First things first: why do you "have" to work nights? Are you getting paid a fair hourly rate for this overtime?

Would anything materially bad happen if you just stop and dial back the hours to whatever you contractually agreed to?

This might depend upon what other alternatives you have for work.

I've worked in companies where management explicitly and structurally decide to always have more work in the pipeline than employees have capacity to deliver. That's a reasonable business decision. It doesn't mean that you're automatically required to work unpaid overtime. Whoever owns the company might be delighted if you do start providing them with a bunch of free labour, but not delighted enough to pay you fairly for it.

As another commenter has pointed out, the three PMs sounds like a bit of a red flag. You could instead be receiving a single stream of prioritised tasks, where all three PMs and other relevant stakeholders have hashed out the priorities.

You might find the earlier discussion of late projects, negotiation, estimation helpful:

> Work expands to exceed your capacity for stress.

> If you can, take an unplanned mental health day. I’ve emailed my boss and cow-orkers at 5:30 in the morning, saying “Hey, it’s gonna be a beautiful day, and I’m going to spend it on two wheels in the mountains instead of pushing buttons in my stall.” Come back refreshed and grinning and try not to make them feel too bad.

E.g.

What do you do that's unrelated to your work that you enjoy in your life? For me personal, physically exercise -- jogging, cycling --- is both enjoyable and helps me maintain mental and physical health, especially during periods of stress, with related or otherwise.

If you can, try increasing the amount of time you spend on non work activities that you enjoy, as you dial back your hours given to the company.

Edit: if things are particularly bad you may be able to recognise your situation as something like this:

They have attempted to weasel out of even saying that:

"the previous Q2 estimate is now confirmed for Q3 product shipping"

as if to say that the product, which isn't ready yet, has shipped in the future. Such mangling of logic doesn't inspire confidence in me that it will actually ship in Q3.
I know that naming things is hard but... the chances this isn't mistaken for being somehow related to delta airlines is nearly 0. The fact that this chat has nothing to do with delta (i.e. difference calculation) but seems to just be using delta to say "We're different" seems like an atrocious business decision.
Terrestrial radio is also reasonably location targeted. Can’t really do that with podcasts, at least not with any sort of reliability.
This sounds like a non-issue.

> Facebook allowed The Times to target ads to users Facebook has determined are interested in Goebbels, the Third Reich’s chief propagandist, Himmler, the architect of the Holocaust and leader of the SS, and Mengele, the infamous concentration camp doctor who performed human experiments on prisoners. Each category included hundreds of thousands of users.

If i make a documentary about goebbels' life i shouldn't be able to advertise it? How about even selling it? I think this is crossing the line of fake outrage.

Making Profits on the Captive Prison Market (2016)
More like a 2M house and a 120K car. 500K/year isn't enough to live in a 10M house because it's 20 years of work (30, accounting for other expenses) and that assumes no cut in income. To get into a 10M house one needs to start a very successful business, which is quite possible after all the experience at such a job.
The libertarian answer is "to let the market decide" and walk with their pocketbook / talk with their wallet. That is all fine in theory but the theory doesn't address what happens when there is only a single dominant player. For example, if I "walk away with my wallet" on my cable tv provider, i'm done -- there is only one provider.

The distinction is usually painfully obvious to people who understand the field.

But, in this case, Holmes wouldn't pivot to more reasonable products that fit into her vision. It looks like her scientists did rather excellent work and made great incremental improvements in the blood testing field. Had she capitalized on those improvements; we'd see her as a success story.
How about Mastodon? [1] It's free, open source, and federated like email.

Damned right. This guy is on the money. Power to our future.
Lots of historians are interested in Nazis. As are many people that follow politics. Who cares?
Really though? Advertising supported multi-billion dollar industries for decades without mining our personal info. Just because they can doesn't mean they have to. If companies want to advertise to Facebook's hundreds of millions of users, they will do so without targeting if that's their only option.

10x Performance Gain by Partitioning Hive Tables to Read from Alluxio vs. S3
I've been in a similar position as you for most of my life. One weird aspect: employers/managers/companies have come to rely on you "needing" the pay cheque as a powerful motivator and control. When you can literally walk away from a job because you don't need the money to make your end of month payments it makes the relationship weird in some aspects. I don't even know if the party who traditionally holds this power consciously realizes it, but in my experience they seem to exhibit less confidence or willingness to play the "because I own you" card. It could also just be that I come across as less of a push-over and they respond accordingly. Regardless, interesting phenomenon...
Answer is of course, "Depends" - but 50% is perfectly possible.

