Hell, I make $100k/yr as an inventory planner in the US and $40/hr in Canada at a job that won't follow me home at night sounds pretty attractive. Also apprentice tool&die leads to being a journeyman and that is another big pay bump.

Since iPhones are in fact more restrictive with the information apps can pull in did these folks actually check what location the phone was passing to the app?

Not DoorDash's fault if your phone keeps telling them your location is always at your state's geographic center.

Not to agree too much with the parent comment but since a lot of retirees with money abruptly move to Arizona or Florida, severing local social connections built over decades, changing vector to somewhere cheaper like Oklahoma or Alabama doesn't seem too different.

Also there was a licensed Lego set in 2019: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=21317-1&name=Steamboat%20Willie&category=%5BLEGO%20Ideas%20&#T=I

Since the cable companies paste their ads over those in the broadcasters stream it is exclusively the cable companies at fault here. If they just wanted to rebroadcast the over-the-air feed unchanged they could get the rights for pennies or less. But they want to double dip so screw them.

Only to the extent that Trumplicans have become ideologically opposed to the environment, society and free government.

Nope, the customary pound is a unit of force, defined as one slug-foot per second-squared. There is a bastard pound-mass unit that is the mirror image of the kilogram-force but it is not commonly used. Note: A slug is quite heavy, weighing about 32.2lb in normal Earth gravity. Don't drop one on your toes.

Mazda has something very similar, quite a decent interface once you adapt. But utterly reviled by every car magazine I have ever seen.

Of course I pretty much trash-heaped the car magazines as a group when one gave their annual award to a rig with the biggest point in its favor being that it had the biggest touch screen of the contenders. Rather than the one that did the best job of being a car.

YMMV.

I expect that the dollar value of crypto fraud is going to decrease exponentially in 2022, hopefully dropping so much someone can steal all of Bitcoin and not meet the threshold for a jury trial.

Actually for many stores the smaller sizes of milk have the most expiry trouble, and customer demand skews heavily towards the gallon jugs. When I was ordering milk for a store several years back the pint reduced fat milk might do 40-50 units per week, the RF gallons did 2100-2400.

Yes, going on a glorious romp is great fun for the person doing the romping. Somewhat less so for those being romped upon. Nobody is going to sign up for that on purpose. Unless they are getting paid.

So either adopt the college football model of buying some easy wins, play against AI you know you can beat (that is what I do), or suck it up and play fair.

Really, I mean it. Ban it all and burn the data brokers to the ground at the same time. Pretty sure we would end up with a better internet.

Heck, I dropped CBS streaming because the upcharge-ad-free tier had un-skippable promos for their other shows. Actual ads are a hard no in a pay service.

Of course there are no personally identifying marks on the ballot itself, what part of 'secret ballot' were you unsure on?

There is however a globally unique ID on the return envelope you have to use to submit that secret ballot that can be verified and recorded before they pass it to the folks actually responsible for opening the thing. It is part of how they can tell you your ballot is in the mail and that it has been received back and the signature accepted. Copied or faked an ID on the envelope? Congrats, you just sent evidence of criminality to the government via the system best able to track it back to who sent it.

Vaccine cards on the other hand were never intended to be very secure, a clear case of underestimating the amount of crazy in the world. At the level of most ordinary checks flashing a warranty registration card marked up in crayon would probably pass. It is really only organizations that have existing trust or stupidity issues that actually check the cards seriously; for the rest of us we check two boxes and click a button on the same employer website that already has all of our payroll and benefits info and we're good.

There is vast and rather perilous gulf between 'doesn't need to be in office very often' and 'can be done by a body shop in India.' I suspect that not making that distinction is likely to soon be a major cause of business failures.

As an anecdote, my job could be done from anywhere with an internet connection provided the person doing it kept the same hours I work. Given the piece of the business I handle starts and ends early it would actually be more natural for someone two time zones East of our home office to work remote than it is for me. But someone two time zones East of here probably would not have come up through the company, nor speak our particular dialect of this business, and would have to be very deliberately trained in and constantly think about all of the little things I automatically know because I live here. I know this is not easy because a small part of my job involves supporting a small piece of the business on the other coast where all of those things are just a little bit different. Multiply enough of those differences together and the potential error gets expensive fast.

As others have pointed out, most of the jobs that can be off-shored have been already. But needing someone on-shore does not directly equate to needing them in-office.
