Years back I worked with a gent who developed the back end of the site that saw enough traffic to support our team via advertisements.
He was, from my perspective, very sharp. He said that his manager at a previous job stated that the most valuable skill was getting along with others. The manager stated that he could train any human monkey to code, but the interpersonal relationships skills were tops in his view.
"When I've been on Fox News, the production assistants who led me through backstage confided they were making min wage and struggling to get by in NYC. I asked the hosts (who make seven figures and laughed at me on air) to talk about their workers' pay on air. They always said no."
I understand that there is going to be a certain level of hypocrisy in any large organization, but wow, this (to me) is beyond the pale.
It is rather scary that Omicron is said to give mild cases, causing some I know to not really worry about it.
It is sad that with so little known about Long Covid, the General Practitioners mentioned in the article are telling their patients that it's just anxiety and 'to go home and sort themselves out.'
When the symptoms don't fit a known diagnosis, the default probably should not be 'it is all in your head'.
What exactly do you think worrying about it will accomplish? It seems that "Long Covid" is mostly associated with patients' belief that they had the disease rather than actual infections. Many cases are psychosomatic.
I have a Digital Ocean droplet using Wireguard for just myself and my mate.
My use case is not wanting my ISP to snoop on my activity, and not being as nervous when connecting to an open wifi network, such as at a hotel or medical office/hospital.
Gimp is no where near to be an alternative to photoshop. I understand its an open source and free software, but I would rather prefer someone taking money and polishing the software for human usage.
Affinity suite is much more recommendable.
It offers a lifetime license and is actually a polished and alternate software with most of the feature parity.
Since corporations are legally people with rights of free speech, like individuals have...then they should be taxed like the average person is, on revenue.
If a corporation is responsible for the death of a person, the CEO, CFO, COO, and members of the board should serve prison time.
If the corporation is a repeat offender, then the corporation should suffer the death penalty. The assets liquidated a public auction. Also Corp Officers and board members go to jail and are forbidden from ever holding such position again.
I would take step further, since corporations are legally people, they shouldn't limit responsibility of their owners. That is if corporation results in deaths all owners should also suffer real penalty such as prison time.
Taxing revenue harms the low profit commodity businesses, like small retailers why being excellent for tech giants especially the ad selling ones like Google/Facebook.
A better idea might be tax investors at income tax levels on capital gains, regardless of holding time (adjusted for inflation indexation)
And increase corporation tax for companies above a certain profit level maybe at $1bn up.
By your definition of a "failed state", then the USA has been a "failed state" in the past. Since there have been a couple of assassinations of US presidents.
