These lists barely make sense. They compare apples to oranges. On top of that, they're heavily gamed. I know of at least one company near the top of that list that has to be astroturfing their reviews. Most folks there hated their job

That's why CEOs make less $ than software engineers right?

You're forgetting planned obsolescence. It's not a coincidence that battery life drops off a cliff and performance issues crop up right at the 1 year mark for most phones.

Ever since I started paying for Hulu years ago, I have not seen a single ad while watching it.

The political comedy stuff is both topical and easy to write which makes it easy to see the appeal. You don't need some deep understanding or keen observation to mock cynical politicians. It's definitely lowest common denominator

Dumb money has been drying up for years. There have been bots taking millions of dollars out of games for more than a decade. Even bots from 10 years ago were sophisticated enough to win money at mid-stakes poker (up to $2000 buy in 6max n

Smaller stack sizes reduce possibilities and thus reduce complexity. Pay jumps result in chips having different utility to each player which forces some situational playstyles to be more optimal. I would guess that this also reduces the com

This is true in tournament play. In a cash game it doesn't matter since there is no elimination, you can always rebuy. And it's not like in the movies where if you don't have the money to call a bet, you lose. You simply are

"Relax on the train" - My experience is that it's very difficult to relax on public transit due mostly to the homeless. Whether it's the smell, begging, or just general unstable behavior, it's not exactly a relaxing

This depends quite a lot on how you define selection. If you want highly rated content of all genres and formats (TV and movies), you get more than you could ever hope to have time to watch. If you want to watch one specific thing, then yea

Yeah, games where someone kicks things off in a positive manner or with a joke almost never turn into toxic nonsense. I wish I were better at being the one to do that.

More likely the phrasing of your response provided signals that they shouldn't proceed.

Sounds like your wife isn't well read on the topic. CPAP is life saving treatment for some. Sleep apnea surgeries have poor success rates https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3480570/

Length of tenure is definitely not a good enough gauge. I've worked with folks with 15+ years that could technically code but they took eons to deliver and their solutions were unmaintainable. Some of them with advanced degrees too. Sm

This is what everyone does in person too. The people that go last tune out because they're preoccupied about what they'll say and the people that go first stop listening because the value of the information tends to be very low.

They don't offer identical wages. The McDonald's by my house offers $17/hr starting pay. The McDonald's by my work ~7 miles away offers $13/hr starting pay. That's about a 30% raise for an extra 15 minutes of c

So hole up in a cave because someone might be tracking you every time you leave the house? It's perfectly reasonable to require companies to tell us what data they're collecting and how it will be used.

Sure you can spin up unlimited servers. But an individual doesn't have the resources to collect data from across the city at all times, which is where we really start getting into invasion of privacy.

I'm really curious how something like that would be received. Is Benihana entertaining to watch because of the tricks themselves or because it's impressive that a human has learned to perform the tricks consistently?

That terminology is so much better. I might start floating that around the office.

It's definitely a mixed bag across the industry and even across individuals at the same company. To some people culture fit might mean "I'd hang out with this person on Sundays." This of course is problematic and can let

Man Subspace/Continuum was such a great game. I do recall issues with packet loss, but in general the game functioned really well even on my 33.6kbps modem with hundreds of players and pretty frenetic gameplay. It's not until you

They think about stealing but realize that they might get caught due to the wiretap. In a later season when they're taking part in a raid with a dead wiretap and no risk of being caught after the fact, they do take the money. The entir

Humans, in general, are not good at delayed gratification or long term planning. They don't plan for health care expenses or save enough for retirement. As a result, your employees will for the most part, happily defer those costs whic

In the last week, I've heard customer service agents and personal trainers talking about investing in bitcoin. It definitely feels like a bubble here.
