24 hours a day. Anyone telling you that you could work 24/7 building a startup or working for someone is lying to you. We are not robots. People need a break, something different to do.

does anyone know if they are forced to list complete procedures? example: hernia will cost $4200

or will they be able to list dozens of other charges that may or may not be added to the procedure?

The bottom line is the getting fired is, almost always, bad news. Sure delivery matters but if he was announcing a raise, no one would have questioned the manner. So unless he had some major financial aid for the laid off...

They hoped to do better after firing them, thus the bonus. One day you're "part of the family," the next...

Anyway, I hope the CEO feels Better

>>Is there a limit to how many years after one dies that one’s remains or grave can be disturbed?

One gazillion years for a scumbag taking the head to his basement and destroying bones.

Graves can be moved if determined by the government, of course, but with dignity. That is totally different from some jerk deciding to desecrate graves. In a lot of countries that can send the desecrater to his own grave. If the law doesn't act, family will.

>>Shocked to learn a half century later that I was speaking with the greatest archeological thief of all time.

Worse. Desecrating hundreds of graves to take remains is the one thing that cannot be explained or forgiven.

I see Roman coins or Roman era stuff for sale on some FB groups. Frankly, buying them, even if illegal (some countries have laws making anything historical found state property), is not the end of the world provided you don't destroy them.

>>I have got enough value out of Google search, Gmail and Google docs over the years to make the privacy trade-off worthwhile, personally.

You are assuming that no one else would have provided the same stuff with less intrusion, killing competitors (will come home later to roost) etc.

you can fight until the case is still in the courts. Then, it is over. That's what I meant.

>> Maybe the correct response to unconstitutional, secret warrants is to refuse to comply, maybe even refuse to respond?

Ummmm, no. Correct response is courts and then comply. Pichai would lose his job in a minute.

Maybe he hasn't been in public due to working 996 https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/15/business/jack-ma-996-chin... ?

Ma etc have bought properties and have cash /shares stashed outside China, I'm sure. But deciding to pull the trigger is tricky.

If he gets caught, he's dead. He's probably being tailed by secret services, maybe even his inner circle reports on him.

"Dear John Q, your Gbank account and cards linked to it, have been frozen due to un-Googley activity.

The appeal you are thinking of submitting has also been proactively denied.

Enjoy your vacation."

Who forced you to buy them? End of the story.

Most likely their mom's husband was "daddy" and they were raised like their half-siblings, as peasants.

In practice I'd say that a lot of priests did father children. Made of flesh and blood...
