It's cheaper than layoffs?

I was thrilled to learn about this, too. I wasn't aware of it even as a long-time Debian user.

However, trying the specific example that was listed in the article, I installed extrepo and enabled the mozilla repo. Unfortunately, firefox is not installable on trixie in it's current form because it depends on libasound2 and the trixie package is called libasound2t64. : (

As an outsider, the thing I've noticed is that it appears the only way to nearly guarantee tenure is to bring in money. The author mentions applying for grants, but does not mention getting any.

Not to say it's fair or anything, but it seems like this is the way it is at least at some institutions.

This sounds like a recipe for getting people to only speak after careful curation.

They shouldn't be allowed to settle without admission of wrongdoing. This should affect them getting future contracts, but now it won't.

It seems to make sense. One is harmful to the game experience and the other is harmful to people.

The fees vary wildly, from reasonable to outrageous. Some cleaning fees I've seen are as much as $500. At the time I was looking, these were not shown by Airbnb until checkout. It was an awful experience.

The dream of a "car that just drives itself" works for everyone. It serves both goals of letting people such as yourself take your car (optionally paying attention), while also making sure that car doesn't run over pedestrians, cyclists, and the like.

Your geographic region doesn't really matter.

It's awful. I absolutely hate it. First click: show chat. Second click: record meeting.

I've left negative reviews and they tend to get removed.

I was once even warned by Amazon that my account could be deactivated for violation of the ToS after posting a review that pointed out all of the other fake reviews on a particular product. Apparently the ToS allow fake reviews and disallow shining a light on it.

Mine too. I took a pair in that had symptoms exactly as described in the service program description. Both the left and right earbud failed in their test machine, but Apple said my Airpods did not qualify because they were not part of the program (manufactured a few months after the end date).

I suspect the issues weren't actually resolved by the date they claim.

Also, more annoyingly, they offered replacement refurbished left and right pods for $89 each. I can go to Costco and buy a new pair with a new charging case for only $2 more.

Moral of the story: Airpods are unreliable, if you buy them then also buy the extended warranty from Apple.

If you zoom into it on Google maps, it's labeled as "NSA Building".

This is cool, but my preference for a microwave is one that only has 2 buttons: +30sec and clear/off.

That's it. Just press 30 seconds and it turns on for 30 seconds. Want two minutes? Press it 4 times. Want it to stop? Press clear.
