Not as important … to whom? Currently there’s a lot of areas in the country with long distances between fast charging stations. Sure that might change in years but for now “range anxiety” (as mentioned in the article) is real.

And what about the people that can’t afford to or can’t move due to family obligations? That’s what really annoys me about this — as a reasonably well off tech guy none of this affects me as I have access to ways around them (travel out of

That’s the point: without knowing that time is an important feature your ML model will come to the wrong conclusion.

But going onsite or remote interviewing for 4 hours is more reasonable? Looking at the original post they have a 4 hour at home coding assignment that’s followed up by a group presentation. I’m guessing that one is an hour or so. Figure a

It’s coming up to June when MSFT does yearly planning and determining headcount so expect to hear nothing back or that they are in a holding pattern. This happened to me last year and after asking around happens every year.

Is this a bad thing to though? The pilots are doing what they eventually wanted to do. Hopefully they are happier. As for the shortage in general: economies have to adapt. Maybe that means more robotic flown aircraft. Or train travel in

No broker in their right mind is deliberately underpricing the homes they represent. Why would they? A homeowner talks to another broker and they say they can get 20% more than the first one. Who is the seller going to go with? When we s

It’s time theft if you put in 40 hours of work a week while at home but then you’re told to do 8 hours a week of commuting and by the way you still have to do 40 hours of work. I think “time theft” sums it up nicely. You had something and

“I saw very little work being done” That’s an incentive problem not a “be in the office” problem. Or you’ve hired lazy bums. Or the work isn’t interesting enough. If the people are screwing around then fire them. More than likely the job

Damn it was $70/share 8 months ago and now it is $10. Which means that a 4 year stock grant worth $700k then got you 10k shares. That’s now worth $100k

I thought Squid Game was a Netflix funded program and the OP is talking about licensing of other IP? I think they are doing that right now with Nippon TV’s Japanese show about toddlers running errands “I’m old enough” which started in 1991.

Now it clicks why cube farms are popular: it is an easy way for managers / owners to feel the excitement of the agora but being up in the box seats they don’t have to live or think in it.

How were they denying it? That somehow PFAs were magically springing out of the ground that just so happened to be next to a factory of their’s? There can’t be that many factories pumping out these chemicals in that area.

What about profitable indie studios? Sure there’s a lot of games made by small companies, but how many are around for a 2nd game that isn’t just a shadow of their first game? I don’t have any stats but would find that interesting, mainly a

I never had problems with fake products on Amazon until I looked for a usb thumb drive for the Arlo camera base station. There’s a dramatic difference in price for 1T sizes. Some at $30. Others at $150. I couldn’t understand it. One of th
