Typically overtime pay requires approval from management

Context matters. In a vacuum, the 85% rule is fine. In reality, it excludes a single company whose CEO not only holds a position in the administration making the rules, but who clearly holds enough influence that the president himself shot a Tesla ad in front of the white house.

Given such visible conflicts of interest, the administration should be bending over backwards to dispel perceptions of impropriety. The fact that they aren't, and that these coincidences keep occurring, should be telling.

They give you a unique URL associated with your account that you can use without manually logging in. It does somewhat defeat the purpose of private browsing mode depending on what you're using it for though.

The myth of the rags-to-riches, by-their-bootstraps entrepreneur is foundational to so much political philosophy in the US. It informs popular opinion on a wide range of public policy. Building a more accurate understanding of the nature of wealth and class mobility allows individuals to make more informed decisions both in their personal lives and at the ballot box.

That's the whole point. Permabanning on the first offense ignores the reality that these large-scale moderation systems (automated or human) tend to lack nuance and context-awareness, leading to false positives.

When you press the BT button in control center it shows a message saying "Disconnecting Bluetooth Devices Until Tomorrow"

The fun thing about markets is that there's one for labor too, and apparently the labor market has decided otherwise.

> The concept of "bullshit jobs" is so hilarious. Honestly it like someone watched "Office Space" and thought it was straight up revolutionary philosophy.

> Then decided to stake a huge chunk of their academic career on it.

> I assume the creators of said concept regard their jobs as of the utmost importance and regard.

The claim made by Bullshit Jobs isn't that N% of jobs are objectively useless in the grand scheme of things, it's that N% of people feel that their jobs are useless. Its n analysis of the alienation of workers from their work.

There are decades of well defined laws (and case law) regulating discrimination in hiring, housing, commerce, etc. Why should software be treated any differently?
