Sorry, I thought you meant "next question" in my link, not the article. As to Question 35 in the article: that is testing if you know what "imagery" means. What is imagery? It's using words to convey a sensory impression or feeling. B is the only one that describes a sensory impression or feeling.

> A the shift in the speaker’s attitude

It's not A, because the cited lines contain no reference to any shift. The rest of the poem implies a shift or mood swing, but the cited portion helps you understand the current mood, not the shift.

> B the speaker’s unpleasantness

> C why the speaker has no friends

C assumes facts not in evidence. The poem doesn't say the author has no friends. It says she is in a mood where she could not attract friends. The imagery is directed specifically to the author's unpleasantness. One can speculate that, as a result, she has no friends, but that's not necessarily true. B is the more direct and thus better answer.

> D what the speaker thinks of others

The text is talking about the author, not others. You can speculate what the author thinks about others, but that's not what the question is asking.
>The question is why? It's a $20 movement in a poorly finished case. The most important part of the watch isn't made in the USA. It's a $50 product being sold for $500.

Most watches are like that. In the high end, it's $1000 product being sold for $30000.

>Further, it completely misses the point of what made Timex famous to begin with; excellent quality at a low price.

They already do well in that market. It's not enough for them, they want a market with better margins.

It's not like they're the only: Casio G-shocks are now having a "high end" brand, selling $100-$200 worth of watches for 1 to several K dollars. There's a basic square (the classic 6510 and co mechanism that sells for 30-50$) that goes for $800 just because it's now in stainless steel.

Doubt it, though I don't think that I've used it in the context of SDD's recently since latency is that low.

My anecdotal experience:

When I searched "mortgage" just now, the first four results on the page were advertisements. The fifth and final result on the first page, of which only one line was actually visible without scrolling, was a mortgage calculator website. On the right side of the page there was another ad with graphical links to mortgage companies.
The advantages are discussed more, while the disadvantages are just a paragraph. I think with this article it's a case of 'reason is slave to the passions'.

I genuinely want to know the arguments against.

To my knowledge that wouldn't be breaking the law. The law is that service has to be AVAILABLE in French.

What I mean is that even in an at-will state, employees have an expectation of continued employment, unless their employer has given them a defined end date. An employer can decide to fire an employee at any point without cause or notice, but until that happens, the employee has an expectation that they're going to be coming in to work and doing their job. To put it another way: Even in at-will states, you're employed until you aren't.

But if an employer fires an employee, that upends the arrangement, whether or not the employee was planning to stop working at future date, and whether or not the employee has given the employer notice of that fact.

Frankly, the only reason it's considered common practice to give notice is because there is an implicit expectation that you will continue to be employed until your date of planned separation and can make arrangements based on that fact. If employers regularly fired anyone who gave notice, and offered them no severance, no one would give notice.

So, for the purposes of qualifying for unemployment benefits, it should not matter whether you had planned to stop working for your employer on some future date. The firing has nullified those plans. The employer has prevented you from working until the date on which you intended to stop working, and so it's almost nonsensical to say, "Well, now you're out of a job, but let's treat you as if you still have a job that you're still planning to quit on the date you specified."

It can get a lot worse in states with onerous non-compete laws.

When I quit Tudor Investment, they forced me to work for an extra 3 months. If I didn't, they threatened to fire me 'with cause' which under NY state law means they could enforce my non-compete without paying me.

1 week before I was supposed to leave, my manager tried to sandbag me with a list of 30 tasks so that he could force me to stay longer. So I terminated my employment using the 'right to work' clause and they carried out their threat, firing me after I legally quit (twice!).

This kind of non-compete abuse is probably illegal but fighting it through arbitration would be expensive.

Those assholes still owe me money in fact. Don't ever deal with the wage thieves at Tudor Investment.
I am a fi user.

The problem with settings like that is it still lets the call go to voicemail and I don't want to deal dozens of 4 second messages every week.
I don't know that I've ever been asked that before, but similar to giving more than 2 weeks notice... why would you ever answer yes to that?

If none or only one manufacturer cut production/restricted expansion, then somebody would be leaving the market. That's how the DRAM market ended up collapsing down to just three players: When margins are too low, the smaller players can no longer afford the investment required to keep pace with technology improvements. A short-term desperate play for market share in conditions where you can't turn a serious profit just means you only get to play the game for one more round unless other business units will cover your loss.

This is not an efficient market. Large changes in supply have lead times on the order of years, and demand cannot be accurately predicted that far out. Months-long oversupply and shortage conditions are unavoidable. The costs of entry get significantly higher with each generation. A two generation old NAND fab cannot be operated profitably even after all the construction and R&D costs have been recouped.

I hope we're not on the path to reducing rigorous testing and vetting of medicines in exchange for cheaper prices. Medical science is extremely hard, and verifying cause and effect in a system as complex as the human body takes significant resources.

