That does not actually say the ADA gives priority to dogs. It says "...they should both be assigned, by accommodating them, if possible...." but is silent on what should happen if it is not possible to accommodate both. Both dog allergy and dog phobia can rise to the level of a disability under the ADA, so it's not just a case of some sniffles or just not liking dogs versus the rights of a person with a disability who uses a service dog as an aid.

This is extremely complicated, and you can go down some pretty deep rabbit holes trying to understand it all. Believe me, I've tried. I'm starting to suspect that truly understanding how all these laws interact requires a JD and 2 years practicing employment law.
It was a $3 per month business VoIP phone number redirecting service, and the termination fee was $3000 if you didn't use the correct termination procedure, which involved knowing a password in a web form only my grandfather knew, or passing a 'my password is my voice' phone login. They also allowed termination by a letter to their HQ, with a $3k fee. I think the fee was more of a "we can only offer low prices if everything is automated, so we charge a stupidly high fee for anything we can't automate".

I don't want to name the company, because the dispute is still ongoing.
Ryzen 2nd-gen 2700 is out of stock currently, but it used to go for as low as $135-150, it's absolutely not a $290 CPU (perhaps you're looking at 3rd gen ryzen? 3700x?).

I haven't looked at what a GPU equivalent would be, but by the time PS5 hits the market, I doubt going to be anywhere near 270$.

As long as there aren't any supply chain disruptions (as there are now).

It appears that the real killer is the hardware-accelerated decompression block pulling the data straight from SSD into CPU/GPU memory in the exact right location/format without any overhead, which isn't available on commodity PC hardware at the moment.

I wasn't in the administration of the programs, so I wouldn't know for certain. Here are some thoughts though:

- If they're allergic, then find them a seating arrangement that works for them (assuming they don't already have a seating arrangement).

- If no such seating arrangement is possible (for example, if they need to sit with their team and the team is on a floor with a dog), then notify the dog owners that due to an allergy they will no longer be able to bring their dog in.

- If the dog owner really likes bringing their dog in, help relocate the dog owner to a different space.
Regardless, this breaches GDPR by making data public and accessible to an unlimited audience by default.

I hope (for your sake) that you don't have any users that can invoke their GDPR rights against you by virtue of their citizenship.

For the sake of incentivising companies to do the right thing, however, I hope you do have some EU or UK citizen users who do litigate or have their data protection authority investigate and formally punish Triplebyte, even if only to establish clear precedent here for the future.
Yeah, mean anonymous notes are childish. Be an adult and have a conversation with the person you have a problem with.

That might be dangerous. At least in Germany there's a difference between the service agreement and the payment. As long as you don't cancel the service, if you are not paying you just amass more and more money that you owe them.
Except Apple isn't a dictatorial country, and there are other computer vendors to choose from.

Apple isn't Mafia, doing personal visits while giving advices to buy Apple computers otherwise accidents do happen.

Buying an Apple computer is a conscious decision.

I love how many around here make their decisions, and then feel entitled to complain and point the finger to big corporations, as if these corporations are the only ones to blame and they poor souls were mislead.
I suppose that particular sentence could be interpreted a number of ways; I see it more as leveraging connections necessarily rather than surreptitiously. Either way, having friends at the company would also help cultivate a sense of optimism that carried her through this time rather than being as significant at the time as many are proposing.
Long periods of financial insecurity in the past have trained (beaten?) that impulse out of me. I'm glad you can still do it.
Still, please don’t do things that need actual consent in IRL (making something that was private, public)

Thank you so much for pointing this out.

The whole thread is full of toxic and judgemental comments. I enjoyed reading her post but I am put off by the absence of empathy in the comments here. Imagine being the author and reading this comment section where you're called out as a "whining", "autistic", "lame", "entitled" "tech-fetishist with poor communication skills" who is "not taking responsibility".

Am I wrong if I pick up a vibe of misogyny as well?
Our company did data mining for a large bank and we discovered that customer marketing where the bank initiates person-to-person contact with a customer makes people to change bank.

Customer marketing and reach out programs were net negatives. They lost more money than they did bring in by a large margin.
Enabling private logging is fairly annoying these days, unfortunately. (Interestingly, if macOS thinks you're AppleInternal, it will make it just as annoying to disable private logging…)
Yes, if they are the well-known large manufacturers, they certainly do to an extend. But mainly it probably depends on the deal the car manufacturers are getting. Supply prices for things not priced by open markets, are a very big secret. So the manufacturers might give car factory especially good conditions, which they don't want to disrupt the market entirely. Which is fine, as long as the batteries all end up in cars, but they don't want the car manufacturers become battery sellers and disrupt the market.
And coming back to safety: they batteries might be specially configured for cars, where proper packaging and electronic control can be guaranteed, but you don't want to sell these configurations to non-manufacturers.
That's one version. Another one could be, you're having a great career at a company, suddenly your profile goes public and shows that you are looking for a job outside the company. Someone in your current company notices and now your career will screech to a halt even though you where never really that serious about it. There are so many bad versions on of how this could unfold...
She didnt say "I didnt enjoy the HR day and found it stressful". She didnt say she's trying to "minimise emotional stress", she said it was a "redflag".