Stock options are not counted as income. They are exactly that: Stock options. Your income is your take-home pay, specifically gross pay on your stub extrapolated to annual salary.

Yes, there is capital income from stocks and other market investments, but appreciation for those comes under capital gains, which are calculated (and taxed) separately, and don’t count as employment income, for good reason: You can’t use stock options vesting in 4 years to buy food tomorrow or pay mortgage next month.
And, if your friends are anything like mine, only a small fraction would be willing to pay, making it a pretty lousy social network.
If it makes enough money for the company to sustain itself, then I feel like that's good enough for what OP is looking for. Not everything needs to be about continued growth of profits.
TL;DR as far as I can tell is:

Each theory is pretty much based on a previous theory, with some aspect of the previous theory removed to make the theory a better assumption of reality.
- A really cool example of this a scientist named Laplace presenting his work to Napoleon about the origins of the solar system. Previously, it was believed that God was involved somehow but his theory didn't include God. When Napoleon asked why God wasn't included, he said "I had no need for that hypothesis".

Einstein's equations are a pretty good way to explaining things but they break down in certain situations, just like Newton's equations did and Einstein's equations are really just Newton's equations extrapolated a bit more.

Scientists are now discovering ways of explaining the universe that doesn't require Einstein's aspect of space-time to describe motion but equally work quite as well as his theory of general and special relativity.
Commercial radio and broadcast television worked without fine grained metrics on the users. There's nothing special about the internet that makes invasive tracking a necessity.
I encounter and consider this when creating ads for my black metal band. Avoiding supporters of nazi metal is such a common concern that I didn't even think of it as odd, just business as usual. I actually appreciate that I'm able to explicitly exclude audiences, as it limits the likelihood that I'll deal with a deluge of hate mail.

Incidentally, Facebook seems to have already reacted to this article by removing "national socialist black metal" from its interest targeting options.
I think you're very close to right, but not quite. I think what we actually need is something that fills the role religion used to fit into, but that is compatible with the modern world. Religions have too many supernatural elements that attempted to explain the world before we actually had the tools to find real answers. People see that dissonance, and a lot of the social control imposed by religion, become distrustful, and "throw out the baby with the bathwater". It's unfortunate because they then lose a lot of the wonderful underlying messages and meaning religion can give to life.

I think a lot of people feel that gap, and that's why you see a lot of the flimsy "spirituality" that is essentially just feel-good notions cobbled together. Eliade talked about this in The sacred and the profane: The nature of religion. People want meaning beyond pleasing themselves, they've just completely lost it in the face of a culture advocating self interest and consumption, and increasing secularism.
Except that anyone using older AMD cards on laptops is pretty much alone, using a driver that only offers partial support for hardware features, unless we go back using legacy distros as means to use fxglr.

So much for open source driver.
For the record, the last time I did this it was Ubuntu and I think the printer was Brother. Neither particularly uncommon. Point is, because you're an apologist it literally doesn't matter what my circumstances are, you'll try to blame me anyways.
That works out to be the same arithmetic. The arithmetic of the “golden integers” is identical to the arithmetic of the matrix described here.

For anyone wants to play with “golden integers” or “golden rational” numbers, https://beta.observablehq.com/@jrus/zome-arithmetic or see a bunch of concrete uses in notebooks at https://beta.observablehq.com/@vorth/
What's the expected fix here?

I was unfamiliar with the bands and most of the people in those targeting lists.

The way I see it, these are the ways you can handle this:

1) Facebook builds this data the hard way. They staff a team of experts on "undesirables", who research and implement custom blocklists at facebook's scale. Insanely cash and time intensive, to say nothing of the "who decides what's undesirable" problem.

2) Spread cost and effort by amassing a central repository of known baddies, and all the orgs contribute and share access. The government does something like this with hashes of sex trafficking imagery, so that eng teams can filter against a blacklist. I think this topic FAR more nuanced and less binary than "does this picture contain illegal pornography or nah". Who maintains this list of undesirables? You're at "social credit score" in a hurry.

3) Algos. You let software extrapolate commonalities from known-bad actors – school shooters, confirmed russian propaganda branches, etc. And let the machine learn their language and flag accordingly. This is going to be coarse and stupid in the way ML always is, and local business owners with names like Heinrich are gonna get their livelihoods smashed accidentally here and there. Not great.

