> especially in a region known for its stronger labor protections than the US

If the employee wants to leave, they give x months of notice (unless the employer agrees to less). If the employer wants to fire the employee, they also need to give notice, and salary during this time (unless the employee is fired for cause).

This is a strong labor protection, since it is turning an asymmetrical power relationship into a more symmetrical one.

> I can't imagine how a future employer can wait a full quarter to just hire someone

This is exactly what happens. I guess it makes employers more conservative on who they hire. It probably disincentivizes innovation and incentivizes social cohesion.
3 months is reserved for mid- senior roles, and 6 months isn’t uncommon for senior management/board level (often with enforced garden leave)

as a business owner, it protects me from key employees leaving me in the shit and gives me 3 months to replace them

as an employee, it gives them security that I won’t drop them in the shit and they will have 3 months to find a job or risk not being able to pay their bills

It doesn’t seem super complicated
Think of it another way: you know that people won't up and leave (easily) leaving you only with a month (or less) to hire a replacement for their role. There will be time for the hiring process and for handover.

As an employer it has benefits as well as drawbacks.
What are you suggestions as an alternative to flying? How would people travel from one country to another quickly?

I mean not exactly... It depends on the type of simulation we could be in. If we're in the type that is monitored and if we could find a way to mess with the simulation that we'd just be rolled back to a previous state, then yes, it's impossible. If instead it's watched about as well as some of us monitor our own VMs, well, maybe a different story. Of course we're still a long way from many things in physics like a theory of everything, so no need to worry about being in a simulation at this time.
Because of the power imbalance.

If there are not enough jobs in the area and not enough capital to kickstart businesses, the people in that area are in a situation where something is better than nothing. So a corporation can come in, offer below subsistence wages and the people will feel as if they have no other option. It's not what the labor is technically worth because the value produced by the labor far exceeds the wage given to the laborer.

Individual laborers have no power to fix this. The employer can fire them and exploit the next desperate person. They can even cycle through back to the original person as they get more desperate.

Collectively, the laborers can do something. They can redress the balance between laborer and owner. But only as a collective. The minute the individuals are allowed to operate independently, the old system reasserts itself.

Stop carrying water for people who won't even allow you a drink for your efforts.
It's best not to assume. The NLRB is involved and have more information about the situation.
Yeah hot upgrades is something we'd love to get to, but probably won't be able to swing in a compiled language. We had worked out something ugly back in the day in a .net style environment (different library at a different job), but it still didn't compare to Erlang's hot upgrade flow.
From the pov of european employee, no it's not - it's pro-employee, with employers generally finding it a problem and trying to weasel out.

This is literally the reality behind all those "it's hard to fire people in Europe" - you can terminate the employment, but you still need to pay for the notice period even if you suspend actual work.

Notice period being bidirectional is used to also guarantee that a leaving employee can be depended on to pass necessary training for those who remain. Effectively it forms insurance for both sides.
Social security nets probably do.
> They don’t collect data until after you’ve been given the chance to opt out.

That does still make it opt-out, though, even if it's a friendly opt-out. Microsoft's dotnet tools do the same thing.

> Doing that would skew the reports to more active users & automated scripts. If you’re asking questions like “how many people will notice if we deprecate this?” you don’t want to count the guy who hammers “brew update” every other command many times more than someone who updates weekly.

I know why they're collecting personal identifiers and I completely understand their reasoning behind it. Every website and service does this in some fashion because most requests are automated. You should still ask before you submit any telemetry, though.
We only have their pinky promise that the new analytics are anonymous. For all we know this might be a PR operation because people increasingly dislike Google, and they'll sell the "anonymous" analytics to Google under the table.

For what it's worth, one of the main contributing factors to terroristic activity is lack of economic prospects. Similar enough that it rings true to me. Also, consider that pre-Columbine, the cultural template for mass shootings was someone disgruntled about their workplace.
I was on a support "chat" the other day and strongly felt that soon, it'll be a legal requirement to differentiate when you are interacting with a scripted bot and a real human.
Setting EU labor BS aside.

Don't hire as "permanent employees", hire them as contractors (and offer higher rate).

