From my experience Microsoft is the worst one about disappearing messages. You send a message to an Outlook user, they say it's delivered, but then the recipient just never gets it. At least putting it in spam means they can eventually find it if they check there.
Here's my experience (and future plans):

My wife took a 6 month unpaid sabbatical about a year after we moved in together. She had been with the same company for 10 years at that point. She saved up about four months worth of rent and we just stopped eating out as much, and she paid for the rest with a ~4% personal loan through her local credit union. I think it was paid off within three months.

More recently, my wife took off 1 month unpaid maternity leave. During pregnancy we both saved about 10% of our disposable income, and this more than covered her portion of the living expenses during this month.

So, in the five years I've known my wife, she's taken 7 months unpaid leave. That's not a huge amount of time, but at the same time, definitely helped her avoid burnout. And we didn't have to chip in to long term savings for her to do it. I work in a different industry and job hop more often, so I just take 3 weeks unpaid in-between jobs, which is a mild strain on finances, but not significant. Other than the mortgage and boat payment we don't carry any long term debt and continue to save for retirement.

As for future plans, in about five years we're planning on taking an unpaid year off, just before our kids go to primary school, but plan on doing that in a low cost of living area. Most of that year will be paid for using savings set aside for that, with any run-over paid for with low interest loans. Will it impact the long tail of my retirement? Probably to some degree, but I'd rather spend my time, now, with my kids, rather than rot away in a retirement home wishing I hadn't worked so much.
I understand that sentiment. I'd rather not be working at all, but alas.

I built one as well, and with a whole bunch of other sensors (CO, CO2, alcohol/VOC, O3, PM2.5, PM10, humidity, magnetic field, IMU to detect earthquakes, and even a Geiger counter).

Only problem is I found the PMSA003I always reports PM2.5 = 0 when actual values are anywhere below 100ish. It only begins to detect after that.

> a) it introduces private healthcare decisions, a legally fraught topic they do not want to deal with.

Weaponizing (perhaps too aggressive a word) private health decisions feels weird to me. The OP didn't mention any health concerns, so I'm assuming you're suggesting he just hide behind fictitious ones?

Your advice is probably useful and could potentially get him what he desires, but it still feels off to me. It feels especially off because I've seen people use the same approach so they can avoid wearing masks in public.

You can very, very easily filter email in the same way to get the same result.

Just because companies haven't invaded WhatsApp yet doesn't mean they aren't trying, they are, and they already invaded everywhere else.

Yes, but they are opt in, right?
You want an NDIR CO2 sensor such as an SCD30 or a T6713 and not an electrochemical sensor.

Electrochemical sensors respond to CO2 and other VOC gases and give you an "eCO2" reading, and you can never be really sure if it measured CO2 or something else, and require frequent calibration. They suck.

NDIR CO2 sensors work by emitting IR light and measuring the CO2 by its IR absorption band, and are much more accurate at singling out only CO2 among other gases.
> could we see Facebook banned from the EU?

I wish they were banned from the EU, for a variety of reasons. As an American living in Croatia, I can affirm that social media works differently abroad and it is a lot more pleasant.

Facebook is probably exploiting a loophole. The European Commission [1] should make an example out of them.

"More than 90% of Europeans say they want the same data protection rights across the EU and regardless of where their data is processed." [2]

Facebook will lose some in this, but they will reap some benefits, by trying the Germany route, or they would not be attempting this. They probably have some carte blanche (wild card) that they plan on playing.

The EU should make an example of them. Facebook have always been in contempt of the GDPR, and are certainly perpetually violating it.

Data privacy is not a joke. It is a legal framework in the EU. Also, it is about respect of others and not abusing their rights. Yes, it is a right in the EU: "The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights stipulates that EU citizens have the right to protection of their personal data." [3]

I mean that was literally their business model until Facebook purchased them. It was a successful stand-alone company!

And now look at it. The bad drives out the good.
This sounds like capitalism at work! And, not in a bad way for once haha.

I've always found it interesting that the plague was one of the major drivers of the elimination of serfdom in western Europe. When half the population died, workers suddenly found themselves in high demand. They were able to demand better working conditions and dramatically higher wages. [1]

I'm hoping for a softer version of this in high unemployment payments.

