Yeah I mean that's just a standard disclaimer that gets put on things when there's a public holiday in that region.

hey google

gently caress your loving webp garbage file format that even loving photoshop can't open so you can't convert it to anything that anyone uses except though lovely open source garbage or skeevy online converters.

just convert it to something usable with ffmpeg. poo poo sucks and you’ll deal with degradation but you can probably get something ‘good enough’

google linked me to someone's personal web1.0 site with a photoshop plugin that is probably going to automatically convert all my files into goatse but it was able to open the file so i could resave it as a jpeg.

you know, that file format that has worked perfectly fine for the last, i dunno, 30+ years

My man what I am saying is there's just some poor slob in India entering all the legal holidays for every place into a table that lets you do GetHoliday(date,lat,long).

If you don't want Maps telling the whole world your lovely state has a specific public holiday celebrating failed racist traitors, that sounds like something you should take up with your electeds instead of getting mad at an app.

sounds reasonable. i hear wells fargo developed some very interesting employee incentive programs.

we can talk about whether or not the incentives were a good idea, but one cannot deny that they worked

employees did, indeed, respond to the incentive :q:

yep obvs the incentives worked but thats why the punishment needs to extend to the managers & CxOs for it to make a difference

my employer just dropped columbus day for mlk day. my friend who works for the state gets confederate heroes day off on years where it doesn't also fall on mlk day, on yerars where they are the same day (this is, by design, most years) he gets only one day off.

va used to place lee-jackson day on the same day as mlk day, but moved them apart in like 2005 or something. i believe state workers get the former off, but not the latter

rubin or brin or whichever google idiot hell fuckers had some rule that new products should only be released if it could become as ubiquitous as toothbrushes. Which is why google glass was released as a lovely, pointless, mass-market consumer device instead of "there's a few niche industries where this could be useful if developed specifically for them"

"According to the New York Times, when Page looks at a potential company to acquire, he wants to know if the product is, like a toothbrush, 'something you will use once or twice a day.'"

*tbf it looka like a part of the test is asking "does this make your life better?" but goog doesn't seem to care about that part so much
