Leave without notice and start working the next day at your new job: Result: Guaranteed no lost income
Leave with two weeks notice: Result #1: Company fires you on the spot, walks you out and you lose two weeks of income Result #2: Company keeps you on the payroll the two weeks, no loss of pay
All the risk is yours when you give two weeks notice, you give all the options to the company. When the shoe is on the other foot it is pretty much guaranteed that the company won't give you two weeks notice that they are going to let you go and few will pay you two weeks even though they'll walk you out right after telling you that you are fired.
My suggestion is spend a day or two putting together a transition folder, hand it in on the day you quit and wish them the best. Tell them that for security reasons you can't provide two weeks notice.
"For example, hacking is much more prevalent now than it was even nine years ago, and the rise of computer hacking viathe Internet has changed the public's reasonable expectations of privacy."
Perhaps the courts should rule that due to the prevalence of burglaries we no longer enjoy an expectation of privacy in our homes as well.
If the courts want to understand what people's expectations of privacy are they should merely ask. I r
Selling 128GB flash drives for $20 more than 32GB flash drives isn't nearly as profitable as selling 128GB flash drive cases for $70 more than 32GB flash drive cases.
They don't block cell phone signals, the founder of Yonder is quoted as saying:
"They have the phone in their pocket, but it's locked so if the phone vibrates they can step outside to text or call," Dugoni tells us.
I suppose if the ban is just on cellphones you are free to use an iPod touch or other non-phone device, possibly tethered to your bagged phone. Or an Apple watch could be used to text. Or more likely if you start waving any shiny rectangular object above your head security is just going to toss you out without concern whether it is a phone or a cigarette case.,
"Dugoni says the pouch serves two purposes. The artist can try out new material without worrying about it being leaked."
It won't stop people from secretly recording and leaking songs. There are plenty of available recording devices that can be easily concealed and a neoprene pouch can be easily cut or the unlocking mechanism compromised. But as a device for raising awareness that the artist doesn't care for people waving phones around, it probably does a fine job.
"Norway’s initiative looks like it could be the first made into law and would only allow zero-emission vehicles to be sold in the country starting in less than a decade."
When someone is anxious about being able to drive 50 miles with 75 miles of range they are the problem, not the range of the vehicle.
Range anxiety is something that can be overcome with education and experience. I routinely drive 70 miles R/T in a vehicle rated for 83 miles of range in conditions that are not ideal (up substantial hills, heavy winds, high temperatures) but experience has taught me that the drive is never a problem and if there really was some issue there are a dozen places along the way where I could (but never have) stop for 5-30 minutes to get enough charge to get the rest of the way home.
Going to PlugShare and learning that there are multiple locations where a charge could be gotten along the way if something "goes wrong" is a start. Most roadside assistance services have the ability to deal with an EV with a dead battery as well. There are a lot of things that can go wrong on a drive, usually it involves something other than running out of juice, somehow people manage to overcome their fears of those things that could go wrong and are able to hop in a gas car and go places.
Movie theaters have more than one level of lights. Lights all the way up after the movie and before the previews but they are often showing ads on the screen, they dim them during the previews as people are still entering the theater, then the lights are turned all the way down for the movie.
There should be no expectation that people won't be walking in front of you, commenting on the upcoming features being shown or generally doing what people do before other similar group experiences (opera, plays,...) which is chit chat, greet people, shuffle around, etc until the main event starts.
It's been quite some time since just men wrote the laws.
Women are always at risk, as are men. They aren't at risk because of non-discrimination. Every woman (and man) is perfectly free to reject male Uber drivers and male baristas. The law does not require you to get in an Uber with a male driver or a white Uber driver or an Indian Uber driver, you are free to practice discrimination in who provides your services.
The world isn't risk free. Using your fears as an excuse to discriminate is wrong.
Tivo doesn't promise lifetime service, they offer service for a flat fee for the lifetime of your hardware with the lifetime of your hardware being how long your hardware continues to work. When it breaks, your lifetime service ends.
What Nest/Google is saying is that the lifetime service ends whenever they decide, nothing to do with whether your hardware is still working. That's not service for the lifetime of your hardware, that's service for however long Nest/Google wants.
Lifetime service means the lifetime of the service?
I'd wish a company good luck arguing that circular meaning in court. Free service as long as we offer it isn't lifetime service.
Lifetime service for the lifetime of the hardware was what XM offered, pay a fee for lifetime service with lifetime defined clearly as however long your device lasts. If it breaks, your lifetime service expires.
The moral of the story is if your device won't operate standalone and requires someone else's server to operate then you are at risk either of having your device rendered useless or being turned into an expensive dumb device.
DropCams would be on that list, I wouldn't buy one specifically because they deliberately tie them to their server. At some point every current DropCam is going to be bricked. In a throwaway society where technology is rapidly advancing that might be acceptable to a lot of people. Other people aren't going to be interested in being on a 5 year replacement cycle for all their smart devices.
" I do a 500 mile road trip a couple times a year to see my family and it takes between 7-8 hours in a gas car."
Avis/Hertz has the solution for your twice a year problem and it will likely cost you less to rent than to rack up miles on your personal car for those long trips.
What you see as a problem with a Model 3 is really not a problem at all. Or, for that matter, a problem with an EV with even shorter range. In California you can but a Spark EV for $500 out the door and lease payments of $100/mo and potentially get $2500 back from the State of California. Net cost for 3 years of leasing about $1500. I have one, it charges at home, it is a fantastic little car that suits 95% of my driving needs and for the other 5% a 3 mile drive to my nearest Avis outlet gets me a car that takes care of the other 5% for around $35/day.
I have a deposit for a Model 3, it will meet 100% of my driving needs but I'll probably still rent from Avis for 800 mile weekend trips.

Someone who has a 50 miles R/T commute in a vehicle with a 75 mile range doesn't have a range issue that is real or significant.
Yes, home charging is slow.
I have no idea how we'll manage to find the 8 hours to charge a car at home.
As for road trips, maybe someone should invent a company that rents gas vehicles.
I'm waiting on buying a gas vehicle until it can travel across the ocean.

Leasing an EV results in the leasing company getting the $7500 tax credit and rolling most/all of that $7500 into the lease.
