This is missing at least 9bn of Tesla subsidies. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-embraces-trump-scorns-subsidies-tesla-still-lobbies-us-benefits-2024-08-12/

Tesla’s first major manufacturing facility, in Fremont, California, was developed with the help of a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, repaid three years later. More recently, Tesla has reaped almost $9 billion since 2018 by selling what are known as “regulatory credits” securities filings show.

The boring company also depend on us government contracts.

Ok, but could you take him instead?

He probably won’t be able to do as much damage if he’s out the country.

I mean it’s important to distinguish between actual scientific tests and random managerial bullshit and wasting a day on “training”.

The scientific test, assuming this is real science, and not more random crap found on a website, will just be based on observation. People with autism tend describe individual pictures while neurotypicals tend to impose a narrative on the whole collection.

There’s no good or bad here, they’re different ways of describing the world. You don’t win if you’re more autistic or neurotypical or whatever.

On the other hand training days like you’re describing are always a complete waste of time. The aim is to turn up, do the minimal amount of engagement to make it look like you’re a team player, and then just try to fit in with everyone else. There’s is no point in wasting time thinking about course materials. The guy who wrote them was just bullshiting.

If it makes you feel better, if it was actually sunrise on summer solstice at Stonehenge, there would have probably been people in the pictures. I’ve heard it gets busy.

Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.

Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.

They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.

But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.

This is super serious voting strategy you guys.

For part of a previous job I had to meet a bunch of people from GCHQ regularly.

Most of them were super friendly, but very obviously out at extremes of the spectrum. They were the kinds of people that other mathematicians would notice as being a bit odd.

It’s not really legal in the UK. It’s unenforceable on claims under 5k and for claims over 5k the courts will make a case by case decision if arbitration is appropriate.

However, lots of companies still add these bullshit clauses as a way to bully people out of seeing a lawyer.

There’s a huge statue of this outside the British library.

It’s probably easiest to ignore what lib Dems say because they’re don’t have to put out a coherent policy platform, because no one expects them to be in power.

Instead look at the seats they want to win. Their plan has always been to mop up Tory votes in places that can’t bring themselves to vote labour.

It puts them firmly in the middle between the torries and labour. It’s also why e.g. they played down rejoining the EU at the last election. It might be their official stance, but it doesn’t play well in the rural Tory seats they’re targeting.

Both. It’s satire.

The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.

Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?

And all the doom games.

In theory. It’s just standard contract law. You violate the contract, so you have to make the other party right.

In practice, the court is likely to go, “You should’ve hired someone else to do the work. No costs”

No, not at all.

If the company fire you they have to pay you, e.g., three months notice, regardless of if they want you to do the work or not.

If you quit without notice, you might have to pay the costs incurred by you quitting early, but that’s not your salary -because they now wouldn’t be paying you.

Costs might be something like the company having to refuse an order because they now don’t have enough people to do the work, or the increased cost of an expedited hiring process.

I don’t know how common costs are in France, but the UK has the same rules and essentially no one ever claims costs. You need to really fuck over your employee in a very explicit and well documented way for this to even be considered.

The main disadvantage is you will have a bad reference if you leave without notice.
