I believe “She” here refers to the original owner (the victim). Apple offers a feature to remotely wipe your device if lost, and that was what I understood the owner to have done. I’ve done the same thing for a stolen iPhone.
If you are not familiar with the Elf on the Shelf that you put in your home to "report" to Santa, I guess I consider you lucky. The Gummy Bear on the Chair is HN friendly kind of answer. It sells nothing and promotes science and a maker culture. Happy Holidays.
That’s a lot of trouble, more than straight piracy and more than straight commercial “purchase”. That seems an unreasonable burden to impose on normal people.
1.) This case only applies to employees that the NLRA covers. In other words, it does not apply to anyone classified as a "supervisor" under Section 2(11) the Act. For these employees, keep your severance agreements as-is; this case does not impact them at all.
2.) McLaren Macomb is prospective only. It will have no impact on severance agreements previously signed.
3.) This decision makes very little sense. By the very nature of a severance agreement, you are giving a former employee something to which they are not entitled (additional money) in exchange for a signed agreement that contains certain covenants. The ex-employee is free to take the severance payment in exchange for the signed agreement (including the confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses) or not take the severance payment (and say whatever they want to whom). As these non-disparagement and confidentiality clauses are a condition of the receipt of a severance payment to which a non-employee is not otherwise entitled, I fail to see how the NLRA is implicated at all.
The voices sound pretty good, better than I expected. I “recognize” the female voice. It sounds a lot like somebody who I’ve heard read many New Yorker or Atlantic articles ether for Audm or the old Audible New Yorker service. I’ll try and find the readers name, but I’d bet anything she was used in the training.
I just learned of your site through this post, it looks useful (and not just for SEO spam), thank you.
Some feedback: some initial searches did not find blogs that were of interest. When browsing I noticed the tags.
I wish there was a page of tags that I could browse. If there is, I could not find it.
Also many of the site titles do not provide useful information on their topics and are untagged. If you could auto generate some tags, perhaps based on word frequency in post titles (with some stopwords no doubt), that would improve the browsing experience, at least for me.
Inspired by reading Steven Strogatz's Sync, I recently began working thru "Agent-Based Modeling" from Complexity Explorer (Santa Fe Institute) it is a very gentle introduction to the subject. There is a online MOOC class, or you can just watch the lectures and play with the app. It makes use of NetLogo. NetLogo is kind of horrible if you come from a programming background, but if you can suppress the constant annoyances of the syntax, grammar and the enormity of the builtin keywords/functions (and it does require some effort) you'll discover that you can build and visualize some pretty neat models very quickly with very little code.
