I doubt Apple or Bill Gates have very many incriminating Twitter DMs. Kanye is a non-factor, nobody serious cares what a, respectfully, manic-depressive is DMing about. Elon Musk m…

You think the FBI and SEC couldn't get a warrant, look through 10000 people's trading activity and have a list of 100 most likely suspects within a single day?

No Amazon generally does not provide you a company phone, at least not when I was there.

That isn't what OP was talking about, but to answer your separate question--in Seattle you have unarmed people who pushed some concrete blocks into the street, in Oregon you had we…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Malheur_Nati... Like this scenario in 2016 that ended when the last far-right occupiers of a national wildlife refugee left after 6 …

isn't most text you'll see nowadays going to be printed and standardized? I can't remember the last time I read a handwritten anything, aside from my own notes.

Just because they've cut these projects or they're not generating revenue today doesn't mean they don't "need" them. What if the economy tanked in 2007 and Amazon decided to dissol…

The average American didn't (and probably doesn't) distrust their government on anywhere near the same visceral level as someone living in the soviet union.

I find that this is the biggest pain point for me. When I am working on a task, it usually ends up spanning several files. And I just don't have very good memory. I struggle to rem…

What constitutes a high vs low effort application?

In North America are non-supermarkets and non-warehouses even 5% of grocery retail? I think that restaurants being allowed to sell groceries would've been cool. But I don't see how…

Do you have an international driver's license or whatever that is?

In the live address they said that most implementations will be left to the county and local govts. The state isn't giving any specific guidance on masks, for example, leaving that…

Does anyone have any tips for the "micro" lulls? I'm a professional programmer of 5 years. Back in December I was floating high, feeling so empowered and at the top of my powers. N…

1. It's old people AND people with comorbidities, which is a ton of people. 2. Lots of old people, which for Covid is about 65, still work full time jobs. Some of them fly every we…

I feel like that is the least of their problems

Why does anyone talk to a journalist when they don't get anything out of it or advance their interests? People like to tell their story, especially when aggrieved.

That's a great point I always struggle with coming up with UIs for side projects, but really everything I come up with will always look cheap compared to the efforts of 13 experts.…

I personally don't think that ~10% of people who are in the low food security box are doing great. They still seemed to do horribly in some of the metrics they gathered. For exampl…

I don't think that's a low bar. The US is an advanced economy. Why would people being unable to get fresh produce or have a balanced and varied diet be acceptable? Especially when …

Does the US government subsidize them at all? I wish we would pivot faster to renewable energy, but in the meantime we should also ensure we are not reliant only on authoritarian s…

I don't mean to be glib, but isn't this a good opportunity for her to learn those skills? I wasn't a good self-learner until I was in AP Bio and the teacher was very incompetent an…

Actually, yes I recall now this is exactly what happened to me! I applied and forgot about it, assuming it didn't matter to them when I responded. What a bummer

Has anyone ever been refused a developer account? I wanted to write some scraper and did the form, but they rejected, told me in the email there was no appeal, and I guess that's i…

Totally talking out of my butt here, I have no finance knowledge. But just as a matter of general game theory stuff I understand that sometimes you have to push all your chips in o…
