Yes, I think that companies should be obligated to pay for employees that they thought they wanted or needed and then changed their minds, just because they're a big company and it'd be inconvenient for the employee. I don't believe they need to be obligated to pay indefinitely, but I do believe that they need to pay some generous severance period.

I am not sure how to explain this POV. I think it's good for society as a whole and good for people, and that's what I'm looking for in laws and government. What do you look for in laws?

I believe, similarly, that landlords should be obligated to rent out properties that they thought they wanted to rent out and then changed their minds on, just because it'd be inconvenient for the renter, for some generous period in which the renter can look for new housing. I don't believe that a landlord should be legally able to say "Good morning, I'm tired of renting, move out." My apartment is on a yearly lease, and either party needs to give about two months' notice if we want to not renew the lease for another year. That seems like a good thing, and rents are sky-high in my area and the market is very vibrant, so it's clearly not making landlords unwilling to participate in the market. Is this POV comprehensible to you?

In that same letter, Musk wrote, "we grew by 30% last year, which is more than we can support". I think that it is good for society and good for people and good for companies and good for investors for companies to be careful and intentional about hiring.

Are there any evidence-based efforts to monitor, diagnose these at an age where it was previously thought to be too early to have an heart attack? (Calcium score? CT scan?)

Most other diseases that killed vast populations at this age have been resolved or worked around, so looks like we are looking at one of the last remaining killer dieases.. would love to strap on Apple Android whatever devices if it will help diagnose or monitor such patterns.
> Actually for many people they feel trapped because they’d like a LITTLE more space, ie. the Victorian townhome, but they specifically DO NOT want a car or a yard and do not want to leave the historic, walkable city. At that point you’re really screwed because outside of SF there is basically nothing else walkable west of the Mississippi. So there’s nowhere to go.

There are a few other big cities on the west coast, and many of them have towns or small cities nearby that have walkable centers.
What is AI?
You’re assuming the friendly conversation doesn’t have a structure that shows viable experience. Get somebody to geek out in detail about something they worked on and you’ll be able to tell very quickly if this person legitimately knows their stuff or not. You also have to be able to translate and validate this type of conversation though.

You think that he was coincidentally laid off for some unrelated purpose on the same day as HR was busy laying off 7% of their employees? That they didn't schedule it for one day before or after?

I don't know, you're right, but this is highly improbable.
Work from anywhere is a fairly powerful lever. You can reduce taxes and cost of living extensively and still be able to save the same amount of money in the bank and have the same amount discretionary income. I estimate something from a %30-%40 'discount'.
The negativity here is saddening. So what if it is for PR? How many other companies are doing these things even for that? Isn't it eventually promoting AI projects that have at least some social good in their objectives?
> It's got its downsides, but so does at-will employment.

On the other hand, the downsides of at-will employment are basically solved by having unemployment insurance.

> So have it kick in once you hire N employees or make more than $M in revenue.

The trouble with this is well demonstrated by the instant case -- Tesla has lots of employees and revenue but also major operating costs. It's more likely that a large company can absorb x% in overhead than a small one, but that doesn't mean it's always the case. And it doesn't help anybody for 100% of the employees to lose their jobs instead of 7%.

A great book that will help with posture, including fixing pelvic tilt, is 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back by Esther Gokhale [1].

The author traveled around the world and looked through history to find out if we always had such terrible posture. It turns out that industrialized societies put a large emphasis on good posture up until the early 20th century. Even today, great posture can be found in less-industrialized cultures.

The Gokhale method has been a game-changer for many, even though it flies in the face of a lot of modern theories about designing furniture and "good" posture. I've personally met people with arthritis and lower back problems who were able to reduce pain and prevent further damage with this book.

> if you want to go down the route that nothing is falsifiable

It's not me going down that route, it's the flat-earthers.

> Probably still you think Scientology and the Book of Mormon are "dumber" than flat earth theory simply because they sound weirder to you

No. You are raising a straw man here. It has nothing to do with dumbness (though I do admit I find some aspects of Mormonism and many aspects of Scientlology to be pretty dumb.) Nearly all religions are "easily" proven false simply by the overwhelming evidence that there is no afterlife, that mind is a function of brain, and when the brain dies, the mind dies with it. That's for a "generic" religion with no specific claims about the nature of the afterlife, whether or not there are deities, etc. etc. Scientology and Mormonism (to cite but two of many noteworthy examples) go on to make many more specific false claims, each one of which makes the theory easier to debunk.

But of course this is not going to convince anyone who adheres to a religion, which is my whole point. There really is no difference. Religion and flat-eartherism both have equal scientific tenability (i.e. zero). People adhere to these beliefs for other reasons. And in both cases, those reasons are not entirely illegitimate.
Huh? I was saying a FAANG salary in Columbus Ohio (for exame) probably buys you a car free lifestyle with the style of home you want, especially if you have a working spouse.
First of all, SF doesn't really qualify. How many live in a neighborhood where their workplace, medical, grocery, and social needs are all walkable to/from?

Car-ownership-hostile != "walkable". Using Lyft/Uber isn't "walking".

Anyway, as to your question: parts of Sacramento, Auburn, Carson City, Eugene, Bend, and Boise all qualify, and that'slimiting to cities I know firsthand. Other cities that I hear this from others include Salem, SLC, ...