Doing a pointless quiz and being given a macbook pro is a "redflag".

This is a person who does not take any responsibility for the stress they feel and attribute it all to some nefarious feature of the environment they are in.

What she needs to do here is learn what features of that environment caused her stress, and be self-aware enough to seek out other employement which is structured differently.

What will happen if you don't understand yourself well, is that you'll keep thinking its "problems with other people" that you need to "fix". And you can't fix the entire world. You have to learn a compromise for the sake of your own mental health.
From a GDPR perspective, for anyone who is able to lay claim to GDPR protections, it wouldn't matter whether this is written in red on the first line of the agreement - "data protection by default" means that you must default to not sharing with an unlimited number of people.

What this means in practice is you can't default anything containing personal info to being public by default.
> How many people who were searching for a job without telling their company are going to opt-in to make that public?

I think that's the real issue: timing. The only time this can work is when someone has just resigned or joined a new company, so they can (and are actually willing to) "legitimately" pump up the volume about themselves.

So make it an easy opt-in triggered by these events. Any triplebyte candidate that "closes the deal" should get opted-in automatically. Anybody without an ongoing work relationship, should get opted-in automatically. Everyone else, you hold fire until something significant happens publicly, at which point you gently prod them. You can even ask, when someone signals they are looking for a job, "do you want your profile public at this time? It's a pretty cool thing! If not, no biggie, we'll ask again once things change."

It's not rocket science to do this respectfully and it's sad that they didn't.
I’ve never heard of any tech company that doesn’t give you a choice. That is of course, unless they don’t use Windows organization wide.

But besides, she’s getting a computer from her company, not her grandma on Christmas. They hire devs by the handful, they can easily take it back and put it to use. The point is, it’s hard to sympathize unless her supervisors turned her down.

I agree though, orientation is boring and I’ve never gone to one in my life. I didn’t know until my senior year in college that I had been assigned an advisor. But then just skip it, and try to forget it. Don’t skip it just to linger on every horrible detail, and spiral deeper into a depression because you weren’t assigned a desk. Ask for one.

Damned if you don’t. No one will hate you for making perfectly reasonable requests, though I’m sure people like that exist in the world, I just don’t see them in this story.

Zen merely means meditation. It’s a practice, not a state of being or enlightenment.

I think the confusion comes about because many people use Tao and zen interchangeably. The Tao is supposed to represent a total understanding of the underlying universal principals, which can be seen as a form of enlightenment.

However Zen is not that.

The zen of python would represent a way to meditate while coding in python. Though I will admit the actual document reads more like a Tao, and it was originally called “the way of Python” (Tao also translates as the way).

> Post-WWI Germany had to pay war reparations denominated in deutschmarks. About 10 years later Germany got into a situation of hyperinflation. This essentially wiped out any outstanding reparations.

The reparations were the cause of the hyperinflation, as they were required to be paid not in German currency, so they printed lots of currency to exchange for the required hard currencies on the markets, at ever-increasing rates.

Of course this did nothing to wipe out outstanding reparations.

If your company declares itself insolvent and makes you all redundant by reason of insolvency, then you would be able to claim missing salary, pension contributions, holiday, redundancy pay and (if applicable) pay in lieu of notice from the Redundancy Payments Service, albeit with the payment for each element being capped. From recent experience, once you've made your claim, they pay out pretty promptly once a liquidator has been appointed.

Unfortunately that does require your company to take that step, which it sounds unwilling to do. (It is normally an offence for directors to continue trading a company whilst technically insolvent, but that has been rescinded temporarily due to coronavirus).

If you weren't still employed by them if/when they do declare insolvency, then I suspect you would be treated like any other unsecured creditor with regards to your missing payments.
Precisely why this dark pattern is so common.

How's it different from companies that give you a Dell notebook or Windows notebook? The best solution would be to give the new employee the option between a Mac and Windows. Amazing solution would if you then could pick your preference from a small list. E.g. MacBook Air, MBP and a Surface or something.

As an individual I tend to get the smallest car I need. I don't want to pay the extra costs of gas for a larger car. Thankfully, smaller cars don't have the embarrassing acceleration they did 5-10 years ago. I'm probably one of the few who prefer smaller cars; they're more nimble and easier to park.

