Ask HN: Verbally abusive employer, what do I do?
I'm currently been employed by my employer for shy of 3 years. My employer was great for the first 6 months, but after that my boss turned into a huge pain and became verbally abusive. He often belittles me, calls me stupid, no common sense, etc. in front of the entire staff team, to the point it makes me physically sick to my stomach going to work for him. His boss (CEO) is his father, so trying to resolve this is impossible. I have attempted to raise concerns privately and only been treated worse by my boss.

I have been seeking new employment for over a year with no avail, at the point of desperation that I offered to work for half market rate. I've received no offers. The market where I live is bad this year.

What are my options? I have a family, I'm the sole earner, I'm forced to work 10-12 hours a day, with verbal abuse all day. I cannot merely quit, I won't have the money to provide for my family if I do.

Dials are the entry point and all you ever have to use, but there are some quick entry points for various programs. Also, the door is just a handle instead of a mechanical button that gets gummed up and stops actually working after a while, and the "little bit more" button gimmick is really handy.

A microwave is a weird thing to be enthusiastic about but this thing ticked a lot of my design boxes.
Again, AWS proves to be shamelessly exploitative of others' work and success. This must be a culture there or something.

To put it bluntly: this is what state censorship does to news. Even if they wanted to do better, they can't, because they'll get shut down or punished.
China is extraordinarily bullish on renewables.
From wikipedia:
"China's renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity. ... In 2017, renewable energy comprised 36.6% of China's total installed electric power capacity, and 26.4% of total power generation, the vast majority from hydroelectric sources."
> Why do we concentrate on wealth inequality so much?

Because, empirically, it's a significant contributor to disutility, and a visibly selective experience of disutility is a significant contributor to social conflict. The author directly cites this—in the form of risk of revolution—as his concern, so it's if that this question comes up.

> Would it be better if everyone we're equally poor?

Maybe no inequality and ever increasing inequality aren't the only options.
I only mentioned it as a signal that Redbox was apparently unable to get a better deal with whoever licenses/sells the DVDs wholesale than from Walmart, even if they got a special deal from those particular Walmart stores.
If the collision is completely inelastic, then there will be no bouncing. In a car, usually the crumple zone completely absorbs and dissipates all the energy kinetic.

This is very unfortunately a relatively common problem. Fragmented EMRs and lack of interoperability and data sharing are often to blame. So too is not telling your family what you would want.
In trying to find out how the Seabord Rise[1] was invented, I unearthed ROLI founder and CEO Roland Lamb's original thesis. This paper goes into incredible, minute detail about the design of a vanguard product from idea to manufacture, including motivation, analysis of competition, prototyping, engineering, incorporation, and a complete timeline of the entire process.

> By those standards I could have filed a few myself ;-)

You most definitely can, but you should remember that filing for a patent is very expensive. :)

This was years ago, so I cannot remember all the details, but I did attend one or two patent workshops/talks, so I think can can weigh in on this.

Basically, there are a few criteria for a certain submission to be patentable, the most important of which was novelty. There were some others, such as not simply combining exiting technologies to create something obvious (IIRC something called 'inventive step' or something like that), but largely it revolved around it being new.

As you might imagine, the above is somewhat interpretable, so a lot of these could go through if they were a tiny bit novel in their approach. Even if your idea was not patented, your idea might still be published as a white paper just so that others could not then invent something similar. By exposing that idea to the outside world, it became public knowledge, so HP could not go and patent something similar.

I remember being told it's all about the mindset. You don't have to be particularly bright or have some 'divine' spark, you just needed to take a problem/functionality/thing and turn it fiddle with it until you get something new, then do some research (there was special software for this) to see if it already exists, get someone internal to review it (a Master Inventor, as they were called), get in touch with the internal lawyers and send it for review.