4) What Simulacra said – you just turn the whole targeting infra off. Facebook stops making money. This is great, I'd love to see it as regulation, but it's a big stretch, and very lofty when phrased like this.

5) Some kind of adtech equivalent of finance's KYC (Know Your Customer) regulation. Tie ad buys to confirmable, prosecutable identities, and rather than filtering before launch, aggressively follow up after launch. You run an ad campaign for nazis? Cool, your LLC and its primary stakeholders are permabanned. Facebook has already tried light versions of this, but it was lip service.

IMO 4 and 5 are the places to spend effort. I think we nee to start having conversations that do away with the idea that humans are autonomous and impervious to influence, and start having the discussion in a new context: When and how are you allowed to manipulate the minds of citizens at scale, and what kind of paper trail does it leave?

Some stories made it into a couple surrounding local newspapers, not within the county itself afaik. This person is a lawyer and has some connections and is trying to involve the FBI.

I myself had begun the task of gathering evidence about my arresting officer, who was actively manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine. I personally witnessed this officer engage in smurfing, and have surveillance photographs of her engaging in drug deals.

My plan was to take this evidence to the nearest local FBI office, but after discussing the situation with several former police officers I wasn't convinced of my safety or that the officer wouldn't be tipped off, so I eventually just got out of the town and didn't look back because they were trying to make things really bad for me. This officer has a personal vendetta against me and friends of mine and would frequently harass and threaten us.

I tried contacting the ACLU and soliciting free legal assistance once when my conviction took place, but at the time the barrier was $1000's of dollars of court records from several appearances needed to prove my situation, which I didn't have the money for at the time. AFAIK I'm no longer able to appeal the conviction because of the amount of time passed.
If the West stops trading with China then they will invade Taiwan and Okinawa and also supply modern weapon systems to North Korea.
“Know” is probably giving their targeting and classification a bit too much credit.
>That is all fine in theory but the theory doesn't address what happens when there is only a single dominant player.

The market can decide that only one player is sufficient to its needs.
I've been listening to podcasts for something like 15 years, since early days of TWiT & Java Posse, but I think my usage has remained the same over that time when I've been in long term relationships.

My current partner and I will listen to more 'general' podcasts when we are both in the car - so things like This American Life, Akimbo, Heavyweight, How I Built This, or Dan Carlin's HH and Common Sense.

When I'm driving or walking around solo, I'll listen to more tech / niche things. Podcasts like the Accidental Tech Podcast, Ruby / React / startup type things, etc.

There is honestly so much good content out there that my 'to-listen' queues in Overcast are overflowing for both types of listening.
Increasing developer longevity is an especially interesting point. As it turns out, developers are actually humans who appreciate variety and want to take pride in their work!
There is such a thing as deterrent. But that only goes so far. I'd argue both are needed. But the deterrent mustn't hide the root cause.
they shouldn't be comparing theranos to facebook or twitter. Theranos is another level of wrong-doing that far outpaces the minor inconveniences of FB and twitter.
Thanks! For example, the mass destruction of male chicks. The horrible conditions that pigs and chickens are raised in in industrial farms. How zoos keep their animals or kill them for no good reason. People feed live bait to their pet animals too. Etc.
this is the biggest problem i have with audiobooks/podcasts. I've thought about the idea of hacking a fitbit or apple watch that can track sleep to automatically pause them but I fall asleep much faster and easier than my fiancee and she likes to leave things going to cover my snoring.
There's now a glut of overproduced, samey content trying to compete as timewasters for a general audience. It feels like browsing through mass market paperbacks at the supermarket.

I think we're in a golden age if you're interested in fringe politics. Otherwise, we're well past it and on the decline.

No, this seems right. The typical distribution of income across the pop., even in a distorted environment like the valley, looks far more like a Poisson distribution with a long tail than a typical Gaussian
Can Facebook tell the difference between interest in studying history and interest in repeating it? Interest in a skinhead band seems to only have one interpretation, but couldn’t Goebbels and Himler search queries just be to learn and see who is discussing them? I know I’ve spent a lot of time reading about WW2. I’m not trying to be obtuse, just ignorant to what degree Facebook can target different intents behind a query or interest.
Any social network that has people posting any personal data at all, will be mined. For one purpose or another. (And probably for one purpose AND the other.) Almost the only way to stop it would be to make it explicitly illegal, and even then they would still allow mining for certain purposes. There's just no way to get away from it at this point. (Other than just not using social networks at all I suppose?)
No, now you know who are interested in the Nazis, which includes no shortage of kids writing history reports for school.
It's funny because the idea of paying for it reads like a non-starter. Maybe it is. Crazy times when we'd trade away so much for so little vs just paying some nominal amount.

