Link around paywall to Los Angeles Times:
This officially makes Mark Zuckerberg a ghoul.
Requiring email addresses to track recipients of a "gift link" stinks. (I was asked too.)

Another good post.about the IOC's bad decision:
Also, this post hits hard (and makes me wonder about the history of the IPC rule), as do the comments:

Fediverse friends, can you help me out?
I've been an independent contractor for a long time. Now that my salesperson is retiring, I'm looking for work, and open to contract work or regular employment (i.e. "get a real job") in or near Sunnyvale, CA.
I have degrees in computer science and management, usually develop systems of electronic circuits and software, and have been the principal engineer for a startup that grew to about 170, and a project's principal hardware engineer within a company of about 130,000.
Lately I've been getting highly motivated to find work, and open to nearly anything that offers at least a living wage.
I think that I might be doing something wrong with my resume.
If you are so inclined, would you please have a look at my resume (here in HTML, with contact info redacted) and perhaps offer a critique? Please feel free to message privately.
Thanks
