The main problem with this is that there's literally zero way to prove this, one way or the other. There are no logs with that level of detail, nor is there a (usable) timestamp of the observed infraction.

The best you could do is show that you did not send a text message, or a Facebook post, etc. Not only does this fail any chain of custody concerns (since you can't get a certified copy from an independent party), it's also trying to (impossibly) prove a negative.

Even if you could, that's still not good enough. You have to show, conclusively, that you were doing something explicitly allowed.

Go ahead and try to show that you even skipped a song in your preferred music player, let alone when.

It wasn't that long ago that Ohio was a clear swing state. While Republicans have always had an edge, it was not uncommon to see various offices/etc flip blue. While this alone won't bring those days back, it's also not an impossible task.

Then why do you need to tolerate it better?

There's something missing in this ask. If you don't handle a food very well, you simply avoid/reduce it. Whether it's caffeine, an allergy, or whatever.

Why do you need to change your body's reaction? Why not just switch to decaf or other drinks?

It does if you have career progression and promotions in mind. Also if you're looking for some new insights to shake things up.

Depending on where you are, it still may not be legal. Law overrides contracts.

This really isn't dangerous unless you already screwed up badly. If it wipes, you just restore from backup/DR.

You do have backups and a DR plan for your prod servers, right?

Flip it around - why would you work a job, any job, where you don't know your pay until after the work is done?

"Tipping" is rich-people speak for shifting the expense (and blame) to the customer.

I can assure you that Microsoft already purchases a ton of Macs. They develop software for Mac and iOS, after all.

It's also not like this snuck up on them. Governments around the world warned them very clearly that they had to get onto a standard. Apple dragged their feet the entire time, fighting it at every opportunity, until it went into law.

I don't know what India's law says, but I suspect it boils down to "All phones sold as new after XXXX date must have a USB-C charger". Apple has the choice to modify the older/cheaper designs, or to stop selling them in that market.

Possibly illegal, depending on your local laws.

If it is legal, contact your congressman (local, state, national) because it sure as hell needs to be illegal.

This is a highly concerning allegation, and it does explain some interesting results I've noticed lately. I've wondered why, especially when searching for products, an expected result isn't there unless I invoke it by name. I'd chalked it up to their competition having more mindshare and thus a higher page rank score. Now I'm not so sure.

Worse, it somewhat supports claims that the far-right has been making, although those claims still completely miss the mark.
