Because going through layoffs is extremely stressful for people, and sometimes it takes them years to get their career back on track? Because people might be in the process of things like closing on a house, or worse, in the middle of building a house, which layoffs can kind of complicate in a negative way. Because people are human beings who empathize when bad things happen to people, not with companies that did an 'oops' an over hired and place the consequence of their over hiring on people just trying to live their life.
Note that this 9th circuit ruling merely stated that pointing to the use of prior pay isn't an automatic win for the defense - this just let the plaintiff go back to lower court and try the case. The case is still ongoing, the plaintiff has not won the case.
> I think the truly happy people don't go around and tell others how to be happy. They just are happy.

On the other hand, people who are happy/content see a lot of pain and suffering in other people and might wish to impart some of their own wisdom into the world. At least that’s how I feel sometimes. But if someone is trying to make a profit from the information or advice then it’s probably not coming from a good place and less likely to be legitimately useful.

How can ToolJet relicense AGPL contributions to a less restrictive license?

The code is AGPL and accepts volunteer contributions under that license.

https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING...

However, in their AGPL announcement it says:

> We do have a commercial license that overrides the AGPL license. This commercial license allows organizations to make changes to ToolJet and provide it as a service.

https://blog.tooljet.com/changing-license-to-agpl/#what-some...

Does the hosted ToolJet service include unreleased code, leveraging this commercial license?

Every volunteer contributor would need to agree to relicensing and/or would need to have previously agreed to assign their copyright to ToolJet, right?

As I said, military posturing is _part_ of deterrence. The US and USSR never came to a hot war. Why does conflict with China need to reach hot war? Why cannot China let Taiwan be its own country?

Wow! I absolutely love this! I will have to try it! Better C4 tooling has been something in the back of my mind for a while and this looks pretty polished.

I do have some concerns on pricing. $30-40/editor/month is pretty steep! Unless there are good tools for managing swapping users in and out of "reader" vs "editor" states across billing cycles, I think a lot of orgs will balk at this pricing. I know mine will if 98% of our ENG team isn't editing except maybe once a year.
> Peloton has fallen because they went from a company with rapidly growing revenue to one falling revenue.

Exactly. Their growth expectations were unrealistic. They were bringing a marginally better product to a saturated market under the guise of being a tech company. They could be a good business if run lean, but they’ll never realistically command insane multiples on revenue.

It still boggles my mind that here we are in 2023, and we still don't have a way to universally and interoperably.... "send text over the Internet to someone in real time". This should be dead simple. Yet, every chat app is still incompatible with every other chat app, and no company evidently sees any value in fixing this. And, whenever a new chat app emerges, lo and behold, it's also incompatible with every other chat app. This incompatibility is obviously a deliberate choice companies are making, not an insurmountable technical challenge.
Do you have any source that you need a license and insurance to ride with a Waymo car?

Because according to the Waymo One public service rules [1] you need to be 18 or older to use the app and order a Waymo, but they don't mention anything about requiring a license or insurance.

It would also be a weird requirement, since you sit in the back and couldn't control the car even if you wanted to.

I think the article has flawed framing and it is rather sensationalist journalism in that respect. I disagree that, even in that flawed frame, that the main question has been answered. Even if the cause of layoffs is not copycat behavior, the article attempts to argue that the use of layoffs (as opposed to cutting wages, etc.) is copycat behavior.

And it does feel convincing in the sense that it seems like many companies are choosing to respond to a problem in an identical way, which rather undercuts the tech industry's claims and culture of innovation and disruption and out of the box thinking.
I imagine operational flights might "officially" start and end as routine training flights, at least on paper.
My argument is not wether this was optimal by any metric; my argument is that they are already having employers go around the store opening cabinets, many times multiple times for the same customer. That incurs in the same menial work as having everything behind the counter, and is also a worse experience (at least for me).

Can’t comment on the Amazon Fresh approach. Not sure if the costs are lower, for example. It could be that they are operating at a huge loss already.

