The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.

In their statement, officials said the hiker was left to reach the summit on his own at about 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT).

From another article:

“In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone,” search and rescue officials said.

They left him behind.

In response to him "not listening" about being on the wrong trail:

Shortly after sending them a second message, a strong storm passed through the area, bringing "high winds and freezing rain" and leaving him without a signal.

From the other article:

The abandoned hiker finally reached the correct trail around 3:30 p.m. and texted his coworkers that he was back on course when a strong storm passed through the area with freezing rains and high winds, pushing him back off course and causing him to lose his cell phone signal, search and rescue officials said.

Well unless you live in New Zealand this specific case doesn't affect you.

However, it doesn't mean that you must have a schedule. Uber could choose to do that but what it does mean is that in New Zealand you could gain the same worker protections of that country, including benefits, pay, paid time off, etc. as applicable to the country's laws, if the ruling expanded to everyone in that country instead of the 4 people that sued.

THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE ARMS!

Confirmed, VeggieTales is anti-2A.

"In my situation we don't need AC, so neither does anyone else! My supporting argument is that we don't have AC and live with it."

I'm sure laws on this differ everywhere in the world but I assume you're talking US. It is doubtful an employer could win a law suit against you for not showing your specific methodology unless you have a contract and that was part of it.

As far as firing goes, there aren't very many situations that an employer can't fire you over for cause but obviously also can fire you without cause.

Would they own the templates? Yeah but they'd also have to know to look for them unless you told them. Otherwise they'd probably already have created some templates and expect you to use and perhaps improve them.

Gets an update a couple of years in to fix some bugs.

Gets second update on year 5 to add ads in all menus.

Gets a third update on year 6 to add a nag banner saying it isn't going to work anymore soon with a discount code for a new Samsung TV.

Gets a fourth update on year 7 on the backend to disable Samsung account access from the TV but on the front end of the TV making Samsung account access mandatory to use the TV.

Reminds me of a friend of mine. He was promoted to some sort of engineering metrics analyst. His job it turned out, was to take a bunch of different reporting products and then create a presentation once a week to go over all of the metrics and have them in easy to understand graphs on a specific template.

So of course a month into the job he automates the entire thing and his job now takes a total of 5 minutes because he waits on the actual numbers to be crunched and spit out into the new template.

He's super bored and asks me if he should tell his boss what he's done and possibly get another promotion out of it. I said "Sure, if you want to be promoted to the layoff line."

So his boss gave him some extra tasks and he just keeps blazing through them. His boss wants to know how he's able to be the most productive person they've ever seen in that position. He asks me again, if he should tell the boss and his boss' boss because they are super impressed. I said "No. Absolutely not. Just shrug and tell them you just do your best every day. They'll eat that right up." He does. He gets a promotion a couple of months later to a middle manager of some type. Probably due the Peter Principle.

Don't ever give out your templates or show your process. If they can hire someone less experienced at a much cheaper rate, they eventually will.

She couldn't talk to the American public without appearing elitist and smug either.

You do have to be really careful. This is one of the ways you can clip through to the back rooms.

It does represent freedom.

Kent can fork the kernel if he wants with all the fixes he wants in it and distribute it as he sees fit. This particular instance of the kernel (which happens to be original -- the upstream), Linus has to balance allowing some fixes other developers want to include versus a 'minor' release of the kernel during this cycle (because it is a minor version release, not a major one). Kent could then also stop other developers from contributing to his fork but then those people could just fork his kernel fork and do what they want.

You as a user are free to use any of them. You're even free to take Kent's PRs right now with everything done in the kernel at this point, compile it and run it yourself if you want. You could even market it as something and sell it all if you want for a profit if you can get the customers. You're free to do all of that. You can do it right now if you want.

The drivers work for Battle-Tested Strategies out of Amazon DAX-8 in Palmdale. Battle-Tested Strategies owns/leases all the delivery vans. Amazon doesn't own Battle-Tested Strategies but is the actual contractor for Amazon.

Just over a year ago Battle-Tested Strategies recognized that their drivers are a part of the Teamster's union. Then last summer Amazon essentially let go all of the union drivers.

The NRLB ruled that both Amazon and Battle-Tested Strategies are joint employers of those drivers. This means that not only can the Teamsters directly negotiate with Amazon for a binding bargaining agreement, then Amazon may be liable if they violated laws in regard to stuff like union busting and retaliation.

Here's an article from last summer about what happened that kicked this off.

Like I said if they change their policy (even for a user) and allow someone else to use it, it is better than having all of your identifying information tied together under a username.

It doesn't change what Disney tried to do to get out of it.

You should delete your account. It can't be used again on Reddit (unless they change their policy). If you're worried about being identified, then it's better to just delete the account anyway than the alternative.

It wasn't a server failure. Someone rm -rf on the root of the server. The server did what it was told.

It is mostly a translation layer -- WINE is Not an Emulator (WINE). The reason Microsoft 'allows' this is because they have no choice. WINE hasn't broken any laws or violated any copyright or trademarks. Same goes for Proton with DXVK of course.

Here's how to delete the SBAT policy that the Windows Update applies.

It updates Secure Boot in the BIOS, so you could completely remove Windows but the Secure Boot update would still be in the BIOS and affect the boot loader.

An elephant cock with the endurance of a cheetah maybe? Or maybe an elephant cock that's easy to spot.
