It wasn't censorship. Their activity hit a limit and triggered an automated suspension.

I don't think there is a misunderstanding. I don't recall ever having an issue with it either. Now I don't do anything extreme with it. Just questions, suggestions, or some basic task which are either Microsoft or basic business activity related. I haven't tried anything like coding, deep analysis, or anything complicated. It feels like it is for business tasks so I haven't really tried to push it to do anything outside of that.

What do you mean by "Europe has no budget of their own like the USA and China do"? The EU was specifically mentioned and the EU does have a budget, debt, and income:

> someone to encourage governments to carry out textbook ethnic cleansing

It seems you are indicating DHH has advocated for ethnic cleansing. When did he do this?

Why do you differentiate? If they are doing it solely because they believe the law should be ignored rather than basing the decision on the facts and laws, why should it matter what part of the process the jury is participating in?

Apparently the article was updated to clarify the "delay" date was referring to the delivery dates of new/future orders and not referring to any delays for the very first orders.
Is the terminal you're referring to within, outside, or both within and outside a windowing system? How does it work? I'm not able to find an instance where alt+space does anything related to select/copy/paste.
Many people don't know how to cut and paste via the keyboard. The vast majority aren't even aware of Alt+Space. The only reason I use Alt+Space is to recover windows from off-screen areas.

> I'm 100% on board with fixing the deductability of engineering salaries.

It's already been fixed for US workers.

> I've been there, but just because you did things the "right" way and got rejected from one company doesn't mean you should throw away what worked. After all, they did interview you for a second role after the first one.

Several rejections by multiple groups. I'm pretty sure I won't get an interview from there for a while. I've not been interviewed by the same group for more than one position. Continually getting rejected and failing to achieve more than one interview per group is not what I call working.

> That said, especially in a tough labor market, finding a job is like dating, and the vibes matter a lot.

Thus, it makes perfect sense to just throw your resume at everything that moves. Vibes seem to matter more than fit. I interviewed at another place where one of the interviewers just had a week or two worth of tech experience. They were somehow a test lead. They couldn't answer a single question about testers interact with developers or how they test. I'm sure I was labeled as problematic because of my questioning even though I had zero knowledge of the lack of experience until after a few questions. The person they hired had zero experience outside of university classes. No internships. No personal projects. The position wasn't listed as a junior position.

> Technical people especially often don't want to think about the interpersonal factors, but they are a real part of the process.

It's the only aspect I've been thinking about for over a year. The "technical interview" is often a joke so I can't help but think they are using it as a hidden "vibe" interview.

Being deliberate hasn't helped me. Hell, I've learned quite a bit about this one company. In my last interview, I asked a question that surprised the interviewers. It was about something they had yet to start work on which came up in another interview for a different position which I had already been rejected for. They still rejected me. At this point, I'm guessing I'm black-balled.

Was the law repealed?
This sounds like sell the whole company type of cuts.
At this point, does this really affect many people? Most businesses should be well on their way to the expenses normalizing. Outside of new businesses and old businesses splurging, would this really accomplish much?

Serious question, is this a joke? I just see a black screen when I go to the site. I refreshed multiple times. Cleared cache. Just a black screen.
Sorry, but it does occur in the private. I recently worked at a company which pretty much did this. They fired all of the contractors and a bunch of employees because they decided change their focus. It is far from dying.

Why does that matter?

I don't know about anyone else, but I find reflect(T) much easier to type than ^^T. I have a high error rate on hitting 6. Not only that I have to move my hand from the home row to hit it.

I've seen Northrop Grumman job listings with Next.js experience listed.
> The AI thing is no different. If I ask my human friend, "please paint a picture using your vast knowledge and experience", then my friend gets the copyright. Replace friend with AI; there is no person to assign the copyright, so there is no copyright. It doesn't default to me just because I asked for it.

Why should an "AI" be considered a who rather than just another tool? To me, current "AI" are image manipulation program and camera replacements instead of people replacement.

The way local ISPs talk IPv6 is the expensive support item and don't bother with it. They both run CGNAT too.
> Why would I come into an office when I can just apply on a full-time remote position?

Because it's near impossible to get an interview at these places due to the number of applicants unless you have an in?

Or they just have different experiences than you do? For the positions I've been in, the drive into the office is just a waste of time. Most of the people are in different locations resulting in virtual meetings anyhow. Companies are realizing this and are going remote where they can because they find it difficult to find people locally or convince people to relocate. The "entitled" are just exercising their option to work places which better fit them.
> I also don't think "Many people would gladly pay for..." has been proven in the marketplace. If anything, the success of Ryanair, Easyjet and co has resoundingly proven that people will gladly suffer less spacious seating if it means paying less.

Given the number of 7 hour flights I could find, I really don't think that proves anything except maybe people will pay more.

>> If you don’t promote your work, no one else will.

> This has not been my experience. If you do interesting things then there are plenty of people who are willing to bring attention to it. I've been cold-emailed by journalists wanting to interview me without ever doing anything other than a) make my work publicly accessible and b) collaborate with like-minded people.

Both of those are promoting your work so it is your experience. Your experience just has been that you haven't had to put much work into promoting your work so it doesn't feel like promoting your work to you.

You have a typo in your ollama.service:

Environmetn="ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1"

The 't' and 'n' are transposed.
