The use of gmail.com should have been a dead giveaway.

I think they still need a vote to accept that union as their collective bargaining representative. That does not appear to have happened yet. And that's where the 70% have their say.

Nearly as much as a union official, I imagine.

Why stop at workers when pursuing public funds?

"Where are you going with that EBT card, sir?"

... referring to them as gig workers. They are employees, with all of the concomitant benefits and payroll deductions. And soon, they will be subject to union fees, and the other perks of representation. Including calls for daily workers at the union hall. You thought it was tough, having to wait for Mr. Friendly to pick you out for a crew. Now it will be a faceless app on your phone.

Didn't read the details of the appeal. But it's possible that SBF's counsel is appealing the rejection handed to them by the 2nd Circuit Court. Which would make this USSC business. Appealing is the defence counsel's right. And duty to their client, if they don't want to start an "ineffective counsel" case.

If the 2nd Circuit Court did their job correctly, the USSC may refuse his appeal. I have mixed feelings about this. If the Supreme Court could take the case but then slap an extra 10 years on SBFs sentence for wasting their time (frivolous filing) I'd be in favor of it.

Don't feel too bad. Einstein did the same thing with his "cosmological constant". Trying to hang onto an outdated idea that the universe was eternal and static. Lemaitre and Hubble demonstrated that he was wrong. And he accepted that.

... to debate such subjects. But given that issues involving the Hubble Tension have yet to be resolved and Hubble expansion is at the heart of the accelerating/not accelerating universe, I'd say: Fix that before running off to explain obervations that might not even be valid.

Depth of field =/= field of view.

They are related by the optics' parameters, but two different effects.

Sort of like handing a chimpanzee a loaded gun.

I've got decades of head start on that. My thumbprint on every lens.

The heavyweight chess champion.

Which people? It's owners? The government? Some evil genius living in an extinct volcano?

Not really. Depth of field depends on f-stop, not aperture or sensor size. Field of view is affected by these other factors, as is magnification.

Me neither. I'd like one like this. But nobody seems to carry them. Baseball caps as well. I can't find one of those cool looking ones with the bill in the back.
