As corporations continue to want to have rights like individuals, they should be held to the same standard as individuals. Had a half a dozen people delayed returning $600M that was effectively taken fraudulently, would they be seeing jail time, or just a 1% fine?

Let us ponder, for just a moment, which of these two Microsoft is contributing to with their stance.

Perhaps they should lean towards being part of the solution, instead of perpetuating the problem? Perhaps they can split hairs and say that something is 'unconfirmed' or 'unsubstantiated.' This would allow the reader to decide, which is, after all, what those who are posting such things want.

What I think this short article misses are a lot of the questions that are being asked here.

The 4-day work week isn't 4 x 10, it's more like 4 x 9. The pay is the same as 40 hours.

It's not a "everyone is out of the office on Friday" schedule. Some people are out on Friday (lucky dogs), and some on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. You still have, to the customer perspective, people in the office every day of the week.

Further research also reveals that this 4-day work week isn't for all employees, just most. So, if you need to work 5 days a week, you apparently can.

My view on it, is that this could also lend itself to making the 4-day office work week, and 1-day working from home; for those who are "guilty" about not being in the office that 5th day.

It would sure be nice if they had some focus on expansion on the markets they're already in. There are ample areas in their existing markets they don't reach, and it feels as if they don't care to reach.

The question I have is this: If Russia does manage to put up a space station of their own; should the rest of the space community have plans to be able to rescue people from said station, if there is a failure, and vice versa? Currently everything is self-rescue, as a community. But if there is a split, do we revert to the laws of the sea and have to respond to maydays?

I'm curious that if, in fact, a company gets an EDR, why can't they simply call the police department's main line, ask to speak with the originator of the EDR to confirm? This would require bad actors not only to compromise the email system, but also the Phone System and intercept/answer all calls to the main number. It's not fool proof, but it's extra work for the bad guys.

People are always both the strongest and weakest link in the security chain. Making the extra call to verify would likely provide a fig leaf of protection for a company receiving an EDR.

This may be a stupid question, but why is there a 'cap' at all? Wouldn't a more newsworthy story be the raising of the 'minimum' salary?

I wonder if, at some point, Apple (or Google), will just decide to close the App Store and tell you to get web-apps? While they may lose a source of revenue, they also lose a major headache. At some point, as business owners will tell you, there isn't enough profit to be made from business, to stay in business.

Per Neil Young's own statement, on which the article was written and partially quoted, https://neilyoungarchives.com/... :

The headline misleads, in that it was not Spotify who engaged in the removing, but in fact, was Young's record label Warner Brother Reprise. Maybe that's NPR's fault for misleading with their partial quote and clickbait headline. We should strive to be more factual and less seeking to get more clicks.

26 loans seems like a relatively low number. That's only 52 weeks (if you loaned it out 26 times at 2 weeks each). I may be an 'older' generation, but I sure thought books lasted much longer. Granted, maybe we just treated them better, and folks outside my region were more rough on their library books in general?

I'm not opposed to some limitations on eBooks/Audio books, I just think that's a low number of loans. They should go with the 2 years, and turn it into a subscription type model. Every 2 years, you pay another $50 for the title. That seems less onerous in my mind.

This really feels like a first world problem. Seriously? I'm certain Gold Parachutes will deploy to save them on their way down. :-/

So, now that DAO has $40M in crypto... are they going to 'refund' it to those who contributed, or just look for something else to do with it? Or perhaps something else more nefarious? This seems like an excellent opportunity to abscond with some currencies.

You have got to be kidding me.

I am so embarrassed for my state. Such a wasteful use of taxpayer dollars.

The average Japanese factory worker makes just under $13/hour, and aren't unionized. I suspect for labor cost alone, it would cost at least twice that to cover labor in the US.

I suppose if you were doing a beefy VDI implementation, or a Citrix gateway that has a public face.. I've simply never seen anyone use a Chromebook to access something like that. I'm not saying it can't be done, I've simply never seen it, or heard of anyone deploying it that way.

I would think if you're accessing a more powerful desktop, you've got to be securing your endpoints and the connection/VPN between them. While internet connections are pretty widespread, they're not yet available everywhere; so it would render a Chromebook not worth as much while unable to connect to that VDI/Citrix/Powerful Desktop, wouldn't it?
