You're playing into the hands of the owners by pitting different groups of workers against each other. I suggest that you stop doing that.

190k is definitely not on the high end by Silicon Valley-standards: https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/san-francisco-bay-area

It's irrelevant to the matter of whether they should strike or not, as well.

China does a variant of this where the whole country is on Beijing time. 99% Invisible did an episode that covered it here: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/matters-of-time/

Basically the local Uyghur population in Xinjiang code switch and maintain an unofficial local time which aligns more closely with the movement of the sun.

TRAINS

I think this is basically testing:

1. If you have been practicing your leetcoding recently, and
2. If you're decent at leetcoding under pressure

I mean, the pay is still way ahead of anything outside FAANG, really.

Voluntary layoffs - probably the best form of layoffs if you ask me - still come with severance packages that have to be paid. Very few people will be interested in quitting just because you ask them, but a good many will do it if you sweeten the deal.

Basically we have 3 variants here:

Regular layoffs - have to pay severance + can select who leaves RTO stealth layoffs - don't have to pay severance + can't select who leaves Voluntary layoffs - have to pay severance + can't select who leaves

Any morally bankrupt business would of course want a fourth variant where they get to select who leaves and don't have to pay severance, but thankfully this option is generally not available to them.

Anyway, voluntary layoffs are the best out of a selection of bad choices for the workers, but come with the most downsides for the morally bankrupt business.

Only has to work once, you pocket the savings on severance packages one time and then go back to regular layoffs.

Dystopian as all hell, but such is the corporate world.

The Swedish state-run media puts out a very good comparison between all the parties each election year which I use to understand what position each party has. It's been generally easy to figure out which party is closest to me using that tool. It can be used for the three tiers of elections that we have in Sweden.

Other than that I try to look at polls to see whether it would be generally better for me to place a strategic vote on a party that is not my first choice.

Couldn't you just start a recording on your regular video camera, do the training, stop the recording and then play it back?

I'm not sure this warrants a different application, to be honest.

iirc it's basically to appease the Cuban voting block in Florida who are against the regime in Cuba (because they got kicked out/lost property/whatever). This group holds some amount of sway in federal elections on account of Florida being (having been?) a swing state.

I believe Obama was in the process of mending the relations between the U.S and Cuba, and then Trump got into office and promptly reversed it as a giveaway to this group that now votes Republican.

Given that they own all of the source code (CLA is required to contribute), they can just stop offering the code under GPL, unless they happen to have any GPL dependencies not under their control, in which case this would not be viable.