Because this sequences isn't polynomial. It's https://oeis.org/A000435 , with the explicit formula

a(n) = (n-1)! * Sum_{k=0..n-2} n^k/k!

a(n) ~ sqrt(Pi/2)*n^(n-1/2)

Here's my Python implementation:

from math import factorial

Foundation is more like a standard library for Objective C. Some components are not needed in Swift.
For high level applications, Foundation is almost always imported and can pretty much be assumed. It's kind of a de facto standard library extension. The problem as you put it is that what's available on macOS/iOS is not fully available on other platforms. So you can't just take some software that uses Foundation and compile it for a non-apple system without potentially running into a bunch of things you need to implement or polyfill or whatever you want to call it. Foundation has been growing its support for other platforms over the years, so the situation has been getting better. But it's been hard to take the "open source cross platform" goal of Swift seriously when they there is clearly a priority given to apple platforms.

In the past I worked on a project with a soft CPU (Altera NIOS) with some custom Verilog written for glue logic. It was nice because the NIOS is just like a generic microcontroller so it's painless to try out some different Verilog blocks without having to interface an external micro. The toolchain is monstrous though, although free versions are available it's just a huge clunker to work with.

I don't think people really understand or think about what happened in Afghanistan. Like maybe we were just holding back or something. The final drone strike we carried out in Afghanistan is both deeply symbolic and enlightening. We killed a guy, his family, and bystanders including 7 children. The reason is that somebody thought the water bottles the guy was loading into his truck looked suspicious, so that was a good enough reason to kill him and everybody around him - even knowing full well this strike was likely to receive far more attention than average.

The army initially claimed they took out a terrorist with a vehicle full of explosives. They blamed any 'collateral damage' on secondary explosive discharges. The excessive scrutiny on this, the final symbolic drone strike, revealed those water bottles were full of water. And not only were the target and his family not terrorists, they were aid workers literally working for a US NGO in the process of trying to get a visa to the US. Nobody was held accountable or punished in any way. [1]

The point of this is that we certainly weren't "holding back" or anything of the sort. We were absolutely brutal in Afghanistan, and this went on for 20 years. But ultimately winning an occupation against a civilian population that is both hostile and armed, is basically impossible. Afghanistan now has the honor of being the only country to have defeated both the USSR and the USA. And they did it, for the most part, with "obsolete" weapons and improvised explosives, all while kitted out in robes and sandals.

That does not explain why you wouldn't want a GFCI? It's not like you can't chain them.
The big problem is manager approval. I'm perpetually using "too little" vacation days, but the freedom to use them at a drop of a hat means I don't have to worry about burnout. When I need the time off I take it, there's never a concern that I can't.

A better way to manage your managees is by maintaining a visible schedule that everyone can access. Mark the important deadlines and periods when you believe time off would impact the business. If someone would like you to mark their vacation time on that schedule, that's cool but optional.
> in France and Spain the average is around 35 hours

The only way I can see that is true for Spain is if you count unemployed people and precarious jobs.

Regardless, my best guesses for why 40 hrs / week is still standard:

- More globalization and decreasing tariffs over the last decades means more competition.

- Companies get bigger and bigger, and big companies are inefficient: 16 hrs / week is not even enough to actually start working: check mail, RSVP meetings, report to manager, justify expenses, do paperwork and whatnot is more than that already.

> but the overall quality of your average slice in the city has definitely suffered

This is true of the big national chains, too. They've kept prices relatively stable for damn near 25 years, at this point, but quality has gotten far worse over that same time span. That mouth-watering Pizza Hut pie you remember from 1992 isn't all nostalgia—every now and then I find single-location or small-chain joints that make pizza very similar to how I remember those tasting. Thing is, those are like $15+ a pie now, with a coupon or special. But you can still get larges for $8 or less (coupon or special, which are available 100% of the time) at the major chains—they're just not the same pizza you were getting in the 80s up to about the late 90s.

[EDIT] In fact, the 2020-on inflation is the first time I've seen the big chains seriously give in on keeping price increases in check. They've gone up like 20% in the last couple years.
>There is a good chance that if you installed GFCI in some old house it would just... trip due to shitty wiring.

A GFCI measures the current going in and the current going out and if they are not equal it trips.
I think the problem comparing to the last turn of the century is the cost of real innovation is much higher (ignoring that most “hobbyists” in that time period were quite affluent). A key difference would be that many foundational technologies were ripe for discovery then, but we are now in the optimization phase.
Sounds like an org chart problem.

The first piece to focus on is the piece that your team is responsible for.

Less of a shattering of the monolith and more of a spore ejection.
No. For one thing they affect different groups of people.

