It's true that they probably won't sue you for breach of contract, though they can, but if you just walk out of a job, you're at the risk of ruining your professional reputation, arguably the most precious resource. There aren't many other things that would be as much of a red flag when hiring as an employee that just decided to walk out of a job.

Of course if you have good reasons to stop working, there are good options. If it's stress or similar mental health issues, you can resign and spend your notice period on sick leave. If your employer assaults you or just stops paying, or otherwise grossly neglects their duties as an employer, you're legally entitled to quit immediately.
The price difference is similar to the price difference between a bespoke hand-built car and a car built on an assembly line. And for similar reasons.
I investigated this once (while I was sitting around doing not much during a 3 month notice period, funnily enough). It's as you say, the breach of a contract is something where the employer would have to sue you for damages, and if you're sitting around not doing much, it's going to be hard to argue that losing you has caused them harm, much less enough to make it worth suing over.

I didn't break the contract anyway out of some combination of feeling like it was breaking a promise and the worry that Cambridge is a small town.

How about eliminating meat ag altogether since it's a waste of resources, a significant component of man-made climate change, a pandemic risk, a major source of pollution, driver of deforestation, and poses a threat to antibiotic resistance?

Right...but in this specific case, Stallman was loyal because he didn't think his (at that point deceased) friend did it, and in the end he was right. So this seems like a good example of why it's appropriate to withhold judgement until the facts are in.

Also worth noting: Minsky was never actually accused of anything. His name came up in a case and the press & twitter hordes went on a rampage. That's what Stallman was reacting to. It really bothers me that the press outlets that went with "Famed AI Researcher Raped Children" aren't even being discussed, but the guy who said "Did he really, though? I think we should wait for more info" was (and still is) being dragged over the coals for it, even after he was vindicated.

I first heard about Claude Glass while reading "Landmarks"[0] by Robert Macfarlane. While Claude Glass was only briefly mentioned, "Landmarks" itself is one of those wonderfully deep books that invites slow reading. The richness of nature language (that we seem to be losing) has been rewarding for me to explore through Macarlane's experience. I paid attention to nature before, but since starting to read "Landmarks" I have more regularly zoomed in on details and how features of the landscape vary subtly from place to place.

The devil is in the details, like: how do you get it done?
What makes you think it's "extremely unlikely" that this virus was developed in a lab, and who do you think you're agreeing with?

> “It was very unlikely that anything could escape from such a place,” Ben Embarek said during the Feb. 9 WHO press conference, citing the team’s discussions with Wuhan lab officials about their safety protocols and audits. “If you look at the history of lab accidents, these are extremely rare events.”

> Yet lab accidents aren’t rare.

> What’s rare are accidents causing documented outbreaks. But those have happened, including in 2004 when two researchers at a lab in Beijing unknowingly became infected with another type of SARS coronavirus, sparking a small outbreak that killed one person.

> In the weeks since leaving Wuhan, the WHO’s team has been questioned about its independence and depth, including by the Biden administration, amid media reports that China denied the team access to raw data on possible COVID-19 cases that were identified during the earliest part of the outbreak.

> “We have deep concerns about the way in which the early findings of the COVID-19 investigation were communicated and questions about the process used to reach them,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement last month. “It is imperative that this report be independent, with expert findings free from intervention or alteration by the Chinese government.”

Why is the distinction between development and manufacturing relevant here? Have you read the article?

I'm not very familiar with IR35 as I've always been very multi-client focused but does this now mean a "contractor" earning >100k will be paying 40% income tax + 20% loss of personal allowance + 2% class 1 NIC and 13.8% employer NICs marginally in the 120-124k range? That's like 75% tax.

(I know people in that position would be dumping 40k into their pensions, etc. I'm just speaking hypothetically or for those earning, say, 180k-200k somehow.)
I agree, but to anyone considering setting up Pi-Hole make sure that you don't go "overboard" with blocklists. I did and ended up blocking too much, to where regular Instagram posts, post messages, etc. were removed. It also slowed down my internet considerably, but that could be due to the excessive blocking.

We ended up uninstalling Pi-Hole and removing it from our network, which was a pain in the neck. I remember that simply removing the blocklists wasn't enough to undo the damage, which is why we had to go with the removal from network route.

I've considered revisiting Pi-Hole in the future, and I'd definitely be more cautious that time around.

I have no reason to doubt that this is factual. However, I have serious doubt that management will acknowledge they made that decision.

Typically, this kind of decisions are made more or less implicitly during long meetings about priorities, often without any minutes. Managers will presumably try to hold (senior) engineers accountable as they had not made clear enough how important that was.

I obviously don't know who is right here.
The military is sort of a special case however. (And, of course, private employment contracts can make it financially onerous to break.)
> That such a simple thing is buried under & dependent upon an entire complex and untested/maintained DR plan is mind-boggling

I find this to pretty common in many setups where the engineers don't focus on simplicity and removing layers of abstraction. If the workforce is young and inexperienced, over-engineering tends to happen everywhere and you end with situations like this.

I have seen worse in my years in the industry, that's for sure.

I just checked for curiosity. The employer can sue for damages they'll have to show.

But there's some additional factors here. If the employer misses salary payments, then they're in breach of that employment contract, and unless they can't fix the situation really soon, that's grounds for immediate termination.

Also in Finland, salaries earned in a normal employment are backed by the state for up to 3 months of missed payments (the state will then try to collect from the employer). So it's relatively safe for an employee to stick with a sinking company. Just get that CV polished and start warming up the network.
This modern-day feudalism with corporations is really the root of the problem. Managers "patch" broken IT systems with lots of manual labor to actively avoid pointing out how some other manager's system is borked. They doom the company to spend hundreds or even thousands of man hours a year to work around these processes, refusing to allow it to be fixed, keeping the "power" and influence of the broken system with some other manager. They do this hoping to curry favor for the sake of their career prospects.

