great deal of the produce grown in California, let's remove them to end food insecurity.

20 pounds of rice, $8.48. [0](Just the first price I found online)

At four servings per pound that is 80 servings at $0.106 each.

Average yield of a rice plant, 10 grams.[1]

9071.85 grams of rice is 907 plants roughly.

That's less than a cent to cultivate, grow, prepare, bag and ship a rice plant. Let alone maintain the store where it is sold and pay the workers who sell it to you.

This is the miracle of the free market.

What price do you suggest is more fair?