Personally, I'm ok with business who can't afford to pay employees a living wage going under and being replaced by ones that are willing to.

Your points are even more valid when you start to move to different counties. You quickly realise that people in other countries often don’t use the apps you are using, in fact you most likely won’t have heard of the apps they are using.

But “everyone is using X” they will tell you, but you’ll have no way to know for sure. Are you really going to install every piece of software people say to install?

At least with email, it just works and there are minimal security issues, and it’s an open protocol etc etc, even if it’s a bit old fashioned.
Apple advertises their own iPads as computers now, they certainly don't want their customers to look at iPads and think, "that's great, now I'm going to buy a real computer instead".

Just because most of us on HACKERnews write code doesn't mean your average 'computer user' does. iPads work very well as computer replacements for the majority of people who just want to browse the web/do shopping/use their favourite video and other media viewer etc etc.

I tend to agree with this POV. However, even I have to admit that VS Code (which this IDE is based on) is pretty much the poster child of Electron done right. For many languages it's quite literally IDE level of functionality, for less resources than most IDEs I've worked with (especially looking at you, JetBrains), extensions included. Of course YMMV, but it's been working pretty well for me. Hell, I've already had Slack take more resources (depending on the project).

> I would be very surprised if Facebook lost this battle.

What does losing the battle means for Facebook in your view? Continuing to operate in Germany after yielding to it's regulation or, leaving Germany (cutting service for German-based requests) to avoid yielding to the regulation?
It made me really sad to read this. It may sound glib, but can I suggest you buy a motorcycle? It doesn't have to be that, of course, but that worked for me. I think you might need the opposite of focus. A hobby.
That's why I put the "(or other commercial exploitation, Facebook is an ad company after all)" there. And the difference, as you already note yourself, is splitting hairs. It's the kind of thing you find in a novel, making a deal with the devil who then goes to trick you on a technicality.

They're selling the fact that they have the data. They're selling limited access to the data. It's just exploiting the resource to the maximum gain; if they sold the user data itself they'd be selling the crown jewels and obsolete themselves.
There’s nothing preventing you from automatically filtering those emails. All of my GitHub / CI emails go straight to a subfolder. All spam gets added to filters, etc.

Depending on the registrar you use, you can set up a 2nd inbox or aliases for junk mail and filter anything that goes to those, etc.

Well, there's no other visible revenue source currently, but (a) we don't know what the ad/user data revenue looks like down to the finer details¹, and (b) theoretically they could have planned to turn it into a subscription service (pretty unlikely, but who knows…)

I feel "high ideals" can have an impact on job satisfaction. It's safer to take the pay check and practice your ideals outside the job. If you seek ideals at work and your ideals clash with your company or boss it can be devastating.

Walking out is one way to communicate that you want to be free to live the ideals you choose...

The original concern was about "excessive alerts" annoying the user with new popups/sound etc. This is unobtrussive.

It's potentially useful information, that can just show the last 2-3 entries, and consumed at will. So not really like spam.

>If there's a red dot next to the "find my" icon every day you go home you're going to tune that out as well.

Most of the time, and it can auto-tone itself down, so it's only shown when you should actually pay attention.

I gave the example of when you're back home, and the same airtags that were potentially "following" you on the subway (e.g. some strangers' airtag) - no longer follow you, so it's ok for the red dot to go back to green.

But if a foreign airtag is close consistently (the same foreign one), it could show the red dot.
Oh, sort of like why learn to ride a bike when you can just get a car or a moped?
It depends, most digital companies will accept remote so long it is in the same state or country.
But other countries and time zones are the demarcation line, so to say. Often due to taxes or regulations.
Some FAANG plus Twitter have many forever remote positions, but with geographic limits.
That's a neat (sort-of) perk. I didn't know that. Thanks!
Hot fire, stoked with forced air. HDDs rely on magnetism, bringing the platters above the Curie temperature destroys all information - 570 °C (1,060 °F) . SSDs, I'm actually not sure, but I imagine a bed of white-hot coals will render any electrical charge in those tiny cells undecipherable. Heat increases the ability of electrons to tunnel (jump out of potential wells) so at some temp, the traps will leak all their charge.