Maybe I am a bit cynical. But from my perspective this, and similar calls for change, doesn't come from suddenly longing for America at its best. But because they increasingly realize that China is coming for their lunch.
> diesel electric truck

Ford my actually provide you with that. They showed a Ford Transit in Amsterdam last week. It has 75kW battery with 200km range, but you can order a diesel powered range extender for it.

I think Tesla should partner up with a company that could add a range extender to the frunk.
JS is also a server-side language.
The low speeds involved in walking mean we can allocate resources way more efficiently that using lanes.

If more people are walking in one direction than the other, more space is naturally allocated to them.

If you're "merging" from the left, you can pass on that side until you can get to the right instead of waiting to do a left turn, often without slowing anyone down.

Rigid rules are good at stopping catastrophic collisions, they aren't so good at optimizing use of a complex resource like a sidewalk. Consider how things like telephone polls make some areas of the sidewalk 'less valuable' and natural passing/turning/collector lanes.
Indeed! It’s very easy to give advice, or in the case of politicians, make decisions that will affect millions of people when your decisions are divorced from their consequences, which is basically all modern politics.
3. TypeScript only supports positional generic parameters (i.e. you can't give them names).

It's well known that positional semantics don't scale when it comes to argument lists, because when changing the API of something with a positional argument list, adding an argument in an arbitrary position becomes a breaking change that requires all usages to be updated.

Unfortunately, part of the fallout from point 2 means we often need to define higher order functions that require a decent number of generic parameters, all of which have to be positional due to this limitation.

There's a hack that we discovered that allows you to have poor-man's named generics by using a single generic argument with named properties, inspired by this comment: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/23696#issuecomm...

But it's incredibly verbose, and doesn't support optional generic arguments or defaults as far as I can tell. We still use it despite this, because we believe the verbosity and having to specify every generic argument is the lesser of two evils compared to offering APIs that requires breaking changes for every addition. But that we have to make this choice points to a glaring omission in the design of the type system.
If photon travels at speed of light, then it has no mass ?

But if it has no mass, it shouldn't bring any energy, though.
In relativity, c=1 is a common convention. It doesn't really add much to the equation because it's just a conversion factor.
I can't speak to what most people would do, but I've experienced unintended acceleration before. The throttle stuck all the way open while I was driving a friend's car because he routed the throttle cable improperly after installing a larger carburetor for more power. I had intended to give it full throttle, but only briefly.

I stood on the brakes and didn't let up. He reached over and shut off the key, which locked the steering and put us in the ditch, but at relatively low speed due to the continuous braking.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Citizens United did not affect the ability of individuals like the Kochs and Mercers to spend money on ads naming candidates.

I was raised evangelical, specifically Southern Baptist. There is a relentless focus on positivity. On prayers being answered. The person, that you're replying to, got it largely correct, at least as my childhood faith goes.

Sure, even the most deluded Baptists realize death is inevitable. And they're not entirely hostile to DNR. But their approach to the sanctity of life, and the countless stories of last minute miracles, means they will take an aggressive approach. "Pulling the plug" was often considered suicide / murder, and many in my church considered it a start to mass euthanasia of the old and chronically infirm.

Perhaps your experience in Christianity is different. But you should educate yourself and realize your experience is far from universal. The brouhaha over Terri Schiavo was not an anomaly in my former faith. The evangelical approach has created much suffering for people in end of life care. I have no qualms about tarring such people for what they perpetuate.
If you believe the US Census Bureau, the rate of people living in poverty has been on the decline since the end of the last recession.

The World Bank says similar things about the global poverty rate, with that number hitting a record low of 10% in 2015.
XAP Credit Solution Review
Sometimes, you can read something online that will help improve your life; I missed paying back my loans, my cards were maxed out and I was late on the rent, all these did serious harm to my credit profile, my FICO dropped to as low as 426. I was at an all-time low as I needed to secure a loan in order to offset my wife’s medical bills. Until, last month when I came across a review on Trulia about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION a credit reform company. I decided to give them a try. 2 weeks after we reached an agreement and I met the requirements which obviously wasn’t much, my profile was repaired totally. Now my score is at 780. All thanks to XAP. Reach them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or text (972) 597 9704. I kid you not. You’ll be glad you did.
I’ve just gotten io-ts configured to do mapping in / out of Firestore (mapping from a Query/DocumentSnapshot on the ingress and to a change set on egress).

