If the legislators are smart, they'll make the calculation of base salary depend on salary over the past few years. And making employees sign something to retroactively reduce their base salary could be made illegal for the purpose of the law.
Legislators (or at least their staff) aren't stupid. That's how they get hired into the private sector. They either keep writing laws that are increasingly onerous or business buys them out.
That run in some sort of 'restricted' space? Fine. But what about all the other components of a Linux distro that aren't apps, can't run in a restricted space and will never be ported to the Snap model?
I think apt, yum and their kin will be around for a long time. Snap sounds like an environment written for people like the ones that thought Microsoft Windows Metro apps would be all that users would need.
And for a while, when you Googled 9/11, you got page after page explaining how it was an inside job, orchestrated by the Jews. Society isn't necessarily racist. Certain groups with an axe to grind and/or an agenda have figured out how to game Google.
But there is no intent to steal/defraud. I was just screwing around with my stored value card to see if it was theoretically possible. Then the cop took it without my permission and stuffed it in the PD bank account.
Is there any way to load a pre-paid card with a huge negative balance? Such that when somebody moves the negative quantity to their account, it actually cleans them out?
Seriously, no. The minimum score for department qualification will get a civilian asked to leave the range.
Our local county range is 'commandeered' by the local cops, sheriff, CBP, etc. occasionally for training. It's funnier than shit to bring up the range web cams and watch these guys try to hit targets. Some of the scruffy looking cops (probably undercover) look like they actually learned to shoot by watching hip-hop movies. Their form is pretty bad.
If whet they mean by app/website is one for a nearby business. If that is in fact what I'm searching for. If I'm looking for an auto repair shop, for example, a geographically sorted list would be of some value. If I'm looking online to order something, then not so much. In fact, I might be better off ordering from a business located in a less expensive neighborhood or country.
A host is a host from coast to coast
But no one will talk to a host that's close
Unless of course the host that's close is busy, hung, or dead.
Terrorism, drugs, pornography and other criminal activities were not enough to justify this. But threaten the bottom line of big business and suddenly Something Must Be Done.
Yes, but back in those days, one would dial directly into a BBS or server to download their apps. Those patents may have expired. But all one needs to do is to append the phrase "using the Internet" and refile.
So, if the whole 'contribution' thing is purely a gratuity, not some sort of pay for service, then what's the point in reversing the charges? Why don't the cheap bastards just not pay up front to watch?
... is Twitch? And why are people 'contributing' to it's members?
I understood that it was some sort of video streaming/chat service, purportedly used by gamers. But if 'contributions' are really a big thing, I suspect that there might be something other than gaming going on, for which people expect 'contributions'.
In many cases, intelligence agencies recruit moles based on having some embarrassing information. It doesn't have to be prosecutable. Just something the subject doesn't want revealed. But now that allegations have been made public, the leverage value of the information has been diminished to the likes of the CIA/NSA. So this stuff should never be swept under the rug. Bring out the evidence and judge Applbaum either guilty or innocent publicly.
Undoubtedly, some women will be hesitant to pursue charges, due to the way that the s/w developer culture comes down on them. But in this case, that could work against anyone making threats, particularly anonymously*. Because if that information gets into the hands of the TLAs, its just as valuable fodder for blackmail as Jacob's fondling charge. And the sources of those threats will need to be bounced from sensitive projects as well.
*Like the NSA isn't watching the TOR/privacy s/w developer community already.
Six months would be a dream. We have a road project that has been going on for about 5 years. And for most of that time, one lane has been blocked and is being used by the contractors for storage. Not a staging area for materials they will be using. Just a pile of (quite rusty by now) pipe.
Here's my solution: Require that, for the duration of any project while traffic lanes are reconfigured or affected (like steel plates over trenches), the contractor shall maintain safety flaggers (the people with the SLOW/STOP signs) on site. 24x7x365, until it's finished.
The down side to this (compared to the simple string | sha256sum | cut) is that I can't reproduce it if I forget it. I can remember my simple string and cut points.

Useful idiots, Lenin called them.

Seeing as how this is Arkansas, the only circulating copy has a long waiting list.
I've fund that it helps to think of management as an implementation of UBI. Paying someone regardless of whether or not they do any constructive work.
Repeatedly posting Goatse.jpg was getting a bit old.
Google indexes what's there.

The "unbanked"
IOW, the poor. Who are not likely going to fight this in court.
Your local sheriff is probably a better shot.
