It likely is under that threshold.

Also it doesn't matter. Cloud vs vps/colo/rented bare metal basically comes down to surplus of cash vs surplus of tech talent.

Any small tech focused company is gonna have more of the latter then the former, and in that situation, cloud doesn't make sense when ansible, k8s, and the like exists.

What? I'm not talking about evacuating people...

I'm talking about not forcing them to come in to work for a 3rd shift overnight run that can most definitely be delayed by a shift for a weather pattern known to create high numbers of tornadoes.

> Unless it’s an actual tornado warning, it’s business as usual.

Thats the problem.

>The employees are no safer at home than at work.

I think that should be up to the employees to decide, not their manager, and sure as hell not you.

They had 2 days of warning, not 2.5 hours.

>should we have told everyone at least in the "ENH" area (covering major portions of 6 states) to stay home and in their basement for the whole night?

Yes.

They had 2 days of warning. Not 2.5 hours.

They had 2 days notice, not 20 minutes.

Playing fast and loose here with warning definitions.

They had 2 days warning. not 20 minutes.

They had 2 days of warning that friday night was gonna bring a fuck ton of tornadoes because thats how obvious the weather pattern was.

You're playing fast and loose with risk definitions, and arguing that until loss of life was guaranteed the employer had no responsibility to not force employees to risk their life.

The entire region knew this was gonna be a bad storm in advance. Bosses and managers choose deadlines over human safety. They should be held criminally liable for that choice.

"We can't save human lives by not forcing them to come into work at the threat of firing and loss of livelihood because we might accidentally save a life that wasn't in danger if we let employees make that risk assessment for themselves by giving them the option to choose."

As far as the manager knows its none of their fucking business because the employee should be the one who makes that call about their personal safety, not their manager, and said employee can't freely make that call if they face reprisal or loss of promotion for doing so.

The houses have basements, the factory floors do not.

The house does not need to survive for the humans in it to be safer then if they were in a sheet metal box with no basement.

>Yes, they knew the risk was there, but when these warnings are hundreds of miles across and tornadoes are essentially razor blades going across this warning zone, are you supposed to just stop everything?

Yes.

OR! at the least! not force your employees to come in at the threat of firing if they don't.

Let them have the freedom to choose their own personal risk factor.

I guarantee thats what they did, but i'm not talking about there.

There was no need to have your workers working during a predicted massive tornado storm.

>Having your employees stay home doesn't help at all. Many of them will be living in the same danger zone, and in fact many will be living in buildings that are less capable of withstanding a tornado.

Single floor factory building built on a concrete slab vs house with a basement.

You really think the factory will win in terms of human safety?

Oh, but of course, thats the whole point of weaseling around the term 'withstanding a tornado'.

I'm sure the factory building will withstand it better, in terms of how much of it will be remaining in the after math, but I'm also sure that the house with a basement is gonna be safer for the humans.

Do you really think this was unknown until the tornado sirens sounded?

Every news station in the region was warning of this storm, but i guess if you look it from a capitalist prospective why take the risk that you accidentally needlessly save a human life at the expense of some profits by canceling the unneeded 3 AM FUCKING MIDNIGHT SHIFT, when you can count on people on hacker news to justify the human cost of your business.

This was so obviously going to be a troublesome weather day that the local tv stations had canceled previously scheduled scheduling for the day after and replaced it with news.

Everybody knew some shit was gonna go down.

At the very least giving your employees the option of staying home without fear of reprisal is minimum necessary for a clear conscience.

I saw amazon was hit in this storm, knowing somebody who got fired for calling out because a tree blocked the only road out of their area, I guarantee there were people who only showed up because they feared being fired and they wanted to stay home during this but couldn't.

Companies need to answer for those lives.

> You can only take so many precautions when tornadoes are in the neighborhood, because although the devastation where one touches down is severe, the area is limited and the path is unpredictable.

One of those precautions is to not make your employees come in to work.

> That's their choice.

This is a hacker news post, not a lawsuit.

Nobody is arguing that they don't have a choice or the legal right to do this, calm down man.