Might be worth checking that library out for anyone who knows about DDD or wants to abstract their mapping code.

> Shouldn't we be seeking a Next Best Alternative solution long before bloody revolution?

That's kind of what Dalio (and all of the other people seeking mitigation of the same trends within the system) is (and are) doing.
They don't have to. They're busy serving customers who pay lots of money to have their problems solved, not to pontificate about the morality of building with open-source software.

You're free to set your project's license to whatever you want but why complain when it's used the way you said it can be?
I used to complain about the Dutch railway system. Then I moved to the UK and realized how much better it is, not to mention cheaper and predictable pricing! None of this pre-order or "if you get a return via the same route it's 40p more expensive but if you get a return via a different route it's £40 more expensive" nonsense.[1]

I didn't travel much until a few years ago, but since then I've come to learn that the Dutch railways is probably the best I've seen yet (which doesn't necessarily mean it's the best as I can't compare all systems, but certainly seems among the best).

UK trains tend to have better service though: more power sockets (although I assume it's more common in NL too now? Haven't been in 4 years), and better catering. There's almost always coffee, and some trains even have a bar with beer/wine at comparatively reasonable prices.

Where I'm currently living in New Zealand doesn't even have a train connection, even though it sports a famous railway station :-(

a subreddit behaving as its own website? sounds like HN.

honestly i wish them luck. reddit has a bit too much power imo, making a lot of money off of volunteers. I am also concerned about the data available at their fingertips. They could build profiles on people like few others could, comparable to facebook, with some differences regarding the pseudo-anonymity. I only access it via throwaways and vpn.
Would this be better described as music made from midi-controlled (mechanical) instruments?

Very neat, however the title lead me to believe the robots had the creative control of the notes and construction of the song. Still very entertaining none the less.
In Tokyo, people drive their bicycles on the sidewalk (ment only for pedestrians) while completely ignoring the bicycle lane with painted instructions for them. They can't drive fast and usually end up causing a mess by almost running into someone every 30-60 seconds.

What's even worse is they don't even ring their bells but try to sneak past you. Most of these cyclists are not alone, they have their kids in a basket.

This causes me to rage. These days I just walk on the bicycles path since all the bicycles are in the pedestrian walkway.
> I don't think stealing books from library at any kind of scale approaching the value of tax evasion is so easy to get away with.

I think you missed what the comment was trying to say.
You weren't an asshole - you were hypomanic.
Just the opposite. Doximity is a network for medical professionals; if you Google it they expliticly advertise "no patients, just clinicians".
I can't really disagree with Redis here.

Traditional licenses forced you to contribute back if you used community's code. SaaS changed everything: you can now "leech" software without giving back.

We need a new model. We need to force contribution, because software corporations won't give back otherwise. I've worked for big corps and the bureaucracy will not allow it, even if developers wish to. If we don't force legal departments to comply we will lose the whole culture of freedom we've built in the past 40 years.
I always find it kind of silly when AI is just thrown into a field with the notion that they'll just deal with the messy, subjective and unstructured data (like hand written medical notes for example) as is. For me it makes much more sense to try to clean up and structure the data from the start instead. Maybe come up with some data acquisition compromise that is both UX friendly and give rise to more structure and consistency.
> Because, empirically, it's a significant contributor to disutility

Evidence? Once one's basic needs are taken care of, by far the biggest contributor to disutility and deviance/conflict is social exclusion. Now, it is also the case that social exclusion/marginalisation is significantly correlated with an unequal society - but that's a contingent fact about the late-stage-capitalist social structure we're actually in; if you actually want to fix the problem in the most effective way, by far the most sensible thing to do is to focus on social capital directly, and thus on countering social exclusion/marginalization. Sure, inequality talk is incredibly popular due to how it panders to envy, but this is not something we should encourage as it makes the actual issues a lot worse!
Yes agree but MacBook Pro heatsinks are copper.

you should. kryonaut and conductonaut are both great.

