Finally, and most importantly, I hope my case might put a little crack into the wall of “selfishness, greed, and apathy”, which, in the words of climate lawyer Gus Speth, is the main hindrance to stopping runaway climate change. Many people will think that it is madness to give up their dream job to avoid taking one flight. But in the current era of climate breakdown, it is, in my opinion, insane to continue with “business as usual”, when science tells us that we are either dangerously close to or past the point of collapse for major ecosystems.

Here what surprises me, there a number of applicant who startred a new job 2-3 months ago and already looking for new job. I always ask them why they are looking for a job change. And also, there are applicants who barely worked a year at one place. It is difficult to understand their reasons, but udually it is no.

Google was not required to implement that the way they did, which is basically a server-side scanning policy of having contractors look at your nudes if you put them on your cloud drive.

Well, its not really theoretical that "at-will" employment means that termination is allowed by default (good cause is not required), but there are still prohibited "bad causes" (race, sex, labor organizing, etc.)

Of course, the burden is on the complaining party to show the bad cause, its not simply a matter of assertion.

Adding my two cents of positivity:

I love seeing language projects that implement their own compiler backends. There really aren't enough of these around. Anything that helps bridge the knowledge gap between newbies and production grade compilers is a net positive in my books.

And extra brownie points for writing it in C. Think whatever about memory safety and language age but C code is abundantly explicit about what's going on with the code, which is something I really appreciate when approaching some new code to learn stuff.

I’m confused at how it is that people actually think that an employer doesn’t have the ability to dictate to its employees where their working location will be. They did it in early 2020 when they sent us all home. You are not forced to work at the location they specify—your employment in the US is always at will, so just quit and find another gig that suits you.
It seems unambiguous that it was possible for X to get away with doing this if they were slightly less aggressive about it - set a reasonable RTO timeline instead of demanding people show up immediately, not go on witch hunts by scanning slack messages, etc. But X's new owner loves drama and wants to feel powerful, so we get this.

On the other hand you could also argue that they did get away with it, because multiple years of legal battles with the NLRB don't really count as much of a loss unless they result in big enough penalties to actually hurt the people who made these decisions.
You're completely right. But that doesn't change the fact that current publicly traded companies are legally required to maximize profits to shareholders above other goals.

That's 'the game' that's the problem. I want the most powerful companies in the world to be driven by more universally beneficial goals. We need different ways to organize and govern giant corporations. Fuck shareholders (please ignore my 401k), passive rent seeking is a cancer on the economy. Investment is a lubricant to grease the wheels of the economy. Too much lubricant, or of the wrong viscosity, gums up the works and moves energy from productive work to waste heat.

The East India Company might not be the best basis for a better corporation though. Using a private army to force unwanted drug imports into a sovereign state isn't something I want to see in this century. Though once the US cannabis industry reaches the power of big tobacco I expect it'll lobby the US to force imports into other countries. Which is hilarious because the US is responsible for lots of countries outlawing cannabis.

Yeah the were an agency with basicly no oversite and unlimited budget for much of their existence. Now they supposedly have to answer to Congress at least. Personally I think we ought to start over with clean slate agency with better oversight and legistive limits on their action beyond which they require Congress aproval on a case by case basis, and none of the current decision makers be allowed in. Do the same with the NSA. Also enable the FBI to have constant oversight on them and report if they are hiding anything from Congress from or exceeding their remit

The person wasn’t fired for refusing to work in a specific location, but organizing their coworkers against resigning in the face of various abuses and a de facto layoff. The latter is protected under US labor law while the former (depending on the circumstances or terms of their employment) is generally not.
If your employer made promises about work location and/or work hours, they can't just suddenly go back on those promises and demand that you immediately upend your entire life to comply. Even if your employment agreement said they are allowed to do that, it may not be legally enforceable.

What they can definitely do is say "anyone who can't show up to work in this office is getting laid off", and then perform a mass layoff in compliance with the law (N days advance notice and/or severance, etc).

Claiming that if you choose to dance to a puppeteer's tune no matter what kind of demands they make on short notice you have "effectively resigned" is not a healthy employee/employer relationship and any boss doing that should expect to get harassed by the NLRB.

This is all separate from the question of whether X retaliated against people for organizing, which is definitely an illegal thing to do.
I take all of my health advice exclusively from statistical language models.
Hmmm, do you mean that it recreates a hierarchy of words in its latent space? I would argue that such a structured spatial hierarchy is the model's understanding of the world.
Considering that healthcare is tied to employment in the US, a job change is high friction. Relocating ones family and life are as well. When companies change a policy like WFH to RTO they're asking a lot. And often it's a stealth layoff to avoid regulations.
The name X is more appropriate, because pretty soon the company will soon be dead enough to have cartoon Xes for eyes.

