This is absurd. Would she be able to sue Block/CashApp? She should. For millions and millions of dollars.

That is a lesson meta engineers shouldn’t have to learn this way.

I think you're wrong. I think it's embarrassing. Though I might be wrong.

The lack of genuine desire to understand each other is what is astonishing.

I don’t know where “the politician” went with that comment, but for me the more pressing conversation is whether we want a society where many are struggling and some make a billion dollars.

You benefited from society, clearly, which is not to say you didn’t work hard. But it seems entirely reasonable to me to ask you at that point to give back. We can knock plenty of people back to mere “hundred millionaire” status, they’ll be fine, and we can do a whole lot with that money.

I’d be genuinely curious about the data on this.

There are examples I can think of with a more traditional governance structure that did well: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft.

> Founded by alums of Tesla and the autonomous vehicle company Cruise, the San Francisco startup has received hundreds of millions in venture capital funding and is valued at $2 billion

Stop outsourcing the cost of your vision to the rest of society. Especially when it’s peanuts to you and meaningful to, in this case, the host of what they call an apartment and you seem to think is a test course.

Maybe it's because I'm idealistic in addition to being old, but I think a lot of this functionality was in fact added for explicit purposes.

A client sends the language header or the list of supported fonts not so that the server can "do whatever they want with this data." There is (or was) a real reason for it when we came up with these standards.

The fact that website providers, or more specifically ad-networks, have chosen to use these for other purposes is breaking that implicit agreement.

(edit) but you're probably right that i'm expecting too much.

> we find that lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension

If what you’re positing were true wouldn’t they have outperformed their peers before ascension as well

Both GitHub and Cursor’s response seems a bit lazy. Technically they may be correct in their assertion that it’s the user’s responsibility. But practically isn’t part of their product offering a safe coding environment? Invisible Unicode instruction doesn’t seem like a reasonable feature to support, it seems like a security vulnerability that should be addressed.

Interesting. So practically, they would have to hire the new applicant and then let go of the h1b worker because presumably they don’t have the budget for it?!

OP already hired H-1B in the past and that person is working for them now. OP is now in the process of doing a green card application for said employee. They can't move forward with the GC application because there are other qualified citizens/residents, but they don't have to fire the existing H1B employee.

That's how I understand OP, if that's legally true or not, I don't know.

Wouldn't you be able to deploy an app script website, which is hosted on "script.google.com" and make use of this?
