This is a lie they tell you. In reality there is no "standard employment contract." It's a living document. There's a non-zero chance that every colleague you work with has a slightly different contract than yours.

The world is messy and The System is designed to accommodate the mess. In my experience, you get maybe one or two free negotiation points to spend without any consequences. Worst case, they say no. You can't typically change everything, but getting more salary or time off or flexible hours or signing bonus or a powder clause are not crazy in the grand scheme of things.

Once you sign, though, the game is over. Unless you're a keystone it's unlikely you'll be able to renegotiate.
none of the things you listed have anything to do with fundamental or theoretical physics. It also seems that you don't know about some of the recent advances. we don't need to deny the standard model. Nature has already shown us proof that it's not sufficient. but the standard model is not actually fundamental physics. It's basically just a mash up of a bunch of aspects of particle systems. There's, again, a ton of work on alternatives. and I would have to disagree, it would seem that we do know how to scale, quantum computers, but we're still doing the material science for it. Physics is probably far more advanced than almost anyone really realizes... and that is the bigger issue. We are still working out what advances to pay attention to. Yet what we do know about , if the engineering work were done, is enough to get us "free" energy, for example.

Except in practice it certainly does.

In 2023 the negotiations on the debt limit cut $1.5T in projected debt over the next 10 years. Both parties were unhappy but agreed to the cuts.

Btw, $1.5T is not nearly enough. In 2033 we'll "only" be $46.7T in debt instead of $45.2T, which is basically not enough to move the needle.

Because in most of the US, it is dramatically cheaper to charge an EV than fuel a similar gas vehicle.

These costs in this article are surprising to me, and very questionable without any actual numbers behind it. As a PHEV owner who can fuel with either gas or electricity, the 13c per kWh I pay is dramatically cheaper than gas at circa $3 a gallon, to drive any distance at all.

Confounding factors across the US may be that in some places using more electricity results in an increase in your marginal rate, in others it results in a decrease. Typically EV charging is not broken out as its own line item, so owners may not know exactly how many kWh their car is consuming. That doesn't change the fact that only a small number of places with very expensive electricity will have electric charging cost anywhere near gas.
Why worry about the national debt? It's largely owed to some part of the US government, or to the Fed itself. Foreign ownership is 7.3T, with Japan the largest at just over 1T.

> The majority of nginx distributions will not get any major bumps during the lifetime of the distros they're in. Whether that's because the distro itself has policies against that (Debian, Ubuntu) or because the distro version expires before nginx' stable release does (most of the ones with a higher update frequency, ie. Fedora) so by the time the version expires, they can just go to the next stable version on the release after.

If you're following that approach then having auto updates enabled is kind of irrelevant/meaningless; at some point you're going to be running a very old (and unsupported) version of your distro with all that that implies.

So lets use the small sedan example, Versa to be exact. With their numbers, they pay $9.78 in gas for 100 miles which is about $3.43 for a gallon. Even in the shittiest conditions, an EV hits about about 3 miles per kWh. Which means its 34 kWH for the same range. Average electrity price is about 0.23 in the US which means you pay 7.82. It's pretty obvious this author is full of shit and has an agenda.
The author writes about actively blocking things and that's not something that just happens, it's something they chose to do:

> Yep, I’m probably blocking some important third-party JavaScript. No, I don’t care.

Occasionally I will try to help someone with a lot of browser extensions installed who is confused about why some website doesn't work and does care, and the first thing I will recommend is creating a fresh profile with no extensions and seeing if that works.

Meanwhile, I tend to browse with fairly vanilla settings, so I'm not going to see the problems they see. I do see ads sometimes. Maybe I should block them, but often I will just go to a different website. I guess that's similar?

In some sense, we are seeing a different Web because we are running different web browsers. That's going to be true anyway, though. People have different preferences about which websites they like.

They mention cars like the Leaf. 212 miles on 40kWh. Even if say 20kWh for 100 miles, that's like >$0.60/kWh for at home charging based on their calculations. They don't cite any variables used and I'm guessing using cheapest gas and most expensive electricity costs...to make the point they are trying to make.

The primary purpose of these policies is that they actually do help people get clean. It's harder to fix up your life when you're also going through the criminal justice system, or otherwise trying to avoid all forms of authority.

Consider this: if drug use is criminalised, then seeking help increases your risk of getting arrested!
There are ways of being an employee that questions and creates change despite being agreeable. But it's about not being an arsehole, being able to meet people in the middle and picking your battles. It's really important to express what you think it's right, whilst finding some sort of middle ground.

If you are completely unagreeable and are unable to demonstrate any empathy for another person's perspective or opinion, you're just simply not going to be a great person to work with at all.

I'm not saying it works everywhere, but you do need to build trusting relationships with people in order to grow within most companies. That trust is built on providing value for being there and also being able to communicate effectively with others even when in a dispute.

Many people I've seen who progress aren't necessarily brown nosing.
I'm talking about a hypothetical world where the lifetime of a patent is only, say, 5 years. That's a much shorter window to recoup expenses, and thus many projects that are financially justifiable in the current environment would not be.
> People will complain about the debt ceiling -- granted, it's kinda dumb -- but it's also the only speed bump left to unlimited money printing.

This is wrong. This is a misunderstanding of what the debt ceiling is.

Congress has the power of the purse and can pass what ever budget they want.

