Hah, so there's the problem right there. In Linux, you don't need to disable Bluetooth support, because it just freaking works.

Or your hardware doesn't have any Bluetooth and the relevant modules are never inserted.

Or you insert the module manually to send it a packet that will open a hole that... wait, to do that you need to have host and root access already.

My freaking god, when are fanboys going to grow a clue already?

Wolves are substantially bigger than dogs. As I understand it, wolves require a lot more calories to live, maybe twice as much. That causes major differences in time budget. Lions fornicate quite often, and it's important enough socially that wild animal rescue places don't neuter male lions, while they do neuter male tigers.

Thank you very much!

Can that be implemented with Square. There are a few payment APIs, but I don't know how to create a market place with them.
> After a week or month many of these packages will get updates sometimes making this CentOS system unusable or even unbootable (recent GRUB Boothole problem for example).

I sometimes feel like some people live in an alternate dimension where everything is broken all the time. I can't remember a single time that a Linux system I use was rendered unbootable from a regular update. It happened once, when I was messing around with nonfree Nvidia drivers under OpenSUSE, which had (has?) poor support for such things.

I know it does happen to some people once in a while, but I feel like some people complain about it as if it happened to them constantly.

While the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) did introduce a minimum medical loss ratio, insurers still have a strong incentive to hold down costs by encouraging use of cheaper generic medication so that they can offer lower prices to plan purchasers. Most medical insurance is purchased by employers and other group buyers, and they look closely at costs. In most cases, physicians have to obtain specific approval in order for more expensive medications to be covered.

I had a forced move for work a few years back - they imposed a deadline of a few months but after talking to the other managers and HR, I was able to push it back ~3 months. Basically I said I'm willing to move but I need more time to get it done (put house on market, etc.)

I think if this requirement is in good faith (well, as good as it can be given they are changing their minds on remote employment) and all you need is a few months before you can move, they could add some flexibility to this entirely self-imposed deadline.

On the other hand, I'd also start looking for another job.
Makes sense, everyone I met in college who said they were pre-med would immediately suffer narcissistic injury and refuse to be professional in any future context when I'd remind them Pitt has no pre-med program then go back to doing whatever I want on the wifi.

(I also met a few folks who took what they needed to do well on the MCAT then also did some practical courses on information science or focused on art so they could have something to do that would let them turn off their brain after work other than binge reality tv, and most of them are doing OK.)
Correct. You should not go to prison for tax dodging.
All the more considering the apparent motivation and justification for such a law—that it is "an indignity" for customers. If such a reason were to be seen as valid, what would be stopping a law that for instance banned customer-facing workers from wearing facemasks due to the resulting "indignity"?

I'm hardly a free-market purist, but this is a prime example of a let-the-market-decide problem. Let businesses decide if they need bulletproof glass or not, and let customers decide if they want avoid the bulletproofed stores if they feel affronted.

One may argue of course that, given the choice, all stores in certain areas would chose to install bulletproof glass, leaving the customers with no choice. If that were the case then surely the problem is much broader in scope than customer dignity.
This is what I'm thinking. I don't fully understand the regulations in place on emotionally-distressed people, but I do know for a fact that one of the questions on at least my last form was along the lines of "have you been checked into a mental institution."

At what point does someone with mental health issues lose their rights? I mean we're literally barring them from one of their constitutional rights, because they're depressed. I can come closer to understanding schizophrenics that don't know what's reality and what's not (that's a recipe for disaster), but merely being checked into a facility?
Don't quit. Make them fire you. It's a lot harder to collect unemployment benefits if the state thinks you left voluntarily.
Also, there's an opportunity cost to taking any job. If that job exhausts you (either physically or mentally), then you're not going to be able to put your best foot forward in the application process, which can be killer if you're an unconventional applicant.
Fact check! Gas in Alberta is $1.92/L. There are 3.78L/G(some argue 4l/G)

$1.92*3.78 = $7.26/G

Or $5.79USD/Gallon.

Alberta is the cheapest province for gas. Other provinces are more.

