I pay attention to individual news sources over time and compare what they reported about things in the moment with what we've learned about those things long after the fact. There are strong patterns where some news sources tend to be much more accurate than others.

I pay more attention to the ones that are historically more accurate and less attention to the ones that don't.

The kinds of things they cover don't enter into it.

This is precisely the point. Just because you can't doesn't meant it isn't there. The hubris to think that just because the reason can't be seen right now with the limited information available at the time of decision means everything will be fine is exactly my point of hesitation on any of these decisions.

It must be nice to not ever worry about compensation. I havent gotten a raise in 2 years and there's no promotions available despite work enforcing horrid on-call and "team player" work hours.

I personally cannot wait for the market to improve so I can be compensated fairly. Pizza parties while the product, sales, etc teams get massive bonuses because "studies show employees wont ask for more money when they're appreciated" is a hyper-dense sphere of pure bullshit. When inflation stops effecting me and I can buy food with appreciation I'll care more about it. The best way to appreciate an employee is cold, hard cash.
I have a similar setup. Do you have this set up to launch the applications at boot? AFAIK Sway has no provision to store the layout between reboots, which is actually a feature.

Upper management does not need to log working hours and can work unpaid overtime. So, they can easily exchange emails on weekends. But when they involve a regular employee, who has to reach working hours, then it's overtime.
If anyone else runs into this issue, typically the direct route for things like this is to get involved a discussion with someone in your Total Rewards / Global Compensation team. These are usually the people that confirm the mapping of internal positions to benchmarks, and there is huge between-organizations variability in the quality behind that process.

Many times normal managers or more generalist HR Partners (especially if more junior) may not appreciate that this is a data error vs. a frustrated hiring manager trying to tell you their subjective feelings are more correct than policy.

That having been said: I still think the whole thing stinks.

In my country it is not unusual for people to work 36 hours. You'd imagine that a nation like Korea or Japan would be twice as rich because they work 70 hours yet it doesn't seem to go that way...

Obviously if you do have a 50-70 workweek your job IS your life. Your co workers are your best friends and it doesn't matter if they call you up in the middle of the night. I have observed that in Workaholic cultures people spend a lot of time socialising with co-workers and less time on actually working.

I prefer the Dutch style of "working to live". Even if that means that you have to bring your own food and eat it behind a laptop. You can socialise at home.

Ask HN: Self-hosted FOSS PDF annotator
To receive feedback about my novel from alpha readers, readers are emailed a private link to a PDF hosted on my website. Several readers have asked about submitting feedback by annotating the PDF in their browser.

I'm envisioning a pdf.js integration with pdf-lib leveraging a .htaccess interceptor. PHP on the back-end stores annotations in a .json file that corresponds to the PDF's filename. On each HTTP GET request to the PDF, a PHP script reads the corresponding JSON file and modifies the PDF on-the-fly with the annotations. When annotating, modifications are sent from the client using an HTTP PUT request, which is then appended to the corresponding JSON file.

Would this be useful to anyone else?

"Invest" here doesn't necessarily mean monetary investment, they could for instance choose to degrade their arbitration and appeals process further, understaff it, or push regulatory boundaries in that direction. And that would possibly save them money, at least in the short term.

And to the extent that costs do go up for appeals processes, there's no guarantee that the resulting setup has margins that incentivize doing right by customers at all.

The way I read it, it basically says "you can't pay your employees well and treat them like shit. You need to pay them well _and_ treat them well".

"By becoming students of our employees’ needs, then devoting ourselves to improving the employee experience."

Management, especially executive management, has no idea how to do this nor do they have the ambition to, same for HR. Years ago you didn't have diverse workforces and you had stability, both as defaults. Now the workforce is diverse as hell and there is zero stability.

My current employer is touting the ESOP as a great benefit. It takes a year to get in, and five more before you vest. The grim reality is that most of the gen-z that get hired in are going to get laid off or move on before they vest. ESOP is a gimmick to make you think your employment is going to be stable. It's a lie.
I think anyone can walk away from that explanation with their own methodology vindicated.

