Fwiw most leases are a 60-day notice to terminate residency in CA, at least the ones for my tenants- I think that is pretty standard in the California Apartment Association. Also many counties in CA have renter protections in place so only just cause evictions.

But still, it's always good to have 6 months of backup emergency funds!

The difference between a work/residence permit, and merely registering ones address, is very significant.

EU citizens have the right to work in other EU countries by treaty. It can only be withdrawn in exceptional cases. They can also travel to other countries to look for work, and stay for as long as they can support themselves (I think) and are looking for work.

Non-EU citizens do not have the right to work in EU countries, it is only granted in (less) exceptional cases. A work/residence permit application typically requires a job offer. It can expire or be withdrawn, is often linked to a particular employer, and usually has limitations compared to EU citizens -- for example, not getting unemployment benefits, or state healthcare.

Argh. That must feel frustrating & demoralizing. Are you working full time at the factory? Are you working on a project on the side to help lift yourself out of the situation? How do you keep your spirits up? (If it were me, I think that situation would weigh down my self esteem - hanging out with friends would be very important to me to stay upbeat.)

I agree that motivation by fear isn't a good thing & doesn't work for everyone. The times I was most fearful, I found the fear & anxiety paralyzing and I wasn't productive at all.

Being young is good. Things can change quickly - you never know where you'll be in 5 years, 2 years, even next year. I wish you good luck!
(Disclosure: I donate to the new basic income charity, which I started when I found a way to do it from Australia).

https://www.givedirectly.org/ is the website, and the homepage answers a lot of questions.

> tracking spending habits could be construed as a condition of receiving subsequent installments and thus change the recipients' behavior into what they think GD wants them to spend it on, rather than what they'd actually want to spend it on.

I agree that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics) is probably true, but the the question is really hard to answer or put in perspective because "what I want to spend money on" changes based on lots of factors, not least of which is the amount received.

It is also likely that getting three payments changes the spending from receiving a single payment, which would be different to the spending from GD's latest program, https://www.givedirectly.org/basic-income, a test to "... scientifically test the idea of a universal basic income by providing regular cash payments to thousands of extremely poor households in East Africa for more than ten years."

There are sooooooo many questions about cash transfers, and given the almost complete lack of administrative costs - $0.91 in every dollar ending up in a poor person's hand is insane - they are all worth investigating. Your question is likely item 9,999 on that list :)

As an example of the questions that need an answer, one I found interesting was this: https://www.givedirectly.org/blog-post?id=334321986851653361...

> In Uganda and Rwanda more than 96% of eligible recipients have opted in, respectively.
> ... In July 2015 we entered Homa Bay, a new county and our first venture outside of Siaya. In Homa Bay and the neighboring areas, roughly 45% of the households we speak with decline to be enrolled into the program.

It is amazing that people will give up free money, and shows the lengths GD goes to investigate the problems surrounding cash transfers.
Completely agree. An SDK with advertising that led to revenue for the developers would have been a major boon.... and potentially unlocked a lot of innovative ideas and approaches.

Did you ever try running 5 ZK's in the ensemble? 3 is the absolute minimum to survive a single machine failure. If you are having trouble with availability, it seems natural to increase your safety factor there.

I was surprised by the contrasting sense of importance of delivery guarantees in the article. At the start, losing a message was akin to the death of a child. At the end, shrug. Now every single machine failure (or even ømq process restart) failure will lose you log messages stored in memory :(.

Glad to hear you found a solution that worked for you though! Would love to hear about difficulties you had with the new system, in particular adding brokers.
Sounds about right. Great opportunity for wireless, though - If there's line of sight along that 200ft you could put up a wireless link for ~$2-3k and get fiber speeds to the whole complex.
wow you sure dream big. i would not know anything about joining a big four tech company. but it seems like you went up from system administration to developer. congrats on that. I think you have worked hard and you are doing very well for yourself. Of course learning to get better at interviews is going to yield results sooner or later. So keep doing that. there will be one day when somebody gives you an offer at a higher salary because of this.

I don't know whether joining the creme de la creme of the industry is possible for somebody who has some trouble with algorithms and the like. it seems a pretty essential differentiator. I'm not very quick when problems get harder as well. But you know whatever. i still eat and i own my home.

Most of the people listed in this article aren't politicians, and so can't enact any laws. And even when they are politicians, it looks like they are almost always retired politicians, who can't enact any laws.

Some of them are even counter-establishment figures like satirists and even hackers (in the security sense).

Hillary Clinton is a prominent example, but the article's explanation is that she is invited as a retired secretary of state, as other retired secretaries of state have been, rather than as a current presidential candidate, which seems reasonable.

'it's a great law' doesn't even make sense in your sentence. What's a great law? Bribing people? Bribing people isn't lawful.
> That is, what would it cost to buy someone in the US that same result?

That's really hard to compare, because very few people in the first world don't have a working roof (https://www.givedirectly.org/operating-model: We target households using criteria that vary by region—including aggregating a range of factors or looking at housing materials & https://www.givedirectly.org/blog-post.html?id=2845341784910...).

Lets use the figures from the operating model page: "The average recipient in Kenya lives on just 65 cents (nominal) per day" - so a cash injection of $1,000 is 1,538 days @ $0.065 - or about 4 years. If it is a family of four, $1,000 is a year's worth of expenses for the whole family.