I would go so far as to call it explicitly disheartening. To put those figures in perspective, someone at the lower BMI threshold (30) for obesity needs to lose 1/6th (~16.7%) of their body weight to get down to the upper BMI threshold (25) for healthy weight; he's bragging that 50% of patients in the "intensive group" can maintain 5% weight loss, and 27% can maintain 10% weight loss. I'm sure that's enough to effect some improvement in health outcomes and quality of life, but I can't imagine it would be helpful to hear this data if I was obese. And that's just comparing to the lowest possible weight at which someone can be obese -- for people who weigh 300+ or even 400+ pounds it would be laughable to hear a doctor say that committing to permanent "intensive" lifestyle changes would likely result in no more than 5% permanent weight loss. Why even bother?

They'd have to improve the quality of the deliveries for that to be useful. Door dash seems to deliver at a random location each time, and about 30% of the time delivers to the neighbor instead of the correct address. Even with sight, it sometimes takes me a few minutes to find the delivery, I have no idea how that would be useable by someone that has partial or no vision.
If I have an agreement with my employer to work at location X, and they decide I have to start working at location Y, they have that right, but I also have the right not to quit and force them to fire me, so I can collect unemployment. Laternatively, my employer could offer a severance package so that we part ways on friendly terms.

I am certainly under no obligation to resign.

You think the name is so important, yet after a decade you wrote twit and twitted... When it's actually tweet and tweeted. Shows you how subjective it all is that after a decade at the top of mind people can still get it wrong.
Of course they can. Just the same as you can quit and expect them to go through the trouble of finding someone to replace you.
The reasoning behind the "corporations should maximize profit" thinking is that if a company doesn't just have one job, then the CEO is allowed to make up their job, and so can basically do anything - like colonizing Indonesia - and it's a lot harder for the board to tell how well they're running it.

However it's obviously not true that they have to maximize profit even today, since our biggest CEOs will simply tell you they don't do it.

The best source on this that I could find is from ArsTechnica: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/why-lower-platform-fe...

If it can be believed, then they don't appear to have an actual stipulation on this in their contracts, and Valve claims that the dispute isn't over pricing on other platforms but over selling Steam keys at less than the price on the storefront. That's a pretty big difference, if true.

The story also looks at whether publishers pass on savings in platform fees to customers. Naturally, they don't seem to.

If this is what you're referring to, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

I wonder why these distribution channels are converging on 30% of sales. What's with that number in particular?
One thing I find slightly confusing/frustrating about IPv6.

You're discouraged from using ULAs (basically the equivalent of private addresses from v4) as they'd rather you use GUAs. But you get your GUAs from your ISP normally, which means if you change your ISP you need to renumber your network. They also generally frown on NPT66. So the supported solution is to get PI space. But to get PI space you need to have an ASN first, which requires you to have public peers, which are you just expected to get someone to peer you and then just firewall all the incoming traffic? These seems to be the one option for stable addresses on a IPv6 network that is not vaguely disapproved of.

Or what people actually do is avoid all that complexity and run IPv4 locally and use RFC1918 addreses NAT46, which seems like a self inflicted defeat to the IPv6 first aims of the IETF, IANA and the RIRs.

If you have valuable skills and they don't want you. Or they're a jerk or an idiot. It makes no sense to stay.

No; brakes function by turning the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat via friction; using the motors for braking via regeneration produces some heat, but a fraction of the amount.

For reference, it’s not uncommon to see temperatures of 1000F or higher after a single highway speed stop on the front rotors of most passenger vehicles. Having that amount of heat that close to the motor is something that needs to be designed around. The rear brakes will typically be 200-400F cooler depending on the weight bias, but that’s still not a trivial amount of heat.
I don't like it either. It also seems arrogant to me – something about squatting on an entire letter and trying to rebrand it for your company.
I tend to phrase it:

They can fire you for no reason. But if they give a reason, it best be a legal one.

Of course, they can fire you for "no reason" when there's evidence there was a non-legal reason, and still be held accountable for an improper dismissal.

> But that doesn't change the fact that current publicly traded companies are legally required to maximize profits to shareholders above other goals.

There is no law requiring this. The principle that companies should maximize profit was designed to prevent CEO pay going up forever, because if the CEO can make up his own job then he can just pick whatever he's doing best at.

> I want the most powerful companies in the world to be driven by more universally beneficial goals.

I'm not sure companies actually stick to their charters, but anyway you're thinking of public benefit corporations.

I think it's simpler to just make bad things illegal though.

I’m assuming one motor at the lowest price point that the site is quoting, and because they state they only have one motor made now. That implies they are comfortable with the trade off and they see two or four as optional.

Show HN: Mnpgr: Use Vim for reading man pages
Mnpgr is a small Lisp program that acts as an intermediary between man and Vim.

The main benefit is that your reading position in any given man page is retained.

Unlike other Vim-based schemes, mnpgr renders the backspace-based overstrikes generated by man into a markup notation for bold and italics. That is then loaded into Vim, with the help of a small custom syntax definition. Thus the syntax coloring is accurate, and the colorized text is searchable (it's not simply a highlighting/concealing scheme for backspace overstrikes).
Just keep saying Twitter. The name change will inevitably be reverted when it's sold in a few years.
