@GeoffreyBrent That flyer is specific to public sector jobs based on how Queensland defines it. I think it's quite bold to claim that this definition also applies to any company in the private sector and further to "just about anywhere."

Your factual insight and practical testing were very enlightening. The answer would be improved without the unsubstantiated claims on CNN's likely motives, and personal views of the AP.

I don't do much code golfing, but I am a frontend developer. There's three main ways that I've seen the word "frontend" represented: "frontend," "front-end," "front end". In JavaScript, would this be an optimally-golfed solution to randomly picking one of those representations of the word?

@EriktheOutgolfer Maybe I will someday! I'm a software engineer, but I'm encouraged specifically not to write code like you guys usually do, for good reason! I'll have to put the effort into learning all of the usual tricks at some point. Probably start with Javascript, as that's mostly what I work with every day.

@user4012 I only meant my comment as a response to your statement of “I find it curious that you don’t challenge the assertions (nor does anyone else) at all, though.” —> it contains no assertions. Yes, it is not a sufficient proof or explanation, and it is only one data point. I think the upvotes are probably from others with whom this answer resonates, not necessarily scholars who have analyzed the subject thoroughly.

@user4012 Because there are no assertions to challenge. It's all personal testimony. Their conclusion is "had I never gone to college I'd probably be a lot more politically conservative." While I can also relate to OP's experience, there aren't any statements to refute—the fact that OP has reached this conclusion concerning their personal experience is not a point that any one else can challenge.

@TGMCians Yes. Click the "Select this font" button (sometimes it's just a "+", depending on what view you're on). It will add your font to that drawer at the bottom of the screen. After selecting all of the fonts you wish to download, expand that drawer, and you can find options to embed your fonts, or download them as a .zip file via the download button at the top right. Unzip the downloaded file to find your .ttf files.

@GraceNote This community has a track record of being silent on meta and chat (as JonW pointed out in an election question). What would happen if we encounter the very possible situation where we have no candidates come forward? Would we simply not have an election?

I really wish I thought to look this up earlier, but there's a few rot13 Chrome extensions that will decipher the text in place. This one sticks the option in the context menu, so you just select, right click, and decipher (and doesn't ask for any elevated permissions). Pretty nifty—thought you guys might want to check it out. (There are several out there, so I'm not necessarily promoting any specific one.)

@MaskedMan fair enough. I’ve had the same experience. I definitely am not saying it’s a good strategy, but I think it happens. I get put on hold often here in the US and get played very low quality music—not due to a technical deficiency (the rest of the phone call is of excellent quality), but rather intentionally.

@nocomprende whether or not Liam understands the reasoning behind the airliners' request is irrelevant and does not impact why the icon was chosen. To summarize what has been said already: the mode is called airplane mode because it puts your phone into a mode that is compliant with flight policy. I (and most users, I assume) rarely--if ever--use it when not in a plane. Airplane mode is critical when flying, but provides little to no value to most users otherwise. The icon makes perfect sense in this regard. This question really shouldn't be this difficult to resolve.

@nocomprende have you ever turned off your cell phone before pulling up to a gas pump? Personally, I have not, despite having read that warning as well. I'd say that the need for that feature was far greater (from a user's perspective) in an airplane because flight attendants actually enforce this policy.
