Like I said, second to ZIRP. The offshoring options now are greater than they have been in the past.

This sounds kind of crazy for me. How can you get over the extra 8% or so from Social Security and Medicare tax and still make more with while paying for benefits and not getting a 401k match? Maybe you're an outlier? I get that expens

Sure, but how do you pay for it?

With the outsourcing I'm seeing, we already are. I feel this is and even bigger factor than AI in the terrible tech market right now, only really behind zirp.

Even if workers were choosing more paprt time hours, it's only because they were able to make enough money in full-time employment (ususally) to build up enough money to only need part time work.

Screw part time. The whole economy is moving towards part time, gig work, etc and it's terrible for most employees who need good wages and benefits.

The recruiters reaching out to me are all for terrible companies or for non-remote roles in other areas of the country. It seems Glassdoor and others have better job boards than LinkedIn.

by giantg2 1y ago
It's not even a good job board anymore because it's filled with junk and evergreen postings.

Retail - most of the good jobs are impossible to get. That's probably what I'll have to do when my current company finishes firing me with my disability. I have used a bunch of the regular job search boards - Dice, Ladders, Indeed

You don't need a full model. You can build deductive arguments using empirical facts to support the premises.

Aside from the ocean problem, nations could take action on these items themselves in many cases. Require the chemical lists, chemical phaseout, restrict production and import, etc.

The trigger movement wasn't enough to fully depress from my understanding. The problem is, even a slight depression of the trigger disengages the striker safeties. Most of the uncommanded discharges dod alleged that the gun or holder w

Possible, but that's not really what my friends in those areas are seeing. The only real industry there is medical - taking care of all the old folks.

I'm not seeing many jobs in my area for non-tech companies. The non-tech company is working for is outsourcing to India. I might be getting terminated soon and expect I will end up working retail. Nobody wants early career generalists.

I wonder if the participation rate is lower or people moved away.

Everywhere has a boom-bust cycle. The question is just on what timeline. It typically takes decades to happen. When is anyone's guess.

I see these as potentially the same thing depending on the details. There are some videos that show the gun was in a holster and not being messed with, etc. It also seems it could be from something hitting the holster (most reports include

Sure, but Musk showing them means full access to anything, demos, etc since he runs the show.

Sig claims the issue was resolved. Keep in mind that Sig never admitted to the issue. They only issued a voluntary upgrade and never issued a safety recall .

And those "fixes" didn't fully resolve the issues.

While I agree with the title of the article, some of the contents seem a little over the top in the way they present them. We would need to see the document to know how bad it really is. Many of the failure modes could be user dependent for

You know, I there aren't many celebrities, especially in tech, that I think "It would be cool to have a beer with them". Not Gates, not Jobs, probably not Musk. But Woz seems like a cool guy with great stories to tell.

Project 2025 is not a response plan. It's also not the same as the Republican platform. They publish separate documents. What you are seeing is the overlap between Project 2025 and Agenda 47. There are multiple think tanks for both sid

Doesn't have to be wifi. There are many different ways to communicate. It's a matter of finding the best one. Unfortunately, the largest drawback is the potential for malicious/mischievous actors to interrupt them given the c

I'd be open to working on it if they actually want to pursue it and want to provide contact info for whatever subgroup handles the comms/networking.