Much depends on what you consider to be "normal adult lifestyle". If one's definition of that includes walking through waste and needles to the Folsom St. Fair, SF probably does have a monopoly there.

Wait, how do you determine this criterion? Take, for example, Trump's tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods. Retaliatory tariffs by China have made Tesla's cars far more expensive. That's not Tesla whimsically changing its mind about its employees, that's the financial and global politically situation rapidly changing.

You think Elon Musk is morally obligated to pay for employees Tesla can no longer afford because Trump pulled the rug out from under him?
> the stock Python 3 shipped for CentOS 7.

What package are you referring to? As I understand it there is no "stock" Python 3 in CentOS 7. There is just what you can get from secondary repos, like EPEL, SCL, and IUS. Those repos now have 3.6 available.

Its not wrong unless the contract specifically says being laid off as exception.
I read the wife's thread as not being upset that he's laid off (although I'm sure she's not happy about it), but being upset about the _manner_ in which he was laid off: e.g. short notice, being escorted out, bonuses not being paid, NDAs requested, etc.

I agree that it's hard to judge those items without knowing the details of his offer letter, the terms of the bonuses, etc.

This law would be known to Tesla when they hired those 7% of employees in the first place. They'd take it into account when deciding if they could afford to hire them. They'd know that their budgets for 2019 would include some non-negotiable salary costs.

And of course it is possible for any company to make short-sighted decisions that result in bankruptcy. Hiring too many people and being obligated to pay them is just one of several; if we're worried about companies going bankrupt and that being bad for ... employees? investors? society? ... then we should prevent them from making all kinds of bad decisions, not just from having to employ people.

This reply applies to several here.

I know a few architects (as in for buildings and civil structures) who wouldn't be able to pour a foundation, frame a wall, or run plumbing properly. They're working at a different level of abstraction and are concerned with different problems.

Or to put it another way, if you can code does that mean you should be able to design a CPU, even a very basic one? After all, how can you write a program if you don't understand how it works at the instruction, transistor, etc level?
There are 4 problems that need to be solved: translation, rotation, reflection and dilation. Capsule networks are potentially one way to do that.

> You still have to make the distinction between techies and "the rest of us"

The language you use for this is important because it shapes the way you think about the difference. The way it is often phrased is in the form of "we're special, better, smarter, people than those dumb people who have no hope of understanding the arcane magicks we are naturally attune to". Which is of course bull. We have specialized knowledge and familiarity from spending years working with this stuff. That's it.

> [UNIX]... seems to say "Oh, you don't belong to the super-secret cabal of users who know these arcane commands? Fuck you, then!"

It seems to say that because that's exactly what UNIX says. They don't even name commands sensibly, not even in 2019. Discoverability basically doesn't exist.

There’s a reason google doesn’t hire into L7, it’s because their hiring process for algorithms is garbage and provides lots of false positives and negatives when you are looking for real skills.

If saying “I don’t know” and being good at algorithms was enough, you could hire straight to L7 easily or could promote to in a year. Neither of these things happen.

Which OS and file system did you choose?

IHMO you're comparing two different selection processes.

The process you tried was to spend loads of time on carefully designed interview questions which then get used to filter out candidates.

The OP was not suggesting this approach, but instead suggested engaging in a friendly conversation about technical interests and recent projects.

I can see why the first approach might fail, only because it isn't that difficult to memorize several answers for well know questions and topics.

However, to hold a conversation on a particular topic would require a greater depth of knowledge, so I can see how this would be much harder to fake.

I suspect the second approach is a lot like how police catch people out who are lying. As number of lies grow it just gets harder and harder for the individual to keep all the lies consistent and coherent.

> My apartment is on a yearly lease, and either party needs to give about two months' notice if we want to not renew the lease for another year.

But then how is the problem not already being solved through contract law without needing anything separate?

And sometimes you don't want that, e.g. you may have to stay in a hotel for an indeterminate period of time because your house was damaged by a storm, but still want be able to check out whenever you want instead of having to give two months notice.

> That seems like a good thing, and rents are sky-high in my area and the market is very vibrant, so it's clearly not making landlords unwilling to participate in the market.

Rents being sky-high actually is a sign that landlords are unwilling to participate in the market, but it's more likely caused by restrictive zoning (causing new construction to be unwilling/unable to participate in the market) than some kind of lease requirements that may or may not exist there.

There should be courses to fix HR. The candidates already know what they need to do and would get hired if not for the endless bullshit.
In the US there often is a formal probationary period at larger companies which mainly accomplishes one thing: reduce the HR red tape if a new hire isn't working out. During the probationary period it's generally easier to make a case (i.e. little or no documentation needed) that 'they're not working out' and HR will be OK with it vs. after the probationary period, you typically have to 'document' them out of the company.
But the reality is the patients don't understand the numbers, and in the OPs case a % risk doesn't mean much if it happens to you.

They are guessing based on memory and emotion. The industry is primitive. There may be relevant research published that could help your specific case but they will never see it. When they leave the room they aren't going back to the office to start Googling and thinking about what additional data to collect to diagnose and solve the problem. They are going to see the next patient and will not think about you again. If your problem isn't obvious or catastrophic, you are SOL.
