Years back I worked with a gent who developed the back end of the site that saw enough traffic to support our team via advertisements.

He was, from my perspective, very sharp. He said that his manager at a previous job stated that the most valuable skill was getting along with others. The manager stated that he could train any human monkey to code, but the interpersonal relationships skills were tops in his view.

Interesting quote from this twitter thread...

"When I've been on Fox News, the production assistants who led me through backstage confided they were making min wage and struggling to get by in NYC. I asked the hosts (who make seven figures and laughed at me on air) to talk about their workers' pay on air. They always said no."

I understand that there is going to be a certain level of hypocrisy in any large organization, but wow, this (to me) is beyond the pale.

It is rather scary that Omicron is said to give mild cases, causing some I know to not really worry about it.

It is sad that with so little known about Long Covid, the General Practitioners mentioned in the article are telling their patients that it's just anxiety and 'to go home and sort themselves out.'

When the symptoms don't fit a known diagnosis, the default probably should not be 'it is all in your head'.

I have a Digital Ocean droplet using Wireguard for just myself and my mate.

My use case is not wanting my ISP to snoop on my activity, and not being as nervous when connecting to an open wifi network, such as at a hotel or medical office/hospital.

YMMV

The launch vibrations and their resonance frequency are accounted for in the design.

The unplanned vibrations due to this mishap was not planned for.

I understand they ran some tests and calculations after the accident and believe that the instruments are good to go.

My impression is that English is not the authors first language. So I usually give them some slack rather than being quick to criticize.

Another way is to use software without such limitations.

Gimp comes to mind.

Since corporations are legally people with rights of free speech, like individuals have...then they should be taxed like the average person is, on revenue.

If a corporation is responsible for the death of a person, the CEO, CFO, COO, and members of the board should serve prison time.

If the corporation is a repeat offender, then the corporation should suffer the death penalty. The assets liquidated a public auction. Also Corp Officers and board members go to jail and are forbidden from ever holding such position again.

I look forward to your down votes.

By your definition of a "failed state", then the USA has been a "failed state" in the past. Since there have been a couple of assassinations of US presidents.

It really depends on which type of stainless steel that is used. Some, like 400 series, will in fact rust.

Others, like Hastalloy and Ferrallium, have very good resistance to corrosion. A company I worked for used these metals for burial containers that were certified for ~300 years.

I believe that any movement of $10,000 or more is automatically reported to the Feds. A systematic movement of say $9,000 multiple times to avoid that would be viewed as structuring and you might draw their attention as well.

--edit (a word)--

I have a friend who served as a tank gunner in Vietnam. Has was wounded and sent home. He ended up with 4 teeth left after his jaw has been shot.

He refused to accept that the US lost. No amount of reasoning would make him budge on that opinion. I dropped the subject as it was a risk to our friendship.

I understand where he is coming from though. To have lost so many friends in addition to his personal injury, it would mean to him that it was all for nothing if he were to acknowledge it as a loss.

[edit - a word]

I'm sorry, but a publicly traded company's highest priority is to it's shareholder. To them money is the only priority.

To think otherwise is a bit naive.

User privacy is usually an afterthought, or a PR statement. Since you are the product being sold, your expectation of privacy should be somewhat lower.

I don't quite understand what they mean by the term “humane” architecture.

I see that is has low carbon footprint, is made of local materials. But is that what they are defining as "humane" architecture?
