But a one-man company doesn't get paid for time off, so his salary does go down for taking time off, and he does lose a % of his future salary for the same reason these vloggers do (and he can get them back just like they can).
Exactly what I was going topost. This is no different than any single-man service operation like an HVAC tech or plumber - there's no such thing as paid time off.
Tyler Blevins, AKA Ninja, makes an estimated $500,000 every month via live broadcasts of him playing the video game Fortnite on Twitch, a service for livestreaming video games that is owned by Amazon. Most of Blevins' revenue comes from Twitch subscribers or viewers who provide one-off donations (often in the hope that he will thank them by name "on air"). Blevins recently took to Twitter to complain that he didn't feel he could stop streaming. "Wanna know the struggles of streaming over other jobs?" he wrote, perhaps ill-advisedly for someone with such a stratospheric income. "I left for less than 48 hours and lost 40,000 subscribers on Twitch. I'll be back today... grinding again."
So in essence he's complaining he has to work every day to earn his high salary. What did he think, that he could just stop working and continue to get paid to do nothing?
Seems he wants everyone else to pay more for domestic labor than he does. Most people feel the same way - in theory they want to support American workers, in pratice they don't want to pay for it either. Can't have it both ways.
Understood but its not Google's fault that the device doesn't get new firmware - that's the fault of device maker. I explicitly avoid non-Google home devices for this very reason.
I read the report. They're including events like Hurricanes as part of their "sea level rising" flooding damage totals. That seems rather suspect to me since they don't indicate whether or not they subtracted out the net rise in sea levels from the total storm surge damage from hurricanes.
I started out with the Echos and now use both Minis and Echo's. Alexa currently integrates into more third-party skills, owing to its head start in the market, but Google whips it when it comes to natural language recognition, syntax and context matching, and back-end logic.
TBBT is filmed in front of a live studio audience but a laugh track is added, so it could be filmed in front of a stable of horses with minimal effect on the resulting product. And I don't see the false equivalence you're claiming - a sitcom is either funny or not on its own.
It's never happened to me personally, and it takes two hands to count the number of times they've made an error in their favor (speaking about AT&T). How odd...
And Twitter and other social media companies are happy to have anyone as a customer except those who violate their moral rules. Sorry, I don't see a difference.
As in who they decide is allowed to buy one? Either you allow all private companies to select who can use their service or you allow none of them to do so.
And yet, indeed, many people are deficient. And they've got ANOTHER doctor that cooking their skin in the sun is a pathway to melanoma and a possible miserable death.
From the NYT article:
Dr. Holick's crucial role in shaping that debate occurred in 2011. Late the previous year, the prestigious National Academy of Medicine (then known as the Institute of Medicine), a group of independent scientific experts, issued a comprehensive, 1,132-page report on vitamin D deficiency. It concluded that the vast majority of Americans get plenty of the hormone naturally, and advised doctors to test only patients at high risk of certain disorders, such as osteoporosis.
A few months later, in June 2011, Dr. Holick oversaw the publication of a report that took a starkly different view.
Can a billion dollar industry form around a vitamin the human body produces itself in ample supply. As the NYT article states, "Drug companies can sell fear, but they can't sell sunlight, so there's no promotion of the sun's health benefits."

Since knowledge workers are generally exempt employees (outside of contractors) then they're not going to be paid overtime for their emails.

but as that doesn't align with the anti-gun narrative you wish to project
It also doesn't align with common sense, but God saw it fit to leave that out of some individuals as well.
And more guns of course.

Just watch any episode of All in the Family - no laugh track, just real people laughing.
It was even hard for the laugh track to laugh. Btw, have you ever seen an episode with the laugh track removed, like this:

Must have been some of the nice, 4K multi-angle stuff.
I was referring to their pricing of their new boards, not the fact they announced them.

Now that GPU sales demand for cryptomining has all but disappeared they're looking for a honey pot to replace it with. Good luck.

Was too busy programming my data-are-base.