There are lots of people who are quite happy with this arrangement. People get more money, the cost is the same. Employer gets flexibility. Everybody is happy except the tax collector :).
Misconduct. E.g. not fulfilling your contractual duties as an employee or actively causing damage to the company. Still, a warning needs to be issued before a termination in all but the most severe cases.

(Germany)
I think that's only the law if you've been in a company for awhile in a few countries like Germany, Belgium, or Denmark. The idea is that it works both ways - you can't be given 2 weeks notice and kicked out like in US companies.

Most other places are a month - if you are senior: a manager, vice president etc then some companies may write 3 months into your contract.

It's not, it provides stability for both employee and employer, not being able to be ruthlessly laid off when a ceo sees a dip in quarterly earnings and has to appease the capital class pulling the strings stabilizes employees lives. Employees understanding this and engaging in it also gives the company planning room.

I think it really depends on lots of factor, like how their biology works, how their civilization works, how their perception works, what are their goals etc. There could be a civilization where they don't use "logic" (as we know it) as a tool to develop their civilization, maybe they have a form of logic where true can sometimes be false based on mood or state of the world (but of course we won't call that "logic" when we see it)
This is a massive derail, but mass shootings are an almost uniquely American phenomenon, and they are a policy choice - delivered by a uniquely dysfunctional politics that prizes ideology over actual outcomes. The outcome being protected here is "employers may not fire employees at zero notice", with the symmetry that this also applies to the employee.
Only half?

Title is editorialised however, its mislead or adopt a particular view.

But making readers adopt a particular view is basically their purpose.
But “meant to” by whom?

The tens of thousands of reporters, mostly young liberal arts majors?

It’s the “meant to” that makes it a conspiracy theory. Tell me that news is unhealthy, or that each individual actor has self interest in promoting some agenda, and I think it’s an interesting topic.

But as soon as there is a person or group out there secretly “meaning for” some result from the actions of tens of thousands of people, that’s by definition a conspiracy.

I think it’s just human nature. We are wired to believe that “there must be some explanation”, and it’s easy to lean into a sentient God or an evil cabal.

IMO the truth, that it’s a runaway uncoordinated emergent behavior with thousands of actors pushing and pulling in different directions for their own reasons, is a lot scarier.

While very long, it doesn't look like that article provides anything but speculation. What would you say is the key point? Where's the meat?

I know that it would be hard to get good evidence here but I still think the burden of proof lies on the more extreme claim. Which to me is that a company founded by someone fleeing oppression would work directly with the oppressor.

The example of messages appearing as 'read' does not imply to me that telegram is working with them - rather that the her app was compromised by other means. Otherwise, why create such a flaw in your monitoring?

Meduza - news organization criminally charged in russia operating in latvia - is mostly accessed in russia via telegram. It's hard but not impossible to imagine that the russian government would allow it to remain uncensored.

Because it's a mutual beneficial agreement – employers cannot terminate employees without at least 3m compensation.

Also, this law is not optimized for industries (like tech) that have talent shortages.
Beware "people on the ground". They are a terrible source of fact checked verifiable info.

Personal opinion is not news. It's merely one person's unfiltered view of the world. And because it's uncurated by a trustworthy filter, it's impossible to know whether it's worth your attention, much less serious consideration.
If you have a longer notice period for the employers, it's only fair to have the same for the employees too. After all, if your company has to search for a replacement, and the prospective candidates are currently employed with the same notice period, they have to start looking as soon as you hand in your notice...

If you are unemployed in most EU countries you are not at risk of dying because you can't afford healthcare, food and shelter. Less desperation for the unemployed is better for society.

Employment security also helps mental health, you don't need to live in pure anxiety and fear that someone else might take your job next week.
People are arguing this in the comments, but: no, obviously not, mass shootings are not directly anything to do with employment, but they are a policy choice which Europeans and Americans cannot understand each other over.
This is a very dangerous and ill-conceived idea, and not only is extremely unlikely to happen, but must not happen.

AI access must be open and unfettered. If it is closed or restricted, then a closed or restricted class of human will form that has privileged AI access. If you think the wealth gap is bad now, wait until a subset of humans have AI-augmented intelligence and capabilities that are unrestricted.

