> Several of the examples in the article hinted at familial estrangement, which makes things much worse.
Yes as somebody from a Taiwanese family that also really stuck out from the article. The daughter in Tokyo only seeing the father once a year? Seems like there are deeper problems there.
I once took a programming class from a later (post-Andreessen)NCSA Mosaic team who would joke about Netscape coincidentally having the same bugs as NCSA Mosaic.
Don't they have community colleges with programming courses in Appalachia? I remember years ago I took a single 3-month long summer class at a local community college that taught C, basic data structures, and basic algorithms. Based on what I learned in that class I was able to actually pass tech white boarding interviews and get a summer internship at a local tech company.
I signed up for it when living at my old apartment. When I moved out of the apartment, I somehow got locked out of my USPS account so I could not update the settings to indicate that I had moved out. So now everyday I get an e-mail showing the incoming USPS mail of the person currently living at my old apartment.
I'm in my late 30s and was recently diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa too. I've started to use night shift/f.lux on my computers, and reading this article is also motivating me to update my glasses to one with blue light blocking.
What an interesting story. My dad had an HP-35 that he used as a grad student at Stanford in the 70s, and he handed it down to me decades later for me to use in my high school math classes.
Well when Asians are discriminated against in university admissions and now even when searching for a job (at least in the case of Asian males), exactly what kind of privilege do Asians really have?
The headline is further misleading by saying "foreign citizens" when the study was talking about workers who were "foreign born." A U.S. citizen who was born abroad is not foreign.
And maybe some kind of communication/message passing between vehicles maybe useful. For example, if a vehicle senses black ice in a certain part of the road, it can pass that information to other cars so they know to slow down when going over the same part of the road. So something like Waze but for road conditions.
And where they managed to become a bit of an Internet meme by plastering absurdly self-congratulatory "Well Done Baku" and "Baku Welcomed Us All" signs around the circuit.
Although it wasn't that long ago when BART workers went on strike, replacement workers (former BART operators) stepped in to operate the trains, and then promptly ran over and killed two workers performing track maintenance.
You are absolutely correct that a whole host of laws govern the landlord-tenant relationship. Given how regulated air travel is, as well as United's status as a common carrier, I wouldn't be surprised that there are also similarly restrictive laws for air travel, so I still question whether Dr. Dao did have a duty to vacate his seat despite the breach of contract by United.
I don't think that is true. If you had a valid lease with a landlord for your apartment, your landlord can't just kick you out of your apartment before the end of the lease if you haven't violated any of the contractual terms of the lease.
> No law broken if you upload your own work to the cloud. You have right to do it.
The issue is that they didn't just upload their porn "to the cloud". They seeded their porn via bittorrent, which is a tool used specifically to share files to others. Seeding your own work via bit torrent is at the very least giving implied consent to others to download said work. If you give consent to others to download your work, you can hardly sue them later and claim the downloading was unauthorized.
I moved from SF to Minneapolis ~5 years ago. If you can survive the cold winters here, the area truly offers a great quality of life and way more amenities than you might expect for a very reasonable cost of living.
>A city tax makes far more sense than saying, "Anyone who works for a company in industry XYZ pays more taxes because we hate your entire business category"
Not if you're trying to take advantage of resentment by a certain portion of the population towards industry XYZ.
