I agree that Jobs should disclose pay upfront before anyone wastes any time. However, quite often pay does not hit the level necessary for me to move from my current role. It is then up to the employer to decide if they want to make the offer better to have me move.

I hold no opinion on whether this is fair is not. Another applicant who is single, low mortgage may end up with more disposable income for less pay and subjectively be "better off" and effectively undercut me and my dependents that I support.

No system is fair. My only personal opinion is that any employee should be able to have representation in employment negotiations. That does not mean just unions, although they work for some, rather they could be a family member or a paid agent.

Mine works around a bad design decision in my gate’s GSM intercom and stops endless missed deliveries.

The intercom does ring-around: a visitor presses the button, it calls the first number on its list (my mobile), and if nobody answers it tries the next (my wife's mobile). Except it counts voicemail as an answer. If the first phone goes to voicemail, the intercom decides the job is done and numbers two and three never ring. So the list is effectively one number long if my phone has no reception. I assume nobody tested it against a phone that was switched off or travelling on the London tube.

I gave up on the chain calling in a the first week of several failed delivery attempts. Now an ESP32 and a SIM7600 sit first on the list instead. The modem picks up after 3 seconds, sends a # DTMF tone (the intercom’s open command), hangs up, and texts me that someone came in.

Since this is a mass used car security gate it is a weak security control and more to hinder casual drivers parking where they are not supposed to - and now I get my packages too :P

When approving actions "for this project" I actively monitor .claude\settings.local.json

as

"Bash(az resource:)",

is much more permissive than

"Bash(az resource show:)",

It mostly gets it right but I instantly fix the file with the "readonly" version when it gets it too open.

It would be interesting to learn in time what this means for the durability of the display. Do the vibrations induce stresses that increase component failure?

Also how differing parts of the screen can generate different sound sources to create a sound scape tailored for the person in front of the screen (eg laptop user)?

Interesting tech to watch!

OT: Is there an accessible ground up presentations on Quantum so that I can self up skill?

I’m thinking of something like the equivalent Zero to Hero by Andrej Karpathy for AI.

is that a purchasable product? link? Thank you in advance!

Discussing this with some friends last night there was some consensus that sometimes this may be to force a significant cut in the workforce that is cheaper to do by firing due for cause, as compared to making roles redundant and dealing with redundancy packages. Probably not true in all cases, but maybe in some.

For my education, would you be able to expand on what it doesn't work for and why? Thank you!

It's one bad thing to sync all one's email to the their cloud. It's another bad thing to give the cloud the credentials to sync one's email directly. So in theory even if you stop using the client they can still get your email without your knowledge and explicit permission (ie you are not using the client and would reasonably expect they don't have access to new emails).

Also the cloud service now have the capability to save then retrieve the credentials in plain text making them a rich target for being compromised.

I agree there is a development path to learning to read. My son is learning and during the phase of learning the phonics he would use the pictures a lot to help get context. You could tell because he would pause on each new page as he observed the graphics.

But as he became more proficient he started using the graphics as a crutch to guess the words rather than sound them out and blend them. So I started covering the pictures with my hand as I turned the pages and his progress jumped ahead in the following weeks.

He is still learning and falls into guessing patterns too easily. However through accompanied parent reading every night he is progressing well (IMO).

I only trigger video on my property boundary to avoid the street and protect the public's reasonable right to privacy. There will always be the risk of coincidental videoing when someone is on my property - but I try my best to respect my neighbours.

I agree with the sentiment. Technically I only trigger video on my property boundary to avoid the street and protect the public's reasonable right to privacy.

My personal trust of devices like this is low - and since it is capturing public side recordings (outside my front door) I'm less worried about the vidoes. I just prefer to treat them as untrusted devices and put them on my guest network isolated from the rest of my network.

I think I agree with your intent - the comparison of Big tech is government didn't gel with my perception.

What I agree with is that Big Tech is forming digital Public Spaces (rather than being a government) and as such there should be parity in rights and protections of being in a digital Public Space.

The distinction for me is that ones rights in a Public Space are different to those in a Commercial Communal Space (such as communal space in a Shopping Mall). I'd like to see a trend to open digital environments being treated as Public Spaces and away from Commercial Communal Space.
