Sorry to say this, but everyone in this thread should be aware of ghost job openings. https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/fake-jobs-hide-cooler-... It's sometimes incompetent HR process and sometimes intentional

This is pretty narrow minded. I like playing basketball. I will never be as good as Lebron James. It's fun to watch someone else play at the edge of what is possible. I might even learn something I can use myself. I like software devel

I had that thought too. What will these robo-voices sound like 2 iterations from now? We've entered new territory.

Yes! I very much was thinking Malkovich too!

The quality of the voices here is striking. If I wasn't clued in, I probably wouldn't know these weren't human. At least the male voice sounds slightly more natural to me.

In my opinion, there's too much real estate value locked up in Florida's coastline to allow rising sea levels. Flood control in the Netherlands goes back to at least 325 BCE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floo

If it's that horrible a place, why do you think the name has cachet? Honest question.

It is definitely about tracking SPECIFICALLY YOU. Target, one of the largest retailers in the US, has already abused tracking to increase targeted advertising to expecting mothers. https://bit.ly/3S3hlrA

A free person shouldn't have to articulate why they need privacy. Privacy should be the default in free societies. I can play this game though: you are pregnant, but have not shared that information yet with your family because it&#x27

It's easy to interest people in maintenance if you pay them. A quick search shows Bank of America turned a net profit in '23 of $6.9B. It would be trivial for them to pay a fleet of engineers $250k/yr+ for Java maintenance. I

Imagine the millions of dollars of destroyed property value in the area around the site. At a minimum the rail company should have to buy out all the land at the day-before market value. You broke it, you buy it.

It's a lucky thing, for sure, but many upper-middle class people in the West take a few years off of work for various reasons now already. Sabbaticals, child care, travel, etc. If human lifespans increase to many centuries, it would be

It may very well be the case that deep gravity wells are a necessary precursor to life! Are there other known natural systems that push and mix pre-life molecules together?

HSPP spending this kind of money and time to improve security is just a reputation protective measure. I'd expect any casino, card room, or bank to do this regularly before I'd trust six figures with them.

Funny, this website struck me as profoundly ugly. Ugly beige and muted browns and grays. Misaligned header and side columns. Don't get me started on the "ugliness" of the homepage... :/

What a joke of a question! I would be very tempted to ask the same of this VP: "What assurances are you going to offer that I won't be laid off, fired, or 'let go' in a few years?" I'd never accept a job offe

I'm a paid subscriber. Thanks so much for making this! I've used Anki extensively in the past but had the same issues with it's clunkiness with edits and tagging, etc. Mochi is a serious killer app for me, since I use it dail

There's a growing body of evidence that Earth has already been visited numerous times by something other than humans. Certain classes of UAPs demonstrate flight characteristics that are not possible given our current understanding of g

The US definitely needs iron clad data privacy laws. The authors of the Constitution absolutely understood how critical privacy was with respect to personal information. "Papers" is the keyword here, the OG Americans were 100% har

You, my friend, are grossly underpaid. Time to start job shopping.

I got a recruitment email this morning that said "unlimited sick leave!" then in fine print at the bottom: "If applicant lives in CO, they will receive paid sick days." Labor laws in this country are nutty.

I agree with the sentiment of Open Salaries. > If this generates resentment, it means the company is poorly managed. You can't honestly hand wave away human nature like this though. "You are paid 20% less than Bob because you

I've seen this comment many times before, in Colorado and more recently in New York City. Laws can be passed to make this painful for companies. Department of Labor, either at the state or federal level, can enforce companies trying to

Fun fact, I was out late last night at a local upscale gas station. Think clean, well lit, and modern touchscreen sandwich ordering. NOT a dirty, broken down place. You'd expect the tech to work flawlessly in a place like this. I was s

Bought a Mazda CX5 a few months ago. Thank god Mazda currently has the "driver first" mentality. NO Touchscreen! Main input is through a comfortable knob in front of the arm rest, where your hand naturally lands when resting. Gaug

I can't help but marvel at how terrible the OpSec on display is here. Hoards of cash in drawers and bags? Open laptops with logged in crypto accounts? Maybe they only showed the few dummies on the team that didn't follow protocol,
