as a salaried worker I refuse to participate in flex PTO, it's not how the labor laws are written. I work for a significant part of the day and have a legitimate reason to stop, I do not submit any leave requests.

My company recently granted an extra 40 hours of COVID PTO to use for flex, which is nice, but they could just stop trying to work around labor laws.

Your observation is only true in the ephemeral surface. there is no moral equivalence. there is no legal equivalence. What is your purpose in this deflection?

exceptional claims require exceptional evidence, Bloomberg has not done so.

The article raises a fair number of solid criticisms regarding BCP to eliminate the described vulnerability.

Those pages are filthy cesspits of depravity, "The true right rejects egalitarianism root and branch."

Fuck these people

Rome of that age was very self aware of the histories of the many city states that had risen and fallen before them, as I think the very story describes. The personal choices made by leaders of those many prior city-empires were the very reasons for each to fail on the global stage. The Aeneid was the zeitgeist of Roman manifest destiny under the imperial banner.

Disrupting the Clovis paradigm is definitely upending in a field where new ideas take root by retiring the past generation of professors.

Hopkins has a gastroneuro department. Abdominal Migraine.

I am to understand that in all of her Majesties kingdoms they have regulations against making things of cardboard such that the front does not fall off.

This is an under appreciated/represented sentiment. I wholly agree.

Thank you for the vocabulary.

try being a person of color in a coffee shop or hotel lobby. Maybe you heard about some difficulties for a pair of young men had in a Philadelphia Starbucks?

Thank you for the realism without any snark.

'layed off' means different things in the US versus Europe.

In the US, an employer may 'lay off' as much staff as they want and then hire new people into those positions.

In France, for example, a 'lay off' must close the position and not hire a new body into that role for 12-24 months.

This may be difficult to prove, but the laws exist.

America is known for practicing social darwinism as though it were a positive thing.

you have found a trifecta of reasoning. What a brilliant idea!

My first job in the '80s was doing RFI/RFP shotgunning for a mom & pop (my mom & pop) defense consulting firm out of the GSA register. We would essentially cold-respond to everything in our domain. From that experience I learned that there were some genuine requests with no fix in.

I visited Stockholm this summer, it was 100% card acceptance, and 25% cash acceptance.

I used to work for Cogent Communications, this was common practice in customer service. Comstat scores are 100% gamed.

The Global Director of customer service has his managers change ticket parameters for two weeks around ticket closure so that only 'happy' customers get review emails.

Wow, I did this for all of the listed reasons here. I work with the left hand, game with the right.

I still deal with it in telecom. No one wants to abandon in-place hardware infrastructure that the business community still supports.

I need the RAM. Network modeling, network simulation, dev installations of SDN platforms. This is a developer and programmer forum, right?

USB-C versus magsafe is indeed a step backwards.

A single port on a mobile device for power OR audio? That port is NOT USB-C?

Trying to sell the market a set of customizable function bar replacement versus a touch screen?

Op is replying to anecdotes with anecdotes.

I have a collection of war-time and after '45-'53 Time magazines. The sheer palpable weight of the government minders on the writers is clearly evident. The magazine has always been 'political'.

seems like a fairly obvious ops campaign by some interested group. I would think that many state organizations would want long term reputable editors to craft their messages.

If you create a dielectric barrier, the required charge to overcome it can have more effective power than the constant flow that would otherwise occur at a low resistance.

your statements are unsupported. It is my observation that you are stating spirit of law to your understanding, but not what occurs in law or practice.

Hello, there are a great many companies that rent mare metal servers, own their own gear in a colo, or even have DIA to their own infrastructure site.

I think you paint the whole world with the bleeding edge brush. Many fortune 500 companies are a decade behind the technology stacks described in the article and in this discussion.