I'm not a semiconductor guy so I'm not making any claims.
Hi, founder of AirGradient here. Great to see that somebody submitted our open source DIY sensor instructions here!

As last time I am more than happy to send free PCBs to anybody who wants to build this sensor. It makes the build much easier as you don't have a lot of cables to handle. You just need to paypal me the postage fees.

It'd be cruel to continue to imprison this sentient being who has learned not to kill. Also, why Keter class? It doesn't seem to have any magical ability to escape captivity.
I would like to see union competition. You have a spectrum of 1000 jobs. You ask 3 unions to submit sealed quotes to perform this jobs.
All are given minute details on job description, detains, etc. and applicants are allowed to have a dozen workers learn these jobs and perform them over a 30 day period.
Each applicant then has to round up the 1000 workers (or open as submittal process).
Once hired the people would be trained and will then work for the next 3 years. An annual rolling new hire process would also operate to replace the turnover.
No, it's just hyperbole.

Because you're only willing to pay $300k and not 10 times that for a GMA T.50.
It's not illegal to pay people to leave. But if your thought is that $10k is enough to get them back on their feet so that they won't be homeless anymore, why not just give them the $10k without the other part? It would both be cheaper to implement and also keep the money circulating inside the state instead of going somewhere else.

FLOC and differential privacy are very different. They may seem to overlap because they both detect behavior on device, and with some measure of anonymity transmit some kind of derived data off device, but their purposes are entirely different, as is the link of the derived data back to your specific device.

FLOC is meant to "anonymously" quantize you into one of several thousand peer groups (based on sites visited,) so that google can get an essence of who YOU are, and share it with every site you visit. The information gleaned follows you, and sites respond to your specific behavior profile group.

Differential Privacy is more like an anonymous survey every device answers with plausible deniability, so that Apple can get general information about the user base as a whole, completely not attributable to you or linked back to you in any way. The information gleaned does not follow you, and can never be used to address you specifically.
You're coming from a position that email is good and it's worth configuring it to work well. But I don't particularly like email. I have zero interest in setting up aliases or filters when the problem simply doesn't exist when I use a better tool.

Yes the senseair S8 is very reliable. Our professional air quality sensor uses the same CO2 sensor and we have hundreds of them deployed without a single one failing so far.

Only need to keep in mind that the baseline calibration sometimes needs 1-2 weeks to kick in but you can also force a manual calibration.

In general NDIR CO2 sensors are quite reliable but you should stay away from TVOC sensors that give an eCO2 (estimated CO2) value. These are often very off and I would not recommend to use TVOC sensors for CO2 measurement.
If the standard is built into all future WiFi standards you might have no choice in having to install those devices. If you want to obtain the fastest speeds/range/features etc.

IME, the most common reason for delaying fixes are due to organizational dysfunction, not technical complexity. You can spend a lot of time arguing whose job it is to make the fix, what the best way to make the fix is, what sprint it all should go into, and are you sure it's not team Y that really should change their code to deal with this? Let's meet to discuss that..

One experiment suggests that time is an emergent property of quantum entanglement. [1]

"A static, entangled state between a clock system and the rest of the universe is perceived as evolving by internal observers that test the correlations between the two subsystems. We implement this mechanism using an entangled state of the polarization of two photons, one of which is used as a clock to gauge the evolution of the second: an "internal" observer that becomes correlated with the clock photon sees the other system evolve, while an "external" observer that only observes global properties of the two photons can prove it is static."

Adding true clauses (e.g. some people want an iphone to project success) doesn't necessarily make a true argument. The conclusion must also be supported by the clauses.

In this case, an argument which amounts to:

"People need to have an iPhone because some business owners feel they need it to project success, thus Apple has a monopoly on something essential"

is so random it can't be even be called wrong.

Whether some "business owners" feel they need an iPhone to "project success" doesn't mean anything, and is an absolutely moot point as to whether Apple is a monopoly, or even as to whether the iPhone is an essential good, or whatever else you had in mind.
You have mischaracterized the original agreement.