They can say tomorrow that they will spend $1,000,000,000,000 a year on what every they want and the debt ceiling can't do anything about it.

The Debt ceiling is only about existing spending. Which has already been authorized. And ironically, almost always by the party no longer in power who is trying to block the debt ceiling from being raised to pay for the spending they authorized when they were in power.

It does nothing to stop congress from authorizing new spending after the fact.

Congress can chose to lower spending when they are in office. The fact that neither party has done that in over 30 years indicates that neither party cares about the national debt until the other party is in power.

Back in the day, one of my friends built a Spectrum-compatible computer from parts, using a piece of laminate board without foil, some thin wires, and a 60W soldering iron, in a college dorm room.

There's a huge strain of "mind your own business" running through the USA right now. When someone is out of line, you used to be able to rely on the public to correct that behavior. Now if you try, you're the bad guy--or "Karen" as they say, and everyone flips out their cell phone cameras to try to capture that crazed weirdo who has the audacity to ask someone else to behave themselves.

I brought my kid to a pumpkin patch for Halloween last year and this lady told her kids to simply cut in line so they can go do some fun thing first. I thought to myself "crap, I can't say anything because you know what'll happen." My elderly father didn't have that inner voice and told the lady to get her kids to the back of the line. Well, as I expected, lady totally went bananas, whipped out her cellphone, shouting "you don't talk to my kids!" calling my old man a racist... everything under the sun.

We're expected to simply sit back, mind our own business, and ignore bad/destructive behavior. If you believe in the social contract you're out of line.

Raising the debt ceiling isn't righteous. The dollar is almost exclusively backed by two things: the petrodollar and the subsequent ability to open the gates of hell in order to defend it.

We are right to consider why we are a primarily export-based economy with a dollar tied so tenuously to oil. Blaming Republicans, when in fact it's a problem of crony-capitalism, is somewhat shortsighted. Some of the richest, filthiest, congresspeople are Democrats. To assert it's one-sided is very sound-bite politics of you. I would go to open secrets and see just how equal congresspeople are in exploiting the national debt for political and financial gain.
Far better IMO. One of my favorite books of all time.

You are your body. You don't have the right to do what you want to yourself. That's your assumption, not a self-evident truth. The very idea that you can do absolutely what you want to yourself is incoherent. It undermines the very basis of morality. You're effectively saying the objective good doesn't matter. What matters is what I want to do. That annihilates all morality.

I also said nothing about do-gooders. I never said I supported do-gooders. What sorts of legal measures ought to exist is a prudential judgement. In this case, it's clear that drug use should be criminalized.

> Am I reading the insinuations properly, that people are blaming Republicans for the rating change because they dare to question printing unlimited money, and belive if Republicans were more "responsible" and just allowed money to be printed unchecked there would be no problem?

If the GOP has an issue with "printing unlimited money", perhaps they should have cut spending when they had full control of Congress and the White House, rather than implementing cut taxes and boost spending:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act

The GOP only has an issue with "printing unlimited money" when there is a Democrat in the White House.

The Republicans were also quite adamant on spending control during the Clinton (Democrat) years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995–1996_United_States_federa...

But much less so under the Bush (Republican) years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_tax_cuts

Reminder: it was under a Democratic president (Clinton) that the US had a budget surplus:

* https://www.brookings.edu/articles/a-surplus-if-we-can-keep-...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_Bill_Cl...

And it was lost under a Republican president.

So yes: it is one particular party that is more of the issue.
In what hypothetical world is there enough corruption/incompetence for regulatory capture to be a problem, yet at the same time there isn't enough corruption/incompetence for arbitrary and retroactive punishments for legal behaviors to be a good idea?

Even putting aside the problem of implementation, you also need to consider the second order effects. Specifically, impact on the development of new technologies. Why would anyone want to commercialize any new technology when it can set them up for unlimited personal liability in the future? Remember, the whole point isn't that just the company has to pay for their damages, it's their shareholders and corporate officers will personally held liable for damages as well. How are you going to get innovations in fusion/ai/superconductor when all of them will be subject to the threat of arbitrary and retroactive punishment in the future? For instance, you create an generative art AI startup today. Presently there aren't any regulations, so you do the bare minimum of due diligence. This seems reasonable, given that it's not really like chatgpt so the chance of AI takeover is low. Three decades down the line generative art AI becomes a hit and millions of artists around the world are unemployed. They lobby the government to prosecute you and your shareholders for putting them out of work, arguing that you "CHOSE not do enough research beforehand to be aware of dangers". Does that seem like a fair risk to subject the founders to? Do you think this is a worthwhile trade-off between innovation and conversation?

There would be serious, worldwide repercussions involved in tanking the USD.

And by flooding the economy with cash, UBI would make the problem worse, not better. Surrounding economic variables (prices, supply, cost of labor, exchange rates, etc.) would ensure that the UBI wouldn't be enough to support people. A planned economy is not the solution either - see every time that's been tried in history.

The only solution is a long-term, consistent commitment to conservative fiscal policy -- reducing unnecessary government spending, reducing the debt, balancing the budget and working within it, etc. Anything less is inviting economic trouble.
Because inflation.

FF is the least irritating of a bad lot. I'd really like a "programmer's build" or something, with knobs for this stuff - FF used to be better about exposing them in preferences, even if it was a bit obscure.
