There's a lesson here: such employers near-exclusively hire cogs who are supposed to fit in place. Many might find it useful to ask about such a clause as a sort of "canary" test.
Chip's capability planning seems need about ~2yr lead time. So we are expecting fastest would be somewhere around end of 2024. (Transformers probably earlier than that (2023?), 4-bit would be later).
To me, it felt like Paul tried/had to became “the boss” after Brian Epstein‘s death and that shook the whole dynamic.
It's safe to say that no Republican is going to win city/county/state-wide office around here, so the "attacks" are moot. For example, the state's hurtling towards passing an emergency AWB into law, all while Republicans yell and scream. So, again, the Republicans ain't the problem.
Are we calling those out now, who were ethical and left there home behind? This is a disgusting reply, very well to the anti-japanese craze in america during WW2..
I'm a big believer in automation. To me, it's kinda the point of being a programmer. But it intrigues me how eager some are to eliminate all human aspects from everything. Hiring, firing, building, shrinking. Let's just automate it all with a recursive algorithm. It's just business. Nothing personal.

I'm a human. I want to be personal.

Yes, there are billions of us and I'm pretty interchangeable. But...

I get interested in silly things like when somebody gets a pay raise because they got married. What kind of business sense does that make? It's debatable. But it makes obvious people sense.

I rather enjoy living in a people world, even while I work every day to automate it.

Signing bonus. I think the way a number of contracts are worded you keep it.
Advice about what to do after you've already done something else isn't very useful, but when my wife and I moved internationally for her new job, we made sure to have it be a slow process. First she went, rented a short term apartment, while I moved all of our belongings into a storage facility, then once she felt good about the position she found us a nicer more permanent home, then I sold our home in the US, the car, and moved to meet her in the other country. Yes, it was more expensive, and we certainly wasted some money, but my feeling was if the company can't compensate us appropriately to take this risk, it's not worth the risk. They helped with moving expenses and apartment selection and the first two month's rent.

If something had gone wrong, or she'd felt like it was a bait and switch, we had months of buffer to fall back on.
From what I've heard, they couldn't include negative Yoko scenes because she's still alive and has legal power.
>Several commonly available (some decriminalized) drugs can induce schizophrenia.

I don't think this is true. Some drugs can have effects that superficially resemble schizophrenia and then doctors mistakenly "diagnose" schizophrenia.

Why would it be fair and reasonable to the company that didn't pull the offer? Seems pretty bizarre to justify being a jerk to someone yourself because a completely unrelated party is a jerk to you (or, in your scenario, you don't even know whether they'll be a jerk to you, making it even weirder). All you're doing is making it impossible for your own company to start the process of spreading the loss of an FTE, and actively making the lives of your colleagues terrible.
Yes, it we're speaking so strictly, you're absolutely right. I was attempting to make light of the situation. Sorry if my attempt at humor was not well-received..

>but I have read that even teenagers are having less sex.

This is a funny way to frame it. A lot of people are trying to stop teenagers from having sex. When I was a teenager the parents sponsored a "post prom" Carnival, I believe with the intent of having kids doing something with their dates after the prom that didn't involve having sex.

Some religious people work every day towards the goal of making sure a female teenager's life will be imperiled if she has a medical problem as a result of sex. And will tell her if she doesn't like it, she shouldn't have had sex.

Who is working in the other direction and trying to get teenagers to have sex?

I’m a little skeptical about claims that this language or that language has a different vocabulary, I mean you could watch anime and think they’ve got few phrases other than 任せる (“leave it to…”) or 絶対負けない！(I absolutely won’t lose!) but really languages have tons and tons of alternate vocabulary you could use, say

20 years ago it seemed to be there was very little NLP literature on languages other than English, I’d say today I see papers in arXiv every day where people trained an LLM for some “minor” language or do experiments with multi-lingual models, so your question is very much an active research area.