There's really no reason to boot up anyone. Even look at population levels - there's marginal return for adding additonal people as is. In fact, it's probably better to boot up a robot to so some sort of work than to boot up any average person, as its needs and resources would be lower.

That phrase was probably a bad choice of words; I believe the fuller intent was

"Let's fund initiatives which build our community, like teachers and school lunch so our kids aren't hungry. That's more important than funding police who come from outside our community and have a reputation for extortion and murder of our citizens instead of protecting us."

You may disagree with the read on the situation of the people involved, but I would be very surprised if you support the idea of you being taxed to support an armed force which was sent into your community and only ever acted in a hostile way towards you.

telegram purports to be "encrypted".

There has been no audit of that. The servers live in a country with questionable legal standing for digital citizens.

Sadly it has been from the beginning. Companies in the US only care about profits, not about what is good for the Country they are in. And in reality that is how capitalism works.

Pouring money into these companies will do nothing. What is needed is laws with real punishment for the Company and maybe the CEOs. IIRC, there was a time were all defense contractors had to be 100% sourced in the US, not now.

So I would say a law like this: "70% of all products you sell and all the components must be 100% built in the US. If not, you are fine of 30% of your pretax worldwide revenue, including international subsidiaries". If you leave the US, you will be nationalized.

Which is completely besides the point when the question is "should you trust Telegram", given that they are still entirely under Telegram's logical control.

The only circumstance under which this is a meaningful difference is when somebody other than Telegram (law enforcement with a warrant, law enforcement without a warrant, criminals etc.) walks into a data center and pulls those servers' hard disks.

> This made me realize how fun games are going to become when integrated with AI, where we aren't limited to the coded option dialogues.

I was on this train for a bit until after reading some posts from game developers as to why this is probably a terrible idea to the point of unfeasibility - game design (as I understand it) deals with a finite set of outcomes in a controlled environment. "Integrating" AI with games would involve shattering this constraint in a way that would make games inherently unstable/untestable - at least if I am understanding the argument correctly.

Safeguard Your Kubernetes Production Cluster with Kubectl-Guard
As many of us know, running potentially destructive commands on a production cluster can be risky if you're not careful. To add an extra layer of caution, I've created a bash script called kubectl-guard.

What does it do?
kubectl-guard acts as a guardrail by prompting you to confirm some of the kubectl commands if you're working in a production environment. This helps prevent unintentional changes to critical environments.

How to use it?
Check the github repo : https://github.com/mohamedch7/kubectl-guard

I'm all in favor of making the best of what's available. But at the same time, if such thinking is taken as dogma, innovation suffers.

But suppose you have an entire forest of logs. Then it may indeed be worth breeding bigger oxen (or rather, inventing tractors).

The theories on this I know are:

* Some people will use cryonics services that set aside and invest money in order to pay for reviving people, so specific resources could be available for reviving those people

* Future people may be curious for archaeological and historical purposes (I'd certainly like to be able to interview that medieval stonemason!)

* Future people might see it as a form of charity (a way of voluntarily helping helpless people)

Of course these are all assuming a future in which a revival technology exists and is meaningfully applicable to people whose brains were preserved in the present day.

When I first started, I was rarely hungry in the classical sense. Instead, I knew I was hungry because I would suddenly get tired. When I ate, my energy almost immediately returned.

Also, sometimes when we think we're hungry, we're actually dehydrated.

So, I would argue that nobody needs to ignore hunger pangs. First, drink some water and wait a few minutes. Still hungry? Then eat something[1]. It's ok.

You pretty much summed up managers that have most of their employees on H1-B in the US. I know multiple managers that offload most of the work to the Asian immigrants on the H1-B visa, have them work 10+ hours a day and know that they can get them to do anything they want, because if they don't, they are scared that they can get fired and have to leave the country. I know multiple friends who silently work on weekends to potentially avoid being fired and leave the country!

If you want to see the effectiveness of monopoly regulation, look at California's PG&E vs Texas' deregulated electricity provider market.

Yes. We're dealing with French law on French soil in respect of a dual national.
