> Oh, I agree. But 3 months seems crazy to me. If I have an open position and it isn't filled in ~4-6 weeks, it often gets given to some other team (on the basis that if I really needed that position filled, I'd do so). I can't plan hiring over that timeframe.

If you're in a culture (locality + industry) where a position can be filled in 4 weeks, that's one thing. If you're in a culture where every experienced person has 3 months of notice, then nobody would take your inability to fill a position within weeks to mean that you don't really need it.

I have some experience with part-time contracting with US customers. Seeing how quickly people can join or leave there is certainly a culture shock!

I'm looking to leave my current job but if voluntarily leave in my first year I have to surrender my signing bonus.

It's certainly a crushing feeling to be chained to a job. Even worse are these stupid 2 weeks or unimaginable 3 months notice. As everyone says- you'll never get notice you're being fired. It'll be quick like a mob hit.
I want to feel sorry for them and really I do, but seeing past the total shudder-worthy response I have to spiders (particularly large groups of them) is really hard...
"Meanwhile, long-term harms from vaccination are entirely speculative."

I don't think this is a safe thing to say about mRNA vaccines, which are brand new. IIRC one of the vaccines is essentially an old-style vaccine made for COVID, and for that one you may be able to reasonably say that, but not the new stuff that has never been mass-deployed before.

Nor does this mean they're automatically bad either. There's always a first time for something new. I'm just saying that it isn't really justified to apply decades of experience with one type of vaccine to another blindly.
And that is why I choose to host "my company" at the big names: homepage directly with Wordpress instead of a smaller local provider, office directly with MS and so on.

Because, even there might be cheaper solutions, at least I can be sure to have a huge org in place to make sure stuff is up. And to find ways to get stuff back up and running in case something goes south. I value that peace of mind a lot.
And ham is not bacon.
Well, I feel like maybe READMEs and manpages have two different goals in mind. READMEs often serve multiple purposes: be a introduction, small tutorial, demos and also reference. While manpages have only one goal, to provide a interface for browsing and reading system reference manuals. So yeah, they are dry, because that's the point. They are supposed to be used as references, not as introductions to a subject.
For $1M they can get the new version of the same system installed and likely get a step by step walkthrough of the whole thing by any number of new engineers they want. Also it's a public hospital - for a fraction of $1M they could get people who's only job is to replicate that system running around with pen and paper - they wouldn't have $1M to just drop on a support issue the same day.

In context of this case - if they don't have money to fix their backups (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26539988) they likely couldn't drop lots of cash without a serious credit line.
Certainly a better option to spend money in short term.

While there is very little one can improve about electric drivetrain, because even a highschooler can make a 90% efficient one, acing the manufacturing still needs huge "experience cost."
There's no way for a person to know for sure how old another person is. Many girls at 17 have reached sexual maturity and could be 25 from their looks. Calling a 17yo a "child" is not accurate.

there's a reason stores ask for an id when it comes to selling liquor up into women (and men as well!) 30s. I have no idea about legality about prostitution in the carrabean.

In addition to that, many countries have laws that arent as inane as the US when it comes to sex between teenage minors and adults, for most of Europe it's between 14 and sixteen, although rules for a maximum legal partner age may further restrict this.

I'm not saying I think Minsky was unanware, nor do I say I think his actions are right or even non repelling, but I think it's very clear where rms is coming from.
Not really related to the subject of the article, but your comment reminds me of employers in Romania complaining they can't find people to hire, while they offer small salaries and people just leave the country for better paying jobs abroad. The solution to their problem is really simple: make better offers.

I climbed Mt. Etna once (in Sicily). It wasn't erupting at the time but there were active lava flows etc. The scary thing was that even though conditions were relatively benign, a sudden change of wind direction blew a stream of sulphorous-smelling air in the direction of our group and we all had to run back down to the chair lift gasping for air.
I am in the Netherlands, and my current contract stipulates that should they want to get rid of me, the company has to notify me 4 months in advance, whereas should I want to leave, I need to notify them 2 months in advance.

Do you have any sources on the legality of different notice periods in Europe?

One of the chief takeaways of the 19th century (not just in the United States, but around the world) seems to be lost on us today: slavery is expensive.