The normal economy will still experience inflation arising from money supply expansion without that effect being counterbalanced by crypto losses, because the people who experienced those losses may forgo luxury purchases in the real economy (Wen Lambo? Not for a while) but the inflation isn't in luxury goods for the most part it's in much more mainstream goods and services. I would expect that the effect will almost be like the interrelated currencies of two neighbouring countries - they do affect each other because people convert between the currencies a lot, but they are not exactly the same.
I don't think the "practical" was a problem of technology but of economy.

It's really interesting to read some very early accounts of cars. EVs were the original "practical" and "reliable". The earliest accounts of range anxiety were from ICE owners. EVs had a predictable range and you could charge just about anywhere with electricity. ICE were loud and impractical and unreliable (especially accounting for how much they were prone to breakdowns or worse explosions) and you couldn't just get more fuel at any corner drug store, it had to be very specific corner drug stores of which there were very few.

From the long view of history, it may turn out that we'll look back on the epoch of "reliable" and "practical" ICE as the anomaly of a curious economic over-investment in baroque infrastructure, at best. (At worst, given what we've known about climate change for too many centuries now, it may be looked back upon as criminal and deceitful.)
When going from tens to hundreds, do the hundreds manage to produce anywhere near a many-fold increase in performance though?

My impression is that microservices is a solution to keep a hundred people HAPPY (solving auxiliary problems you create for yourself) while producing about the output for the company that the "tens" would provide.

If management INSISTS on scaling from tens to hundreds, you can't very well keep the tens occupied on irrelevant side project. So instead you can do microservices. Either way you get the speed for the company of "tens" though.
The offspring and I stopped by our family cemetery plot last summer there in Aurora. He had never heard the story about how my great-grandmother, when living in Boyd, had met a peculiar man from out of town.

Or maybe they just lived in Wise county a little too long.
I find it very interesting that people can't put aside political views and speak about whether or not having a consumption tax, in their opinion, is a good or bad idea when compared to the current system.

This question isn't about a persons view of Biden or Trump.

I think kstenerud did a great job at expressing their views without having to speak about politics.

Is this an indicator at how toxic social media has become and how people have become addicted to arguing vs. having a discussion?

I was thinking about how a consumption tax aka Fair Tax does have some benefits, but in the case that kstenerud pointed out, depending on the percentage of the tax, it could hurt the poor. For instance, if a gallon of milk now goes for $20, it's going to hurt the lower class.

I do agree with kstenerud that such a tax could hurt the poorest people. This begs the question of is there a way to introduce such a tax that allows the poor to transition into a Fair Tax? e.g., Allowing people making under X 2 years not to pay any income taxes?

Hopefully those of you with strong political opinions take it easy on this thread because honestly, it's like the smell of your own shit... no one really wants to sniff it ;)
Parler’s Parent Company Laid Off Nearly All of Its Employees, Only Has 20 Left
Basically, the language is as follows:

A red border on the sign is the beginning of something "not allowed" (no parking) or of some limitation (maximum speed limit 50 km/h). Those signs are round.

The limitations are lifted when you see a similar black and white sign, usually barred.

If the sign is triangular with a red border, it means some danger is coming up.

If the sign is a blue background (only, no red border) it's an obligation to do something (must turn right).

Square blue background is usually some kind of "information". Like "parking". You don't have to park. But you may. Sometimes, this information may have other implications, like "one way road, going your way". You don't have to keep moving. But you know no one will be coming from the front.
Table 87 is a great slice.

> Nul ne doit ignorer la loi (no one may be ignorant of the law).

I got a parking ticket once in a place that had parking signs and a parking meter. Turned out that particular parking meter was only for cars with a specific permit. How could I have known that? Because there was supposed to be a painted 1" green circle around its base. Even if I had known what that meant, the circle had worn away probably years prior.
No, there was no mention of these circles or their meaning on any of the parking signs.

> Another thing I hope that I've indirectly shown, or at least hinted at, is that any language can be implemented in any style. Even if you want to think of CPython as an "interpreter" (a term that can be dangerous, as it occludes the separate internal compiler), there's PyPy, which dynamically compiles Python programs into machine code, and various systems which statically compile Python code into machine code (see e.g. mypyc).

(Emphasis mine:)
