That’s a good new-ish law for California! I doubt people in most other states are similarly protected.

I think disqualified.

The title literally says “twice the rate of other IT projects”.

I have literally never seen one that’s clear about this.

For popular stuff I stop seeding when I’ve uploaded 10x the download size. For other stuff I keep it uploading forever.

I think that it’s not always just about harassment, but sometimes just wanting to be left alone?

The post I was replying to literally started with the words “I don’t understand”.

Yes some Christians are hypocritical. Yet some really do walk the walk. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a monster.

Because they believe that a fetus is a human being, and that killing a human is murder. I find it sad that so many people cannot understand that many Christians really believe that.

That’s not how compound increases are measured.

We can use the compound interest formula for this.

A = P * (1 + r) ^ t

• A is the final amount.
• P is the starting amount (the principal).
• r is the rate (as a proportion, so 50% would be 0.5).
• t is the time.

To figure out the annual increase for the whole time we can plug in what we know and solve for what we don’t:

7.25 = 0.25 * (1+r) ^ 80
29 = (1+r) ^ 80 years
1.043 = 1+r
0.043 = r

So that’s about 4.3% increase per year over the 80 years.

Now we can see what we would have as minimum wage if it had continued over the past 15 years:

A = 7.25 * (1+0.043) ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.043 ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.88
A = 13.63

So that’s a $13.63 minimum wage.

I live in Holland and basically only tip a small amount (like 10%) and only at restaurants. Maybe if it rains when my food is being delivered too.

Anyway.

I’m currently on business travel and happy to tip since its money from my soulless corporate employer. It’s going to be a real struggle when I’m on vacation in the US though. 😆

Paying with card is convenient. If the amount is below an amount the card holder sets then you don’t even need a pin. It’s about the same time as each party counting money and so on.

I mean, the right wing efforts worked. Trump has objectively done way worse things than Nixon while he was President, but is very likely going to be elected again.

I’m curious why you think Python is unsuitable. Both of my kids picked up Python pretty easily.

If you ask people about policies and not self-identification, Bernie’s ideas have massive support from all Americans. It’s political discourse that has swung right, not the views of typical Americans.

100 Gbit? Is there even such a thing as a 100 Gbit link? I want to know more!

You mean rhetoric? (Sorry if I’m out of the loop and this is an intentional misspelling. I’m even more sorry if this is actually spelled correctly somehow!)

I use Consent-o-matic.

Meh. I lose power every 3 or 4 years on average. A UPS just doesn’t make sense for me. (When I lived in Virginia it was once a month on average, so for sure it made sense…)

I’m a great believer that the workers should own companies, but the same logic applies. If it is too big to fail, then no private ownership should be permitted, either capital or worker.
