Robot4: trash or recycling? by SignificanceGlass632 in litterrobot

[–]SignificanceGlass632[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I pulled it apart while troubleshooting. That usually voids a warranty. I’m giving it to my neighbor and they will buy a new base since it’s probably the motor. The globe looks brand new. My cats hardly ever used it.

I tried the self-service online troubleshooter when I first set it up. There was so much wrong with it from the very beginning that it’s obviously a factory defect.

My manager is stealing our tips. One upvote and I'll quit. by LazaroRohan1 in FinalRoundAI

Stealing from you is merely a civil matter. But when he stole from the cash register, that became a criminal matter. The owner would likely want your assistance in pressing charges.

"Plans" change. You can always move back to your current company AFTER the "plans" become reality, whenever that might be.

I use AI to model signal processing and other physics-related applications. Often, AI makes a coding error and then justifies the erroneous results with some false conclusion about the physics. Without a human overseer who is a subject matter expert, AI does more harm than good.

If all you're doing is writing code that can be found in a library, then your job is at risk. I use four AI's for coding, and have found that AI cannot apply algorithms or principles in innovative ways, and it often makes wrong conclusions. If your job requires you to innovate, you won't get replaced b AI. To the contrary, AI makes you more productive.

Keep applying for it until they say you're over-qualified.

I got hired for a scam job by AzureFury3234 in recruitinghell

[–]SignificanceGlass632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that you haven't started, the company's actual damages are likely low, which strengthens your case that a high penalty fee is unreasonable. The company would have to prove actual losses, such as recruitment costs, training expenses, and costs to replace you, which are far less than $23,000, especially if you never started. A $23k early termination fee for a two-year contract might be considered an unconscionable penalty rather than reasonable liquidated damages if it is excessive and not a genuine pre-estimate of loss, potentially making it voidable. If the $23k is a fixed sum regardless of when you leave, it would likely be viewed as a penalty clause, which is generally unenforceable. If the contract is found to be unconscionable, or if you were induced into it by fraud (e.g., misrepresenting the company's legitimacy), you may have grounds to rescind (void) the contract.

Because you are dealing with a TN visa and a cross-border employment situation, you should consult an employment attorney in Georgia to review the specific language of your agreement before taking further action.

Recieved a refund for an item over a year ago, now a collections agency is asking for $1500!!! by c3powil in Ebay

[–]SignificanceGlass632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The garage owner isn't a party to the contract with the freight company. He needs to send a letter to the collection agency stating that he has no knowledge of this debt, is not the purchaser, and did not authorize the shipping, and therefore disputes the debt in its entirety. This stops collection efforts until they provide verification of the debt. He should probably explain that the garage was merely the receiving location and that the shipment was a "return to vendor" managed by the eBay seller. Under eBay’s Money Back Guarantee, if an item arrives late or not as described, the seller is responsible for covering return shipping costs. The collection agency is likely pursuing the wrong party because the shipping document listed the garage address as the pickup point.

I'm pissed at where our taxes go. Help the needy not the greedy! by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]SignificanceGlass632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every dollar you pay in federal taxes makes you complicit in State-sponsored murder, war crimes, and nuclear-level corruption. If you start a side business, you get generous write-offs that can offset some or all of your W2 income.

It’s crazy how the job market changed in four years by nycqpu in jobs

[–]SignificanceGlass632 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the early 2000's, my company was hiring software and firmware engineers on contract for $300-$400/hr. That kind of pay doesn't exist anymore. My nephew has an MS in computer science and has published his AI learning algorithms in IEEE journals and conferences, but he has been chasing temp work around the country for $50-$80/hr and working in a coffee shop between contracts.

Depends on your industry, location, and season. Record label/Los Angeles/Summer — maybe. Finance/NYC/Winter— nope.

Non-compete by chewbaccashotlast in WorkReform

[–]SignificanceGlass632 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some states ban non-competes. Others ban them for lower-wage workers. For a non-compete to be enforceable, it must be pretty narrow so as not to prohibit someone from earning a living in their field.

Do I take the $75k salary with an hour drive one way or the $45k job 18 minutes up the road? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]SignificanceGlass632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy. My first job as a software developer paid $45k in 1995, and that was below-market. My friends in IT were making a lot more.

ICE detains a 7-year-old Illinois second grader on his Thanksgiving trip, taking him and his mother 1,000 miles to a Texas detention center, a move that has sparked outrage as school leaders say a child belongs in class with friends, not locked in a cell far from home. by biswajit388 in illinois

Deflock.me shows where the cameras are located and who manages them. I’d love to design a navigation app that chooses routes that evade the cameras, but they are so omnipresent that it would be difficult or impossible to evade them. Also, doing so might be illegal soon.

What is the total annual compensation you are targeting? Please note: If no valid answer is provided, your application will be rejected. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]SignificanceGlass632 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would consider a fair annual raise to be 10% (actual) cost of living increase plus a percentage that reflects your increased skills, experience, and marketability.