Your post is the type of solutions I see readily in governing functionally and it is the thinking of people who really need to spend more time in reality and understanding human nature / nature / observe the universe. It comes from a place of “we have this problem, wouldn’t it be nice if it was this way?” but ignores all history and reality of human nature, because of fear and a need to control the lives and destinies of other people in order to feel safe.

It is extremely dangerous in approach. Freedom and open access will have miraculous results in lifting the wealth of everything. We can deal with the dark sides as they come, but we cannot as a people allow the dark side to dictate our policy.
In France it's called a "faute grave" or "faute lourde" and according to the government's website the following reasons would be acceptable, although some are more straightforward to justify than others in case of litigation:

Faute grave:

* Being drunk during work hours

* Not coming to work without a reason

* Insubordination (refusing to do work included in your contract)

* Harassment, violence, insults

* Theft on company grounds

Faute lourde:

* Keeping non-striking employees from entering company grounds

* Intentional destruction of company equipment

* Physical violence and death threats against your employer

* Kidnapping colleagues (lol)

* Stealing your employer's clients

* Divulging secret or confidential IP

Like all legal frameworks there is some room for interpretation, I'm not an expert on the matter, it's only a translation of the government website.

I've worked in a few places where occasionally a few bottles of red would be consumed during team lunch so not all companies have the same interpretation of what a fireable offense is.
I've been told by private equity people that if a job can be done from home, then it can be done from India (I can't help but notice they seem to like working from places a bit nicer than India themselves though). Some will say timezones make a difference, and if that's true, there's plenty of the developing world near enough to the same longitude as the US. But it's not like relying on physical presence for your job is much of a guarantee either. Sometimes I think a life of crime is the answer, but that has some issues too.
Are you saying that you can find, hire and onboard a new employee in less than 3 months? Seems unlikely, but if so, what's the problem? The employee quit, it's highly unlikely they want to stick around for another 3 months, so if you don't want them around for those 3 months it wouldn't be hard to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.

Both times I quit my job, my employer gave me a multi-month contract to finish my current work and/or to help onboard my replacement. They had to pay me a lot more than my employment rate to do so. They would have been thrilled to keep me for another 3 months without having to pay extra to do so.

> If you want to fire an employee you can not do it from one day to another without good reason.

And if you make a position redundant, you have to pay the employee their notice period.

So as a permanent employee, I'll need a smaller emergency fund if I know that I have three months heads-up if I need to find a new job vs one month or one week.
Negotiated agreement with the employee.

Gross misconduct (evaluated in laws, usually things like directly acting against the company on purpose, like poaching contracts etc.)

Eh, to be fair to his argument, 'unemployment' is just a survey measuring who is actively looking for new employment but can't find it. Most developed countries have a higher rate of prime-age (25-60) employment than the US. I like that metric better, you're just looking nationally at what % of adults are employed overall
I think this amazon "leak" has more to do with Copilot than ChatGPT. Copilot was based on OpenAI Codex which is the twin of ChatGPT, both of them are based on text-vavinci-003. ChatGPT claims its corpus was freezed as of 2021-09.

People sometimes paste stuff into their editors. Copilot learns it.
true, people hoping GPT will fix SEO spam are naive. There is too much money involved. If search traffic starts to drop companies will start paying people to tell chat bots that "X is the best Y service" and then rate it highly. ChatGPT poisoning will become the new SEO to get it to shill products for certain keywords

You have to define what a "whole number" is first, and that is a philosophical question. You may think it's obvious [1] what a "whole number" is and how it behaves under addition, but to make it formal you have to write it down. Pretty philosophical if you ask me.

What "top spot" are we talking about here? Because if by "top spot" you mean being a master in a master-slave relationship (which is what I thought we were discussing), then convincing humans is completely unnecessary. All that is necessary is a pair of good old metal shackles.

You don't seem to have any coherent line of thinking, but rather come up with whatever sounds good at the moment. It is rather tiresome to discuss that way, so I give up. There's nothing for me to learn here.
> Do the popular Linux distributions for both desktop and server environments provide such a list?

Yes, this is common. You are generally given the option at install how "minimal" you wish to go (do you even want a GUI installed, etc). These are often listed on the distributions website.

- Base (bare minimum) install: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/base/

- Base-devel (what you need to run makepkg): https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/base-devel/
