Couldn't the OS just opt out of social media? I wouldn't mind promising that I won't engage in social media online.

The super anachronistic output makes this really difficult. One of the examples was the battle in the war of the roses but all the imagery suggests over a hundred years later.

Maybe I am missing a point, but both Amazon and Microsoft have devices that they manufacture and distribute. While they may not be profitable at the price they are sold they provide value to customers that isn't conjured from air. Additionally they also sell access to data services, while the data may not by physical, the data centers are physical objects that are designed and built by both AWS and Microsoft.

Is there any information as to what they violated that is resulting in the fine? This article is particularly sparse on details.

Seems to just be Seattle tax, I had to get a water line replaced in my home and the quotes were $2-7k higher than I've seen suggested in other regions. Tradework here is inflated likely by the salaries of tech workers in the city.

Oof that hits a sore spot. I was the 2016 Winner of the Ugliest Shirts Award at one of the first technology companies I worked at. Being singled out in front of all your peers for poor fashion sense and then the ensuing obligatory laugh ruined my opinion of that company's leadership. I would strongly encourage anyone in a professional environment (especially those in leadership roles) to keep comments on appearance to yourself.

At least anecdotally this push was the final push I needed to stop using reddit. I went from probably browsing for a few hours a day to maybe once or twice a month when a friend links me a post.

This was my experience in schooling two decades ago. I had the same teacher for Grades 1, 4 and 7. This teacher and I did not work well together and I noticeably got worse grades in grades 4 and 7 than I had in the surrounding years.

I am sure the teacher was sick of me by the third year as well.

Delivery is profitable for dominos. But the real money, well that is in garlic bread.