I wouldn't say we chose a pig and buried it under layers of lipstick. I think it's more accurate to say people realized:

1) You could deliver software via a browser with some clever hacking

2) That delivering software via a browser had some extremely attractive properties compared to other approaches

Those clever hacks turned into real applications and those became real products. As people built applications on top of browsers, the browsers evolved to be a better environment for building applications. It was very organic.

The actual language we ended up using is just a byproduct IMO. I don't think people chose JavaScript, they chose the browser and the browser had JavaScript. And since the browser had JavaScript, we kept pushing the limits of JavaScript because we needed to deliver applications to the browser.

Honestly hard to see this happening efficiently in any other way. All things considered, the web platform is pretty fantastic compared to the software distribution story in every other ecosystem. I'd argue that we allocated resources pretty well on this one!
Ubuntu has only fraction of what FreeBSD has when it comes to ZFS.

Several things that Ubuntu misses:

- lack of ZFS Boot Environments - https://is.gd/BECTL - https://is.gd/BEADM

- no bootloader integration

- still requires ancient EXT4 or XFS /boot to start system

... and while the version of ZFS is newer on FreeBSD you can always install these packages and have LATEST OpenZFS available:

- sysutils/openzfs

- sysutils/openzfs-kmod

Hope that helps.

A relative told me in the 70's that I never had to worry about WW III until Yugoslavia disintegrates after Tito dies. He said all the realistic war plans revolved around that, which is why all the NATO cadres were all hysterical in the 90s.

Grenada, they never had time to think about it - it took three days for the most mighty military in the world to secure one of the tiniest nations in the world.

After 9/11, Rumsfeld asked the Army for their plans. They gave him a stack of plans on occupying Afghanistan and requirement for 600K troops (per doctrine) - they had no intention of volunteering. He was furious to be sidelined when the CIA guy convinced W it could all be done with small teams and airpower.

For Iraq, Rumsfeld agreed to all their plans and they saluted happily when he said to not make any occupation plans...
That cost gets wrapped up in your insurance rates. If your car actually does cost more then people with your type of car will pay higher rates. If you as a driver are more likely to hit other cars or people, then your personal rates will be higher.
Yes. This one is so pernicious. One problem is that most stem disciplines are built upon equation based models or something related. This works great for math, great for physics, good for chemistry, and not great for biology, really bad for psych or econ. Equation based models have neat linear-causal thinking that simply fails in understanding complex systems in all but the most reductive questions. Most stem students leave hs/bachelors thinking the world is mostly linearly causal. Hell even most doctors think this way - like a mechanic. Discussing the world’s current set of wicked problems with these linear thinkers is unimaginably painful.

Other than layout and rendering, implementing HTML, ECMAScript and CSS is genuinely easy. There’s a lot of it so that it’ll take you a long time, but it’s very much not hard, because the HTML and ECMAScript specs fully spell out the algorithm, telling you exactly what you must do (or, more precisely, what you must be equivalent to doing: e.g. “implementations must act as if they used the following state machine to tokenize HTML”), so it’s largely mechanical. This is very unusual in specs. I wish it were less so.

Take a look through https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html. It’s verbose but very approachable, very implementable.
My personal guess? Yes, people were already complaining about their crazy AI girlfriends getting lobotomized in an update to "behave". And those were just chat bots.

>Personal taste isn't weird. Judging work not meeting that taste based said taste alone, well, that is weird.

Why not. All judgement by individuals is made off of personal opinions. It's not weird at all. In fact your judgement of me here is also personal taste. I personally think judgement based off of personal taste is not weird at all.

>Out of respect, out of basic politeness and basic decency.

I disagree. I have experience with travel photography too. I ask only when I want a close up portrait, otherwise I don't ask and I don't make a big deal out of it.

If the culture has a huge problem with it, then I may respect the culture to avoid confrontation, but if not, again, I don't go out of my way to ask as if it was a huge problem to begin with because it's not.

