That's a cool link - thank you. There's so much there I couldn't tell if there were benchmarks for implementation on embedded hosts. I'm constantly looking for something suitable…

From the balance of comments on this article you'd think FT8 was saving ham radio from itself.

You might find it amusing to learn that non-competes are generally unenforceable against attorneys on grounds that it'd be denying the client the choice of her counsel...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some of this might be correct in _red's jurisdiction but every assertion is incorrect in my state. Who knows about your jurisdiction? IAAL but IANYL
comment
It surprised the hell out of me as it will you but ignorance of how much it cost and where the money goes wasn't an issue here. These Douglas county voters mailed in their rejection of a dedicate…

Along with what baybal2 says today they'd have to fit in to a corporate environment that rewards credentials over demonstrated skills, gladhanding and backslapping over geeking, financial enginee…

> California prohibits non-compete clauses in their contracts and nullifies the enforceability of non-competes from other states for workers who take jobs in California. There are silicon swamps, s…

How would you reconcile this claim that Buran was a better system when Buran was stolen Shuttle technology and wasn't reusable? See http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/201…
comment
By court fees do you mean court costs? IANYL but probably yes in my state anyway (FL). Defendant's attorneys fees and expenses? Sanctions? Probably not unless it's egregious.
comment
I like it also. But the point of class actions isn't to bring home big bank for the class members. It's to motivate the class action counsel who acts as a private state attorney (or whateve…

For what little it's worth I send good vibes their way and I hope what they've lost comes back to them 3x.

Dollar-for-dollar clawbacks by the Fed pension guarantee fund of the vultures' bounty + tripling the fraudulent conveyance lookback period, for starters.

Your friends shouldn't shed any tears for him, his proprietary entities will make out just fine. Better than just fine.
comment
Quite the contrary. The facade was required until the clock ran out on Title 11's two year fraudulent conveyance presumption.

I think it is more common than I want to believe but I haven't given up faith of finding a place with less inept middle management than this one, one that recognizes it'll get better work pr…
comment
I'm like you, mostly. It's not that the type of noise, it's the presence of noise that gets to me. Tried the earplugs, abandoned them because I don't like the feel or the wax buil…

A cowworker remarked to me earlier today that the denials don't matter, true or false the story serves a domestic US purpose in distracting from $OTHERNEWS (in this case the kavenaugh circus)
comment
Failure to mention NJIT's EIES or The Source for that matter renders this article's origin claims kinda questionable. Push reset, try again.
comment
> Sure it's cheaper That's enough, full stop, say no more. The other costs are real yet they're either not marginal, are borne by others, or both.
comment
Kinda getting into the weeds here (a case for Roundup?) but I gently disagree. Son may qualify as the Principal Farm Operator. It depends. For better or worse "Principal Farm Operator" is de…

You're not being fair to the OP The ERS data pertain to "principal farm operator". See https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/beginning-disad... …

I haven't but I take your point. How do surgeons operating remotely overcome the problems?
comment
Yeah why did Alexander even toss in that bit about average farmer age and in the next sentence point out that there's not enough generic labor to go around at the price the average 58 year old fa…

These were hard won and hard to keep. I fear that they'll be lost within my (X) generation.

The students can't buy coffee from that joint even if they want to: Their money's no good, they only take data. Wow.

How did spoofing work vis-a-vis those with 1-800 inbound lines? I was under the (mis?)impression that those users were protected against spoofing because they were (are?) billed by inbound call durati…

I'm not optimistic about revisiting contract law for this abuse. The grounds might be adhesion (I'm drawing a blank for other grounds but haven't had coffee yet) but those attacks haven…

A nearby post repeats the claim as if it were true nationwide, claiming that those who weren't given time off had to be supplied an absentee ballot. On its face it doesn't make sense unless …

> I know legally they have to give you an hour to vote Are you certain about this?

I get an email ack that it was received. Was it scanned and correctly tabulated? Unlikely given the history in my county (Sarasota)