People want cheap, people want safe, people want well qualified individuals pursuing these advances. What people don't want is higher taxes to enable government funding for this research, and would rather have private investors pick up the tab. And then they scoff at high medicine prices. I'm sure there's some corruption and paper pushing waste going on, but fixing that is not going to remove the need for costly triple blind studies that span years, only to result in failure the vast majority of the time.

That's the cost of good science, and if society wants the fruits, they need to pay for it.
James, we respectfully disagree.

I think it's helpful if you (or anyone reading this) compare two projects side by side.

This is the project you have submitted:

https://github.com/jameskeane/scrambler

It is a prototype of IPSec CNI plugin using Bash. We are happy you are promoting your project online and as we've discussed during the interview, you could use it as you wish as it's your work.

This is the project that we have created at Gravitational:

https://github.com/gravitational/wormhole

It is using Go, Wireguard and is designed for production use under Apache 2 license.

I understand that similarities in the problem statement may have led you to believe that
we could re-use the project idea, I'm assuring that you that we have not.

There are many OSS CNI plugins in the market solving the similar problem in a similar fashion (e.g. flannel with IPSec backend).

As a matter of fact that's the main reason we have picked this as a problem statement - to make it easier for candidates to look around for prior work.

For example, this is a submission of the engineer we've hired based on their similar execution of the assignment from April 2018:

https://github.com/webvictim/k8s-ipsec-cni

James, I wish you the best and hope that my response clarifies some confusion around this.

Because now the company knows, and people aren't perfectly rational.

It's not about stopping targeted harm (which is covered by other security procedures) but to limit the time where the employee is at increased risk of leaking data or doing things that they normally wouldn't because the main consequence of losing their job is removed. Someone knowing they'll be gone soon can also have a negative impact on team productivity and morale.
Your point of breaking things as early in the process really is the winner.

Catching things early and often. Tooling that shifts things further left in the pipeline is my go-to default.
Jupyter Notebooks Development Manifesto
No I'm not at all, I'm simply observing that in the real world most users of software are not developers and therefore do not have access to those benefits. In fact all but a small fraction of developers don't either, for any given project, because they happen to not know the language and dev tools used for it.

The fact that they could theoretically in principle access those benefits and therefore everything is in reality ok, is the sort of magical thinking that has put the Libre Software movement out on the fringes of relevance.
I think it's easy, right? Forward your number to a voice that says, "to call me, please type your credit card number on the keypad. a charge of $2 will apply." If they pay, you connect the call. If they don't pay, the call disconnects. Easy.

Nobody will call you, of course, including spammers.
That's right. GitLab has Group Conversations [1] every day at the time when West Coast and Europe overlap. The most-wanted hours in the company to organize meetings are dedicated to talking about different areas of the company and learning how they're performing. We also do a Company Call [2] every day, which comprises about five minutes of announcements and 25 minutes of people chatting.

Our Coffee Break Calls encourage team members to spend several hours a week socializing and building a relationship that's separate from work. Since working remotely can also lead to team members never meeting in person, we have a visiting grant [3] to cover transportation costs, and every nine months, the entire team gets together for the GitLab Contribute (ex Summit) [4]. The next Contribute happens in less than a 10 days and I can't wait for it!

Is anyone aware of a service where we as consumers could key in the information from our insurance companies. What we pay, what the negotiated rates are, etc? Glassdoor has a place for employer benefits, but it's largely useless. Consumers should be able to compare prices among themselves,

I know I've seen huge differences in what I (and my employer) pay for similar insurance, even when organizations are similarly sized.

I've also seen huge discrepancies in price charged vs price payed by insurance company. Is anyone collecting this data? I sent an email proposing something like this to propublica, but I've been thinking of setting something up myself.

The more I learn about finance, and the better I grok money, the more I start to think of money as a substance that represents time-travel, in a sense. Current amount of money you have on your account is always tied up to your past decisions or to a space of your possible decisions about it, and so well-quantified, that the worth of basically anything is always tied up to a dynamic process which is always, in the end, measured in time.

(OK, I just understood that what I wrote reads as a horrible unintelligible mess, but I didn't yet grok this idea well enough to put it down elegantly.)

The announced separation date was based on the assumption of gainful employment up until that date. Being thrown into unemployment makes that decision irrelevant. Giving notice is a courteous statement of intentions. The courtesy and intention no longer apply if they get fired in the interim.

> They've already done it in the past numerous times - I know damn well since I come from former Czechoslovakia.

Czechoslovakia was a part of the Soviet Bloc, wasn't it? During the time of Cold War? With Soviet Union being, in effect the ruling center of the bloc and considering the rest of the Soviet countries its sphere of influence? I mean, it doesn't justify what Soviet Union did then, but what happened to Czechoslovakia couldn't have happened to France, or Sweden, or the UK.

Things are completely different now. Yes, even now, with the militaristic rhetoric on both sides rising to the Cold War-era level. There is no Soviet bloc. Russia is reduced in its ambitions to the level of a minor regional power.