To me those are in the category of "nice to have", and the problem is that every developer has different preferences for these [1] [2]. But the main features of StrictYaml, like supporting comments and less syntactic noise, I think are pretty uncontroversial, and perhaps it's worth it to get people to switch over for those alone. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be a significant enough improvement over JSON, and I'd say those two features are more than enough

That is not true, inflation is exactly when the money supply increases. It doesn’t matter what happens to “good supply”. In fact the supply of goods increases in response to a price increase. That’s why most people think a low level of inflation is healthy.
Yikes. That's a long time, but maybe don't do that if you're a guest.
I've personally experienced inflation of greater magnitude -- in a developing country in the 1980's.

It affected behavior in ways that in hindsight were very counter-productive to economic stability: Every adult person and every business simultaneously tried to spend less, earn more, and hoard more -- which is impossible in the aggregate, because every expense by one person or business is income for another person or business. No matter what anyone did, the currency would lose value week after week, month after month. And everyone felt... powerless, unable to do anything about it.

John Maynard Keynes wrote what I think is the most insightful description of what living with high inflation is like: "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."[a]

Lexical gap refers to potential words that, with regards to the language morphology or semantic rules, could have been part of the language.

CPI is worthless as an inflation measure for several reasons but the most obvious one is that it is too simplistic; it tries to model spending of some average consumer but actual consumers vary a lot in both their habits and ability to adapt.

For a sense of inflation recently in Sweden, look instead at PPI [1]. Consumers can expect 100% of the cost increase producers see now to get passed on to them eventually.

There's a wide gap between zero regulation and a bureaucracy that always says 'no'. A lot of our problems right now are the result of 'no'. Nationally we're short almost 4 million homes because zoning law has said 'no' to more and more-diverse housing. California suffers rolling blackouts in part because regulations have simultaneously made it difficult to maintain existing transmission lines or build new ones. Maine residents just voted down building a transmission line to bring low-carbon hydro power in from Canada. We've been suffering a self-inflicted baby shortage formula for many reasons, but not least because we made it difficult to import the stuff.

Where are you seeing a overabundance of 'yes'?
It wasn't even close. Life isn't a movie or a video game; if you take over a building, you don't take over the government.

Concession for a normal political defeat is one thing. In the US they don't usually blame, they do how you describe, and congratulate the opponent. Even Donald Trump did this once or twice to Ted Cruz in the primary.

Yeah it really snowballs at the end too, when he talks about opening a Patreon ("Yelp thought what I did was worth some cash, so maybe other people will too). Could you imagine a construction worker quitting her job and opening a Patreon, thinking it's realistic that people give her free money because she used to be productive on a job site?

That all being said, the first part of the post is relatable. Tech jobs really can suck the life out of you. And, at least for me, working for other people is really soul-draining. I felt this same way, dreading going back to work even when I was on vacation, the last time I worked on someone else's payroll.
This concept that old-people skills are obsolete is a completely modern phenomena, and I'm dubious that it's even true.

The pace of change is fast, but only because we are still dealing with the consequences of the scientific and industrial revolutions. I now think of all technologies past ~1800 as "modern". Basically you should learn all of it to some degree.

19th century machinist skills? Still useful and valid. The basic design of a lathe has not changed since the late 1700s.

COBOL from the 1970s? Nobody is going to throw away so much working code. The first generation of programmers is dying off only now, trust me this stuff is going to be around for a long time. Same deal with C / C++.

Oil burner heating from the 1940s? It's a convenient upgrade from the prior coal technology (much easier to pour oil than bunker coal). Most of the systems installed are still there and running. Diesel fuel / jet fuel / heating oil is still probably the most convenient to use energy source.

A slight change to how web technologies work? Really not a big deal..

An arrangement that would make sense would be to separate data collection from publication and make the academic success of data collectors predicated on how many publications use their data. That would incentivize data collectors to make their data as widely useful and available as possible, which is very counter to the current situation. I imagine data collection groups talking to a number of data analysis groups and figuring out what to collect that would be useful for the largest number of interesting experiments. This might also make data collected intentionally or accidentally to give a specific outcome less likely.

Unfortunately, it's absurdly hard to change what counts as credit towards a successful academic career, so this seems like a pipe dream. Academia is still waging a very uphill battle to get Research Engineer to be a long-term viable career path, despite the absolutely critical need for software engineering in all areas of modern science.
My French friends/coworkers like to joke that it is the French pastime to complain. It really is a cultural difference, so much so that sometimes I need to explain to American colleagues that Marie/Marc/etc. isn’t particularly upset, it’s just normal for them to complain, and it also can be really healthy. It’s sort of how many engineers (good QA?!) are contrarian by nature.

hopefully someone says “no we’re not!” to prove my point.

