Yeah, I’m glad there’s a bunch of options! I know I have some oddly specific preferences and I’m sure others do too, so hopefully there’s something that’ll mostly acomodate everyone.
Wet bulb temp of 95° F is the start of deadly heat for humans. That’d be about 109° @ 50% humidity, or 130° with dry air. I’d say it’ll be a crap shoot next year, when El Nino is in full swing, whether we see more crop or human death from the heat. But for a glorious moment, we created a lot of value for the shareholders…
Maybe so, but proving without any possible doubt that was the cause is the burden of the fired employee, who also likely doesnt have money for a lawyer, let alone court fees to persue the case in the first place.
This difficulty is only amplified in at-will employment areas where your boss can fire you on the spot for no reason at all.
Its as if the system was built from the ground up to benefit businesses over people.
So if the employee was fired on the spot, that would pretty much guarantee a win in most states unless the boss could show that they had already planned to fire them before they shouted “unionize”.
If the boss fired them a month later, that would be a different story. But yeah, the rest of that is valid.
At the end of the day I think peoples’ systems should be made with open-source components, like firmware and OS, and then they can choose whether to put closed-source apps on it or not.
That being said, I personally moved away from proprietary social media (except youtube) mostly because they’re proprietary, plus ad tracking, so I don’t like the idea of throwing it all away just to put another closed-source app on my phone. But that’s just me
Listened to a podcast about this earlier in the week. The research test case was call center workers. Seems like bullshit to generalize like this for all work types. Also, let’s remember how high productivity was during the pandemic when everyone was working from home.
For me personally, my productivity is boosted. Without a commute I end up working an additional 2 hours a day. I have more time to focus and spend less time at lunch. In the office, my coworkers and the environment is distracting. I spend an hour at lunch with my coworkers.
Additionally, all meetings are now remote. Even in the office, people call in from their desks. There is no reason to be in the office.
The reason to be in the office is that the office real estate value is going to plummet if they can’t get people working in them again as demand will drop.
Yeah, I agree that this is the real reason why everyone is being forced back to the office and why Forbes is pushing this crap. A year ago the studies all showed that remote work was great for productivity or that there was no impact. Now that a few rich people looked at their commercial property investments and didn’t like what they saw, it’s a different story. The fact is though that a lot of that commercial real estate is a waste of space built around a car-centric existence. Workers prefer remote. We should convert all that real estate into housing. We have a housing shortage. Seems like a good idea.
100% agree. I wonder if they’d recoup their investment doing that or if housing is worth less than commercial real estate and that’s why they don’t want to do that?
Lol I work in cloud engineering. Servers, but not pure dev. I’m testing Copilot use with my work currently so I’ve been making use of this stuff.
Don’t focus too much on the wording here, this is more referring to Gary buying 3 GPUs to make anime tiddies thinking he can sell them to some chumps.
Also the fact that engineers don’t think they’ll be able to stop their language models from straight up lying occasionally makes a chunk of use cases… concerning.
Basically, a lot of the current uses seem a bit crude and are being rushed market a bit too quickly.
You need to take all that text off and change it, so it says “gamers” because you fuckin wish crypto would stay crashed and nothing else would come along, no, here’s AI, and crypto won’t die, you are never going to buy a GPU for a reasonable price, again, unless you want to overpay for the one that’s only good for 1080p, still.
NFTs don’t care if they were a fad for chumps, I know damn well who’s doing all the sobbing and shaking.
eh, you’re free to retire in your mid 30s. it’s easy. i retired in my late 30s, then went back to work again when I ran out of money a few years later. it was nice, i look forward to retiring again.
oh no, my job was offshored by IBM - I decided I wasnt going to work anymore and did that for a few years. then I ran low on funds and found a new job. I could quit now & do the same thing for a few years but I’ve got a different plan this time around, it’ll drastically reduce my monthly expenditures allowing my next “retirement” to much longer - possibly permanent.
Dude it is NOT easy to make enough to retire in your 30s. Congratulations to you for even making it a few years. That’s a huge accomplishment. But saying it’s easy is a bit unfair to those who are not able to make that kind of income.
Saying this as someone who also plans to retire before I turn 40, and I DO have an income advantage. It has been very difficult even still.
Not at all. These are normal questions, especially from r/financialindependence back from Reddit. South Florida but I bought my house and homesteaded it (locks the property taxes to no more than 3% increase per year) before the value doubled. Home is paid off. No other debt anymore. I can and have spent as little as $25k per year, to as much as $40k per year. This only represents my half of expenses though. My wife has her own fire plans.
