To those that care, it is well past that point.

I'm not sure if the remaining people will care even if Facebook put a dollar amount on your profile to show you how much money they made off of you in the last 7 days.

I did this a year or so ago. I knew it was complete when I got an email from Paypal saying my Facebook account was unlinked. Funny thing...I don't remember linking my Paypal account.

I'm going to guess an ongoing pandemic might have delayed it just a bit

If you are generally curious about why this is something that is required, I suggest "Trigger Warning with Killer Mike" on Netflix. Specifically the first episode which deals with Mike trying to get to a concert only using black products and services.

Long story short: The average lifespan of the dollar is approximately 28 days in Asian communities, 19 days in Jewish communities, 17 days in white communities — and just six hours in Black communities. Meaning after that time, that dollar has to go into another community for a product or service.

How about if you've already gotten covid, and are eligible to go get vaccinated, go get vaccinated.

You would be the first person that I've heard say hey I already got it, therefore I'm not getting vaccinated.

Even if you've gotten covid, go get vaccinated

Still haven't gotten vaccinated and need to know where to go?

This movie better be directed by Robert Rodriguez when this ends up going straight to Shudder for release

I'll save you some trouble. This lost all credibility when 3/4 of the way down the poster starts talking about how the 2020 election was stolen.

> You think this will be corrected by market forces when it is a financial and political pincher movement pushed by the same cabal that stole the 2020 election & hid COVID Truth?

Most of our division doesn't want to go back. We put together a group to survey all teams and start planning for a post-covid workplace. For tax purposes we have to be in office 20% of the time, which sucks, but better than 100% of the time in office I guess.

Or you can look to see that it is scheduled for the afternoon so you deliver in the morning.

You don't even have to say bombs, the article lists a great example. They are tracking protests. I think I would like to be aware if where I normally deliver mail I'm walking into a protest that might get violent.

> Under what conditions are you allowed to use it and it not be abuse?

If your plan wasn't to return it from the start, then it isn't abuse. This seems pretty simple. In your original example your "friend" was planning on using GPUs to test and then return them. At no point was he planning on keeping this purchase.

Now, I will say if you're friend bought 3 GPU's with the plan to keep one and returned two I would say that's not abuse, but there are certainly better ways to try before you buy.

No, that isn't the point of that at all. 10% isn't so you can use a card and then give it back. 10% is so the staff can package it up, send it back to the manufacturer so they can resell it. Or so they can mark it as "refurbished" and recoup some of the lost value of a new card.

Yes? That is abusing the policy. Sounds like he was trying to start a business and wanted to do QA. Then you need to pay for that.

This is clearly unethical, but maybe not illegal.

Ah, no wonder they decided they didn't want to pay their bill for vaccines anymore.

Interesting. Last time something like this happened, that I remember, was about a decade ago in Egypt. The government demanded the internet be turned off during a civil war.

Right, it is understandable that a large company would want you to get going quickly. But yeah, without investing in code quality tools, or something to keep code bases similar, it won't be a fast transition.

I work in a secure facility, when not WFH due to the pandemic. Each jack is numbered, and my computer is tied to that number. If I plug into another jack, I won't connect. I have to get IT to move it for me because it requires them to make some changes to switches. We're not union, but have the same rules.

It feels like you're trying to blame the union for pretty standard practices at established companies.

Why do you have to come at me like this? This is a feeling I go through all the time. It's partly imposter syndrome, but partly that you're probably holding yourself to a higher standard than others.

> I'd been assigned a medium complexity task

Who decided that it was medium? A manger? Some lead? You? You can't really compare what is easy and what is hard when it comes to software. I worked on a project that timelines started to slide when I came on board. Not because I didn't know what I was doing, I had just moved from one project to another. It was because the manager didn't account for the time it would take for me to learn the code base. He assumed that developers were cogs in a machine that can be replaced with no downtime. That doesn't work.

> I've realized I'm not a senior software engineer as I thought and now I don't know what to do next.

There are two pieces of advice I can give you here;

1. Nobody else knows what they're doing either. We're all making it up.

2. You're going to fail at something, a lot, before you get good at it. Go dunk a basketball and get back to me if you think you should just coach(manage) because you couldn't dunk

>A third option would be to take a break from work and try to learn to write good code

You're already at a place paying you to write code. Why take a break to do it for free?