If you have relatively stable expenses, you can calculate your own inflation just by comparing year to year.

Historically for me real inflation is the formal EU number + 2%. So that means that they're usually about a 100% off as inflation has been low for a long time, until now.

Agreements over email are still agreements. Make sure you have a screenshot of that email; take it with your phone rather than using the screenshot utility of your computer in case they're watching you.

Aside from that, I agree with everyone else, talk to a lawyer today. Based on what I am reading I think this looks like a potential constructive dismissal situation.

The fact that you're willing to relocate by Jan also shows you're willing to play ball with them. If that is in fact how you feel, it's possible that your lawyer will encourage you to tell them so, as if they refuse they start to look unreasonable (and hence, just disguising the dismissal).

Still, talk to a lawyer today.

One thing I don't think you should do is quit. That will absolve Tesla of all unemployment responsibilities, potentially severance, etc. If they want to fire you, make them do it. I think you should save this email (print a couple of copies too).

You do not need to "make a decision" - just tell them you're happy to come to the office but due to personal obligations you cannot do so until January 2023 and leave it at that. Continue to reiterate this to Tesla. Tesla likely wants you to "make a decision" (and is pressuring you) so that you voluntarily quit and they don't owe you anything. Continue to do your job during your normal work hours. Respond to emails and instant messages. If you lose access to a system, send an email and ask to have access restored so you can continue to work. Document these interactions.

-edit-

Continue to work, even if they appear to "ghost" you. If you lose all of your system access, send emails and call phone numbers and document each of these interactions. Depending on how far you take this and how far things go, you may be able to recoup wages.

For example:
(Thursday, June 9th 2022 8:55 am, called my manager's phone and asked if they could assist in restoring access to my email account).

Also, check out the HN Who is Hiring thread :)
If not for decades of right-wing union-busting efforts, we'd be on strike or staging work-to-rule actions instead of outright quitting.

> as where I live (Austria) start-up exists don't move the needle at all.

I totally believe this as the "% of people who are employed by a startup that has made an exit" is vastly different in Austria vs Estonia.

The total population of Estonia is so small that all exit events stand out. This year, there have been about 40 houses sold in the city I live in (pop 100k) [1]. From that only 7 are newer than 20 years. 7. Meanwhile, there are tens of people here who have been part of at least some kind of exit event during the same period and who are now actively looking for their first house. No other event in any other industry generates a sudden need for new real estate. At least not here in Estonia. There's a) extremely limited supply and b) a massive price increase due to extreme increase in demand (well, "extreme" in the local context)

Haha, I don’t practice what I preach that well/don’t try to look for real value that actively. Majority of what I invest is in a couple different Vanguard index funds. I don’t have the time to do the proper research to pick well, so I just kind of hope the averages in the Vanguard picks work out favorably over time.

I took a chance on crypto in 2019 that worked well, but that wasn’t a huge bet.

I’m currently spinning up my own business, which I consider my main pie in the sky active investment. Depending on how that goes I might shift to more active investing later in life (am 30, single currently, and feel like the best path for active investment and hunting for real value right now is something I steer myself).

But does it require big (or deep) fields for heat exchange?

I mean, lets take a 20-story building, the amount of heating energy it consumes is really high, especially during winters. So you probably would need a soccer-field size heat exchanger in order for the heat to be extracted from the ground.

I bet it will also use quite a lot of electricity to compress the transporting liquid.
There is (for most crimes) an entitlement to release on licence after 1/2 or 2/3 of the sentence, with the rest being served in the community but subject to recall to prison. So the most important takeaway is that the 'headline' numbers are higher than those actually served. Given the crime and the date of sentence it's very likely that he served three years and eight months inside. Some of that might have happened before his trial if he was remanded in custody: time spent in prison pre-trial is counted towards the sentence.

The 'additional' time for not paying £963k is designed to be coercive. The court has, in theory, decided that not only does he owe the money but he can be expected to find it. And the prison in default is supposed to encourage him to do so. Importantly, it's not an either/or: he still owes the money even if he serves the default sentence.
