isn't it of a bad KPI that's destroying business? for KLOC committed and sick leave for example, isn't it suppose to be "KLOC per active days" that fix the issue?

I'm managing a software engineering team for a medium size startup (400 engineers) and one common question is about the source income restriction of H1B employees. One example is that O'Reilly reached out to one engineer on a book deal, and it seems to be impossible to proceed considering he's on H1B. Any angle to work around it?

Good question. Separate income streams are complicated. A concurrent part-time H-1B is sometimes an option for other employment. The problem with this specific situation is that a concurrent part-time H-1B would have to be structured, at least in part, as paid employment.

So... no more free iced tea for a 5 star review?

still like the new internet to be honest.

a piece of meal is normally the case of adsense. the problem i guess is either flat fee (which would break the bank in Google's local account) or big overhead fee (e-invoicing, regulatory auditing, etc)

exactly. like how else they'll get the money? do you the random people donate?

Obviously a bake sale and all the members of the think tank have to work gig economy jobs in-between research, writing and speeches just to keep the lights on in a dinky little conference room of the sub-sub-sub basement of the Pentagon they rent out.

Perks of the job mainly consist of being able to sporadically say “Gentlemen. You can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!” and having critics in the mainstream media that hate your guts and will—uncompensated!—drop your name on a frequent basis and imply you are much much much more important and influential than you actually are.

It actually sucks to be blocked from starting your own business with your own skill learned or sharpened during prior employment...

I agree, but I suspect that if there was significant cost attached companies would only use non-competes in very rare cases.

Tried a couple terms mentioned in the document w/ Bing GPT chat, and it gives really good answer, almost identical to this web page.

I remember a while ago American shows and movies joked about Indian customer support, as they "lower the standard of customer service". Now here the same to AI "lower the standard of subtitle". The quality is not appreciated which is why the offering are lower the bar for quality constantly. Or they'll be out competed.

The sad thing is, AI could be used in a clever way - have AI do the large amount of leg work in transcription, and have a human refine that.

Maybe. But at least today my experience is that AI podcast transcription with good audio is off enough that I only use it to check quotes or pick out short excerpts. If I'm going to publish a full transcription, I'll just have a human do it. Not clear to me if it's faster for someone who does that sort of thing to be making a lot of corrections as opposed to just transcribing--though it will get there.

No. The politicians benefit from the majority of people hating who acted, and punish those were lucky enough to have the talent to use money more efficient, and in turn the common wellness dropped because of the overall efficiency dropped.
