Sample size of 1, but my gf blames forced overtime. Being legally obliged to stay for an 8 hours shift after finishing one has a way to drive you to depression.

It's unfortunate to see this downvoted because I've heard this sentiment echo'ed a lot and I think it's worth explaining. It's not about the illegality, it's really just about people dying. Yes you can go on a

I doubt that it's as simple as that. Nurses are also leaving in Canada and we don't have insurance breathing down their neck.

The article is pretty clear that "analysts" don't think Mexico has the capability to develop lithium production at scale in a near time frame and therefore it would be a populist move. I'm all for nationalising resources

If you standard for successful moonshot entrepreneurs is "no failures", it's probably hard to find any. Risky businesses are risky.

It's an interesting take, I wonder if the argument hinges on USB-C not having market penetration everywhere. For example I (Canada not Brazil) have mostly USB-A wall chargers, with only one USB-C charger that came with my phone. If App

Nitpick but CODA barely counts as original content. It's an American remake of a very popular French movie "La Famille Bélier". The producers were even involved with both film.

In a sense you are both right, you just don't set the threshold at the same place. The bank will look at how much you earn and how much you owe and say "We can pre-approve you for $X at Y%". They consider that you can pay tha

You would still have access to your accounts as the credentials are hosted by BitWarden or by yourself (on a personal server for example).

Your bitwarden password manager is hosted and is only stored encrypted on your phone/laptop. So unless the thief knows your master password you should be fine.

I am not the person you are responding to, but the two are not mutually exclusive. You can still answer your messages and not miss meetings. For example: - 8h30AM start working, until 10AM, mostly focused work. - Take 5 minutes to start the

For all but some very egregious cases this will not be enforced. AWS lost a bunch of VP-level execs and they went to work at Microsoft... If they didn't use it against them they won't use it against anyone.

Disregarding the misleading headline, it is overall a tough problem to define if and how to tax wealth. Most people would agree that applying a blanket tax on unrealized gains is problematic (since it would force you to sell to pay for gain

I am very much the same on that part, it's hard to do great work when you are emotionally all over the place.

Honestly from the description you give, I wouldn't assign blame but it was probably the right call to break it off. 6 hours arguments that need to happen right now are a pretty big red flag...

So what's the solution to shield my money from this insane level of inflation? Is there something I can do?

by belval 5y ago
It's a process that will take 50-100 years+. Like it or not there is no real incentive for people to stop living like they currently do. All you can do is tax fuel/carbon and stop adding car lanes to make people converge closer to

Probably because there is an upper limit to how much grocery you can haul back to your house on foot/bus. It's a completely different lifestyle. Living in downtown Vancouver, I would go to the grocery store every 1-2 days to get f

Just so you don't get angry for no reason: the actual policy says nothing about a specific age. You could be 60 and use it to buy a house. It also doesn't have to be your first one. If you had a house than sold it and lived in an

A lot of companies have that weird part of the onboarding where it sounds like you joined a cult. From what you described nothing is super off-mark here. After some time you'll see if it's the actual internal culture or just the o