Not likely. The Washington State Supreme Court has Eyman in check.
I'm always astonished at the incredibly slow, inefficient, and bureaucratic hiring processes of what are held to be the most capable companies in the world. I imagine it's also incredibly expensive and -from what I've read- doesn't seem cut down on the cases of false positives it's supposedly there to prevent.

I wonder why these companies don't try and emulate something like what a military does: take in the willing and motivated, give them all the basic skills valued by the organization, asses their existing capabilities, and then place them where needed after more targeted training.

Now I'm not sure that's quicker, cheaper, more efficient, or less bureaucratic; rather I'm just surprised none of these companies have at least tried it in the face of their current systems.
This article has some of the story behind the paper

Short answer to your question: David Smith discovered the hat shape by experimentation.
Generally in the dot.com bust you woke up to discover that your contract wasn’t worth the paper it was notionally written on because your future employer had just gone bankrupt.

This wave of redundancies is a choice made by the managements of the FAANG (excepting Apple?) & related companies: Google in particular has spent more in share buybacks this year than it would take to employ the people management laid off for decades to come if I understand the numbers correctly.
Tech employers have their own relocation clauses usually that have the same wording.
As other commenters have mentioned, you're not going to be able to insert your own clauses into any standard employment agreement.

However, every large employer has already relocated hundreds, if not thousands, of employees. They have similar clauses that are approved, but as a candidate you may need to ask to have such a clause included.

Depending on the hiring market, the specific position, and your unique circumstances, you may or may not be able to get something added to the agreement, but it would rarely be unjustified to ask for some kind of relocation protection.
The US doesn't have an extradition treaty with China, so that's probably an urban legend or someone pulling your leg or trying to put the fear of god (China?) into her and other engineers so they take the job seriously.
First, I agree that mental health and homelessness are serious public health problems.

We didn’t mask and isolate because 0.3% of Americans died. We did it so that only 0.3% of Americans would die.

I’m not sure how the response to the drug epidemic and the infectious respiratory pandemic could be ‘consistent’.
The replies to your comment seem to confirm that this is just armchair guessing.
That's a very stupid and short-sighted attitude. Russia has effectively been a dictatorship for the past couple of decades, so most regular people have zero control over the policy.

Most pretend to just not notice things and hope their lives won't be affected, some tried protesting and ended up jailed, a few prominent idea-driven people got assassinated. So yeah, sure, let's blanket-ban everyone with a Russian passport from Western employment, so the only way for them to feed the family would be joining a guided missile production facility in Russia. Great idea /s.

Sanctioning specific companies and specific individuals makes sense. Blanket bans is just venting your own steam in a counterproductive way.
If you want to be a software engineer, and you arent coding, then yeah its a bad job. Dont let other people convince you otherwise.
It's simple profit motive. What you're asking for is something else
FWIW, in the UK notice periods are not worth enforcing either, you have to prove (as the employer) that you incurred extra costs because of the short notice which is tricky and usually not worth it.
Sorry for your loss. Been there, kinda.

I got a job at IBM in the mid 90s. They sold the division to Loral before I started but I decided to stay in the position. Then congress cancelled the 2billion dollar contract.

I was laid off before I started.

They had the decency to send me two weeks pay in return for signing something that I wouldn’t sue them. So at least I got paid a little bit.

The Case for the Hip Thrust
I have nursed an old back injury for decades and have coasted on ibuprofen, acetominophen and aspirin.

I first saw a hip thrust performed at the gym late in the evening when attendance was very low. A woman selected a secluded area and, when she did the thrust, I felt that it was good that there weren't a lot of male onlookers around. Two nights later the gym was packed and another even more fit young woman set up in a open area to do hip thrusts. I was watching the entire room: with her first thrust nearly all males in the room turned and stared. That was quite a sight!

Anyway, I thought the hip thrust a sexy but ineffectual exercise and dismissed it. But after reading the Slate article I tried to do it with with no weights. On the first repetition my lower back popped in at least 5 places and I had immediate relief from decades of pain. I was and remain astounded.