We are arguing they are a fucking asshole for doing so.

You can have a legal right to do something, and still be a fucking asshole for doing it.

Doesn't make it right.

Talking in all caps or using sarcasm on the forums means they can delete your email account.

Maybe try reading the post and understanding the argument instead of attacking a strawman argument nobody was making.

So a screening system that only allows devs with your writing style in is valid why?

I'm just like them, only my ide is notepad++.

My code never compiles on first attempt, and never runs correctly on the first attempt.

A real job is one where a boss can arbitrarily fire you so that you learn to respect your elders and anybody who doesn't have a real job is bypassing the critical societal conditioning step and should be shamed.

-some old fucks. probably

I can't use source graph to search a public repo I work on without granting them read access to every private repo I have. Attempting to deny just that permission causes it to error out.

So I'll summarize that no, you can not do that on source graph, given that doing so would require everybody violating their ndas.

On another note,

While I get that you don't see how more income leads to more ability to job hunt for a better job, I would like to ask why you think it is that when people got stimulus checks they started leaving their current wage slave job for better ones in droves?

There is still a labor shortage, where did you think it came from? Unemployment benefits don't apply to people who quit, or were fired for cause, and for most people out of work from the pandemic days, they are fully exhausted, and have been since the first week of sept when the federal """handout""" ended. Nobody who didn't lose their job this calendar year still has employment benefits. Yet there is still a labor shortage for bottom rung jobs?

Its almost like a bunch of people now having the means to eat the cost of job hopping did their job hopping and are working better jobs.

Now lets look at about why that might be...

>Surely at least you can send out some applications from your phone on your daily 2 hour commute to work.

Doesn't matter if you can't afford to take the job.

This is what people who haven't been poor recently don't understand...

If you can not afford to have your first paycheck delayed by a week to 3 weeks without either running out of gas or bus money to get to work(!), or ending up past the final date (!!) on a utility bill or rent bill, why would you waste your time applying to jobs?

Calling setting min wage to be enough that you can have a savings account and have the financial freedom to move jobs "socialism" is premium intellectual dishonesty.

If the min wage is socialism then call me a socialist because thats not an argument you'll win with here

> You can go work for a company that permits discussion of salaries?

Its illegal for the company to prevent you, but that doesn't help any employee who doesn't know this fact.

Also, that is kinda the whole point of the anti-work movement, to stop working for companies that abuse you.

>And if no such company exists, you can start one.

I think you have an imperfect view of the situation given you likely work somewhere that pays you enough you have spare money left over to save up a rainy day fund. This movement isn't for you, and you should step out of the way.

Min wage workers don't have a rainy day fund, they don't have any money left over to put into a savings account, they can't even handle missing a single day of work without one of their bills being paid late, all while working a class of jobs that rarely has paid sick time, almost never has vacation, and no union to keep you from being fired for arbitrary or made up reasons.

How da fuck do you expect them to start a company? Its hard enough for them to handle the expense of changing jobs just from the one or two extra days between paychecks because they pay out on a different day.

People don't want to break free of regulators, they want to break free of visa and mastercard playing moral judge on who you can send money too.

yes they do, in the very first few paragraphs.

>When evaluating a SaaS, I often just skip the landing page and all of its marketing fancy words and go straight to Pricing page.

>Usually, I will find what I need there: what features does the SaaS has, and how much do I have to pay to get what features.

>For that reason, I added GIFs to every single feature of my SaaS pricing page:

They just didn't spell out the connection between the two premises, that because they tend to ignore the demo/about/landingpages, and jump straight to the pricing page, other people likely do so as well, and you should turn said pricing page into your demo page/landing page to target such people with that info since they won't get it from the normal page thats dedicated to conveying that info.

No.

Like, i get that they are the same in effect, but I still believe in the semantics different between a moving picture, and a audio-track-less video.

A gif can never have audio.

A img tag can never have audio.

mp4s, m4as, webm, embeds tags, video tags, etc, can either have or not have audio, its a surprise.

Because they are videos, not moving/animated pictures.

Anywho, apng is a real standard now, so one can just use that instead of gifs.
