You will be paid at the highest rate you can command based on the value of your skills in the labor force. If you have no relevant skills, you don't make much money until you do have relevant skills. You earn shit money and then build your skills and then you will no longer earn shit money. It's pretty simple and it is what happens to most minimum wage workers and workers in any sector of the economy.
Was always a fan of stripe and have recommended it to clients and integrated with it in the past. But recent stories have made me wonder. Yea maybe its just a ploy to give stripe some bad PR, but the stories ring true. Money corrupts

How does shutting down the office remove PTO obligations?

I worked at a company where we had 10 days of vacation + the office shut down for the last week of the year. Nobody had to use vacation time during that 1-week shutdown. If anything, it increased PTO accrued obligations because nobody had to use their PTO for time off during that week.
Cool to see another New Mexican on here!
No we are not within grasp. I work as a care worker and we are short staffed every day. You could deem the official work week 4 days but they would still need ya to work 5. All this would change is when someone would be deemed full time and when they can get benefits. The companies would still be short staffed but after declaring 4 days a week would be forced to pay overtime for the last day. There are no more workers available we are constantly trying to hire.

False.

T-Mobile for example had a major device theft issue with their mailed in device place for the upgrade program they used to run. No surprise, the process was to unlock phone, turn of find my iphone and send in the phone WITHOUT TRACKING to this random low bidder.

This was early in program, you couldn't turn device in at store (I tried). So I filmed myself mailing the device, because without a tracking number on the pre-printed label and an unlocked phone - 100% for sure these were getting jacked along the way.

If you use a brain dead process like this, you have to be bulletproof every step (mail pickup, sort, deliver, warehouse workers handing $1K+ devices etc).

Of course, the phone was reported as never having been received. Tired of the runaround and with the video I had I simply said, fair enough, I will persue this legally and part of that is going to be asking how many complaints you've received like mine (phone reported not turned in). Bamm, 2 days later I had my money.

Thankfully they then let you turn in at a store and I think started sticking at least tracking numbers on things so they'd have SOME sense of what was supposed to be coming in.

I believe it's normal, when a crime allegedly happened in public, for the police to go around and request security camera footage from businesses nearby. At least, it is something that happens in my area.
Christmas eve is usually a work day for the vast majority of the world, even the out-of-touch white collar minority. We benefit from the fact that (a) the work is easy, (b) not much of it gets done and (c) you go home 1/2 way through the day. You sound even more out of touch than the rest of us if you think this is "barbaric".

They go hand in hand.

Why do the workers have the lowest negotiating power in these jobs? It's because they are the most easily replaced and the net benefit from employing them is smallest.

[There are some edge cases, where a field is swamped from people doing the job for the love of it... But this is not the typical case.]
Yes a NUC or NAS could do the job as well, so my interest is more of a fun learning experience.

Is this unusual? A quick google search shows Trump issued an executive order just last year to give the day off to federal employees, but Wikipedia doesn't list it as a federal holiday.
I could maybe see that for some specialized case, but for the general case it seems like the more independent, distributed things you're juggling, the more likely you are to end up with security holes in the first place. The time you have to spend on security would have to be spread too broad and thin.
Oh yeah. ZFS is mature on a whole different level than BCacheFS, too. As a bystander and potential user, if I have a hope for BCacheFS it's once it makes it into the mainline kernel, it attracts more developers and grows into a community project with versioned releases and all that. I imagine that its author hopes the same.

there was obviously some other issues with the whole scheme, but i think long-term the massive expansion of TLDs still holds promise to neutralize domain-parking.

the big problem is the scarcity of .com domains along with people's insistence on needing the .com because it is "better".
"always sounds appealing" implies the same thing happens every year to parent comment. either you dont enjoy it or you do? its not like the type of exercises change year to year. theyre coding challenges everytime.

Where's the SD card on a Pixel?
I've had the opposite happen in Google Maps (the activity history). It marked biked segments as occurring in a car.

Not quite sure how it happened. I probably outpaced motor vehicle traffic (I do so more often than not, in an urban environment). But that circumstance itself should have suggested the need for additional logic
> You've never heard someone use "they" in reference to a singular person?!

Not until the last couple years.

I often heard "man" or "him" used in a gender neutral manner, and whether it was neutral or not came from the context. "Guy" usually referred to males, but sometimes was gender neutral, again from the context.

In the late 70s there was a move to things like "postman => postal worker", "chairman => chairwoman or chairperson", "bowman => archer", "stewardess => flight attendant", etc. But never "they" as singular.

Sometimes one saw "his or hers", "he or she", etc., but rarely as it is kinda clunky to use.

