If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage — like it should be, in my and many other folks’ opinion — then it wouldn’t matter. One person’s excess isn’t a problem, unless it’s at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case…).
An SEO specialist walks into a bar, saloon, watering hole, place to get drinks, neighborhood bar, dive bar, best mixed drinks, beer on tap…
I don’t have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can’t get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.
One is bad because it’s a vote counting when it shouldn’t; the other is bad because it’s a vote not counting when it should. It’s essentially the same functional outcome, it’s just that one of these…you know…actually happens a lot and the other doesn’t.
The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.
(Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations…)
Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).
For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.
But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)
My headcanon for The Matrix’s “humans are batteries” is that it’s the machines’ perverse interpretation of this — killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives “meaning” in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) “battery” somehow satisfies the rules.
It’s a very big stretch, I’ll admit…
Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you’re referring to) is about 25% — but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).
Stock — at least, RSUs — is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you’re referring to — I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert…
And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story…
Unclear from article (at least, for me) how much of this is existing stock grants only now vesting, vs. approved raises/new grants/etc.
Not that it particularly matters — big compensation at the top with tumult for the folks at the bottom is…not a good look.
I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
Step one: join local bike coalition.
Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.
Only half joking here.
It’s not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see — in the past 7 or so years that I’ve lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).
My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.
I don’t care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.
Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform…not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.
Yeah, it sucks that progress is so slow, and yeah, it sucks that some things have gone backwards. But there has been a huge amount of progress in the past however-many years. We went from “don’t ask, don’t tell” to having a Catholic president openly support gay marriage in a relatively short time.
Using Harris’ Glock anecdote as evidence the party is moving to the right is just lazy editorializing IMHO. Almost as lazy as just asserting that the party is moving to the left because of the issues that you decided illustrate the left-right difference…
Maybe don’t use body shaming terms though? That’s just lazy, and it’s mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.
This election isn’t about “which one,” it’s about voting vs. abstaining.
Duh, just read it back from /dev/random
You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.
Same argument against vegetarianism/veganism — we have teeth “designed” or evolved for eating meat, thus we should eat meat.
…we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!
Perhaps microwaving for significantly longer, at a low power level, would be safer and result in higher success/yield?
Remote backup server would be my suggestion.
Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend’s or family’s place.
I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.
