What's the good actor/bad actor percentage with Tor?

This doesn’t say when children are present - it says school days and maybe specific times. No?

which state has "when children are around" as part of the law? Feels ripe for abuse and kind've unlikely....

Karl Marx or Lenin, Gretzky, or Michael Scott. It's often attributed to Lenin and Marx, but no actual evidence that I've seen.

I don't get it. It takes 10 minutes to get a booster. It's such a non-event.

Troll Factory hard at work here..... 3 day old account, nice.

Correct, if you have a passport or other eligible documents that attest your right to work. Your SSN card counts as one of the eligible forms of attesting your right to work but not your ID.

Which is I think what I said. They still need your SSN, just not the card itself.

That form also requires your SSN (or equivalent ITIN for non-citizens).

Using your passport doesn't obviate the requirement that they have your SSN or ITIN for the IRS.

The SSN card proves your eligibility to work, they still need to verify your ID separately (DL, voter card, etc.). They need both pieces. A passport counts as both.

SSN and proof of citizenship are required for all US companies to employ someone. It's not just background checks.

Part of the issue is you're in a small (relatively) market. In markets that are large enough that ultimately shift corporate behavior everywhere, you'll actually see this improve as a result of what NYC is doing. Imagine how many companies are HQ'd in NY, or have sizable presences. It's a shocking number.

Similar to how California's emissions restrictions are implemented everywhere in the US vs making a separate California-only car, HR will start posting NYC compliant jobs everywhere vs figuring out whether or not they're required. Especially true if LA or SF hop on the bandwagon.

>When Intel starts disabling cores that are fully functional, then the practice shifts over into the bad column of artificial product segmentation.

Why?

If their yield improves, should lower core count chips become scarce and then approach the cost per core of higher end chips? That's not exactly in the interest of a consumer anyway.

Also, they absolutely already do that today - all chip manufacturers make viable cores inaccessible so they can have the right part mix that is selling the way they want.

If your demand curve perfectly matches your supply/yield curve, great - but that's rare over time.

1996 cutting edge

They can also improve monetary yields. On mature processes, the yields are probably higher than demand - cores are being disabled because they have more buyers for a 32 core than a 48 core chip.

If they can sell another 16 cores at no incremental cost post sale, that's attractive. As long as it doesn't prevent that customer from buying a whole new 48 core chip from them, anyway.

Yes. Same with 1Password.

:shrug:

It's a crutch so big companies can cheap out and ship subpar, lowest common denominator software that is bloated and slow.

It is good for small teams to be able to rapidly build cross platform apps that are good for MVP.

Slack is bad for using electron.

Because the worst abusers of Electron can afford to have dedicated teams for platforms.

Do you think Slack can't hire enough developers to build native platforms for Mac/Windows/Linux? Spotify? Discord?

I get it for small dev teams to build a cross platform app - but at a certain size, I don't understand why they can't go build native apps that aren't garbage.

The problem for Bill de Blasio....

No he isn't. If he was, he'd go after Xbox and PS stores as well which also take 30%.

But they make up like 70% of the revenue for Fortnite, so they haven't picked that fight.

They went after the bottom 20% of their revenue. That is exactly a calculated business fight.

What about in app payments in XBox or PS4? It will not surprise you to know they also take 30%.

I can't help but notice that Fortnite is also available in the PS4 store as well.

This is simply Epic doing their own money grab against the the platform they can most afford to alienate:

  >The documents show that from March 2018 to July 2020, the 
  >breakdown of Fortnite revenue by platform was as follows:

  >PS4: 46.8%  
  >Xbox One: 27.5%  
  >Android, Switch, PC: 18.7%  
  >iOS: 7%

This is a flyer for Epic to try to take a bigger percentage from their ecosystem partners and devalue them. Commoditize your complement. And they simply started with the one they could afford to alienate.

NASDAQ

If you read the article, it wasn't outside lawyers. He was freed because one of the doctors in the mental facility (who originally declared him incompetent) had a change of opinion and actually tried to verify his claims and realized he was telling the truth.

The innocence project is just trying to clear his name, after he went to live with his sister in Vermont.

No, GAAP solves for this.

This isn't an IRS change. It was a public behavior change.

The owners always had to withhold taxes from their wait staff, just as your taxes are withheld by your employer.

The difference is that since almost all tips are now on credit cards, the business owner doesn't need to assume the % sales to withhold, and withholds based on virtually all of their employees tips.

The end result is that the wait staff can't commit tax fraud by not reporting tips. The business owner didn't have to report cash tips, only withhold based on a % of sales. They still withhold on % of sales if actual tips are less than the % of sales.

Attempted Murder is a crime - so is attempted bribery and extortion.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Except that's not how the ads work. They're all being bid in real time, by both people using FB tools (small biz) and 3rd parties.

Whoever submits the highest bid wins that ad impression. Less information will mean people bid less, and the targeted ad prices will revert to their less targeted peers from a price perspective.

No, this isn't right - because FB can no longer tell you as much information about the ad they're about to display, they're going to collect less money for it.

They can't correlate that ad to an action, which means they can't make you a happy chart that says the ROI is there. So you're going to pay less for it.

This isn't going to harm small businesses no matter what FB says.

Do people use Spaces and like it?

Feels like if they want to engage more people to participate they need to figure out how to build communities that aren't just hashtags, and make twitter threads/conversations more conversational.

Everything just seems to fragment into a mess anytime there's a discussion... it's still best as a one-way medium, which is why there's more consumers than posters.

They must, otherwise Facebook wouldn't freak out so much on the anti-tracking notices.

I routinely limit location on apps - as well as address book, microphone and camera.

No wifi hotspot is using 110 watts.

110 watts is a fair amount of power - at $0.20/kWh you're going to add $16 to your power bill monthly.

It's similar to leaving a desktop computer on 24/7.