What we have here is a system wherein cheap labor is provided to the war machine, but the accoutrements of the bondage are exorbitant, so these costs are spread across society. It's the economics of the fugitive slave laws all over again.

I understand what you've written to mean that you're advocating for artificially crippling software.

This whole conservation thread has been about `navigator.hardwareConcurrency`. I understand what you're saying (browser apps shouldn't have access to this field and native apps should also have the same anti-fingerprinting restrictions you want for browser apps) to mean that even native applications shouldn't be allowed to know the number of threads they can run. That would cripple lots of software.

If that's not what you're saying, then I re-iterate my question to another user from down-thread: what is your proposal? How would you suggest we make it possible to maximize software performance without leaking the user's fingerprint?

I submit that, whatever proposal you make, would either not significantly impact fingerprintability or be fundamentally useless for running software. It's not just that the systems that we have are imperfect, it is that the ideal is impossible to achieve.

Browsing habits alone identify you. Ad networks and shady app developers collude on the backend, selling their databases to each other. No browser-side security policy could prevent it. If you could force a fantasy world where all software running on your local machine was written exclusively by your own self, including a browser that could only send GET requests that you initiate from the address bar, or linked images from the same domain--100% trust in your local systems, 100% trust in no transmission of internal state--you're still completely trackable.

This is why I call it privacy fetishism. You can't create a technology solution to this problem. The very act of connecting to the network requires you put a huge degree of trust into the organizations that run the stuff you're connecting to, otherwise even benevolent actors won't be able to deliver the products and fulfill the services you actively request of them. You want privacy? You will have to stop doing business with anyone doing business with Facebook.

I'm not saying "give up on privacy and share everything in the open". I'm saying these foolhardy attempts at obscuring identity online do nothing torwards their goal, can do nothing torwards their goal, and only achieve making the browser a bad platform for software. All else being equal, I'd rather the browser be good at running software.
Didn't they suspend the vaccine because it was causing blod clots or something?
I use it as the back-end for most of my web apps. One or two free plugins and I never have to think about managing users again. I.e. I never have to write a "reset password" flow again. I can just get onto writing the core functionality of the app.
It's good advice, but bizarrely some browsers ignore Referrer-Policy, even when it requests "no-referrer", which basically increases the privacy level to the maximum possible - beyond for example the origin-only settings which the browser defaults are now tending towards (such as with this Firefox update).

In my testing, all recent versions of Safari on iOS were the worst offenders here. I talked more about this here: https://twitter.com/arbuge/status/1354805900268105743

You would think that Safari would jump at the chance to show no referrer, given Apple's attempts to position themselves as champions of user privacy, but for some reason the opposite is in fact true.

One option harms every child and potentially saves some parents' lives.

The other harms practically no children and will likely lead to some more parents dying, although the data is unclear (as death rates in states with much more open schools is not consistently higher).

Harm all kids to save a few parents on the margin...potentially? Do the cost-benefit.

>Where? Even within the US, prostitution laws vary wildly.

I guess it's fortunate we have that information:

Minsky is from Massachusets: illegal.
Guifreye and Epstein Florida: illegal.
Little St. James: illegal.

>Did Minsky know that they weren't adults? Do you have a source for that?

You entirely missed the point. A 60 year old man sleeping with someone young enough to be his granddaughter is disgusting. Full stop. The fact that AT BEST he knew she was a prostitute being sex trafficked makes it worse.

>Wrong. Not even by definition. If you disagree, show me a valid definition of sex trafficking that includes "flying to an island to have sex with voluntary prostitutes".

It is LITERALLY the definition:

>the illegal business of recruiting, harboring, transporting, obtaining, or providing a person and especially a minor for the purpose of sex
Have you ever burnt a resistor?

I've posted this before but it's important. We did not screw them. We just wrote a decent contract, and they wrote an awful one.

Essentially whether the UK contract has been fulfilled is pretty black and white where the EU one is significantly less so.

See below:

> "The level of specificity is partially due to the legal systems they're based on. The U.K. contract is written in English law, which will judge whether both parties delivered the goods based on the exact wording of the contract. The EU contract is written in Belgian law, which focuses on whether both parties tried their best to deliver the goods and acted in good faith.

