Article wants me to sign up to read it, so I DNRTFA.

But are they including voluntary job switches with involuntary job switches?

Someone who has bills coming in and lost their job may have lower standards for pay than someone who already has a job.

If both groups are included together, that skews the numbers. It may be that for voluntary job switchers, do see a bigger boost in pay than staying.

I'll also note that this is a business news publication, and businesses are trying to force RTO. So there may be bias in how this news is being reported.

Your explanation is perfectly taut.

As someone who used to be conservative (I considered myself an "independent conservative" back then), I became apolitical (mostly due to dealing with severe health issues), up until 2020 when I started getting back into politics, Trump scared me. I was nervous in 2016, I warned my family about him but they wouldn't listen to me, they would say "Well we'll look into that" but they never did. 2021 and the insurrection were the nail in the coffin for me, family members have supported him completely without budging on any issue. I've been shocked at the reelection, I've practically endlessly watched Trump speak and he seems to be completely incapable of telling the truth, or even doing/saying the right thing. I have family members who are sold on him, they lap it up.

I had a discussion with them about the insurrection after it happened, and one of them said that it was actually Antifa posing as Trump supporters to make Republicans look bad, to make it look like Trump wanted to overturn the election but in reality it was Democrats wearing Maga hats trying to take over the world (!), yet the more I asked, they kept doing mental gymnastics to justify it, or to pass the blame onto the other side. An example is that they said there would be hyperinflation under Biden, and also that Biden is a communist who wants to be a dictator, and has establishment figures pulling the strings to control him. One line that struck me, was when they said "What about the Murder of Ashlee Babbit?', it was the way it was said and the wording that sounded way too cult-like to me, as if they were being programmed to have very specific and automatic responses. They expressed things that showed that they believed that the whole world basically revolved around republicans and democrats, how George Soros was trying to dominate everything and destroy the world, etc. You've heard it all, they've been mentally programmed to not only regurgitate it, but believe it wholeheartedly.

This election terrified me, but I'm interested (in not really a good way) to see what happens.

It is, back in the 90's there were a lot of competing architectures, some very good, but that all basically died out at the hands of Intel and market consolidation around x86; I've seen lots of good technology just die off. If MIPS had taken off, Windows might've been primarily for that platform due to the fact that Microsoft developed a lot of NT on the Jazz architecture (custom-built MIPS systems with ARC firmware), some of that can still be seen in SGI systems (which use ARCS firmware, a modified ARC, and MIPS cpus). I've noticed there's a lot more competition nowadays with CPUs than there were even 10 years ago, mostly due to how ARM is basically showing how bad x86 really is. Windows (NT) also used to be available for the Alpha architecture, but support for that was pulled before Windows 2000 went RTM, there was even a binary translator available for NT4/Alpha similar to Apple's Rosetta called FX!32.

As the main developer of a relatively large 3D simulator project in C++ (in development for over 20 years), I've encountered some users who have Windows ARM systems that they wanted it to run on. Since I already had Mac universal binaries for it, porting to ARM/Windows and providing builds for it wasn't hard at all, I basically did it in case the industry moves in that direction. Builds are done on a VM on a Mac system. I don't like Windows anymore (I think it's a huge mess, it's very bloated and slow compared to competing platforms, WIndows 11 seems to be more about ads and marketing of Microsoft stuff), but in situations like this you need to use it and build for it, since most users use it. X86 translation appears to work pretty well in it, but I always want the sim binaries to be architecture-native. I mainly now develop the C++ code on a MacBook Pro with an ARM CPU, was previously mainly using Debian Linux for development, but the Mac system is extremely fast and has relatively low power usage, I've badly wanted to leave the x86 architecture since I've considered it to be a legacy one for a long time now (I used to use SPARC and MIPS systems quite a bit, a long time ago). I'd probably prefer RISC-V if it was gaining a lot of traction in modern systems, since I'd rather have an open architecture.

My simulator is at https://www.skyscrapersim.net/ if you're interested.

It's trash...if its gonna leak...it already has.

Hence why modern landfills have what is called a "liner" at the bottom.