But I sometimes wonder if it's just as much a convenience thing as it is the actual money. That is, if the sign up process was just as easy with payment as it is now, would a lot more people go for it than assumed (at some price point)?

In any case, I don't think that pay or have your privacy co-opted are really the only paths to a viable social network business model.
There are a lot of people interested in these keywords because they're horrified by the Nazi phenomena, and so wish to understand it, to help ensure that it doesn't happen again. I recently made several such searches after rereading Winds of War and War and Remembrance. Would if be better it I had found nothing?

George Santayana had a better take: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." When someone asks "what could go wrong" it's better to have an answer.

Let's say they perfect a method of only targeting actual Nazi sympathizers. Personally I have a few things that I'd like to show those people, without insult or invective. Like photos of dead family members. It seems to me at least as important to be able to send a targeted message to Nazis as to cat fanciers.
Cable TV isn't a good example because "nothing" is a strong competitor and really much better than cable TV.

But lately companies like VISA and MC seem to be abusing their semi-monopolies. Try living without a card or bank account.
You make a good point, and a lot of sense, but also a very abstract point. While I agree, it's good to think about business processes in a macro sense, most of the time that won't solve the problem of where you can add value.
... it's just that in the marketplace of ad channels for advertisers to invest their budget in, that network loses out to networks with targeted ads.

Because manipulation is great. You can help people by manipulating them, you can measurably improve their lives. That's a big reason for me. That's like "why should we heal the sick?" You can use a scalpel for good and you can use it to hurt people. There's no use in just saying "we shouldn't use scalpels, ever" to me.

Ads that are completely random won't pay the bills, and ads that are content-based (without looking at the user) might, but will also target the user, they just won't follow them around. If I want to reach people interested in the Nazis, I'll just put my ads on pages dealing with Nazi stuff, because that's what people interested in Nazis tend to look at and other people don't.
I said that because the parent comment said "I just don't understand this at all. If you can earn a million a year, do it for 3-5 years, never have to work again, and pursue your passions in life." They don't have those passions in life per say and fill that void with work and other things. You are actually echoing what I'm saying in your own way.

Also, I like how people bring up gardening sometimes when passion is discussed. To me, passion is coupled with expression and allows you to take on an identity in some other "world". You can be passionate about music, you can have your musical identity. You can be passionate about mathematics, you can have your way of reasoning about problems. But gardening? Is there a difference between things you really like to do and a passion?
Yeah, so why not put everything in one bucket that you control, your mailbox. Part of the idea.
Questioning a New Intellectual Property Right for Press Publishers
It's idealistic at best. Many people say this, until you see the money come in, and are pressured to make more. You just can't grow into such a monstrosity without stepping on morals along the way. For a social network to even work, it needs to be gigantic, or why would anyone use it?
I see your point but the full sentence seems to me (to my reading) simply to mention the stated purpose of the legislation. The phrase after "to" I read not as what Reuters stamped as the Correct or Real reason, but what the legislators' implied reasons were:

Negotiators from the EU countries, the European Parliament and the European Commission sealed a deal last week, two years after the EU executive proposed changes to protect the bloc’s cultural heritage and ensure that publishers, broadcasters and artists are remunerated fairly.

What's after "to" is the reason for the legislation. What, the reason for the legislation is fully subjective? And then they mentioned the dissenting voices.

I don't know. Reuters might be biased, but I don't see this as making a strong case.
It can still be mined. That's the crux of the problem is the mining. If you can mine it, then you can use that data to target ads, you can use it for law enforcement purposes, you can use it to stifle dissent, etc etc etc. Could also use the mined data for a myriad number of good things as well. Really is just up to the miner.

Point is, it's the mining that lays the foundation for the dangers, and there is little that prevents facebook, or twitter, or whatever entity that wants to mine mastodon instances from doing so.
I don't understand why we don't let such platforms adopt a more laissez faire approach to such situations. There's an inordinate amount of pressure to curb free speech these days which seems very un-American.