After 25 years, I'm an expert at making small, efficient software tools to fix local IT workflows. God knows, in the Fortune 250's I've worked at, there are endless opportunities. And, while I've written many solutions, I've seen this political game of thrones thwart my efforts many times. This is how you get the kind of 20-year legacy mess described in the original post: People sacrificing long-term success of the company for short-term success in their careers.

I guess there are 2 kinds of people. Those that think this is just how the world works, and find this to be a perfectly-cromulent way of getting through it, and those, like me, who find it odious. Luckily, I now work for people like me. We do what we can.
At my university we can see any student's transcript including scores through our faculty portal. But you're right, generally no one cares to look these things up.
The paper includes examples of Magic Kernel Sharp 3 (the original), 4, 5, and 6. The C code allows you to use any value 'a' of these "generations," and any version 'v' of the Sharp kernel listed in the paper (up to a = 6, v = 7), for any case you want to try. I may add more versions later.

The Sharp+ is just extra sharpening. It's included in the executable, but isn't fundamentally anything more than extra sharpening over what tries to be as-close-to-ideal resizing as possible.

> be more choosy about your training set and don't just snarf up reddit willy-nilly and go brrrrr

That's a much more interesting (and complex) conversation.

Siphoning raw Reddit/Wikipedia is the closest you'll get to an honest snapshot of our internet-based society (for all of its tremendous flaws).

One could make the case that we don't need an "honest snapshot of our internet-based society" to build a Translation app. But that's debatable...

Being "more choosy" will inherently introduce a different set of biases. Perhaps those biases align more closely with our core beliefs and values - but they serve as bias nontheless.
I'm a Tesla fan and love "electro-mods" - classics outfitted with battery packs - but this seems premature to me. There is 100 years of knowledge of these engines and moving to battery tech does not require quitting ICE entirely.
It depends on the type of goods. E.g., don't even think of buying any kind of battery on Amazon.

It now takes less time to hunt down a reliable specialist online supplier, e.g., [1] than it does to wade through all the fraudulent listings and fake reviews on Amazon to find even a plausibly reliable product/vendor.

At this point, despite being a 20+year loyal Amazon Prime customer, I'm finding It's a better use of my time to find a good vendor, often family owned.

[1] I currently use batteryjunction.com, seems reliable, in my region for quicker shipping, no connection other than customer, and there seemed to be others of similar good quality in other regions.

Facebook will be pitching to your Marketing folks that's exactly where you need it.

Facebook want data on what actions users took before signing up, which users actually signed up and started paying, and how that relates to revenue. This UI is exactly where they can determine these types of actions.

1. You're correct. It's most often phrased in terms of a spacetime interval, ds^2=dx^2-cdt^2, which is the "true", observer-independent distance between two events. You can divide by dt and rearrange to get a constant velocity c through spacetime. A different rearrangement lets you derive the gamma term from special relativity.

2. The dimensions are still independent. There are a total of five terms in the equation I just gave: ds (spacetime interval), dt (time), and dx (which is the three terms of space). You can express any one in terms of the others, leaving you with four independent variables.

The holographic view is a different phenomenon, derived from a basic integration of QM with GR (semiclassical gravity). It relies on the way black holes are complete information traps, so that only the surface area (and not the volume) are meaningful. (All of the information in it has to pass through the surface and nothing inside matters.) It also requires that energy be quantized; otherwise you get the dimension back via the infinite degrees of freedom of each particle.

So yes, you do get 3D spacetime, but only by completely rearranging everything. It doesn't pop directly out of general relativity. GR still requires 4 numbers to place any event.
What's wrong with @redux/toolkit ?

Just incrementally add reducer and you're good to go. With redux-thunk, devtools built-in, i don't need much more.

Better state management to replace redux to me requires another approach (maybe atom like ?)

I use Redux not (just) because its ecosystem and tooling. It's simply just because i found its API simple to use and scale.
Motors? Probably not much, their theoretical efficiency is super high and the practical one is reasonably close.

Batteries chemistry, battery management through software are the main targets. To really beat ICEs we need something like 15-20% more battery capacity per weight and per volume (so both smaller and lighter batteries), faster charging, more charging cycles, less battery capacity loss over time, in about this order.

And at least half this capital should go into infrastructure, in my opinion, primarily charging, better/smarter grid.
I 100% agree.

Even after the swine flu, bird flu, SARS, MERS, covid, HIV and other viruses, we are still keeping animals in confined spaces, butchering them and selling their meat on markets so we can consume parts of their dead bodies, hurting our planet and ourselves in the process.

It's a grim side of humanity.

edit: prions too, not just viruses.
It doesn't depend on my definition of crime. Common law jurisdictions distinguish between felonies and misdemeanors (crimes) and civil infractions (often called "fixed penalties" in the UK). I don't see anything in the article, and I don't see anything anything in the Town and Country Planning Act, that clearly says this is a crime instead of merely a regulatory offense.

It's a perfectly reasonable request, given the extremely strong claim made, for some amount of evidence for the claim. As has become bizarrely common in this thread, the torches and pitchforks came out regardless.
The nature of science is that experiments are repeated many times with slight variations before we consider that something is known.

This paper does add details I hadn't seen before - it shows that adding algae to the diet increases the efficiency of converting feed to body mass, and reduces feed intake. There was reason to believe that would happen, but I'm not sure it had been demonstrated experimentally.
The solution is easy, cheap, and only mildly inconvenient. Feed cattle some seaweed.
