I am part of "everyone" and did not get child tax credits (no children), student loan forgiveness (no student loans), student loan payment cancellation (again, no student loans), etc. Yes, please go on. Maybe there is some other

The real "market wage" was set prior to COVID - not during COVID with the tons of weekly unemployment checks handed out like candy. How can a small business owner even compete with the unlimited funding of the govt? Furthermore,

What kinds of free money were people making 6 figures getting? I know many 6-figure people, and none of them got any kind of "free money". In fact, just the opposite...

My anecdotal evidence: I needed to get a new AC unit for my house last year (summer 2021). I finally was able to get a reputable HVAC company to come and replace the unit. Talking with the owner, he told me (very frankly) he could not get

Awesome, thanks for this! I will reach out to Chris in the next few days. Do you know if he also does payroll taxes?

Just a thought, but why not connect with a few folks on the monthly HN Seeking Work thread? Look for someone close to your area of interest then get their feedback. Also, I suggest looking at folks outside your area of expertise as many t

Exactly. As I tell my son, the news organizations are no different than other vendors. They have a product to sell (fear, societal divide) and do their very best to continue selling it to the masses. And, astonishingly, people eat it up

Disclaimer: I worked for VCE (now Dell/EMC) VCE used Cisco C2xx and C4xx rackmount and BLxxx blade servers (before the EMC/Dell acquisition). Now, I believe they use all Dell hardware.

Agreed. And, I would like to add, the act of white boarding implies you standing in front of strangers trying to think on your feet. Some people are not as comfortable talking to an audience like that. Maybe a suggestion is for everyone

Sorry - not irrational nor toxic. I try to keep a very balance opinion on everything I read. I call BS when I see it. And, what is the simple pattern you are trying to prove? That a menstruation-tracking app will ultimately lead the govt

I did not buy into the crypto stuff at all. And, in turn, there are many pompous people on the internet constantly spreading FUD about how the republican party will wreck their lives. Hacker News is quickly becoming a very left-leaning Re

They can already get the data from all the other apps on your device (calendar appts, location tracking, other health apps). Why is this one particular type of app highlighted?

Agreed - especially the line about "never deliver bad news on a Friday". It makes the situation seem hopeless for the affected people since they (a) probably have tons of questions that won't have answers, and (b) have no wa

Yeah, to me this is the difficult one - someone on a temporary working visa. Unlike people who don't require visas and can can immediately start looking for work, (I understand) visas require sponsorship. This, in turn, can cause hug

Two against one does not seem like the most humane way to do it IMO. It's not about us-vs-them or 2-v-1. This is about liability and accountability - especially if the affected person is/can/will-be litigious. You would b

Because they are not oppressed and the system is not rigged against them (at least in the US). Each person has plenty of opportunity to do better. It's all about choice. You can choose to stay with your low-paying job or put some ef

The problem is choice. Once another choice is given, there is (almost) no way to go back.

I replaced our legacy PXE boot environment with Netboot, and it made a huge difference. The performance speed from tftp to http is night and day. Plus, you can compile a custom boot image to provide the exact boot environment you need.

Love Ventoy. Been using for a while now. Makes it very easy to boot a number of ISOs via simple USB drive. My go-to boot tool when doing system rescues.

Unless I am mistaken, workers can file a grievance with the US Dept of Labor or their state Attorney General office. Are you saying this is not true?

I honestly don't know why the initial reaction is *to have a union*. To me, this immediately puts you at a position of distrust with your employer. And, I simply don't understand all the HN hate toward management. I highly doub

Sorry, I don't get it. What issues do they hope to resolve or working conditions to get better by unionizing? Last time I went into our local Apple store here in Raleigh, the place was packed with workers that were friendly, responsi

Totally agree about keeping things simple. When [it] hits the fan on Sunday afternoon, you can probably root-cause the issue fairly quickly and get things running again. And, you don't have to wait for that *one guy* who went on vaca