From the frame of reference of each proton, the opposing proton is going nearly the speed of light.

Edit: someone asked for a more detailed explanation, so here it is. Because of the equation in the article, it's impossible to see anything as moving faster than the speed of light in any reference frame; they just appear to asymptotically approach it. Both protons are moving at nearly the speed of light and perceive the other as moving at a speed that's slightly closer to the speed of light.
Fat from marrow and brains to be clear, other articles make that distinction in the title, and do not jump to the fat conclusion in the title.
Rooftop solar is quite different to industrial solar plants. The latter is on the ground, for example. Also, the installation of the latter is less ad-hoc and not done by small scale operators.
I don't think the safety of a large power plant vs lots of home power installations is at all a fair metric.
A very close relative of mine got a similar massive stroke when he was around 60 that also hit the language center. Even if I was quite young I remember that moment of frustration in the hospital when when he could not talk with either of us. The doctor explained he would unlikely survive the night, and even if he did he would not be able to leave the hospital bed. His daughter did the same however what the person in this article did and demanded full treatment including surgery which the doctor advised against. Against very unlikely odds he recovered. A few years later he was biking to the bank and climbing the cherry tree on the yard. His ability to make himself understood was extremely limited where basically only his daughter sometimes understood him, through writing and reading did very slowly come back to a minor degree many years later. He died less than a year ago at age 93.

I writing this not inject doubt in your decision, and there are many differences, but I would like to share how impossible the decision can be. I read articles like this and acknowledge the massive amount of unnecessary pain many has to go through in their last days, but if I end up having to make a similar decision I don't know what I would do or think.
Istio is service-mesh software with several components and the data plane is Envoy. Linkerd 2 is a competitor with its own data plane.

Traefik is not a service mesh, it's a webserver and reverse-proxy and similar to Nginx and HAProxy, although all of them have been trying to get into this space along with Kong and others.

In the other direction there's also Heptio Contour and Datawire Ambassador that use Envoy as a reverse-proxy.
It absorbs at an incredibly slow rate. If you’re going to apply it, you have to apply an extremely small amount so you’re not going to short anything out.

Most Apple spec intel CPUs have no die-side caps, you’re going to be fine.

Disastrous long-term consequences are scarier as long as they have some short term benefits. At least with long-term success you have something positive at the end.

Humans, particularly politicians and young people, tend to have a high time preference. That is, they put more emphasis on the here and now over future deferred rewards and consequences. This means that if a strategy has good short term rewards, then people will often ignore the long-term effects. Even if you can show that the long-term effects are negative, they are likely to ignore it. Eg moving towards socialism. We have plenty of evidenced from past attempts that socialism is likely not going to work, but people still like advocating for such policies, because they have a positive impact in the short term.
Yup, the type names for integers (byte, short, int, long, etc.) are borrowed from C#. All primitives in Muon have a well-defined, platform/architecture independent size. Two exceptions: ssize and usize (machine word sized integers), which are mostly used for C interop.

C# programmers should feel right at home, but you're right that there is a very slight learning curve for others.

But, I hear you! I've personally worked a lot with C# which is why I chose the current names, but I realize that there are others that prefer the explicit names (u8, i8, etc.). I'll be adding a type aliasing feature soon, so anyone who wants to define their own alternative type names will be free to do so. At that point it may also make sense to use explicit names as the default.

I am no a lawyer, but I think an employer may have an obligation to treat all applicants fairly and equally.
