I think there's a piece that some people are overlooking. There are very specific statutory protections about when, where, and how you have a right to organize.

Things that would likely require legal review and Google has the budget to test the waters of at this point.

The last clause in the link below pertains to this scenario, I think, which may bite Google. Or it may not because it all depends on case law and what union leadership is willing to push back on (which could take years to sort out via legal proceedings)

Really, at the end of the day all Google has to risk via this kind of behavior is some lawyer time, setting precedent, and potentially being required to post a notice if they end up losing.

Working time is for work, so your employer may maintain and enforce non-discriminatory rules limiting solicitation and distribution, except that your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about or soliciting for a union during non-work time, such as before or after work or during break times; or from distributing union literature during non-work time, in non-work areas, such as parking lots or break rooms. Also, restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.

Agreed, but it's pretty clear this was a legacy app that for reasons unknown, wasn't worth a rewrite.

Wouldn't this be a transformation or an independent work of sorts? If I drew a sketch of the same bust, wouldn't I have the copyright to my sketch?

I don't see why the 3d scan wouldn't be considered similar.

If I don't do business in Turkey, and I pay for the clicks, I should easily be able to exclude Turkey (without having to write a blog post and consult an inside source that most could never reach)

There was an HN article recently linked that talked about one of those religious based charities. They hired the women on as house cleaners, paid minimum wage, deducted room and board. The poor matriarch of the program had to "deal" with the profits from the cheap labor and fund raising.

One could make the same argent about mill or mining work. Maybe even the military? I don't think the adult entertainment industry averages 22 suicides a day.

But those professions are OK because they're reputable?

Two of my last 3 positions have been a recruiter reaching out to me via LinkedIn.

75% of my attempts to find my own via job applications result in no response (your stats are better than mine), with zero feedback at one point or another (ghosting).

If you're not using recruiters, you should be. The discussion you get let's you sell yourself a little better than you can with a paper application only, and they often have additional info you won't find in the job descriptions

When you move to a new country with the intent to reside and don't follow the law in regards to entry, you're an illegal immigrant.

It doesn't matter that you were allowed in legally; per the law he was expected to depart and he did not.

Does that still apply even if they're not a Canadian citizen, and not in Canada legally?

I'd think there would be a point where they might say "not my problem, not getting involved"

Exactly. The article doesn't clarify whether the prints matched multiple people, or the man had given false names and info to multiple countries/systems which might never have been cross-referenced before

One could give false info to Border Patrol and county or state police here in the US and not be caught in certain circumstances. Especially if we're talking about encounters going back a few years or more.

Needs more info

I'm not sure if I think personalization would fix it. When I was on Facebook, I received one or two MLM offers. If Reddit is to be believed, this is actually a prevalent practice.

You'd go from anonymous reviews to seeing which of your "friends" are more interested in a shitty side hustle (e.g. there would still be.the kind of gaming noted in the article)

These appear to be different than "smart TVs" which offer Roku built-in as an optional app

Instead of spending all this time writing an article and on.the phone, they should have returned it and got another brand of TV

I didn't get a discount on my stadia preorder, purchased in July. Of course, it hasn't shipped yet either and the originals release/delivery date was supposed to be the 19th iirc.

2.3M trips / 7300 users / 30 days is more than 10 trips per day.

When I took the bus in DC, each trip was 45-75 minutes long (12 mile route, during peak traffic) not counting wait times. Zero transfers.

Who has time for 10 bus trips, plus wait times, per day?

That's a good analogy, I think of it as more of a key. It will open doors that aren't otherwise available.

One might also argue a degree in Journalism or English is better than teaching yourself to write persuasive arguments by blogging

Vim has plugins that seem to address most of what you note.

Nerdtree gives you see semblance of a graphical UI. I rarely use it since installing fzf and getting better at using buffers. It's much, much easier to press a shortcut and type a partial name. I use Nerdtree when I need to browse the hierarchy. I also previously had ranger integrated into vim which is really nice

Vim has tons of user extensions. Yeah, the package managers aren't great UI but I use vim awesome website to browse and a plug-in install is a simple copy paste of 1 line.

Using tabnine with vim has been really great for autocomplete. It's probably not as good as vs code but it's good enough for me.

Peek at implementation is available via ctags. Configuration can admittedly be a bear but I have a shortcut to jump to the method definition under the cursor that works pretty well.

I'm using neovim which is usually fast and responsive. Some things like folding and syntax highlighting aren't great in certain conditions but you can write scripts to disable those things in those conditions (file name, and probably size even)

I've tried to switch away from vim but the extensibility is better than any other editor I've looked at. Neovim + tmux makes me feel pretty productive

My God, It Never Loads

Edit: it did finally load. Its an interesting article and worth the wait, I thought

Since Luma is defunct I don't mind straight up telling you.. we were paying a lot of money for positive reviews in order to make our rating match up with Eero's.

I can't help but feel that in addition to being unethical, this might also be illegal. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2017/03/los-a...

That's a slippery slope.... /s

I hope it's something the parents can opt out of

After reading about the actions he took (depositing employees 401k contributions to his account, setting up fake workstations, etc) I'm surprised it was only 7 years.

The workers paid their own H1B fees which should have been a red flag to them.

If you work with anyone who isn't remote, you're going to get left out of things and find it more difficult to communicate.

- They don't have the right equipment (e.g use built in mic in an open office)

- They won't want to use the tools the remote team uses (e.g. rarely on slack, prefer email for async communication)

We don't address them so much as we power thru them.

I haven't tried this yet, but I like your pricing model more than the others I've looked at.

I tried cake resume a while ago and while it was nice-ish, they wanted to sign up for a $7.95-$15.95/mo recurring charge (I feel like it was even closer to $20 a last time I looked?)

It must be nice to pay $115/year to get a million gallons of water per day. This is a significantly better deal than we're getting under JEA, our single available utility company here in our area of Jacksonville.

Our water bills include a $30/month connection fee for tap water, a $30/month connection fee for reclaimed water (lawn and yard), $15/month for sewer, and a tiered water system that puts you in the $250+/month (total) range to water a relatively standard size lot plus provide water for a family of 3.

If our HOA didn't prohibit it, I'd drill a well.

This could certainly benefit from a heavier tax, considering their 91.4B in revenue

The 20% employee discount must certainly help. That almost evens out the markup on all their products over regular grocery store prices.

Would be nice if you could do a single session without signing up, even if it didn't track over time

Most of the commentary I've seen about dark mode is how less readable it is, for whatever reason.

Anecdotally, dark mode on slack appears more difficult to read than light mode, at least in a well lit room. I couldn't use it for very long.

I didn't mean this as a criticism of Ruby, either. I'm a Ruby/Rails dev and still enjoy the language, even if it feels like it's fallen out of favor

Among the other criticisms, Ruby hasn't been hip for a while. Bootcamps started offering nodejs, meetups are more diverse, fewer conference topics on Ruby. One major local conference had such low attendence last year they were going to cancel it this year.

It's a very low quality post.

I don't see quite as many ruby jobs today but they're still out there.

Ruby has been very focused on increasing performance the past few years. A few major teams ran away from Rails because it's really easy to build functional things in Rails that won't scale, which gets attributed back to Ruby performance. I think that was enough to scare people away from using ruby at all

GitHub and Shopify both use Rails, among many others.
