The advise here to think about what brings you joy and how to do more of that next is solid.

Short term, I think you have an another opportunity: to negotiate an exit with your manager.

Sounds like your in the age and comp range where the company has to be careful about how you’re removed. And you might be able to leverage that to negotiate an exit that satisfies everyone.

Setup a face to face with your boss and lay out the facts professionally. Then, ask for six months salary (or whatever you want) in exchange for resigning and releasing the company.

Obviously your specific requests will be up to what you want.

If you’re not a confrontational person by nature, consider this a wonderful real life learning opportunity to navigate and develop that skill. And hopefully get something that you want — even if it’s just a softer landing between roles.

And 9. The government frequently fudges key financial metrics regarding growth, GDP and key economic health indicators.

This is simply savvy maneuvering by apple.

Frequently these cases are appealed and new terms introduced to the judgement. Apple doesn’t want to give away any negotiating position until this is fully resolved.

That is certainly part of the answer. The other part is that the banker doesn’t have an option to directly invest the funds.

Banks are constrained in this regard. Money earmarked for lending cannot instead be invested by the bank.

It’s not gross.

It’s an approach to effectively price human capital in disparate markets.

By example, it’s unfair to expect workers in New York to work at the wages of workers in Des Moines.

Nothing new here.

Worker compensation in Corporate America has a cost of living adjustment (COLA) multiplier. It’s calculated as part of the salary base and takes into consideration the location of the worker, among other things, in adjusting up or down offered compensation.

Google is simply making this transparent to workers. Just because someone was hired in a high COLA multiple location doesn’t mean they’ll keep that multiple when they voluntarily relocate to a low COLA area.

This is standard HR practice across all of Fortune 500.

I think you need to shorten the copy a bit.

“Since we were coerced into supporting Apple’s sign on with our iOS app, we’re sandbagging them in return by not supporting their sign-on here.”

I think there’s more nuance here than you realize.

Some Americans are indeed of Jewish descent and could benefit from the right to return should they wish to.

But those people of Jewish descent pale in comparison to the non-Jewish Protestant Christians who also support Israel.

It’s interesting that so many Christians support Israel because for hundreds of years that wasn’t the case. Think the crusades and bograms around the world. Many Christians formerly embraced Replacement Theology, which basically says Christians replace the Jewish people’s in God’s eyes. This lead to all sorts of appalling behavior by Christians against Jews over the last two thousand years.

Many modern Protestant Christians instead believe the Jews have a legal and valid agreement with God. And that bringing harm to a Jewish person or their ancestral lands will be punished by God.

So, this is why many red state Christians support the state of Israel and the Jewish people.

TFA also includes Windows 10. It turns out that Windows 11 is slightly faster than 10 in many tests but both are slower than Ubuntu.

Maybe. Let’s say you can, for example, purchase a cruise missile strike in crypto. Once a few cruise missiles land in LA I imagine the world governments will take a more aggressive stance on crypto. Drone strikes and military intervention will follow.

The same way any other statue works. “No person shall convert, convey or tender in any currency not approved by the Department Of Treasury under penalty of …”.

Once violence on main street can be bought with crypto a ban will soon follow.

An excellent decision by the steering committee. After the python 2 to python 3 fiasco, it’s nice to see greater consideration given to sensible, deliberative advancement of the API.

Google fiber became available in my neighborhood (Austin Texas) in January this year. I signed up immediately and the installation occurred a week later.
