Nit: I believe Elvis was buried, and not that long ago, so the likelihood that enough of him has decayed into atmosphere for you to be breathing him at even 1 molecule per breath is very low. If you start with the same premise as your linke

In my personal case I did not job search during the time you mentioned because the job I had was super flexible and I had kids at home with no child care - I put off any hunting until school was back in person (and looked stable at that).

I too am very tired of home tests. Recently: * burned 2 days PTO putting together a comprehensive solution I was proud of. Feedback was they wanted me more proficient in their specific tech stack. I'd already said I was looking to lear

And if you see that and go "do they actually say the words 'big oh' when they speak that outloud..." you're interviewing as successfully as I do! I really appreciate your greater point. I've been given all sort

I have a close friend and colleague from Paris that I worked with in Philadelphia. She once told me that she attributes the American attitude of independence and self-reliance on the fact that we still can run into animals that will kill us

I encountered a lot of free roaming (possibly wild??) burros in Corsica, but did not see any pigs during a few week stay in summer 2008 or 09.

Depends on the needed resolution. You can cover a lot more earth, far more cheaply with a satellite with several meter wide pixels. When I used to work in remote sensing I remember that Bing Maps had a very distinct resolution transition fr

Maybe. But, I think it's more likely that the downstream revenue from car sales has changed dramatically, and they need to find clever ways to fix that. Historically, cars needed a ton of work and maintenance and dealers got significan

That all sounds great. I'm happy for you. Good luck!

I think this is a good solution, but I want to add a few disclaimers after watching my parents make a similar decision with my grandparents. My parents moved into my mom's childhood home with her parents, and renovated to build out a s

You're arguing that fish cause ocean currents? Are airplanes the source of wind?

That's simply not true. I've bought products from Wirecutter recommendations that simply link a clean merchant url - no affiliate link.

by Cd00d 5y ago
I don't understand the problem with affiliate links, esp in this case. Wirecutter's recommendations, budget pick, and also great items are often all through Amazon, which as the largest online retailer isn't suprising. It isn

I have their recommended coffee machine (OXO Barista Brain), and have loved it for over 3 years. I recommend it to everyone I know that likes drip coffee as much as I do. If you were so happy with a $30 Mr. Coffee, what even compelled you t

I don't understand this one - when are people taking a selfie at the same time they're typing in their pin? I have an android phone, and I don't even unlock to take pictures. I just don't follow the timeline and geometry

8 months after graduating college, I realized I missed solving physics problems. I drove to the nearest university, walked into the physics department office, and asked to speak to the chair. The chair was busy, but the vice-chair was more

I think parent asked for subsidy, not total compensation of expenses. I have two kids, 2.5 years apart, and there was one year in NYC where a small family daycare was running us ~$5k per month in childcare. We'd been aiming for the kid

I'm sorry, but this is an unnecessary and negative comment. I don't know why you made it. Of course a professional will accomplish tasks faster than a DIY'er checking YouTube. But, as OP says, there's savings AND perso

My experience in ex-Soviet bloc countries is the opposite. Unmaintained sidewalks, parked cars blocking safe walking access, unsafe driving behavior/routing near pedestrians. I often think of a time in Sofia, Bulgaria where I saw an el

Zillow doesn't have experience or data in the real estate market? But, investors traditionally tied to securities do? One seems like an entrenched data-hoarder. The other seems like a "we're smart enough to pivot into this&qu

I found the idea of this promising, but the first link I followed took me to an Amazon page to buy a book. I feel like that's directly taking me out of the useful internet experience, as I was expecting content on the topic.

>not a lawyer! just a guy using words he has heard! Thank you for your honesty and self-awareness. This framing also amused me.

My default (very good insurance) ER bill is $500 for checking in - I could change my mind and walk out 5 minutes after the intake form and still be responsible for that amount. You have some outlier coverage if your story is factual.

At the same time, I see mostly listings for director of data science or vp analytics at a ton of small businesses or startups that require a PhD and 5 extra years experience offering a cap of $80k.

I've worked in places that do pay unused PTO and places that don't - all in the same state. My experience is paying it out is less common.

Thank you for sharing. It seems that we used to call prison "paying your debt to society", but now we as a society charge interest on that debt to insure it's never paid off. We're loan-sharking people's past mistak