It's these extra details that give the U.K. more leverage to ensure its contract is delivered effectively. While both contracts say all parties will make their “best reasonable effort” to deliver the vaccine, the U.K. government is clearer in asserting its oversight of the agreement.

This core difference, according to a lawyer familiar with the development of the U.K. text, can be chalked up to the fact that the contract sealed with London was written by people with significant experience of purchasing agreements, specifically drug-buying deals. The European Commission’s contract, by contrast, shows a lack of commercial common sense, in the lawyer’s view.

The starkest example of this difference is a clause in the U.K. contract stating that if any party tries to force or persuade AstraZeneca or its subcontractors to do anything that could hold up the supply of the vaccine doses, the government may terminate the deal and invoke what appear to be punishment clauses — although these are largely redacted.

Have you read the comments in question?
Wasn't this model a reason for the decline of the US public transit system? I remember reading somewhere that in cities like LA, transit companies build little frequented lines to properties they themselves developed, just to drive house prices up. After the properties were sold, the companies lost interest in maintaining the lines, and the system quickly deteriorated.
Are you saying that over a time period longer than a conversation or argument people who committed to learning a topic in depth were able to alter prior beliefs that were based in their lived experiences?
I remember Rob Pike talking about how each language has its own way of doing things and it's bad to keep adding all features to all languages. This only makes them all end up being the same he said.

So the summary is that the UK has a better contract with AZ than the EU?
As a European, I feel like this decision finally makes it so that the EU prioritizes its citizens' health and its economy in front of other third countries.

Hopefully they follow up with Pfizer and Janssen until such time that at least 50% of the EU is vaccinated.

They want people using their app, for some reason I don't understand. Maybe to make ad-blocking harder by getting people off computers where it's easy (most mobile browsers don't support plugins, so it can't be about them).
Yeah, petty revenge, basically :) I put a nichrome wire, in yellow plastic cover, between Vcc and Gnd. I told him to ensure that the circuit matched the schematic. He didn't remove the wire, so once he powered the thing up, it caught fire. I don't know if the circuit worked with it removed (it should have, but I wasn't present when the assignment was due).
Some training material not based in reality.

The idea that men and women are the same, is one not borne out by facts and evidence, yet it’s still being pushed by extremists who ignore the science.

The suggestion that differences in men and women are a result of sexism is not borne out by facts and evidence either.

Rather than trying to force google translate to lie (Suggest that men and women are the same), perhaps we should just accept the truth - eg that most Plumbers are men.

Yes exactly. Sometimes they ask you if you can negotiate with your employer to shorten this period, which is often the case.

Of course, they would rather it was shorter, but hiring is already a multi-months long process in most cases, so a few more months is inconvenient, but not the end of the world. If you need someone now, you hire contractors.

50% of companies who lose all of their data go out of business within 6 months. They clearly failed to test their backups with regularly-tested restores. And, a separate alternative system should've had multiple revisions of critical pieces of information like customers, assets, inventory, bank accounts, debts, and employees.

A data recovery shop could attempt to forensically-reconstruct SMS numbers. Look for logs and other places critical deets might be found. Try your best to get things back and make alternatives processes to piece together what you can. A phone carrier or SMS send provider might have a log of phone numbers. The paycheck company may even have the address of everyone. Send them a $0.01 paycheck with a note on them to call in.

I would ride it out for a paycheck because it's not like it could get worse than going under. Just be sure to get paid.

Maybe there's less variance and less room at the top end in CA and AU? That could explain our conflicting views.

That's called priorities. I'm sure as every public hospital it pays a lot money in salaries to those protecting and growing their personal fiefdoms within the hospital.

If your manager does that, you can say "No". They still can't fire you without paying you your 3 month wages.
> Why is that a better question?

It's a better question assuming that one's primary goal is to find a solution to the problem. OTOH if one is mainly interested in hand-wringing, then the question is pretty irrelevant.
The UK included a provision where all AZ UK manufactured vaccines would go to UK, where the EU didn't elect to include that clause with Pfizer, as they thought other countries will offer a fair playing field.
Since the same base rules apply for everyone this usually doesn't happen, plans are built accordingly and recruitments take into consideration those time scales.
I believe Redux is good when you have 3+ people working on the same project front-end, and absolutely necessary when you have 10+. This makes it work great with the Facebook, Airbnb, etc. of the world.
