Not in practice, because they use a hiring entity to dictate the terms. You're expected to show up on a schedule, do the work etc. much like a FTE, but you're not an FTE.

I think some folks have this illusion of software contractors that this is somehow common, it really isn't. The norm is you-are-almost-but-not-quite an employee type work environment, and thats at the better places.

I've worked at a place where contractors were treated like they weren't human, basically. Worst equipment, forced to work in an old warehouse that barely passed code to be considered retrofitted for an office, people routine got sick out there because they were exposed to the elements. Not to mention, during fire season (this was California) they were in a building that didn't have a good enough air filtration system, so they were forced to sit in smoke all day, more or less

I quit that place pretty quickly, but it was nothing short of terrible

What languages/ecosystems is this not the case? Even with C/C++ you probably shouldn't be relying on your distro's package management for library and toolchain support.

Also, you do not need nightly unless there is some very shiny and new feature that you need that isn't on stable yet.

Depends on the agreement. First off, probably 99% of these contractors work for a contracting company, so as a contractor you have no say: You are an employee of (another) company and they'll set the rules.

If you're truly independent, then sure - try to make whatever agreement you want with Google.

> Those "insurers" are absolute scumbags

It’s complicated. On the other hand are fraudsters and private-equity owned hospitals maxing the bill button. If the insurer is lax with payouts, it depletes its capital and could be left insolvent. It’s a scummy system more than a system of scumbags. (To be clear, there are scumbag insurers. But it’s reductive to cite that generally, or designate it as the source of the system’s troubles.)

It's a low-quality comment but no worse than every other comment in this thread that similarly indicates zero understanding of how insurance actually works.

Your claims are paid with the money collected from your, and other members', premiums. Everyone wants insurance that covers every single claim with few questions or limits, but that insurance company would quickly have to make the choice between dramatically increasing premiums or going out of business.

Every time a government entity mandates that insurance plans cover additional services, the cost of care goes up and subsequently so do premiums. When premiums go up, people / businesses shart shopping around and leave the pool, meaning the risk is spread out among even fewer (likely sicker) people and the premiums go up even more.

The alternative is just having everyone in one giant "single payer" pool so risk is minimized, with participation mandatory. Then, that entity (government probably) would just pay all the claims because in theory there would be less incentive to watch the bottom line. In reality, we've already tried this: Medicare is the largest single-payer health insurance system in the world, plus we have 50 Medicaid single-payer systems at the state level and additional single-payer systems at the federal level (Tri-Care and VA benefits). All of these systems face the same fiscal challenges and have been implementing every cost control measure they can think of for the past 2 decades. Medicare has been trying to move from Fee For Service (FFS) to outcome-based reimbursement for a long time now.

Those of us who know, know: the problem is COST in the system. Healthcare is EXPENSIVE.

Consider the lack of GPU a blessing. You absolutely do not want a hybrid NVIDIA GPU laptop, unless you want to sit with it plugged in at a desk while the fans try and keep the GPU from melting through the case. Worse battery life. With absolutely not a single other tangible benefit.

Unless you are using the GPU for machine learning or w/e, in that case, the only utility it has.

No, the minisforum will be much more powerful. I think that CPU will be roughly twice as powerful and the GPU included (6600M) similarly roughly twice as powerful.

As the other commenter said, there are other handhelds, some getting better chips. But for your use case, you could also choose a small gaming pc or a laptop.

If you would get use out of a gaming laptop separate from attaching to your TV then that's pretty attractive choice because it does everything the mini PC does without that much more space.

> I'll add given that you are on HN you probably also remember and understand more from school than you realize.

Maybe--my claim isn't that I didn't learn anything in school, but that what I did learn was a fraction of what I could have learned, and that most of the material I was shown I now struggle to remember. I can barely recall a thing from any science class that wasn't reinforced by my engineering degree, and most of the things I know about history I learned after college when I started actually paying attention to it. Even my current geography skills are from repetitions outside of college as an adult.

When you listen to the average American trying to put together a coherent argument about society, politics, foreign countries, history, etc., or even just to write a coherent email, you're seeing the result of years of worksheet-classes. These are people who are certain they possess a great deal of knowledge, when in fact their recall of specific facts and ability to reason logically are heavily atrophied from years of educational neglect and accidental gaslighting. "I got an A in English class and a 28 on the ACT, so I must be good at English!"

> repetition is still required to do anything other than move a vague knowledge to applicable knowledge.

I completely agree with this.

Funnily enough, one of my issues with worksheet-classes is that there's not enough repetition. Topics in classes from mathematics to English to science are treated like Pokemon moves, where once you learn the move you retain it forever.

This is in stark contrast to the teaching of artisanal skills like cooking, sports, music, and art. Even if they're learned in a class, the successful execution of the skill is required every time you interact with it, and explicit attention is paid to the necessities of repetition.

In music, if you can't play a passage, you slow down and repeat it many times, and if you still can't play it, you move backwards to fundamental skills and repeat those. In high school math, if you can't execute a problem, you get a few weeks to voluntarily try repeating it yourself, and then you're given an exam, and then the entire class moves on with or without you.

If you read the original lawsuit, the issue is that the car's infotainment system is set to forward/display messages and calls from your phone, and that that information is stored or logged persistently, and that can't be deleted/cleared by the user.

The claimed invasion of privacy is that a person with the diagnostic tools and physical access to your car can extract those logs.

Presenting this as "car manufacturers can steal your text and call logs" is disingenuous.

Don't get me wrong, it's clearly not a great thing for the car to be doing (especially in the context of rental cars for instance) but it isn't the catastrophe people are claiming.