That's probably a fair measure of what this represents - a year's salary for a family of four.

As a cash injection, it also allows for large purchases, e.g. to spend a few hundred on a roof. So each payment is the equivalent in the US of enough cash to buy, say, a car?
They said availability was "death of a child", not dropping log messages. The trade-off they've made here in terms of being available with some potential loss of visibility is the right one. The system overall is clearly simpler and simpler systems have simpler failure modes and so it is easier to add mitigation components on top that can recover from those failure modes to guarantee higher uptime.

I've never heard anyone say managing a production Kafka cluster was easy or simple. Well, anyone who has had to actually maintain such clusters hasn't said it anyway.
The Tesla powerwall is currently $3000[1]. There are installation costs etc on top of that of course though.

Solar is separate - I'm talking about charging the battery from the grid.

Brownouts are expensive, but so is the cost of making sure they don't happen. Peaker plants cost more than $10m/year without even turning them on[2]. There are over 40 in California[3] currently available. Hopefully they don't all cost $10M each to keep available, but it doesn't take many years to surpass that $10B cost...

The only other data point I have to add is that a year or two ago, The Motley Fool published a breathless blog post announcing that 3D printing was about to destroy Chinese manufacturing, and that everyone should invest in companies that make 3D printers or CAD software.

"Simply abandoning costal property" and "rezoning" on a global scale is already going to be a far worse impact on what we consider today as modern life, than any realistic actions against CO2 would have been. We are talking about moving hundreds of millions of people. Sure that is entirely possible, but tell that to people who seem to be scared of helping a million Syrian war refugees.

Fortunately, with recent progress in renewal energies, achieving a massive reduction in CO2 emissions does not require hardship, just a larger investment program (which will pay even off long time for most countries, due to no more money drained from the economy for oil). This investment would be comparable to the building of the US highway network in the 50ies and 60ies. Long term it was a huge boost to the American economy.
I can only suggest you change your situation for the better. I don't have a perfect answer for how, of course, but consider:

- moving state or abroad, to somewhere less pressured and competitive

- changing industry, at a push, if there's anything else you like to do

- working remotely for less salary but hopefully less stress

On that point you are correct.

US combines the worst of two worlds in so many ways.

Sweden at least does "socialism" correct in some areas.
Of course there is more to life. That's my entire point. I want to be an actively engaged member of the team, rather than a peon. I want to value the work I do and the people I work with. But there's the rub. Being an active, committed, engaged member of the team shouldn't equate to giving away the one thing of value I have — my time — for nothing.

When you ask me to work for free you are making me a peon — someone of low worth whose time and effort aren't worth paying for. Someone who you don't respect enough to give them fair recompense for their work.

It would be absurd for me to demand that my employer gives me five hours of extra pay for doing nothing because otherwise I can't afford something that's of meaningful value to me. It's equally absurd for an employer to demand that I give them something they value – my work — in return for nothing.

A company is not a charity — it's a cooperative venture that exists to generate value for its owners. Every bit of work you do for the company is to generate value for someone else. I'm not going to work so that someone else benefits and I get nothing. I think any other view is either a manipulative management technique or a delusion.
Absolutely - if you want to "learn containers" I would start with Docker for Windows (that creates a tiny Linux VM) for a less painful start.

However if Windows is core to your workflow.. check out this from my fellow Docker Captain:

And the installation procedure for Windows Containers:

> I can solve most problems correctly given enough time

Have you tried asking in advance of an interview for a few extra hours to do the task(s)? I think this is a totally reasonable request to make ahead of time. Plus, any company that thinks a hard time limit is necessary to evaluate your skills is not going to be worth working for.
My issue with Gatsby, after maybe 5 or 6 attempts at reading it, was that I could never bring myself to give a damn about ANY of the characters. It found it impossible to relate to any single one of them, and thus couldn't bring myself to care about what happened to them either.

I felt the same way about the Bell Jar. About halfway through I tossed my hands some up exclaiming "just walk into traffic and get it over with already". I couldn't possibly care about that character either. Never went back to finish it.

1984 had some disturbing beauty, and I did find myself concerned and caring. Pretty sure I read it twice by the time I was in my mid twenties.
Uber takes $1.55 off the top for a booking fee and then 28% of the remaining fare. On a short trip it ends up being about 50% of the total. Of course they don't tell you that when they advertise that drivers make $19/hr (in fares). Lyft charges the same $1.55 fee and takes 25%.
> if you're not solely poking at the grandparent commenter's having confused 'supine' with 'prone'

In my experience, people commonly use "lie prone" to mean basically any position, but nobody knows the word "supine" except in its technical meaning contrasting with "prone". Thus, I thought this was worth clarifying; I'd be happy to assume that someone using "prone" in a context that heavily suggested another position just didn't think of "prone" as referring to any position in particular; that seemed like an odd assumption for "supine".

Do you have a suggestion for wording the question so as not to sound insulting?
I am torn. On the one hand, I agree with a lot of the criticism. But in other places, it just becomes plain anti-intellectual.
The reason people typically don't include Apple is because they are diversified out of software, whereas Google/FB/Amazon/MS are all software tech companies.

This isn't exactly a strong line though, since all are at least diversified into things outside software.

Nevertheless, that was the original reasoning.
