Did they offer you the job or did they just state the expected compensation? b/c those are two different things. They could have told you the position paid $380k, and then assessed you were not qualified for the position and not extended an employment offer.

And when I say you, I don't actually mean you. I mean anyone they held interviews with and stated the expected compensation.

Does Swedbank require you to have your primary salary account with them to have your mortgage, or do they require you to have an account with them to receive a discount on your mortgage? B/c those are 2 different things... Thanks in advance for the clarification <3

My understanding of vertical farming is that the only thing they've succeeded in growing in leafy greens.

People in cities still need rural towns for farming and related agriculture production. Maybe in 20 or 50 years most farming will be automated, but until then lets not lose sight that big cities are dependent on those rural towns with "strange tradition life of worse health, poorer people, less equality and more pollution"

Your paypal account charges you every time you make a transaction. It is not free.

The bathroom incident resulted in a temporary ban, not a permanent ban, was over a year prior to his permanent ban.

As for his negotiations with twitch... If I Recall Correctly, he signed his contract with Twitch MONTHS prior to Mixer shutting down. Twitch had just lost Ninja to a MASSIVE deal at Mixer and Shroud was leaving for Mixer too on another massive deal, so twitch signed DrDisrespect (Doc) to a MASSIVE deal (numbers were never reported). Then after Mixer shut down, twitch banned Doc for no apparent reason (there was nothing he had done recent to the ban). At the same time though, twitch was under a lot of pressure in the media for losing a lot money. An early speculation about Doc's ban was that twitch needed to stop paying his contract to clean up their balance sheet. Which is supported by a lot of the monetization changes that have happened since then (ads, ads, and more ads, all mandatory) and reports from streamers that have inked deals with YT that Twitch wasn't opening the purse for them like they had in the past (Lupo and TimTheTatman have said as much).

> It's not a Florida judge, it's a Federal judge in the US District Court.

And yet, the US District Judge is still not a military judge.

This is a military matter and should be left to the military courts and judges that are well versed in military law. Let the federal courts handle federal laws, let local courts handle local laws, and let military courts handle military laws.

If tech companies and nation states started enforcing/obeying laws based on the Nationality Principle, then FB/Google/AMZN and other data collecting firms would be allowed to ignore GDPR on the principal that the developers are in the US and thus they don't have to follow local laws.

That's one example, but there are numerous others, some worse and some harmless. Either way, it's a problem for everyone. What laws do you follow, which laws are enforced, how many laws are being broken by a developer that is just trying to publish a fun app.

There are ways for a government to project their laws on another nation, but Nationality Principle is not one of them. An example of one country projecting laws onto other countries are the US Anti-Money Laundering laws that the US doesn't even follow but they demand every foreign government that uses USD to follow.

Do you have any recommendations?

Preferably one I don't HAVE to pay a subscription to use...

When individuals report income, they don't report the person that gave them that money.

Example, as a teenager mowing lawns for your neighbors, you just told the IRS you made $x,xxx mowing lawns for the fiscal year. Not that your neighbor named Susan at 1234 fake street paid you $xxx/month to mow her lawn 4 times a month, or that Joe from 4321 real street purchased the upcharged package that includes managing his compost bin.

In Florida we call it the "Baker Act"

Third time is the charm?

It blows my mind that she was found guilty for defrauding investors, but not guilty for defrauding patients about their test results.

Investors know that every dollar they put into a company could disappear, it's why startups get capital from investors and not bank loans.

But a patient does not expect for their blood test results to be completely wrong. Her tests weren't giving false-negatives or false-positives, they were using lab techniques that we have known to be inaccurate for decades. She knowingly sold Walgreens on 1 test, and then performed a different test.

I need to sit down and properly inform myself about how the prosecutors fucked that up so badly.

an hour or so ago there was another comment on this article by user 'HenryKissinger' advocating for assassinating hackers and declaring war on nation states that protect hackers.

The comment has since been deleted, but it feels like a bunch of troll accounts making statements to stir up the comments. :(

Why would we discuss a seal that anyone on fivrr could have come up with for $5? If I came up with this seal, would you still be interested in talking about it? You'd probably be wondering how it ended up on the front page of HN...

The seal isn't anything special. It's a small area with too much going on. It's an eye strain to understand what is happening on the seal b/c so much is happening in such a small area.

This article isn't on the front page of HN b/c of the seal, it's on the front page b/c of who designed the seal. Thus, people will talk about the designer not the seal.

^^^ This, so much this.

Especially with how common we've seen violent outbursts on airplanes since post-pandemic flights have resumed. It's almost a daily occurrence. If those individuals had weapons during flight, the outcomes would be very different.

Leave the detection and prevention of sophisticated threats to agencies better equipped.

It was founded as a platform for streaming pirated anime until it got big enough to acquire major VC investments and start buying streaming rights.