Neither do I. I want to see how they work through the problem, focusing on the problem. The IDE takes their focus away in my experience, they start correcting the squiqlies and adding extra bits of syntax that don't matter in a pseudo-code setting (such as adding closing brackets they forgot earlier) to avoid auto-spacing issues and so on.
I mean most other tech people I know just take a de facto half day on Friday or "Worked" from home that day.
Readers of Nassim will also recognize his critiques of academia are mainly targeted at social sciences and similar fields that can only “prove” their findings statistically, where p-hacking and incorrect use of models and wrong distributions and the like result in bad findings passed off as good.

That’s not the case with computer science, at least in systems subfields like filesystems, where theories can be implemented in isolation and shown to either work or not.

One of the problems with low wage work is that it also sucks down all of your time AND you can't afford to take time off--unpaid. The only way to get a new job is finding another low paying job that can hire you on the spot. There is no time for personal growth...job hunting and interviewing. Getting out from underneath it requires a massive time and energy investment that a lot of people cannot maintain for the length of time needed.
It is a win-win. They force other businesses who can't buy a machine to pay a higher floor. If no jobs exist at all those voters will bring in someone who will tax companies like yours and spread the wealth. Your company gets more productive.

Paying some a lower wage because it delays another machine purchase is not a long term solutiom
Of course these games are often mod friendly so multiplayer demolition derby mode shouldn't take too long to happen, right?
This is not my experience. Overseas devs have only gotten better and more tightly aligned with the west in the past 10 years. The idea of throwing your work over then fence to the cheapest jurisidiction may have died but there are significant cost savings in going overseas, especially as westerners get more expensive and remote work grows

Ask HN: Founders, how are you managing your mental and physical health?
I'm a neophyte founder (FT founder since July 2021) working on an HR product that helps employers detect and address burnout in the workplace (https://www.mychangelab.com/). As you all know, knowing something only partially protects you from those pitfalls. Startup life has been lonely, full of uncertainty, exhilarating, full of hope, and everything in between (and this all happens in the course of one day)! I find that I need to be extra vigilant and diligent to be active on a daily basis, take frequent breaks, and eat healthy foods (meaning eating something other than my son's Halloween candy stash and takeout).

In an effort to combine work and exercise, I've been organizing founder hiking meetups.

How are you all managing work and healthy routines to maintain physical and mental health? I'd love to hear your personal stories whether you are trying something new, looking for new routines, or have great routines to share!
Indeed, when my Pixel 1 abruptly failed it would not turn on at all. Not merely briefly, not a boot loop, it was truly a brick and there was no way to alter what was on it. I thought it was unfortunate that it happened a mere few months past the end of warranty, but at least that way I didn't send it back to Google. Instead, a local school got it for the students to disassemble in a technology course.

Now, I don't store nudes on my phone. That said, it was recently suggested to me, here on HN, to use a scanner app in lieu of a flatbed scanner for all my scanning needs (primarily documents around tax time). Not so sure that's a good idea versus this.
To me that's exactly the problem: I don't care if they call it sort or orderBy and so on, and I make this abundantly clear. Them spending time and mental energy to change the order of params or other things like that distracts from the core issues we are trying to solve together.

It's good to gauge if they are hiring you due to demand increase (because new funding, new project etc.) or as replacement (might be nice opportunity, might be shity).

First option might be shit as well if they are failing and trying outsourcing, got money but no clue etc.

I always ask about current challenges, plans for this quarter/year etc.

Some startups/companies are in such chaos mode that can't answer 1month+

I also always ask who I will be working with, so mostly size/structure of the team but often people share more.

If you want to gauge maturity ask about infra/testing flow.

IMO it's easy to spot(not find) good people as they are simply honest, sharp , polite and easy and it's hard to fake it.

Although I fallen into trap once and not asked why they are hiring. I had good vibes from team and tech but product was shit.

Also good to know how they are making money. Re-selling your time? Making product? Profitable? What delivered already? Scam? Goverment money? Monopoly? Don't ask about it but try to gauge if not obvious
this shits is just as same as quora and pinterest w3school and apidock

Ask HN: Is Timeshare a Scam?
I was in Vegas last week and decided to go on a timeshare presentation (obviously for free tickets to a show and free hotel). Here is what I observed and now I'm trying to understand how this kind of business practice is still operating and if there are any other business that operate in similar manner?

1. They lure you into 2 hr sales presentation by offering free tickets and hotels (Which later I realized are not very good)

2. They make you go through a presentation highlighting how their service is much better than traditional hotels. They talk about inflation and how your money is being wasted using hotels for vacation. (May be using some fancy terms and numbers to influence people)

3. They pair you with an individual sales rep, who tries to sell you. They highlight benefits, hiding all recurring cost associated with it. Emotionally pressure you into accepting the fact that you are not taking enough vacation and how you are not caring about you and your family's need.

4. They focus on the fact that you "Own" it without explaining how you own anything.

5. They force you to make decision right then and there. Because the sales agent know that if a customer is interested in buying it there are much better pricing available in secondary market if they do some research.
