You can't ignore the fact that once you get off the merry-go-round it becomes incredibly hard to get back on. There's something to be said for holding out for a job that fits with your skills, standard of living, and expectations.

I really get sick of how cavalier people like you are in these threads when talking about homeless/crazy/violent people on SF mass transportation. These people are sketchy as fuck and legitimate criminals in many cases and you

Yeah article doesn't show the third case, where cyclists consider it 'cutting them off' if you don't let them get to the intersection first - even when you're well ahead of them. I suspect what many complaining cycl

Ebay offered escrow services for years prior to purchasing and integrating PayPal. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was trying to figure out if you were doing the old "if only <such and such> existed" when it actually does

The most profitable company in the world doesn't need us to carry their water for them. Let Gruber take care of that. You're literally trying to defend Apple for using the term "magical" to refer to a pair of pedestrian

There's marketing copy, and then there's throw-up-a-little-in-your-mouth marketing copy. This is the latter.

Because it's all marketing bullshit. In fact that's a good indication that it's marketing bullshit - the fiction that the tip of the self-driving car spear will be consumer vehicles.

I know this just sounds like me being jaded and cynical but being completely open and honest: I feel like filmmaking lost me some time in the last 10 years or so. Might be because of age, I don't know, but I used to be a huge film buff

> It's entirely possible for a "publicity bubble" to cause all this. Possible, but also staggeringly unlikely. Occam's Razor suggests it's a shit place to interview, nothing more complicated necessary.

I really home recruiting at Amazon takes this comment to heart. They won't, because they're too busy milking the college newgrad pipieline and that looks fat and happy, but experienced engineers in general won't work or even

If you're not going to explain in your readme or docs why anyone should use this over the Gorilla library you're kind of wasting everyone's time. Gorilla/Mux is very widely used and well-supported.

What? No! There's no indication at all these two libraries are compatible - why would you want two completely disparate projects to give some indication they support the same interface?

You just said the US caused the sugar trade to collapse and then said Castro destroyed trade himself. Are you referring to trade besides sugar? Why WOULDNT Cuba decide (realize) that they need to protect themselves from the US?

Not on any significant scale no. And trying to make the 99% buy into something by making that exact claim ("not only rich people own stocks") has been thoroughly debunked as propaganda. Yes, you are correct, but only academically.
