Don't know enough to find the study, but AI did provide novel, and unexpected, solutions to magnetic containment issues.

Think it was a pop-sci version of this:

I'm getting unemployment right now. It's 1/6th of my former pay, zero benefits. Oh, and the max benefit is a total of 2 weeks of former pay.

quit messing with commerce message

Politics aside, that's the message. Don't care who you are, what you believe, what you're fighting for, you cannot fuck with international commerce. That kinda BS hurts all of us, millions of us. That's the idea behind treating pirates so harshly. Do not fuck with trade because every human society depends on it.

You're thinking small-time, like an hourly worker. Good office jobs are generally salaried positions and the idea of clocking in and out is... not a thing. Some days you work more, some less, whatever needs to be done. The idea of 9-5 is just a general time frame. And no one gives a shit when you lunch or break. In a real profession the yardstick is, are you getting it done or not?

I'll catch grief for saying that, so I'll preempt by saying, if your job isn't like that, you likely have a shit job.

No clue. I read on a $20 tablet I got off Amazon. With the app that suits you, why not indeed? It's a total POS for anything but reading, but I bought it for an epub reader.

The 80s were loaded with 70s, even some 60s, furniture that wasn't worn out because it was made of real wood. Them we toted that crap off to college in the 90s.

This has been known since prehistory. FFS, we started agriculture to grow the nutritious grains we had found for food and beer, 12,000 years ago.

And now today! Neolithic tips and tricks!

^ Exactly this. First thing I thought because it's so obvious.

She had interviewed and met both remotely and in person, this guy was merely an HR drone confirming her documentation. I was a little bent when she told me he had asked her to remove her blur filter "to have a look at her working environment, make sure it's not cluttered" (something along those lines). No one else at this company requested such. Was he way out of line?

I should note, this is my PC in our living room and not where she will be working from. And this guy wants a look around our home?! Told my wife to bring this up once she's settled in, ask HR if this is policy. She started today!

She thinks it's a racism thing. I'm not so sure, but I don't have any other explanation.
