They don’t have to. They could simply say Jan. 6 wasn’t an insurrection as described by the 14th amendment.

This was a fun read. Thanks for sharing.

Is “balls” a verb now?

Interesting development.

Two major appeals in a historically significant case could easily take 5-7 years to process.

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but unfortunately the stock price soared at amzn after layoffs. Same thing happened at my old company. Only thing the market sees is the bottom line.

Also, the people quitting are the ones with a strong enough resume to get hired elsewhere.

Quiet quitting is an excellent option if you don’t care what your next job is, but the fully remote options are all getting filled quickly, and simply waiting to get fired just means you’ll be job hunting later in a potentially worse market, and going back to the office anyway.

Better to move up and out than just wait to be fired, in my opinion.

We hardly have any small EVs in the US. I’m keen on the mini that’s coming out next year, but 40k is a big ask for a short commute.

I guess it’s busloads of tweakers for me for a while.

I want to ride a bike really bad, but cars have killed more cyclists in my city year over year my entire life.

It’s just simply terrifying out there when a douche in an Escalade is in a hurry.

There’s three different arm positions in a single picture. That doesn’t happen in the blink of an eye.

The camera is taking many frames over a relatively long time to do this.

This is nothing at all like rolling shutter, and it’s very obvious from looking at the example in the article.

Did you look at the example in the article? It’s clearly not milliseconds. It’s several whole seconds.

I don’t think that’s what’s happening. I think Apple is “filming” over the course of the seconds you have the camera open, and uses the press of the shutter button to select a specific shit from the hundreds of frames that have been taken as video. Then, some algorithm appears to be assembling different portions of those shots into one “best” shot.

It’s not just a mechanical shutter effect.

All my colleagues who left faang companies to go to startups with big offers (and better titles) have lost out massively on comp becauss VC dried up and rsus are worthless.

One guy lost 90% of his rsu value. Another guy got straight up laid off. A third person I know lost about 75% of their offer in stock price declines in early 2023.

I agree that it’s often exciting (and easy) to be exceptional at a smaller company, but in my experience it’s almost never financially beneficial.

I fully agree with your sentiment.

But the frustrating reality that Amazon is exploiting is almost no other companies pay as much as Amazon and allow full remote work. Even less if you’re one of the thousands of people on a work visa.

Easier said than done for a lot of folks. Online shopping put a lot of malls and other stores out of business. Good luck finding clothes anywhere but Walmart and the Internet.
