Personal opinions aside it is a valid use case. They can track the wallet and they will, but they cannot close/lock the wallet as they did bank accounts. As you’ve implied there are methods to achieve anonymity but they require technical knowledge. If this becomes a commonly understood use case it will likely become easier for the average person.
My understanding is that Cook was never meant to be an innovator, he was a supply chain expert that also has the experience and skills to run a company the size of Apple. Replacing Jobs was never going to happen. Apple navigated the 2020 supply chain crisis almost flawlessly.
As far as innovation goes TC seems to have delegated pretty well so far. The AirPods and Apple Watch innovation were future changing. More recently Apple’s M1 line may not be future changing but absolutely shows Apple’s willingness to take risks while innovating.
Would everything likely be better if Jobs was still around? I think so. But he’s not and I’d rather not have some pseudo-Jobs CEO taking risks he probably shouldn’t.
I know of one person who does it right now (not in the tech field). It seems possible in certain positions in some fields but requires a lot of planning, some luck, and a lot of work.
As long as it’s a salaried position and you’re getting the job done at/above expectations, the company shouldn’t care as much as some of them seem to.
How are “good parents” expected to find this low-odor, marker-sized object without deeply invading their child’s privacy or ruining their bond and becoming “bad parents”?
Gone are the days of finding a smelly bong in the back of the closet, this could be in their pocket or purse at all times.
The side effects of weed could be found in every sober teen. Hungrier, more emotional, more distant from parents, etc. Are good parents supposed to treat their children like criminals until they no longer show signs of puberty?
2020’s numbers are going to be hard to beat I expect that to be a “recent” baseline for a while. The article later claims that it is believed that Tech Companies are between 200%-400% overstaffed and companies have suddenly shifted from hiring sprees to layoffs or hiring halts. While it’s not presenting mass layoffs, it is displaying the sudden change in sentiment.
Imparting one’s philosophy onto a platform that is for the most part static is the most one could do without bastardizing the platform.
Twitter’s biggest moves since its inception aside from TOS/legal/anti-evil have been character count, ads, timeline algorithm, gifs/videos/polls, and connecting NFTs to your avatar. Nothing groundbreaking on the user side.
Musk could get kudos for simply hiring an intern to add an “edit button” as he’s already hinted at.
I love good satire, over the last decade I’ve moved from the Onion to Clickhole and have landed on Babylon Bee for now. They have a stuff aside from their partisan pieces that matches the quality of The Onion and Clickhole when they were in their prime.
Both of these articles are recent, in my opinion the jokes and the production quality are just better on The Bee. There’s a lot of political stuff from both too but that’s not what I’m interested in.
Based on anecdotal evidence it seems that you’re on the right track. California EDD was defrauded for millions and it was so embarrassingly bad that they shut down the system to many users. This forced them to live off of savings/family and live more frugally for months. Recently I’ve heard of many people being sent checks (back pay) for up to ~$10,000. It may not be that they’re still on UI but that they recently received lump sums that were designed to hold them over for months without working.
Community service usually isn’t that bad, people volunteer to do it all of the time. Just from what I read in the story, it seemed Edwin was more inclined to want to stay inside than interact with others in person. I also assume the exchange rate between community service and jail time is reasonable. I think in his eyes the extra time was a painless and quicker way to pay his debt.
It’s just a duplicate thread being moved to the original thread where the discussion on the topic is much further along. I’m sure you understand how counterproductive it is to scatter and divide discussions on a single topic across a website.
This is simply about having relevant information accessible in the one place and is absolutely fair.
The people most capable of changing schools are the boardmembers and well funded unions. Private schools are simply the best alternative right now.
If you ban private schools, people will “group homeschool”. If you ban homeschooling, parents can pack cigarettes in their kid’s lunch sack until they are sent to continuation school where attendance isn’t required. Then the child is free to attend a “group tutoring academy”.
The solution is to make public education easier to reform by the members of the community.
How was it spent: 40% was transferred or cashed out; self reported data shows it was spent on food, clothes, car repairs, and other basics. (Less than 1% went to alcohol or cigarettes).
Not guaranteed for life. Just 24 months ($12,000) in a city with a very high violent crime rate and poverty rate. I think if they keep following these families they will find that they were working harder in an attempt to save money with the goal of leaving the city.
The whole article comes across as dishonest. Specifically where the author mismatched data where relevant data is easily accessible to theorize that Galt’s Gulch would be a hot spot. When in reality, many state governments’ ill-advised regulations already created this exact scenario (example: New York nursing homes).
The pandemic could best be used to critique government bodies and make improvements.
They’re supposed to back up their data and set up proper contingencies. By failing to do so, they are already putting patients lives in the hands of the encryptors.
Many are useful and cutting edge but many more are useless and outdated yet have a much higher dollar value. Bitcoin is a collector’s item, so is Doge. Most of the HN community understands blockchain well enough to know that the crypto market doesn’t make much sense from a technical standpoint.
I’d like to see the market settle and begin treating coins based on the tech behind them and the future value instead of gambling chips. I see the value in some but there’s no telling if the current market will recognize that before a better competitor arrives.
Still quite an exaggeration, since most of the (ex) service workers I know are going to coffee bars and sharing joints. I’ve seen a few teachers unions get busted for coordinating vacations abroad while they boycotted in-class learning because it was an “unnecessary risk”.
The reality is, a lot of people are abusing the temporary safety nets to avoid what they see as inconveniences because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably won’t come back to bite them.
There’s a lot more to it than that. Amsterdam has a very large local port and a ton of tourism. This part of southern Italy has been subsidized for at least a decade. If this was Venice or Cinque Terre I’d be all over it but it’s unlikely that these areas will succeed in the same way unless something huge changes.
