I’ve done some consulting at quite a few bigcorps in the Houston area. The amount of outsourcing of IT generalist work that I’ve seen is downright scary. Regardless of political affiliation, this should be front and center for both parties.

This is a pretty big allegation, and though I work in the energy sector and have a working but limited knowledge of the way these markets work, it’s just not as simple as the article implies. As mentioned in the slate article, these are lik

What nonsense? I grab the photos I want and airdrop them. It is probably 99% easy as I could imagine it to be without a brain to iPhone interface.

You are absolutely right. Even 2 good books are a huge improvement, and reading quality should be the takeaway. I will even admit that my romance novels is a bit of a straw man, but I think what bothers me about articles like this is the am

My question is this- Would reading 200 books per year make you better off than whatever social media you read? I probably only read a handful of books every year, but I read hundreds if not thousands of HN linked articles. I think there is

Sure- but I think that there are differing incentives for regulators than Boeing management. The only situation I can think of that would hold them equally accountable is if there were collusion/corruption. I think in this case it was

The more I think about this, the more I think that the top levels of management and anyone who was just trying to "get this plane out the door" needs to be held accountable. Fear of competition shipping before you is no excuse to

Im not sure I will bring a phone with me if I travel abroad. I may get a burner flip phone or something, but no smartphone for sure.

Came here to make sure this point was made. The increased death of bicyclists, pedestrians is a pretty easy thing to measure. There are other things that are overlooked or at least not mentioned due to smartphone users driving- 1) increased

I’ve had the impossible whopper. It was fine. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. I also probably won’t buy it again because there isn’t really any reason to.

I wonder if folks recognize that all of this is internet only drama. I live in a diverse city of 5 million people, and I rarely to never come across someone who is so charged up over identity or race or political affiliations. Those .00001%

What I don't understand is how do things get this far down the road before a good old fashioned sanity check happens? I have got to think that Soft Bank knew/knows the valuation was off. The fact that they pushed on means they eit

You are dealing with the darkest depths of humanity to get these confessions. Sure as hell beats using torture and duress to extract this info. I’m not sure how someone would be able to convincingly lie about multiple murders if they were l

I don't think kids should vape. I don't think vaping is 100% harmless. I don't vape or smoke. I also think that there is some contingent of people who are excessively worried about vaping and looking for problems that don&#x2

This isn’t a hill I am trying to die on. And I would be happy to hear dissenting opinions. From my perspective, a contractor!= to an employee and there are trade offs associated with this difference. If you want benefits and more(again theo

by S_A_P 7y ago
Which again brings to mind the question- if you want those great benefits you could try to get hired as an employee. Or come on as a contractor and prove yourself to the company. If you are a contractor you are trading that for higher per h

Is there a good place to learn about what unionizing tech workers will do/is trying to accomplish? Also, isn’t being a contingent worker an implicit contract that you are willing to give up benefits and (in many cases theoretical) stab

Are you in the anti anti ad block business for research or for the cash? I wish that folks would instead focus on building better business models vs circumventing privacy/malware protection.

The panel gaps allow for greater energy absorption. :) seriously though, I am glad to see Tesla getting a few wins here as of late. Not a perfect company or CEO but they are doing a generally great job in my humble opinion.

Ive heard this from quite a few folks. I dont do a lot of ITB recording though, so that may be my problem. I mainly use my 2 SPs (SP-1200/Sp-16) for the jamming part along with keys/guitar/bass. By the time I fire up software

No- It seemed that when I would try to use arrangement view to string sessions together, they seemed disconnected from the session I was just editing. I basically just end up using Push to sample chop and then move what I find to other sof

I really tried to get into Ableton. I found a Push 2 at a pawn shop and while I can say that the push 2 controller is pretty damn amazing and turns Ableton into a pretty cool device, I can't get the arrangement to feel natural to me. I

You may be right there, and it’s annoying. But sometimes you just have to let someone “know better” than you. :)

Alternate viewpoint. Vinyl is for people born before CDs or digital music was a thing. So maybe hipsters jumped in for a good ol chunk of nostalgia. So? Broad stroke statements like "vinyl" sounds better are just as incorrect as &

Thats an interesting take... I have a mix of original and new pressings, and typically any re-release version Ive had has numerous flaws. Even those "180 gram audiophile pressings". Heres a short list: 1) skips in the track&#x2F

I was exposed to library music once I started frequenting www.whosampled.com and started noticing a lot of DeWolfe music was sampled. I immediately started buying up all the DeWolfe albums I could find. I mostly agree with the article here.

Looked up the model we have it it is a 30,000 BTU cooktop. Looks like the high end “home” cook tops will top out at 18000 btu. I bet the average home cook top is 10-15,000 btu. So I was a bit off, but it is definitely a much hotter stove. I

Commercial ranges get hot. Fast. In a big surface area. My father in law was a higher up at a major food company that sounds like a major network equipment manufacturer. He put a commercial kitchen in our barn. It has roughly double the wid
