Isn't this basically Peeple except gender locked to women? Peeple failed because they couldn't eliminate bias and gossip against anyone. If someone was jealous of another, for example, that person could just write false slander and claim it was real with no evidence. That would have affected the victim for jobs, dates, etc. So it was laughed at by VCs and everyone online and it shut down.

How is Tea even legal? Isn't this just a legal libel timebomb waiting to happen?

How the heck does a US president have military powers so powerful and broad? If congress can only declare war, it doesn't make sense to me that the president can put the entire country at risk of war by directly bombing another country. Like then at that point, congress has to approve right..? Because the damage is already done. It's a big slap on the face at the global stage, with no room for political face-saving. The damage being already done to both global reputation and national sovereignty. There's no going back.

If another country bombed the US, and then their system of government was like, "oh well it isn't technically war cause it was just our single head honcho making his own decision. But good news, our second government entity officially declared not going to war with you, kthxbye srry lol", that logic isn't going to fly in the US. The US is gonna retaliate and consider it an act of war, because it was bombed by a foreign power... damage being already done.

How the heck can Trump do this. I get it if the US got attacked, then it's useless to wait for congress to decide war-or-not-war... but this literally puts the US on a direct war path with Iran. the US literally just bombed another country unprovoked.

And Trump said he hated war, which was his platform when running. He was gonna end the war in Ukraine because nobody wins and war is nasty. What is going on.. why is Congress so spineless too. They probably won't even do anything. This is the worst timeline ever.

An employee doesn't just suddenly go awol for no reason if they've been a model employee for over 10 years. This is burnout probably triggered by something big that happened in their personal life. Maybe a death in the family, a broken relationship, etc. It's no joke.

That's gonna make them really wonder about the meaning of life. If you haven't been paying him well or been providing increases to his salary, then that's gonna trigger an even more avalanche of existential thoughts.

The guy needs a break, let him have it. People aren't machines that are oblivious to external pressures outside of work. You can ask if everything's ok, but don't push it as it's people's personal lives. Propose he take a long vacation in your next 1:1, at least one month break. If he doesn't have enough vacation to cover, then just grant him special permission to take it under the table. He's been there for 10 years, he deserves a rest.

Don't be like shitlassian. https://shitlassian.com/ The fact that management is already considering firing this person for slipping after 10 years without any consideration to the person themselves, but can't because of some 'technical company rule' is pretty toxic IMO.

nice! was this built in electron?

The point of technology is to make our lives easier and cheaper. There's no point to have chatgpt to charge this way other than to make the capitalist owners more money.

Otherwise the self-serve machines at Mcdonalds should cost the company the same as an employee with a fair salary. Mass assembly lines building cars and machines should cost the same as 100+ workers including costs of health benefits and breaks.

How does the webapp get all the financial data from different banks and stock accounts? Do I have to plug it all in myself everyday?

Ultimately you know what's best for you. But I would follow what you wrote here:

> Last option, work on it while employed and hope I won't get sued. Maybe quit around the time I'm close to be done with a v1 and start marketing to reduce risk a bit.

Keep in mind that 99% of startups fail. Better be safe than sorry financially! Just don't mention anything to your colleagues at work, your boss, etc about it.

> Also, is it actually good for the union workers in the bigger picture?

What's the alternative? Wait forever for Boeing to give workers a decent raise, which absolutely will NOT happen? Workers just got a big pay raise by demanding for it.

But yes, you're right that Union leadership is also spineless. Modern union leaders tend to appease the big bosses by giving in to what they want, trying to convince workers that the lower offers is the best they can get, and then trying to get the workers to vote for it. Stronger leadership would have rejected it because they know that workers are the soul of a company: without workers there is no company.

Yea, try everything you can think of and good luck! But my 2cents is to do these things while having a job. You'll have positive cash flow for financial security and if things don't work out then you'll at least still be able to afford to go out with friends, travel, etc. Just find a dev job that doesn't demand too much (or if it does, push back regularly or increase scrum estimation), and work on your side projects after work. I was in your position once, never made it, don't think the sacrifice was worth it, so I really recommend this.

Most author's don't even make money from their books. Publishers take a massive chunk out of any profits they make, leaving them with barely anything.

So even if you buy the book, the author isn't really getting that much, they're probably still starving. The truth is it's the publishers that's not getting paid, and that's why all these lawsuits are happening. The political power one needs to even get someone extradited alone implies it's not just random authors banding together to sue, it's powerful rich publishers, someone with political connections. And prosecutors are going all out it seems, piling on BS charges of money laundering??

I hope the zadmins win. Maybe the ACLU can get in on this to drop the case, but they generally only take open-shut cases in their favor sadly.

This just feels so money-lobbied to me by the US auto industry. Objectively, here we have a nation that is pushing for green energy by having their government subsidize it, something that every nation on Earth should be doing in order to collectively meet climate goals. This is a net positive for the whole world. We should be moving more toward green energy than not, and if this accelerates it, then all the better?

I understand if people are concerned whether the cars are up to standard, built well, have good reparability and convenient repair garages. But this doesn't seem to factor in here, just that profits are hurt for US car companies because they have been outcompeted.

Who gets naming rights in these cases? If I find a fossil, but some other scientist classifies it, do I still get rights to name it? Is there a legal framework around this, or is it just whoever has the biggest ego wins?

Yes, employers should pay for the phone if they require on-call, 2FA, or any other reason that requires an employee to be pinged by mobile.

In fact, this should itself be a law.

Just get a lawyer and get a first consultation to see where you are.

> In January, Microsoft announced it was planning to lay off 10,000 employees, told them it would pause most raises this year, and said it would reduce bonus and stock awards

> And yet, Microsoft is set to report record-breaking revenue. The software giant is worth $2.5 trillion, and its stock is near a record high.

Looks like Satya wants a massive bonus for himself this year. Thanks troops for your sacrifice...

Sometimes your gut feelings are right. Be on the lookout for more red flags, they're sure to pop up. The thing is, unless you are indispensable to the company, they're possibly gonna axe you without a second thought. Your gut feeling is telling you there's a good chance of that. They company isn't going to care about your baby, it cares only about money. Even on the more personal level, your direct boss doesn't give a damn about you it seems, so don't count on human empathy to give you any leeway here.

The reality is you can't do much. It's not up to you whether you can save your position, if the company is planning to axe you then it's gonna do it without any regard to what you think is fair. So just keep that in mind, and plan your current situation to your advantage:

First I would check to see if they pay out PTO. Some PTO like floating holidays or personal days may not get paid out (read your contract). Optimize on taking that PTO first, immediately. Since you have a baby, take your parental leave soon. Even if they lay you off, you can get severance and also be able to apply for unemployment benefits to cover some costs of your newborn and support your family while you're not working. Do not just quit yourself, because then the company wins: they get to skip out on severance, and you can't apply for unemployment.

Then after your parental leave is over, see if there's sick days you can use. Sometimes it's use-it-or-lose it, so you can use that time to find a new job if you don't like your current one. You don't have to take this all at once, just disperse it here and there to lighten your workload so you can have time to practice those leetcodes and whatever for your interviews.

Whatever you do, just remember you have to look out for yourself and your family first, and congrats on the baby!
