This is honestly what I'm most fearful of when it comes to covid. Even if you end up being non-symptomatic the potential for permanent brain damage or chronic blood clots is very concerning. Some may take issue with this stance, but p

I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. This reeks of fake inflated / manipulated Chinese currency / gov't backed debt.

Wow, this "article" could've been condensed down into maybe four sentences? Can we laugh at that?

This has also been a problem with a number of ZipCar locations in Boston. I've actually come across ZipCars that have likely never been used because they're placed in underground garages with no cell reception.

This is getting down-voted but honestly I agree. Silence is a professional courtesy when it comes to certain ideas. For instance, I don't talk about how I find certain parts of 4chan incredibly hilarious. As a black man, I'd de

Even if you've "reformed your past ways of crime" after serving jail time and "learned your lessons": non-felon > felon Especially in terms of potential risks to my staff or property. Basically, would you hire a

Comes to show, you still need connections to make it. Connections are everything, skill and intellect is largely secondary when removed from how well you network and gain friends in the industry or otherwise.

This is an interesting story, but if I had the choice to hire a felon (yes, once you commit a felony, even after serving time you are still a felon) or a scrappy coding bootcamp grad I'd take the bootcamp grad every time. Especially if

This sounds like a legal hell-hole waiting to happen. Admittedly I don't remember the exact doc, but the SEC takes information sharing and especially "facilitated network affects" to induce users to make market decisions ver

I'm pretty pissed billionaires and their stupid toy internet projects have ruined my chances of taking a clear picture of the asteroid in my name (won at an Intel ISEF science & engineering olympiad in high school) for the foreseea

At rates like this, the gov't (federal and state) are collectively taking more than half my income and still can't seem to function properly. 3% is enormous on top of existing sky high CA numbers...

You should look into the recent proposed bills that target exactly this. The provision that made headlines was a wealth tax on $30MM personal wealth, however it also includes enormous income tax hikes on anything above $1MM and explicitly

I live and work in NYC but the company I'm employed by is based in CA. How fucked am I if I'm ever able to cash out my equity. Note, technically I'm a resident of NYC. If I don't have an office by next year, I've

Honestly, if timing had been different I would've waited six months longer to take a five month hiatus prior to looking for work again. I'm at a fantastic startup after leaving amazon and couldn't be happier about what I&#x27

Winter will be interesting both in terms of the NYC economy and covid. Once it's too cold for outdoor dining more businesses will likely close (there's just no way to avoid this, as someone with family in the restaurant industry

No worries, I think in NYC they happen to be more ethnic. Only since poor white communities generally reside in NJ or surrounding states. I've only lived here for six months though, so I don't really consider myself in a position

As a resident of New York City I absolutely cannot fathom another lock-down, and unfortunately I don't think a vast majority of residents my age would take it "seriously". A big reason the lock-down ever worked was the sheer

They've been very supportive, however I usually like to have delineation between work and side projects I stand to profit from. I have had some time to learn a bit about React and TypeScript from our front-end people. It's hard t

I totally agree, and most of what I do outside of work isn't directly work related (even though that's been very challenging during quarantine). The most fun I've had in a while is coming up with an idea and banging on the k
