Here in Humboldt County, ands other places where the pot economy is strong, cash is king. Very few businesses blink at a $50 or $100 bill. Most medium sized businesses have they own bill counting and banding machines in the back room. It isn't unusual to see signs stating no debit or credit cards for purchases under $X.00, but I've never seen one stating no cash.
At least in some states, I predict that they will run afoul of independent contractor v. employee rules. That said, there is a lot of this sort of thing in the trucking business.
Bullshit. Atari was stupid to agree to the interview and to send an unqualified representative who couldn't talk about the product. The reporter did his job and reported factually on the product and the meeting.
Sorry to be a wet blanket here, but since when do you own anything on someone else's computer?
I own dollars and Euros that have no physical existence except in my banks' computers. Ditto cryptocurrencies. Many people own copyrighted commercial and private personal information stored on someone leases computers in the cloud. Location does not equate to ownership.
We don't legally punish the person whose house get's broken into by a burglar for not securing their house properly.

That's because I'm not generally storing my stuff in my neighbor's house. However if I loan my lawnmower to my neighbor, and it gets stolen because he left his garage door open overnight, he is generally responsible civilly for my loss.
I had a Sony Discman that was great, but those bastards have been dead to me since the rootkit nastiness in 2005. I wouldn't trust a BASIC Hello World program from those bastards.
Except, of course, when your neighbor has resources you need but don't have. Things like water, farmland, scarce minerals, etc. That's actually why most wars are fought.
My IMAP interface with gmail remains unchanged. I have never been infected with the desire to use any webmail, especially Google's. As long as they allow IMAP or POP connections, I will continue to use gmail, but not for anything important.
I see people doing a lot more than that. They use it to run office suite software for business purposes. They also use it to run Windows front ends for database applications. None of this really requires anything newer than Windows 98 or maybe XP.
Actually it was to have someone else do their job long enough to see if they were cooking the books. We had annual, independent financial audits, and not doing this would trigger an audit finding.
>I worked for major financial institution for a long time and found that the salary budget was very limited but that they would, and could negotiate time off without adding to the budget.
I had a similar experience in the insurance industry. The last six years before I retired I had 22 vacation days and 13 paid holidays. I also required people in my organization to actually take their vacation. People in sensitive financial positions were required to take two consecutive weeks off at least once a year.
The submitter write, "a mistaken bias against electricity in space continues to dominate conversations." What dominates conversations is a complete lack of credible evidence for this. It reminds me of the old days when Archimedes Plutonium invaded sci.physics and talk.origins.
This its not a theory. Theories are supported by reproducible, publicly observable experimental evidence. This is barely an hypothesis. It's more like wild assed speculation. How is this idea experimentally testable? Positing an intelligence to fill in the gaps in our knowledge smacks of the old God of the Gaps fallacy.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) still works like a champ.
My concern about 11.4.1 is does it fix the horrible battery drain of 11.4? I'll update tonight, because i have nothing to lose.

Most YouTube content is all the reminder I need stop watching.
It's more about capturing revenue that currently goes to Barclays. It's also about spreading the Apple Pay service.
>Oh, and I'll be batshit senile.
That's never been a bar to being president, emperor, dear leader, or anything else.

then use the Signal messaging app at both ends.
Or Telegram.
Brown Bag Tickets is another good choice.
Or "Telegram" or "Signal", but with extra data charges.

That would make an excellent sig.

I can't imagine dropping acid and then just lying in an MRI scanner.
Agreed. I always felt claustrophobic indoors on acid. Can't imagine the tube.
I started not liking him as soon as he was appointed. I've since moved on to outright loathing. Anyone have his phone number?

Nothing like a financial institution's website that requires Flash to inspire confidence.
