The bill gives more authority to the Departments of Homeland Security...

Yeah. Right, no more jurisdiction to DHS on labor matters.

My NodeJs app running inside a Docker container which is running inside a Linux Debian OS running as one of the VMs inside a Windows OS installed on a rack-mount server module housed with other modules in a server cabinet. The "atomic" structure of cloud infra.

What's the guarantee that say your San Francisco/NYC employer will keep paying you city rates when you are living in a small town in mid-west. At some point they will catch up and start saving money this way. Everyone at a tech company is not a crucial employee. Don't get me wrong, I am all in for getting paid SF rates while living in a cheap Texas suburb.

They just opened a huge new store at Hudson Yards in NYC. I’m sure lack of foreign rich tourists(mainly rich Chinese) during COVID months must have hurt them big time as well.

‘However with the development of antibiotics, UBI use declined and it has now been called “the cure that time forgot”.‘

It says antibiotics. Is it me or UBI was used to treat bacterial infections or the OP is desperately correlating this study with the “effectiveness” of testing viruses with UBI? I feel like a lot of partisan users are getting the boot from Reddit and they are channeling out their frustrations here. Guys let’s keep HN pure with tech only posts.

Amazon's (+Wholefood) supply-chain failure is an eye-opener for me during COVID-19 crisis. I hate to acknowledge my dependability on Amazon Prime while living in a big city. I am not sure how I will break my habit but I know for a fact that I won't be ordering everything from Amazon Prime in the future.

For a company that commands e-commerce space in year 2020, it is really frustrating to find this workflow while ordering from WF while using Amazon's app, it is a joke and UI/UX 101 blunder. You add items to your cart. They run out of inventory. Items disappear from your cart. Either you place your order assuming all items were in your cart or you don't get a delivery slot and you have to add those items again. Why can't they just borrow the same feature from Amazon.com where unavailable items move conveniently to "Save later" section?

I hate to say this but a lot of unfounded speculation in your comment as well.

"Secondly, have you done your research? Surely Facebook is not the only company being targeted by the government right now. I can assure you that, surely there are more."

Can you back this up with some factual information? Would love to know more about other companies. Thanks.

When I select Search box I want it to default to Apple's search rather than my collection. For me that has been a pain point. Clearly from your case, various users respond differently to features.

"...The company had just over 3,800 staff at the end of September.." I am surprised why they need such high number of staff when the functionality of the website is limited to content, reviews, search itineraries. Unless they hire field agents and ask them go inquire and write about a new place.

So a bad person can steal favicon of say New York Times and trick users clicking their fake links because eventually users will get used to establishing "credibility" of brand by recognizing the favicons? (granted the bad person is great at SEO best practices and their search results show up at the top)

"Stuff like making it easier to hide teams-emails from the company-wide outlook address-book" is not this an implementation thing instead of infrastructure? Say you use LDAP to manage user and permissions etc and it is up to you how you want to set it up. I am curious to find out if you are using some out of box solutions form AZURE for this.
