I learned about Maslow in business school, and have come across the Hierarchy many many times since then, and I e never heard the term ‘Maslow’s Pyramid’.

Is this a regional thing, or common in a specific discipline?

A nameless phone number can be relayed verbally, and is easily memorized. Neither of those things is really true for a SHA256 hash.

They can legally reinstate the pages with a simple counter-claim / attestation though, but they don’t seem to have implemented that feature of the DMCA yet.

You're confusing salt with sodium - this enhances sodium ions, so it affects salt as well as MSG, which is tied to umami.

Umami != salty.

> As a result then it's surely inherently more (likely to be) balanced/matching up with reality?

I see almost nothing on TV that matches up with the actual daily life in America, so no - seeing more US TV doesn't help in that respect.

Your experience is not the norm, nor is it one I would recommend in most cases. You should find an agent you trust and can work with well to represent you, and they should be the only agent you ever have to speak to.

Dual representation can work out ok in some scenarios, but the hyper-inflated and super competitive market we're in right now isn't one of them.

The norm in Canada is 30 year term, with a variable rate. It's the second part that can really get you...

If this is done by the CA legislature, it likely will be written as to not apply to most of us - will probably affect only hourly workers, and be written in a way that actually screws them over (eg, the company must give $X overtime pay and $X benefits at 32 hours, meaning even McJob will be limited to 31 hours from now on).

So yeah, I'd imagine pessimism is the reason HN seems to not care about this bill.

It was completely implausible - the chip that was identified could not possibly carry enough processing ability to do anything useful as far as espionage goes, had no connectivity to networking, and there was never any evidence of communication from these devices to anything suspicious or unknown.

Any crunching of what numbers? You and I have no idea how many Chinese people have been infected or died of COVID.

As recently as earlier this week the Chinese Gov’t was claiming 130k infections in Shanghai with zero deaths. Are those the numbers you’re trusting, or were you counting the pyres visible on satellite photos from areas that had ‘no COVID’ according to the CCP?