A gym is not a recurring payment, it's a facility access contract defined for a period of time. You agreed upon price for the year, broken down into monthly payments. You are obligated to pay that full amount b/c you agreed to it when you signed the contract at the beginning of the membership.

You don't have such contracts with recurring payment products.

pastebin link is dead now.

A lot of those streamers are pretty open about how twitch revenue is a small portion of their earnings.

Ninja was famously paid $1MM for an 8 hour ad of playing Apex at launch.

I've had private conversation with large streaming friends that have all said independently that the amount they get paid from a short Raid Shadow Legends ad is huge. One said it's enough to buy a nice car, and if they hit their target downloads (w/ link) the number jumps up to enough to buy multiple nice cars.

There is a lot of big money for streamers, not just big streamers.

>>>Studwell notes that when Taiwan was moderately prosperous and dominated by industry half of the workforce could not even read. What really benefited East-Asia was a grey-collar culture, a national, egalitarian educational system and corporatism rather than a white-collar, classist and academic culture more common in say, England.

The rise of industrialization in the states was driven by an educated work force from England that was low on supplies and materials, so they immigrated to the USA which had an abundance of supplies and materials.

When the English workers that were educated in various industrialization techniques setup in the USA, Americans got apprenticeship jobs under the educated English workers and learned.

Your observation about England being white-collar, classist and academic culture may be true to a general extent, but they were the first industrialized nation and then spread that industrialization knowledge through firms, trade, and related institutions. England did not rely on a classist ivory tower culture to operate their industrial sector nor to spread that knowledge.

OP didn't ask for an "alternative sources in certain newspapers", OP asked for a source from the AG's office.

No republican in history has ever uttered those words.

Republicans argue that government run programs are filled with waste, excess, and decreased output b/c they don't have a profit motive. That was the case with Soviet manufacturing operations, Chinese farming, and the US Veterans Affairs Hospitals. The Soviets could never get the right products when they were needed b/c manufacturing decisions where made from a centralized location, not by the people that needed certain goods. China used to control farming, until one day they had the bright idea to let the farmers control farm output. Chinese farming production has increased by multiples of it's government mandate levels. The VA Hospital system is the worst healthcare system in US, in terms of quality of car and lead time for an appointment. And the US Government doesn't cover military connected injuries at non-VA Hospitals.

Those are intel based Macs. This being an article about the M1 going into mass production, it's probably fair to say the parent comment was referring to those specs in an M1 Mac, not an intel Mac.

>>>The dynamics of the market are driven by monopoly pricing and mortgage and rent are paid more like a tax than a payment for a yoghurt that you can choose not to buy or buy an alternative. You can't choose not to be housed.

You also can't choose[0] to starve to death, and yet your use of the choice to buy, or not buy, yogurt isn't counted as a monopoly of the food industry. Housing isn't a monopoly. We have plenty of choices, from buying a house to renting a house, or we can build our own mansion or vanlife van. We can live in a hight Cost of Living environment like NYC or Singapore, or we can live in a Low Cost of Living environment like the middle of Alabama or Bali. Shelter is a necessity for live, just like food. And just like food, we have lots of choices to choose from.

[0] *choose may be a poor choice of words for both our arguments, as lots of people choose every years to be homeless, and some people choose to starve to death. But that's semantics and not the spirit of either of our statements. :)

Plenty of major streamers would tell you them switch to YouTube did more good for their careers than twitch.

ValkyRae, CourageJD, DrDisrespect, Anish Giri are some just off the top of my head.

>>This is run by FedTech, which has a range of programs, and I'm not sure how their fee arrangement works.

From the link (no digging required): "There is no cost to participate, and for any team that launches their own venture through this studio, FedTech does not take any equity from the companies formed."

1) go into knowing that the terminology is the hardest part to learn. The arithmetic is fairly easy, but the word salads can get daunting.

2) khan academy, coursera, MIT open courseware, whatever books your library has. Piece together multiple sources, b/c you don't have a professor to ask questions to, you'll need all the different sources and how each source explains the same idea differently for everything to 'click'.

>> Then again, maybe this is just a slap on the wrist. This is equivalent to robbing a store, getting caught, and then the only punishment being "you aren't allowed in the store again, and you have to return the stuff that you stole." Which is pretty damn lenient by the standards of the rest of the US justice system.

The FTC is a civil agency, not a criminal agency.

Just b/c Beam and Yu settled with the FTC out of court doesn't mean the FBI can't go after them for criminal charges.

Why should prestige matter? Too many Corporate Ladder Climbers have used YC as a resume point to get that next promotion at a corporation b/c they view it as more prestigious than things like a graduate degree. That's not a positive for YC, it's a negative. Corporate Ladder Climbers block out those that actually want to do a startup.

As long as the quality of the program remains high, and that is entirely dependent on the quality of the partners, then the program can scale.
