I think part of the issue is how business accounting practices work. When you buy a machine, you can call it a capital investment and count its value as an asset. When you hire a person and cultivate them for years, from an accounting perspective their salary is strictly a liability / expense. Even though that person is an asset in every other way, our standard accounting practices don’t reflect that.

It sounds like most, if not all, come from upstream projects.

Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

• 24% is a lot, but doesn’t bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
• Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
• Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
• They don’t trust Boeing to keep it’s promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

Anything else?

I assume some variation of this exist for other jurisdictions, but in the US, some crimes require prosection to prove “intent” (mens rea) Depending on the crime, you might have to know that it’s illegal for mens rea.

In US Tax Court, there’s precedence that ignorance of tax code is a defense for criminal tax.

The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren’t the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.

My wife worked at a rental office for an apartment building and had the same experience.

Which isn’t to say there can’t be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.

What the what?!

That’s not exactly how it works. There are “territorial waters” which are entirely under the control of the state. And there is the “exclusive economic zone” (EEZ) outside of that, where the state has rights to resources. But the surface is “international waters”. This incident happened in the EEZ.

If anyone else is interested in details on the effect of active sonar on divers, I found this https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/93222

Here’s another plug for gitea. It’s lightweight, but still has a nice feature set.

I tried hosting GitLab a number of years back, but it was more resource hungry than my host machine could handle well.

Nothing new. Nothing recent. Just people being scared of something because they don’t know how it works or because it’s relatively new.

Major distros have started adopting it in recent years. It’s one of many ways for a distro to manage which services are running. Many of the others are essentially a hodgepodge of shell scripts.

systemd provides a lot of flexibility with service dependencies and logging, amount other things. It has a standard way to have user-scoped services. It’s standardizes filtering logs for specific services.

Yes. I’ve used it to batch convert PNG and jpg to webp.

Check out mogrify. I think it’s installed standard with ImageMagick, and it does wildcard conversions.

Anything Zigbee or Z-Wave.
