So... here's an idea...everyone who's now realized (or who's bosses now realize), there was no reason to go to the office to work, should add up all the commute hours and charge their bosses for it. If the bosses don't pay, then just start taking it in comp time each week until settled.

One advantage Google has over Microsoft is that Google creates better software products. They might both be anticompetitive monopolists, but at least with Google you aren't stuck with total shit.

I work at a place that likes to write assembly language code in C, but now they've migrated to writing C code in C++.

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like attached and being able to swap components quickly.

The important caveat to the headline about police being more likely to react violently to left wing protests is that ACLED has only been collecting U.S. data for about one year, so a more accurate headline would probably be "Police Three times as likely to use force against Black Lives Matter protesters than anti-lockdown and pro-Trump protesters."

So it's not clear how much of this is left-right prejudice by the police vs. racist prejudice by the police.

Given the history of the policing (worxintheory.wordpress.com/201), it would not be *at all* surprising if the police are indeed also much more likely to respond violently to workers protests, peace protests, etc., but the ACLED data don't quantify the answer to this question.

If armed Trump supporters take the Indiana state capital, we aren't going to notice a difference.

Armed Trump supporters in the nation's capitals vs the cops...time for the antifascists to sit back with a bowl of popcorn.

When large billion dollar ISPs are rolling out fiber to their wealthy customers and not upgrading their low income customers (who also pay them), that is called digital redlining, and it should be abolished in law.
