Burning Man itself does not sell VIP tickets. Since 2022, the organization has significantly pushed back against camps trying to package and sell "VIP packages" by restricting them from getting early setup passes, water…
I'm not trying to sound snarky, but the armed forces does have a category of employees who can't be involuntarily deployed: civilians. There are already many civilian employees of the DoD that work in the tech roles…
I've been looking at this personally. It's not stated in the article, but the initiative is known as constructive service credit for cyber direct commissions. The way it works is basically the same as reserve officer…
When I moved and was looking for a new vet and dentist, I specifically asked each one about their ownership structure and didn't choose any that were owned by a PE firm.
There are several redundant tracking systems on an airliner, but the pilot deliberately turned them off. That hadn't been an issue before.
Title should reflect that this was published in 2006. And moreover, I don't think the article's point is true today. Python and JavaScript are both mature languages with massive libraries of online example code for…
My understanding is that due to Webb's location at L2, it can never point back at the Earth, because that would basically be pointing directly at the sun.
They're privately held. You're probably looking at a different Kronos's stock.
I'd say this is essentially an instance of the sequential monopolization problem and imperfectly aligned incentives due to a difference in the shape of each party's cost/demand curve. The classical example of sequential…
The employees (or any group of them, even less than half) are free to join a union and attempt to negotiate with Amazon. However, Amazon would just ignore them. Union votes like the one described here are about…
I'm personally of the opinion that 418 shouldn't be considered a joke response, but would actually useful as 418 "Unsupported Device". What response should a printer give if you asked it to send a fax, but you have a…
I use the BlockSite extension for precisely this- preventing me from opening social media on my work profile
How were you able to take the GED exam at 16? I looked into doing this while I was in high school, and found that I wouldn't be able to take the exam until I was 19, defeating the point. Perhaps it varies by state? If…
I remember reading about some folks who wanted to open a bank that wouldn't make any loans, but rather just take store all their deposits as excess reserves at the federal reserve. They would take a few basis points for…
What a waste of human effort. If the landowners were adequately compensated for having arbitrary use restrictions added to their property after they bought it, they would have had no incentive to bulldoze it in the…
Since I got my driver's license over a decade ago, I've had to parallel-park less than ten times. I've probably changed a flat tire more often. I think you would find that the vast majority of drivers in the US don't…
Once you clone the repository, you can search locally using Git Grep, Git ls-tree, etc.
Isn't that just how you get `const ONE = 1` cruft?
The last-search thing is configurable, depending on your version of Jira. You can have it open to a specific RapidView, or your user-configurable Dashboard page, where you can add a Widget for a a specific JQL like…
I actually worked as a production electrician & lighting designer for a couple years, and I can say from my experience that IATSE is a cancer on the industry. I wouldn't join or support a union for computer…
Valar Dohaeris? Wait, nevermind...
Collin Creek is utterly bizarre to walk through. it seemed like 80% of the shops were shuttered, and I saw maybe a dozen other customers while walking the length of the mall. One of the 15,000+ sqft units was leased out…
This is why California's property tax system, in which taxes don't increase until a property is sold, is often cited as a major factor in its housing dilemma.
