i had it briefly a few years ago and it drops candies and other things on random streets around town that you drive over to collect to get points and level up, because we need to gamify driving out of your way apparently

GPS units don’t have rat running as their fundamental design; most traditional ones you basically have to force into it

nah ratrunning is an example of a failure of design, typically when the usage type of a road nearby changes over time and the surrounding area isn’t redesigned to accommodate it it’s reasonable to expect affected residents to complain about it; they usually just complain about the wrong causes

Facebook has spent $20 million on Mark Zuckerberg's security since 2015 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took home just $1 for his annual base salary last year, but the company shelled out nearly $9 million on his security and private planes. A new public filing shows Facebook significantly increased the amount it spent on keeping Zuckerberg safe in 2017, upping such expenses more than 50% from the $5.8 million it spent in 2016. All told, the company has spent about $20 million on Zuckerberg's security and travel on private planes since 2015. The company said the cost of Zuckerberg's "overall security program" was a way to address "threats to his safety arising directly as a result of his position as our founder, Chairman, and CEO." "We require these security measures for the company's benefit because of the importance of Mr. Zuckerberg to Facebook," the filing states. His private plane expenses include fees, fuel, crew and catering costs. And Facebook pays for security personnel and security systems at his residences, according to the filing. It's not uncommon for companies to cover these types of expenses for high-profile CEOs. Apple (AAPL) recently required its chief, Tim Cook, to travel by private plane for "all business and personal travel," according to regulatory filings. Apple spent about $317,000 on Cook's security and travel last year. Facebook also covers security expenses for Sheryl Sandberg, the company's chief operating officer and a popular author and public speaker. The company paid for $2.7 million worth of personal security expenses last year on top of her $22.5 million salary, bonus and stock award compensation package, the public filings show. Sandberg and Zuckerberg have made the rounds in recent weeks attempting damage control. Facebook is embroiled in controversy over how the company handles the sensitive information it collects from its 2 billion users. The scandal erupted last month with headlines detailing how a data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica, was able to harvest information about 87 million users. Earlier this week, Zuckerberg spent 10 hours testifying before Congressional committees about the issue.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:hourly has nothing to do with whether you are overtime eligible they specifically do not take advantage of any exemptions to OT pay for hourly employees, because turns out that burning out your employees when you’ve got a launch upcoming has a tendency to seriously gently caress things up when they ragequit. Want to fly someone to Asia to fix something? 23 hours traveling door to door means you’re paying each way: 8 hours @ 1x 4 @ 1.5x 11 @ 2x better be making sure it’s worth it.