Takeaway: If you have back pain just keep trying, no matter what. Try most anything provided it won't hurt you and maybe, someday, you might find something helpful like I did.
The structure of this article follows the theory of evolution of Simon Wardley.
It's because the scale is completely disproportionate. The largest proposed lithium mine in the world will disturb 6000 acres, a negligible area. In the United Stats alone there are five million acres scraped flat for oil and gas production and 25 million more acres under lease. The entire meme about how lithium mining is a relevant environmental disturbance has been invented out of whole cloth by oil companies.

These are not, in fact, serious questions.
Eh, I'm a Michigan native, and I don't think the two situations are similar.
ooof. I remember discussing how effective those drivers were compared to the open source AMD ones a few years back. Now the open AMD drivers are good and there is all more more reason to be skeptical of the binary blob.

"stallman was right"
I appreciate it's open ended, and one can answer however they please. But faced with this question, I can honestly say I would have to lie. It's like answering the question "How's it going?" with "fine, how about you?" Sure, one can go into how it's really going with a stranger, or they can just respond with pleasantries and small talk.

So if you want to get deep into a conversation with someone about what they've really been thinking about lately, it's not going to happen as a repones to this conversation starter. At best, I think this kind of conversation starter is so open-ended, it's on par with "what's up?"

"What have you been thinking about lately?"

"Eh. Not much, you?"
Earlier in my career, I had pretty good luck in interviews. I think I got offer from pretty much every place I had interviewed at.

I stayed for pretty long time at my last company. In mean time, interview processes changed and it was all about LeetCode. I knew a little bit about it but all I thought was that it is similar to FizzBuzz problem. And I enjoy puzzles, so I thought that it would be fun.

I applied at Facebook, the recruiter tried to warn me but she also told me that since I have been programming for so long, it should be no problem. I didn't really looked at real problems, instead just tried a few examples that were there to get to you familiar with Facebook interview environment. They were pretty easy, so I was feeling very confident.

Needless to say in the actual interview, I could not even decipher problem. The interviewer helped me understand it. I was able to create brute-force solution but could not optimize it. Felt pretty dumb.

After that I looked up LeetCode, spent hours practicing it. I forgot about everything else.

Eventually, I restarted interview process. The next company I applied for was to warm up. I passed all their 3-4 LeetCode and System Design rounds. I started to feel good about it.

But I was so focused on technical aspects that I forgot about behavioral interview part. My brain was so focused on puzzles that I thought all those normal behavior questions were trick questions. I blanked and mumbled mostly. I really liked the interviewer too, I thought he had similar personality as me.

Then I went back to basics and wrote down answers to various behavior questions. And tried to revise those questions before my next few interviews. There I got still rejected but got a few offers. However, this experience also taught me that I cannot rely on my previous good luck anymore and should spend time preparing.
I believe this is a point of contention among street photographers. Some believe you should always ask permission, others believe that if you are in public you are fair game.

This is a particularly uncompassionate take, particularly with you lumping homelessness into this.

The vast majority of homeless are not homeless by choice. Homeless people turn down shelters because shelters aren't homes, and are often legitimately worse than being outside. Programs which have offered the homeless real homes, with privacy, the ability to safely store belongings and keep pets, and the ability to decorate, cook, and sleep in quiet, have not had any difficulty filling those homes, but these programs are few and far between (none exist in the US, that I know of).

The solution to homelessness is homes, period. Not shelters, homes. Nothing else will work. Mental health treatment is utterly ineffective when the patients are suffering the ongoing trauma of homelessness, and any system which places mental health as a prerequisite to having a home will not work.

As such, whatever forceful mental health treatment you're proposing as a solution to your fear of the homeless, is not going to actually solve your problem. If the homeless are removed from the streets and forcibly medicated, they'll end up in the same spot doing the same thing as soon as they're dumped back into the world without any real help.

If you actually want a solution that works, you're going to have to grow a little compassion and start trying to actually help the homeless instead of only thinking about how to keep yourself safe from the homeless.
