What has happened exactly in the last two weeks ?

Or revolvers, bolt action rifles, muskets, bow and arrows, spears, swords, shields, catapults, castles/ land forts.

This is correct. This entire conversation demonstrates how bad technical people are at understanding people.

You’re getting downvoted because it’s evidence against the prominent sentiment of government good, big business bad. How could to government ever make a mistake.

The judges ruling was uneducated and poorly based, especially considering how the big four got to be so big. It was politically motivated to make the party/gov look good, but the long term results were good for nobody. I lost money betting on the merger, it makes no sense it got blocked.

This is the way, everyone else is wrong.

Doesn’t this open them up for wrongful termination suits..

That’s what he is saying. Get rid of non h1bs then keep draining people until they leave and then use that as justification to expand h1b positions.

H1b is really not fair. They have virtually no negotiation standing without risking their immigration status. They are underpaid and subsidized, and drive domestic wages down. Among many simple reforms they should execute, a big one would be tonseperate the sponsor company from the visa. Which would allow them to negotiate and have more agency.

At least you can be productive ish on the train, sitting in the car for a daily dose of near death experience is even worse.

Last year was brutal, this year is great.

Or yea know get rid of patents and how broken they are, especially while our enemies are ignoring them anyway.

This is why I hn

No they won’t this is a highly public case because of their mishandling of all of it. They are claiming they can’t give people back their things and much of it was “lost”. Another addition to the long list of civil forfeiture cases in which us law enforcement legally steals people’s assets without consequences. They are incentivized to do so as local and federal agencies get kickbacks from what they seize. They’ve taken tens of thousands of dollars from taxpayers with little to no cause. Look up civil forfeiture.

You are blaming the wrong party. They’ve gotten that perspective from experience not thought vacuum. There are many industries, commercial airlines included that do not have competitive capitalist environments. There are typically 3-5 big players, typically heavily in bed with the gov whose incentives aren’t aligned. Telco, domestic automakers, insurance come to mind initially.

There is also a corporate greed, which is leaking into tech with commoditization, problem in America where fewer and fewer companies treat their employees as assets and rather treat them as cogs. People are loosing their tolerance.

Use ravio on io’s, lets you copy, backup and duplicate them to other places.

Key fob and the recovery method works for vehicles because it also requires physical access and knowing where that specific car is. It’s very easy for somebody to steal a specific car, even high end luxury car without after market mods if they can get to it.

This doesn’t work for the internet because anyone can access the target from anywhere.

We already do this to a degree with trusted CA centralization and there are recorded incidents (pretty frequently) of major breaches and state actors posing as various entities.

The stakes are also different, stealing a car is hard to do when it has physical security and has physical consequences. It’s also not worth a whole lot after because it’s hot. Stealing somebody’s identity is worth a whole lot more, hard to if even possible recover from and can be done remotely from anywhere.

I think centralization around brokers is a terrible idea. Look at Equifax, the audit after revealed it was only a matter of time before somebody utilized the multiple gaping completely negligent holes they had. The resulting fine for leaking every man, woman, and child’s ssn, birthdate, address, and drivers license was the equivalent of a few dollars to them.

Biometrics don’t require consent. Just hold up a friends phone towards their face.

I just opened a ticket with notion on mobile and plan on switching because I can’t use it for simple notes. This is the amount of steps it takes to login and you have to do it all the time:

* unlock your phone * tap notion * you're logged out - avoid the big login with x sso buttons, scan for and click the little text that's black on black labeled "login here with email" * type my email out (no autofill) * tap submit * exit app, open mail * find the notion email, usually it's right there other times, you must refresh constantly, sometimes it takes whole minutes because it's email * highlight as much of the password as you are able but not all of it because you can't due to the dashes * adjust highlighted text while holding down long enough to pop up the copy context window or memorize a cute phrase with dashes and type it out without making a mistake, 3 taps a dash (x4) because mobile keyboard layering * hit copy, exit app, open notion * press and hold in the textbox for the paste window or type it out * finally hit paste and submit * remember what you were trying to do quickly

Now add slow or glitchy(5g+) internet and it doesn’t work.

Even if you wanted to tie yourself permanently to an sso provider, a lot of the time, they too require re auth. If you have 2fa on (as you should) that's as many steps. The push for sso is also incredibly annoying. I’ve nearly deplatformed very intentionally.

Notion does a lot of funky things like refuse to build and offline mode which exacerbates this.

