I thought SF had safeguards in place to prevent abusive workplaces like this when someone needs family leave?

Seems like there’s a lawsuit waiting to happen: https://www.alanadelmanlaw.com/th-family-and-medical-leave-r...

Considered this for home. Then asked myself, “what happens if they’re gone in five years? I’ll be looking for the next thing to replace this.”

If Google or Apple made something like this, I’d bite. However I don’t know who these people are, how much runway they have left, life expectancy of the product, and how open and secure this is.

Good. Those retired parents and community members standing outside of grocery stores, Peet’s/Starbucks, farmers markets deserve this after all of their hard work.

Politics does not belong in public schools during a pandemic. The city attorney sued the board at one point demanding they produce a back to school plan last year. After a seven hour closed door school board session with their attorneys, their tone changed real quick after that meeting.

SFUSD is not a Petri dish to experiment on kids with real world politics.

A lot of them don’t want the free housing because they are not allowed to do their vice indoors. Can’t smoke or shoot up illicit drugs so they opt to not take the free housing.

There was a point before the pandemic that here in SF the U-Haul off of Paul St was out of trucks and trailers. For weeks if not months at a time.

There’s a tap I use when deploying Macs: https://github.com/buo/homebrew-cask-upgrade

You can upgrade cask installs via an interactive prompt. You can automate this as well with a login or logout script in your MDM

brew cu -a will look at all your cask installs and let you know what’s out of date, then prompt to upgrade them all, interactive upgrade, or none.

Honest question. If I was some sort of authority figure with the state’s building inspection. I have a need to travel to Florida to inspect that building collapse because I’m an expert in that field. Does this mean I need to pay out of pocket to do work?

How does it work if I have legit business there?

About a few years after this article came out, I was working for a local hardware reseller. One of the engineers on staff for support told me about NT on Alpha. He also told me there was NT for PowerPC somewhere in a development lab at Microsoft. I didn’t get that far into digging, but he made it sound like Microsoft was doing this as a backup solution should Apple want to offer it.

Two things come to mind

- Federal funds is really just debt sold to investors and passed on to the states.

- Newsom is up for recall and most of the anger towards him is how much he fumbled stimulus and the pandemic.

Pretty easy to see that he probably called in some favors at the federal level to save himself.

Google has a history of product rot. Most notably where I rot the two most expensive pieces of product rot are the Jamboards. We opted not to renew them when COVID hit and now that things are kind of going back to normal, I’ve found Logitech and a few other companies have come out with better products that integrate with existing whiteboards for what we need in conference rooms.

Things like the jamboard turn me off of buying Google hardware.

You want half assed? FaceTime when it was announced by Steve Jobs, he himself up on stage said it would be open source. The developers in the front rows looked at each other and said, “did we say it would be open sourced?”

It’s still not open sourced to this day.

I spoke with an electrician after the new campus opened. He said Apple was desperate to get the campus open on time, there weren’t enough local electricians. They were able to get more from out of state to come and finish it up for a hefty price. So I’m sure part of the push is to get value out of their investment.

I agree. Those looking to force everyone back into the office want to prove their worth in front of everyone else.

I hate the idea of how some companies try and position the company as your second family. “No I’m here to do what I do to find my life outside of here.”

When I read articles titled like this, I wonder, “doesn’t someone in HR look at the data and raise red flags? Isn’t that their job?” The only thing I can think of is some exec forcing HR to turn a blind eye to this data.

Or maybe there’s something we’re not being told?

Because the Chinese government use their money and invest in things like Reddit, newspapers, media companies, etc..

Let me ask you this. Why was it wrong to call COVID the China virus, but now it’s ok to call the COVID variant that sprung up in India, the Indian/India variant? One would assume it’s because the Chinese investors influence the American media companies they have a say in.

But I’m speculating of course.

I hate cooking sites that put a novel in front of the recipe. I get that you’re trying to tell a story about how you found it or some history to it. I landed on your site from Google because i know what I want to make and I’m ready to make it.

I’ve found myself in this position lately. I’ve been tempted to just throw the towel in because I can afford to take time off. Is my personal health more important than living out of savings until I’m happy again? Is there another career outside of this id be good at?

I’ve taken time off before after hitting my four year vest window and dealing with an office bully. I said forget it and just quit one day. Took a month off before reality set in that I can’t stop learning skills in my career or otherwise I’d be antiquated fairly quickly if I ever came back.

reddit.com/r/thanksimcured is full of this.

Do we know the full details of this API or is there something nefarious it can do we’re unaware of? Remember several years ago they discovered the webcam can be enabled on Macs without the light turning on? I know this is iOS/iPadOS, but as a consumer I’d like to know what it can do specifically. Or did I miss something?

A well known macOS It developer created an app that can give you admin rights and take them away with an app.

https://github.com/SAP/macOS-enterprise-privileges

Essentially you can still be the admin on your account but this app can make you a general user. When you need to install anything, run the app and grant yourself temporary admin rights. If you deploy this to employees with a management system, you can define default reversion to general user. It addresses the need to not allow users to be admins all the time, grants only when the need it for installation.

I love Apple Pay as of today. I rarely need my credit card anymore for transactions.

I caught myself without the ability to buy gas. Shell gas stations in the SF Bay Area have NFC readers but I’ve never found one that works at all.

I was near empty of gas, pulled into a Shell hoping it worked with Apple Pay. Waved the iPhone over the reader, “Card not supported.” Realized also I had left my physical wallet at home.

I literally maybe need my physical card once every two weeks when running errands. Everything else is Apple Pay.

I’ve been able to track my SO using an AirTag registered to me. My SO did not mention if they got alerts, but I was able to see where they were at any given notice with my tag.

I know Apple was researching multi user ability on iOS and iPadOS. They were looking at extending the Secure Enclave to allow that. Is there a chance this M1 iPad Pro might be a step in allowing multi user accounts on iPadOS?

Part of why it ballooned was that Palmdale wanted to be in on the route. So that connection would add more time and money to the project. There were a lot of cities that wanted to be in on this.

From personal experience (family that lives in Fresno), Fresno revamped downtown to get ready for all this. They cleaned up the Fulton Mall route, pumped a ton of money into the area, realtors were banking on Airbnb housing for all the construction jobs coming in from out of town. Fresno even made a concession to allow tiny trailers to be parked and connected on properties with homes on them already. Then the state shut it down.

Another reason from what I’ve pieced together is that California had so many hurdles to jump through. Namely the environmental reports that had to be made.

Joel goes in depth on the cost. There are also other things being made along with the six episodes (streaming service is the bigger announcement).

Doesn’t this legitimize sex trafficking?

My parents never got a lot of phone calls to their landline until they signed up for Comcast. They had Verizon for years but DSL was aging on their daily usage so I moved them to cable. Non-stop spam calls all day. I had to buy one of those boxes that plugs into the phone line to cut back on the amount they were receiving. This coincidentally started a week after they got Comcast. I am convinced Comcast sells their info or they have data leaking somewhere.

Does anyone know the difference between this and TahoLAFS? Almost sounds the same.

Do you even know how businesses are supposed to operate in China if they’re from the outside? My understanding from a security friend is there are all these hurdles and the Chinese government wants access to networks and source code for anything that’s operating within the country.

Also, there have been plenty of stories on HN where American businesses are ripped off by China knockoffs and there’s no way to really sue them or stop them in court. China has its claws in everything.

Everything that’s based out of China should be considered an entity working for the government. Even Huawei