As for Ukraine, it has the misfortune of sharing a border and a lot of common history with Russia; so much so that Russia still considers it its sphere of interest. With Western Europe things are completely different. Russia may have squabbles with Ukraine or perhaps even with Baltic states (unlikely, because they are members of NATO), but to conclude from that that other European countries are under the risk of Russian invasion is to misrepresent reality, I believe.
Whaaaa... I had no idea. Thank you!
That's interesting. Up here the employer still have to prove damage in court. I can understand the reasoning.

What many of these real estate investors do is have a phone number on their bandit signs or use in their robodialer voice mails that forwards to the answering service. That phone number might be provided by services like callfire or callrail where you can generate lists of numbers. Some services let you script all actions.

Callfire allows for things like enabling recording on the call forward (potentially illegal) when someone calls it. Then investor themselves or pays a virtual assistant like $3hr to sift through all those calls for any potential leads. You can hear the entire call to patlive if you wanted to. Or they just trust patlive to forward messages as they’re the answering service.

So long as your answering service or where you’re generating your numbers doesn’t blow your cover then you can keep this game up for a long time. That’s what these answering services are trained to do is protect their clients identities. But I doubt that holds up when the FTC comes knocking.
I studied German in college, and I have been studying Korean for almost 2 years and I would say you're spot on.

The hardest thing about learning a new language is learning to think in that language, not 1. think in native language 2. transcode to target language. Not only is this quite slow, it leads to very unnatural language. English and Korean have different idioms and ways of structuring sentences.

Since I've been studying Korean for a while now I have certain thoughts I can innately express in Korean and actually have difficulty directly mapping to English.

---

However, one has to start somewhere. I can't really learn a concept in Korean without it being explained in English.. until I'm advanced enough to understand Korean grammar and word explanations in Korean.* One just has to remember that things don't map neatly although textbooks pretend like they do. Over time and exposure, you get a sense for how and when things are really used.

So the real answer is you need to just use the target language as much as you can. The only way to innately grasp a concept is by seeing it and using it.

* It's a bit like bootstrapping a compiler, isn't it?

Whether owned by family or raised as a member of a small herd is immaterial to where the majority of these cattle end up as adults: loaded on transport trucks to concentrated feed lots where they await processing by the factory slaughter system. Maybe the first 1/2 of their life is great, even idyllic, but that's not much of a comfort.

I'll admit phrased that last part ("types of people") very badly, so let me clarify. First, I should say that I'm very keen to believe that most of these workers are (as you say) professionals. It sounds like, in your direct experience, they are, which is great. But here's the issue:

This work is dangerous (dealing with deadly equipment and huge stressed animals), dirty (in the Mike Rowe sense), and low-paying (at or near minimum wage, per Google). So the gist of what I'm saying is, in that type of high-pressure, low-ethical-incentive situation, it's simply inevitable that:

1. Mistakes get made.
2. Corners get cut.
3. Equipment fails.
4. A worker stops caring (or didn't care to begin with).

Even if we imagine that literally all workers in these jobs are infallible, professional, and compassionate, we still have to deal with equipment working non-optimally (see the link about the bolt guns above; they ain't perfect). This means that some nonzero % of cattle processed suffer during slaughter. Even if we're charitable and say that that number must be small, like 1%, that's still a hell of a lot of cattle suffering.

In addition, you can easily find first-person accounts from slaughterhouse workers who describe exactly this imperfect system in vivid detail, where some animals end up dismembered while still "sensate". (And this is totally skipping over all of the ethical issues with confinement and slaughter in the first place!) So, to sum up:

We know logically that we make cattle suffer at scale.

We know empirically that we make cattle suffer at scale.

I would really, really like to be wrong about this.
> Which just proves that BigCo policies are written by bozos.

I know it feels good to say that, but isn't it more likely they are just rational human beings making decisions by weighing a wide array of facts - most of which we aren't even aware exist?
Agree completely. However I’m pretty sure theres a cartel (ETA?) for automatic Swiss movements that Timex doesn’t want to cater to. Which basically leaves this watch in the “overpriced fashion” category. And they probably don’t want an Asian movement cuz that appears cheap (although there’s some good ones out there).

I think it’d be awesome to see a USA made movement again in this price point, but I’m not holding my breath.
Or, you know, taking advantage of some tax breaks and benefits. It's not like factory jobs are for other races and countries, and Americans should just sit back and solely devote themselves to pure ideas and entrepreneurship.

>More realistic: fleece suckers who think “Made in America” make it worth spending $500 for a $50 watch.

Most $500 watches are worth way less, even $50, so nothing special about this (regardless of where they are made).

Besides, getting domestic jobs for people is still worth something. Those laid off factory workers of old aren't gonna "reinvent" themselves anytime soon and get into Silicon Valley, but if they could get a new factory job that's something - and beats homelessness or low-end shitty gigs like Uber.
