Except in this case, the zipper was broken when you got it, you unzip it ignoring the broken teeth, zip it back up ignoring the broken teeth, and everyone assumes you're protecting them against this so they don't notice that it's gotten a bit drafty.
Do they pay overtime to the people who fill cartons and jugs for sale to individuals, since those people would be packing for distribution, and therefore not exempt from overtime per "their interpretation"?
It was a joke, but only barely. As for the "game" itself, you buy upgrades to make cookies for you and eventually there isn't much point in clicking anymore.
slack changes the tab title and icon when an event happens, like a new message. Gmail updates the title to show how many messages you have. These are reasonable use cases
And don't forget my epic cookie clicker run, which I've left in some background tab somewhere for well over a year now!
This is a key piece of knowledge that companies often overlook. I once asked a CEO over a round of golf whether or not he knew water was wet and after reviewing his reports and whitepapers he acknowledged that he really had no idea.
That was when I decided to leverage my synergies in the dashboard paradigm to develop our Wetnss Information-as-a-Service product. Utilizing our proprietary moist dashboard technology, the C-suite can be kept up-to-date in the latest advances in the critical business infotech field of how wet water is. We're looking for investors willing to get in on the first wave of this groundbreaking new service. Act fast, we're planning to hit the ground running with a big IPO next year!
The solution would be to have every single freeway and street operate at 75 MPH. This includes your driveway. The first person who steps on their brakes is automatically shot by patrolling drones, which then attach to the car and fly it off to the junkyard to be crushed. Stoplights and stopsigns will be removed.
The real problem is that the freeways are designed to be "hurry up and wait" systems. Designers bring in thousands and thousands of cars on 3 lanes at 60 MPH, then ask them all to take a single lane exit at 45MPH, then they scratch their heads and wonder why things go to shit.
Bonus points if they put a stoplight 100 feet from the end of the exit ramp that is red more than 50% of the time.
You'd think he'd have SOME reservations about continuing to expand the powers of our three-letter-agencies after they use them to undermine his own cabinet members, but whatever floats his boat, I guess.
That was my very first job interview out of college. They sat me down with emacs and a screen recorder and asked me to write, compile and test several basic programs while they were talking to the next prospect. Very relaxed process, I liked it, but they decided I wasn't a good fit for the job .
My next job interview was with a company that asked me to implement a binary tree class. There was no whiteboard, no computer, no paper. I had to recite to them verbally the class with methods for adding, removing and searching. All I could think of is how fucked this was.
The job I ended up with went the regular whiteboard route and asked some stuff that was basically specified implementation problems like fizzbuzz rather than quizzes over how lempel-ziv or red-black trees work.
Honestly, I'm not convinced, especially not until Brexit is complete and all those damn funny-sounding furriners from the rest of the Union can be kept out of the country.
I DO think that Uber ought to assess language proficiency themselves, then hook French-speaking riders up with French-speaking drivers and so on.
So apparently an ISP being able to tell people up front what their fees and charges will be is a
burdensome requirements [...] that impose serious and unnecessary costs
I guess this explains why big ISPs like Comcast and such manage to fuck up billing people on a regular basis. It's just too goddamn hard for companies to know what they charge for their services.
Dunno where you work, but around these parts all the part time jobs are scheduled by the week, and half of them will fire you if you can't show up in 30 minutes when they call you in for the lunch rush or inventory night. Oh, you're at your other job? Oh your other job wants you from 11-2PM next week too? Tough shit, but hey, you only lose half your income.
The worst part of the whole thing is that the ads following me around are more like. "I see you just bought some pillowcases, here's some more pillowcases you might be interested in." Except that's not really capturing the absurdity of the Amazon ads, since they follow me around AFTER I buy the thing, so it's more like you go back to Bed Bath & Beyond and the sales associate walks up and says "Oh, you bought these pillowcases last time you were here. Would you like to buy more pillowcases?"

Why should a person starting a new business hire people rather than using automation?
He's a temporarily embarrassed king.

ALSA has supported software mixing for over a decade.
There's an easy way to resolve this:

"Hiro" didn't poll well with our test audiences so we're running with "Steve"

Before you piss people off, you should remember that they can get paid $500 for telling the cops you have kiddy porn.

Good news! The automated cars will all drive with exactly identical assholishness, so you don't have to pay for it!

Personally, I think the phenomenon is closer to https://xkcd.com/902/ myself.

Dunno how Europeans do it, but here in the US they will almost certainly be subject to property tax once human income tax dries up, if not sooner.
Hopefully Seamonkey won't go hurtling down the same path with Firefox (they're built on FF49 right now).
