Yeah, but the one problem is other companies you're going to afterwards don't know what you were getting into. So you are interviewing and they interviewer is impressed you led X big project at Netflix, recieved a promotion, etc.

That's nice to think, but the reality of most business is it works with other business. They need to be roughly on the same schedule in general for that to work. You'll note that B to C business employees often work those stagge

As tptacek says, Jefferson Park is the bang for your buck winner in Chicago. My sister in law just bought for under 200 with a yard, and a decent 2 floor home. House next door was listed for 150 (incredibly small though), and these aren&#

Are most other big cities like the loop after business hours? I'm always shocked at how deserted it is on weekends, and evenings aside from the odd theatre traffic.

I agree with this viewpoint, but it's not popular with this crowd for obvious reasons (hence your downvotes). I think there's a bit of a double edged sword here. People don't want to upgrade, but want a vendor to provide up

Here's a serious question. I'm like, 50/50 with whether or not I believe BI could work or not, but I really believe it can NOT work without being universal in nature. By doing it in a small geographic area only, aren't

Real life events don't make me cry. Seriously, I've had break ups, deaths.. you name it. But damn, the opening to that movie did.

I started to read this with some interest, as someone who's spent many hours thinking about and trying different metabolic strategies, diets, etc.. Then about 30 seconds in my reading got disrupted by a fucking light-box asking me to s

I used to have to work in both these cities when I did field service. Valpo is a little unique, though I suspect part of that is proximity to the beautiful Dunes lakeshore area. Merrilville on the other hand, is a standard, typical suburb

Oddly at the same time, as the article mentions, tea consumption in the US has exploded. I switched completely to tea from coffee, and I was a 6+ cups a morning coffee drinker. My stomach problems have gone from unmanageable to generally g

As a cyclist, I get a lot of reasons I shouldn't be on the road thrown at me from people with uneducated opinions, but this one - this misconception right here that driving pays for roads, is the only one that makes my blood boil. I t

What's going to finally change this is when there's a particularly bad day, and security lines are likely to make enough people late, that a swarm effect happens and a mass of people just says "no more" and walks through

I've actually noticed many of the pay at the pump not working with my chip card at all lately and having to go inside or use my other card that doesn't have a chip yet.

Therein lies the problem. We're not talking about down on your luck, rough chance of circumstances for many of the residents here, we're talking about mental illness and all too often violent drug addicted reactions. For every p

I see a developer who's in and out of a company depending on his mood and opinion of the company several times, then complaining when he gets fired for not showing up at work. He blames the all night coding session, but from the sound

No, not in the US. However, given a month or so with knowledge that you're leaving, I would imagine that as this person is training their replacement they are also spending their time searching for a new role that fits better. Once i

No, it's not firing. Firing would be telling that employee their attitude and/or output made them a bad fit and it was time to go. This is the manager explaining that unless that changes, it will be time to go, and giving the emp

Yep. Let's not forget the massive benefit of this - introducing new minds to hard concepts. It doesn't need to be feature perfect and up to date with the latest ideas, just enough to make it interesting to the readers.

City folk here. I may not fit your mold because I grew up on a dirt road in rural Maine, but I think you might find the Yukon got a whole lot more crowded. I can do all those things too, just not here. I'd make my way north. I can&

Serious question: In areas where Malaria is killing many people, access to health care is a big part of why, right? So I'm assuming if you just removed the mosquitos, those people that died would be alive, and putting greater strain o

This is a problem that only this generation, and maybe part of the one after it will need to face. The answer is simple, and we're on the cusp of getting there. Like any other industry, education needs to be unbundled. The idea that

No, we need to change the structure of education. There's zero reason to spend 4 years taking general ed courses at the same cost to pursue a history degree as you would spent pursuing a science degree. Stop focusing on the lettered

I've often done this in situations where we're doing a lunch and learn, or another dev is demoing something to the team, etc.. Sometimes it's to make the presenter look smart, not yourself. Sometimes it's to know if nex

Good to hear. I honestly hope they just treat the employees well. I flew six? times on Virgin, and the experience was always made excellent by the staff. They must be treating them very well for them to be as good at what they did.

Sad, but not surprising. It seems like good customer service just doesn't scale for airlines. Back to being stuck with being treated like crap by your airline, or paying less to be treated slightly crappier by your airline.