More specifically, a modern landfill has a compacted clay layer at the bottom, then an impermeable membrane on top of that, and a leachate collection system. Plus groundwater monitoring wells.

And it can be that as trash is deposited, additional layers of soil coverings and impermeable membranes can be added.

Not to mention other systems that may be found in modern landfills, like methane gas collection systems.

So, once he digs, who gets to pay to repair all of that and how is that funding guaranteed?

I'm having a hard time seeing the parents' side.

If a student is doing simple math homework and uses a calculator, that's cheating.

So why should it change if a student is doing an essay and asks an AI to write it?

In both cases, the educational goal isn't to find a tool to do the work, but for the student to understand the concepts being taught.

Now the parents' argument that this may negatively impact their child's future also seems pretty flawed to me. The same could be said for a student that buys a paper off the internet from a cheating website, is caught, and receives a failing grade. But few people would say that the cheating student was unfairly punished.

I used to be a serious Winamp user in the late 90's/early 2000's. In the mid-to-late 2000's I started using the Winamp clone Audacious since it ran on Linux. I now use it on both Linux and Mac (I think I used to run it on Solaris/sparc too back in the day), for most of my music listening, and have barely used Winamp for over a decade, mostly because I abandoned Windows. I think things would be a lot better if development was poured into something like Audacious instead of trying to revive a proprietary app from the dead (with severely restrictive and questionable source code). I downloaded their git repo when it was online too.

What is the cost to adopt to a warmer climate?

Coastal cities will require either abandonment of infrastructure due to rising sea levels, or expensive mitigation. In practice, probably both will happen.

We'll see farming being no able to be profitably done in many areas, and will require new farms to be developed in areas where the climate is now more adaptable. That is going to be costly and disruptive as well.

We'll see massive migrations of people, both internally and internationally, as some areas decline and other areas grow due to the climate changes. That is going to be disruptive and costly.

And there's political concerns, as these changes will result in some countries losing power, and others gaining power, changing the balance between them.

Not to mention concerns at the personal level - even if your current location is going to survive climate change, there will be changes to heating and cooling requirements, and disruptive events like floods, extreme weather, fire and landslide danger may change for you. What happens when your flat land becomes more prone to flood due to weather changes, or your hilly land becomes more prone to landslides due to vegetation changes?

I do agree adaptation is going to have to be part of the solution - there's too much climate change already locked in. But we better realize that there's going to be a pretty big cost to most of us.

You can use fail2ban to block rude web scrapers. Put a hidden link into your web pages that people would not see, but bots would. Include that link in robots.txt. When anyone hits that link, fail2ban will automatically block them based on the rule you implement.

Sometimes I like to read the comments in the Slashvertisements. Otherwise I'd not learn of their competitors and things I might actually want, like the ATG keyboards mentioned elsewhere in the comments here.

MOND is a class of hypotheses.

To be fair, something similar can be said for dark matter - *what* dark matter is has many explanations.

And in favor of the dark matter theory, some of the explanations for what dark matter is could be very plausible - some have theorized that at least part of what is termed "dark matter" could be objects such as black holes and brown dwarfs that we aren't accurately measuring. Let's just call this the "boring dark matter" for the sake of discussion.

I actually favor "boring dark matter" to some degree. While I don't think it can explain the degree of discrepancy we observer, it could be a large enough factor to cause other theories not to fit - this would include other dark matter theories as well as modified gravity theories.

I'm going to offer you a choice - you get to kill one terrorist, but at the same time, you will also kill a young child.

Would you take that deal?

Okay, perhaps instead of a young child, how an older child? Or even an innocent adult?

Again, same deal, for one terrorist, you also kill one innocent.

Would you gladly take the deal? Or would you reject it? Perhaps somewhere in-between - you may accept that the life of the innocent is a regrettable but necessary sacrifice to take the life of a terrorist.

Or perhaps you reject this idea as absurd - questioning the premise as contrived.

After all, it sounds contrived. But as a general rule, the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in most wars is greater than one civilian for every combatant killed. A one-to-one ratio is more favorable than most wars.

So regardless of what your choice would be, it is wise to feel to uncomfortable.