One other thing I don’t like about “passwordless” is biometric as a security feature instead of it as a convenience. 1Password removed passcode unlock on mobile in favor of faceid. Which if you don’t use it results in entering your full long password every time you use it, even if you just used it. Apparently I wasn’t the only one that complained because they restored the feature shortly after removing it. I unlock my friends phones while they are driving with faceid all the time. Too easy, not secure enough for the app that has most of my secrets.

Use 2fa, local passcodes that require reauth occasionally, and assume you are running on a locked device, if logging in from a new place maybe 3fa like Coinbase.

This is not a direct decision of valve. There are lots of people working on games but the company is privately held, democratically vote driven where they don’t fire anyone. I’m pretty sure it’s relatively small staff compared to other modern gaming studios these days.

The gaming industry pc is the largest it’s ever been and growing. Look at subreddit growth for r/pcmasterrace and the popularity and growth of discord as a platform. Pro Pc Esports is also growing, has more watchers every week than the Super Bowl and dominates consoles.

It's actually the opposite imo. With polarizing events like some people will indeed dislike her greatly and judge her for it but others who agree with her position will rally behind her and go out of their way to hire her. As long as there are people in her camp, she has likely received an outcry of support and multiple interview requests with likely some leadership opportunities.

She was on a ramp aka training then started in q4 during holiday season. New sales don't sell first quarter. She isn't selling lemonade, she is selling deals worth 10s of thousands.

It's not worth it. If you need to scale and you try with server less it will bankrupt you.

If you don't need to scale then great but why are you building it instead of buying it or using qi or whatever.

Nope. This is laughably out of touch -" I don't understand how certain people don't think like I do so they must be irrational." If unions were structured differently, there would be more incentives. People at large, in group form are much more rationale then academics want to give credit, they are simply following the incentives in their life and attempting to do what's best for themselves. Unions in the US are not very incentivising.

In the us, the way laws are written, unions are a political entity and basically from inception are in bed with the government. This creates a mismatch of incentives as the union is motivated to operate politically and this is reflected internally because that's how power is derived externally and thus internally. This creates a lot of odd things like the local foreman who manages the house is doing so because he has been around for 20 years or because he is friends with the guy who has been around for 20 years or because he bought in with millions to be that guy not because they are the right people for the job.

Because of these legal protections and structures unions don't have to compete against other unions and they don't have to compete for the workers membership either. For example the IATSE gets a cut of your work if you work in the industry because that's legally mandated even if you aren't a member. This encourages unions to become bloated, and self serving and it's not immediately clear their value add. Just like elsewhere in society top down structures begin to appear where a few people at the top of the union get most of the pie.

Workers are hesitate to involve themselves with unions here because they are yielding agency to a political machine in a fairly permanent way.

Don't forget some of the cons and headlines around unions here either. Some of the unions using violence, like the teamsters, here to gain power. Teachers unions trying to keep bloated headcounts in empty (by half) schools in Chicago nearly bankrupting the city. Police unions protecting their members despite obvious misconduct. Lots of police/fireman/city unions keep garenteeing investment return rates that aren't in line with the market that eventually bankrupt the city.

If the legal freedom and incentives were there people would do it, but this system is by design.

I am a soft engineer but have remained a iatse card holder.

It's more like you have total agency and the burdens that come with that. To each their own!

It's intentional. Sometines roles have to be unfulfilled for a year before they can bring somebody in.

TSMC saying there aren't trained locals to work in their factory is laughable. They don't want to deal with American labor standards.

Another thing I've run into is fake postings to fulfill h1b requirements. I don't fully understand the requirements but sometimrs companies have to have attempted to fill a role for a year before they can bring in somebody else.

I interviewed with a Company recently that was American based but 90% of management and staff as far as I could tell were Indian. The hr rep on the opening screen call was overly hostile and skeptical. It was clear he hadn't actually read my resume until the meeting and then proceed to try to poke holes in my resume. Made subtlety rude comments throughout the whole thing. It felt like I was being provoked or neged.

I think outside of glass door reviews there is little to no accountability for companies during this process.

I started recording (single party state) all my interviews with monosnap and automatic call recording via ringcentral. I've been thinking of making a blog post with a highlights reel.

Yes

Wish they would you know go after congress for the consistent and blatant insider trading violations but nah gotta protect the consumers from themselves.

Do you? You are likely in violation a lot more than you realize.

They also haven't been clear or consistent.
