Because outside of the rare entrepreneurs who make 50k a month working 5 hours a week, there are a lot who worked 90 hour weeks sometimes not even being able to pay themselves. Yes maybe at one point they wanted to wear many hats and venture out. But that isn't a sustainable lifestyle for everyone. To think that person couldn't develop an appreciation for a supportive environment with PTO, the ability to focus on a limited number of tasks, stable pay, stable work hours and other team members they can depend on is a very limited viewpoint imo.

Life circumstances also change such as having a family, mortgage, wanting other hobbies, etc.. If a recruiter is assuming a previous entrepreneur is going to be permanently stuck in one mindset it's really not fair to the applicant. Maybe the person grew tired of the 90 hour weeks with no free time. Or wants to be able to take a day off without being stressed out that the whole deck of cards will collapse. They're primed to make good employees at that point who will likely appreciate the corporate perks vs someone who has been in that environment for a long time and feels entitled to it.

As an American, I've heard way more stories about endless application for white collar jobs going nowhere than white collar jobs not being able to be filled (unless we are talking about something specialized and niche.). American companies have no problem selling out their own citizens for their shareholders.

I see your downvoted but I agree. Workplace "success" is a metric but not the only metric in life. And if you decrease the focus on that metric I think you would find some darker sides. Downvote away.

Not what I said.

A bit of an exaggeration. It's the middle of summer. It's not like this water source won't cool down again.

polio affected 8-37 out of 100000 people between 1940 and 1950 and everyone remembers it. CDC has identird 11 communities with 1 out of 36 8 year old children have been diagnosed with autism in 2020. Estimates place roughly 1/3 of those have less than 70 IQ. So let's say 1 out of 108 children.

Source: I said so.

I use TrueNAS (FreeBSD) version. ZFS makes keeping data snapshots and external backups a fairly easy process. It really cut down on server data management time. The only issue I found with it is there was a now long patched SMB bug a few years ago in the TrueNAS software that caused my storage pool to become corrupted after a large transfer. And there was no way for me to recover the data. It was all lost despite the disks still spinning and presumably still having most and the 1 and 0s recoverable.

Didn't need laws when propaganda could convince large numbers of men to take up arms against each other in bloody combat.

Im not arguing the point. It's a sad state of affairs. But Le Pen was painted here as a female version of Trump. So that's why Macron was perceived as representative of French progressiveness.

The short term effects of many drugs seem harmless. Because they seem harmless, it makes the anti-drug messaging seem overblown. It's usually too late once the long term effects are noticed. I wish there was a better way to get that message through other than experience.

I think France is generally perceived here to have more progressive social policies regarding labor, education, healthcare and the environment. The limited media coverage I've seen about French elections seemed to paint Macron as the candidate more representative of those values.

I want to meet the person who reported a bug with this running on the original Xbox. Warms my heart someone out there still uses it and has already tried this.

Way to say you didn't read my whole comment before posting without saying you didn't read my whole comment before posting.

Precisely. It is cloudier. I was making the point that in my limited experience, the mods haven't represented the community of the topic. They represent a subset of the community of the topic which the mods have allowed certain opinions to prosper and others to perish based on non-topic related issues. And what you said actually aligns with that. Mods may have crippled communities without ensuring there was a consensus of opinions on the matter first.

I didn't try to generalize. I even said at the end of the post it represented my limited experience.

What I meant by "in line with" is an association with an extreme political ideology. I understand the confusion. Again, partially my fault But the point was a person who has a complaint on the current status quo shouldn't associate them with someone trying to say or stand for something extreme.

Ahh yes. The classic anyone who sees any issue with the current state of things must be in line with Nazi conspiracy theorists. Such depth.

You have my comment backwards. Partially my own fault I'm sure. But what I'm referring to is the mods bringing their own beliefs into the community and making it part of the topic, not the other way around.

If anyone is thinking they are bigger than they are it's these mods. Some of my favourite hobbies have been absolutely tainted by people who become mods of a community who put their societal/political/sexual beliefs with equal weight with the actual topic of the sub reddit. Say anything that mildly offends the mods personal beliefs? Banned. Or at the very least, find yourself limited in the role you can play in the community. Unfortunately, these mods seem to have the most free time to hijack the shared common interest in the sub-reddit topic to push their own version of community standards. I'm just speaking to my limited experience of my own personal interests but that's all I can say about it.

I believe there is less truck driving here on Sundays even though it is legal because truckers try to take days off and see family too.

Agreed. The problem is when citizens come forward to push for this, the manufacturer's lobbyist come in say it's too dangerous. Both from a trade secrets and a user injury perspective (battery packs explode dontcha know). And the manufacturers have more money to spend on lobbyist and political campaigns than the citizens. Like anything, it would take average citizens organizing in significant numbers to change anything. And not enough people care enough to actually sacrifice their time and money to make such a stand.

Feel free to downvote this because it is a very simple observation and not based on deep academic study. I really hate wages have been so stagnant and have not kept up with inflation. I feel like I've been treading water the last 10 years of my adult life despite making above minimum wage. But I also can't help but notice a lot of people used to say "$15 dollars per hour is going to equal $15 dollar hamburgers" and now where I live $15 dollars per hour has become a pretty common starting wage and now everything is more than usual inflated.

So to my understanding what they are proposing is allowing you to be hacked by the government if you are a victim of hacking by another actor. I can see the value of this being able to access log files and other data that could assist in investigating the original hackers. I suppose they wouldn't want to always tip off the victim of hacking because the victim might change something that could scare aware the original hackers or delete useful metadata before the investigation could be carried out. But it essentially could become a free pass for the state to hack anybody. Because 1.) Anyone with a public facing server knows there are bot hacking attempts made against them 24/7 or 2.) Just hire a 3rd party to hack someone then you have immediate cause to get access to their data. This article didn't seem to have a definite answers what kind of protections would be put in place in these events. It sounded like they previously did try to word the law to only pertain to the original investigation but one can only wonder.

I think intelligent people refusing to acknowledged that science is not a field void of people with imperfect ethics, bias, financial gain incentive or a need to justify their position has immunized me from blindly trusting science. Many years ago a research professor at a highly regarded university basically described to me how funding worked at their university. Essentially the most important criteria was if their research had some promise of results aligning with who was giving the university funding. The second was how well you could navigate the politics of the university and the research funds director. This person expressed deep dissatisfaction that they had promising research in the cancer field that they could not get the lab director to fund because of the first two points.

In addition to when they don't work. What about when the company stops supporting them or just goes under? The industry never seemed to build long term trust whenever I looked into it.

I unfortunately don't have the availability to test their solution. But I love the vision. I hope they pull through.

Am I the only one that doesn't find this metric meaningful?

It's liberating to know that my emails can't be wholesale data mined or someone can't take down my web project if I commit some ToS thought crime. But doing it for clients was a ball-and-chain that I have no desire to do again. So for personal stuff it's great. For business stuff it's like adopting a pet that you can't leave alone too long. I would keep business stuff outsourced.