They often seem surprised when I turn them down when renting.
I swear I've had images and videos switch places as I'm clicking on the search results tab.

Or maybe I have 15 years of expectation that images is going to be the second tab.

Edit: nope, just did a search, it started web images videos then right when the page finished loading it switched to web videos images

So only does search not work anymore, it's unnavigable

Edit 2: it's not just video, it rearranges the tabs based on relevance. "John wick" will move videos to the second spot. "San Francisco" will move news second and maps 3rd.

I get it, but I also don't.

I remember doing the Triplebyte quiz a few years ago and getting the response:

> "We really appreciate you taking the time to complete our quiz and coding problems. Unfortunately we couldn't accept your application this time."

It didn't show a score or anything, so I had no idea what I should improve on or what I was good at.

Pretty sure they hide the results so people can't cheat, but the whole experience left me feeling pretty inadequate and stupid for even trying...

After reading the comments from one of the founders in these threads, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Would you mind linking to your live-stream recordings? I love listening to choral chants and whatnot. Very soothing.
This was/is certainly true of the vast sheep stations. Sheep farming was a disastrous decision for Australia, made because British garment manufacturing needed more cheap wool[0]. IIRC this is part of that chapter of the book.

But recently, there's been much more of a move to less destructive practices. Lots of mediterranean-type farms (olives, wine, etc) more suitable to the soil and climate.

[0]anecdata: in the late 80's I worked on an English sheep farm, at 100 sheep to the acre, and cut their toenails. I also worked on an Aussie sheep farm, at 100 acres to the sheep, and had to kill flyblown sheep being eaten alive by maggots. Crazy contrast.
> Fox News have an identity tied to their media output, therefore if they consistently put out bad faith or incorrect representations of information then they will be identified and mentally blacklisted.

Just like vox.

> Fox News in particular has a wikipedia page dedicated to it[0]

Right and you can write a wiki article for vox and every other media outlet as well.

> The idea that "Snopes and media fact check are biased and inaccurate" is bordering on the insane.

No. You are right. They are unbiased. There are also, right-leaning fact checkers as well. Are they unbiased?

> If you can't trust the media _and_ you can't trust the people who keep an eye on the media, who can you trust?

Yourself. That's it and your ability to reason. Your ability to see vox, foxnews, nytimes, wapo, cnn, etc as propaganda sites and decipher the propaganda as best as you can.

> Deplatforming all media sources and those that seek to keep them in check just leaves you vulnerable to people who do not identify themselves feeding you biased information.

Your vox mentality is showing. Who is talking about deplatforming anyone? I'm pro-free speech and pro-free press. I don't want anyone deplatformed or censored. Oddly, the biggest champions of deplatforming are vox, cnn and most likely your favorite "news" sources.

> I don't trust myself, I can apply some amount of critical thinking to new information as it is presented but I can't be everywhere at once nor can I be an expert on all things.

Nobody at vox is an expert at anything. That much you can be absolutely sure about.

> If you depose all your information sources you will be left with information coming from unofficial sources, and that is not better because "unofficial" generally just means "unaccountable".

Actually, the authoritative/official sources are unaccountable as they have all the power. The "official" sources have started wars with their lies and led to millions of innocent people's deaths. Do they get held accountable? No, they get shifted to other "authoritative/official" sources like pedophiles priests get shifted to other diocese.

It's amazing how oblivious you are. You do realize that fox news is an "authoritative/official" source.

Exactly same issue a few years ago with The Times in the UK, with the ringing and very odd restricted availability hours, except they also said it was “technically impossible” to cancel without charging three more “monthly” charges.

The CEO coming in here and trying to defend that this is actually a great idea is only making things worse.

I'm guessing they don't operate in Europe, because this would be a massive violation of many European and national privacy regulations.

If it exists, it is not followed.

In France, Le Monde (most famous daily newspaper) requires you to send a paper mail (and not a regular mail, but a registered mail, which costs around 5-10€) to cancel your subscription. Even if you subscribed on the website, for a 100% online subscription.

After kicking around a bunch of these solutions and discovering that none of them work quite right or you still have to spend quite a bit on the hardware, I eventually bent the knee to Sonos recently. The interface is pretty garbage, but it just works and the sound quality is good.

Part of it was that I just don’t think I could face the wrath of my family when it didn’t work. I guess you get to a point in life when you have kids, and hours for tinkering are reduced so you need to pick your battles.

I like the Snapcast model though, it follows the Linux philosophy. From memory the audio stream is basically just wrapped along with a time stamp. Then you transfer those blocks to another device that plays them at the right time (where they’re unwrapped back into an audio stream).
I know. That's why I didn't say programmers. The bad quality of their hardware and software affects all power/pro users.
