I've found Goodreads incredibly useful for discovering books and keeping track of them. Def need to read between the lines with reviews, esp. if there is a polarizing topic like mentioned in the article (glorifying Russia with ongoing

I interviewed with reddit over 10 years ago and the company had less than 25 people working out of co-working spaces but still maintained uptime and managed to get by just fine. This was before they had advertising, no trust/safety tea

Okay, but race based admissions for college is bad and I'm glad its revoked.

If I wanna visit Canada, I can spend a few weeks/months in the places I wanna see (Quebec, BC, Alberta), work remotely for a US company and make 2-3x the money w/o spending half my income on taxes/insane rents.

Has anyone "read" national geographic in the past 20 years? My understanding is "smart" people put it on their coffee table when guests come over, like the new yorker

I'll be long retired before "ageism" even becomes close to a concern ;)

Exactly. I, personally, aim higher than the standard deviation and am compensated well for it. I would not give that up.

I don't think a union would prevent big tech legal teams from finding loopholes to circumvent said contract. They could use some entity in another nation or state that has more lax laws. And if the government wants Google or Meta'

This has to be a joke, like a union would earnestly evangelize privacy and data security practices. It would, no doubt, be captured by activists who care more about DEI and non technical pursuits, and bloat into a bureaucratic monster overn

hate the profession, but the money/benefits are good ... on most days, i'd rather be digging holes or raking leaves. a good day is no, or limited meetings, as little facetime as possible with sociopathic middle management and care

Have ran 1000s of miles in cougar country without ever even seeing one ... Way more afraid, and more likely to be hit by a motorist on the road or struck by lightning. Not saying ignore the dangers of wildlife, but its very unlikely.

Encouraging someone who needs exercise to exercise is almost always met with a dismissive attitude from my experience. They view it as thinly veiled insult. Might as well call them fat or lazy or dumb. People can be incredibly sensitive.

Anyone remember when MSN ran the Internet Gaming Zone site? It acted as a portal or login system for AoE, Asheron's Call, etc. It was HORRIBLE. Microsoft has gotten lucky with some IP like Halo and buying big studios out, but they simp

Grocery store generic beans are fine and cheap. Don't notice a difference between those and the ones that cost 2-3x. However, I'm no connoisseur. Just avoid ground coffee like the plague.
