Agreed, but it's pretty clear this was a legacy app that for reasons unknown, wasn't worth a rewrite.

Wouldn't this be a transformation or an independent work of sorts? If I drew a sketch of the same bust, wouldn't I have the copyright to my sketch?
I don't see why the 3d scan wouldn't be considered similar.

If I don't do business in Turkey, and I pay for the clicks, I should easily be able to exclude Turkey (without having to write a blog post and consult an inside source that most could never reach)

There was an HN article recently linked that talked about one of those religious based charities. They hired the women on as house cleaners, paid minimum wage, deducted room and board. The poor matriarch of the program had to "deal" with the profits from the cheap labor and fund raising.
One could make the same argent about mill or mining work. Maybe even the military? I don't think the adult entertainment industry averages 22 suicides a day.
But those professions are OK because they're reputable?

Two of my last 3 positions have been a recruiter reaching out to me via LinkedIn.
75% of my attempts to find my own via job applications result in no response (your stats are better than mine), with zero feedback at one point or another (ghosting).
If you're not using recruiters, you should be. The discussion you get let's you sell yourself a little better than you can with a paper application only, and they often have additional info you won't find in the job descriptions

When you move to a new country with the intent to reside and don't follow the law in regards to entry, you're an illegal immigrant.
It doesn't matter that you were allowed in legally; per the law he was expected to depart and he did not.

Does that still apply even if they're not a Canadian citizen, and not in Canada legally?
I'd think there would be a point where they might say "not my problem, not getting involved"

Exactly. The article doesn't clarify whether the prints matched multiple people, or the man had given false names and info to multiple countries/systems which might never have been cross-referenced before
One could give false info to Border Patrol and county or state police here in the US and not be caught in certain circumstances. Especially if we're talking about encounters going back a few years or more.
Needs more info

I'm not sure if I think personalization would fix it. When I was on Facebook, I received one or two MLM offers. If Reddit is to be believed, this is actually a prevalent practice.
You'd go from anonymous reviews to seeing which of your "friends" are more interested in a shitty side hustle (e.g. there would still be.the kind of gaming noted in the article)

These appear to be different than "smart TVs" which offer Roku built-in as an optional app
Instead of spending all this time writing an article and on.the phone, they should have returned it and got another brand of TV

I didn't get a discount on my stadia preorder, purchased in July. Of course, it hasn't shipped yet either and the originals release/delivery date was supposed to be the 19th iirc.

2.3M trips / 7300 users / 30 days is more than 10 trips per day.
When I took the bus in DC, each trip was 45-75 minutes long (12 mile route, during peak traffic) not counting wait times. Zero transfers.
Who has time for 10 bus trips, plus wait times, per day?

That's a good analogy, I think of it as more of a key. It will open doors that aren't otherwise available.
Things that would likely require legal review and Google has the budget to test the waters of at this point.
The last clause in the link below pertains to this scenario, I think, which may bite Google. Or it may not because it all depends on case law and what union leadership is willing to push back on (which could take years to sort out via legal proceedings)
Really, at the end of the day all Google has to risk via this kind of behavior is some lawyer time, setting precedent, and potentially being required to post a notice if they end up losing.

> Working time is for work, so your employer may maintain and enforce non-discriminatory rules limiting solicitation and distribution, except that your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about or soliciting for a union during non-work time, such as before or after work or during break times; or from distributing union literature during non-work time, in non-work areas, such as parking lots or break rooms. Also, restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.
