How is this any different than my employer encouraging me to leave positive reviews of the company on Glassdoor? We should probably be banned as well...
Certainly one person can't save a planet, but a US administration can set reasonable policy to put us in a direction to do so over the course of several decades.
The alternative is to let corporations drive themselves towards that goal, which would likely not happen due to profit motivations unless they're forward-looking enough to understand that a shitty climate will indeed impact their sales and supply chain.
Someone's gotta take the lead at some point...
I think Google is also updating their search rank algos to reduce scores for pages that don't show much content above-the-fold shortly after page load.
"It also poses a complication for some local and state laws, like Utah's proposed HB 420, which would let police shoot down drones in emergency situations
Why would this be complicated? Police shoot down humans and get away with it all the time
The fraud prevention systems built into bank credit cards are largely to protect them, not you. More often than not a bank will refund funds that occurred from fraudulent activity (a good thing) but are overly aggressive in trying to mitigate the issue (i.e. traveling == suspected use). I've had my card shutdown *many* times while traveling. I have had to call and waste my time as well as their customer service's time to get it turned back on. I always ask to have fraud prevention turned off - which they refuse.
Chase has recently built a feature to send a text message and automated-call to confirm these kinds of things before shutting off the card - others should follow suit if they do not all ready.
This is all we need to combat unintended card cutoff, not tracking.
Only thing I would add is that the tech sector is a whole different animal than the school scene. A lot more politics are involved and you're beholden to investors and other outside forces (although i'm sure schools have their fair share of outside forces, school boards, etc). You may not have the same job security that you might have in a school. Good luck!
With your limited skillset without programming or intermediate sysadmin, but given your background in teaching and familiarity with concepts i'd say you'd be a good fit for training and/or documentation within a tech company. Training can include on-boarding new hires and getting them familiar with internal systems, or even training customers on using the software. I've worked with many people in these roles at companies i've been with. Documentation also might be a good route: writing manuals, online specs, and online training stuff. Theres lots of people doing this at the larger software shops.
I was in the same boat the summer before college. Wanted to learn more about programming but wasn't sure about it yet. I chose a course at the local community college which was affordable and no hassle to register for. It was C++ but focused on beginning programming which was probably not the best route to learn programming but it gave me a good start to everything. You might find more topical courses at community colleges if you're trying to stay away from the "general stuff".
What I like best about this article is that real names identifying the officers at fault were used. If you're going to be paid on the public dime then there should be a public record of every thing you do, searchable on the internet (note no addresses for these people should ever be given).
It's currently projected that the Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives, and the Democrats will retain control of the Senate.
So nothing has changed. Looking forward to the next four years of partisanship!

The author in the reddit thread (in a buried comment) describes it as a 100+ company with at least 40 devs. Pretty sad

think about it before you just start typing shit that comes into your head.
If only our president-elect could take your advice...
I know Spotify is a major user of an embedded Chrome app. Wonder how this will affect their desktop apps.

Lets meet him when he actually finds a cure. That should be his motivation for media attention, not premature sensationalist profiles.
And what have YOU done to contribute to society besides being an asshat?
A first post?
I can't power up my pants nor underwear. Shall I leave those at home?

My wrists hurt just watching this guy. I gotta imagine some of that rotational force is transferring into the wrist and elbow
The axe site says that the user should loosen their grip upon impact to allow the axe to rotate.

Oh really? Can you elaborate please? And are you also pursuing bioscience research in the same spirit in which you balk?

They're probably upset they were cut out of the bribe deals

I've heard a lot of 12 year olds make those exact statements. Well done
You mean, like, a carbon-based fossil that used water to survive like us? That would be pretty interesting!
