My bad choice of words, I meant to say that saving money is not wrong or immoral and that a lot of the arguments here are based on that as opposed to the materiality of having done something wrong by the SEC.
Two statements made by early "prophets" of the religion, statements that most members would like to forget. Actually it was Joseph Smith (the religion's founder) that said the moon is populated by people resembling Quakers. Joseph Fielding Smith, the church's "prophet" in the mid-1900's, said we would never make it to the moon.
I guess it shows that they weren't just going to take a manager's word it and that multiple levels of management engaged in a PIP. Especially with how busy this director was typically, it was a use of their time that I didn't expect. Also, having a director be competent enough as an IC to pair program was something I hadn't experienced or expected.
"Religion-based" morality is dangerous and it evolves with society. What was acceptable by religion 300-500 years ago isn't acceptable today. And yet, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever? No thanks.
If qualifying as a technical civilization can be defined as being able to launch a self-replicating interstellar probe (a/k/a a Bracewell-von Neumann probe), we can be confident that our galaxy has not yet had one. Once those probes are out there, they'll saturate the galaxy permanently; and once a technical civilization can launch one, it'll happen eventually. A modern billionaire could probably fund such a project now.
Depends on the mode of communication that's been determined to be most reliable with the person in question. I've resorted to synchronous comms when the other party is notoriously bad at responding async.
...which would likely persist regardless of whether the request is emailed or messaged.
In Standard Notes' case they are AES encrypted before leaving the device using a note specific key encrypted using your master password (or at least that's how the underlying system Standard File used to work). Encrypted at rest could just mean the volume is encrypted but they can still read your notes (since they have the key).
Unless they're self hosting, this might even be a super easy thing to add. With AWS and many other cloud providers this is either the default or a simple checkbox.
There was a post [1] here a few months ago that mentioned a medical device built for motion sickness iirc, but patients reported that it also reduced or eliminated their tinnitus.
My tinnitus is fairly minimal but I'd love to try both of these devices.
