   I don't disagree with your observations of common failure modes, but I actually found this article quite concrete and actionable compared to much of the "productivity porn" that gets posted here.

   One unanswered question that I have around resumes is how to represent work done as a contractor or consultant for another company. I've seen everything from making it look like you were employed by the customer directly (obviously bad

   Duck duck go and Yahoo are both powered by Bing. So it's not "all the other search engines indexed this" so much as Bing did but Google didn't.

   Do you have any evidence of this? It would be a huge scandal if Google was found to be boosting organic SERP rankings/placement based on the site's use of Google Ads and I have no reason to believe this is true.

    This doesn't even make sense. Why would a brand manager role interview have leetcode questions? That being said, who the heck greenlit this change? This is parody level mismanagement.

    I appreciate the analysis! This is definitely interesting to see laid out. You're right, it was definitely hyperbolic to say it's been posted monthly on a continuous basis dating back that far. As you've pointed out, it would

    Rabbit, Duck, and Lamb are all pretty common meats to eat in the US. Usually in finer dining, but I've never seen anyone raise an eyebrow at these. Horse, on the other hand...

    When the economy turns south the attrition rates go WAY down. If things are truly bad, no one wants to leave a stable and secure gig.

    "Fired for raising AI Ethical Concerns" sounds a lot worse than the details in the WashPo article - they insisted an internal chatbot was sentient despite refutation and evidence to the contrary, brought in a lawyer to "repre

    Agreed - Microsoft's ability to stream anything that runs on XBox vs Stadia's Linux requirement means XBox Cloud's selection is miles ahead. I have a powerful gaming PC, but use streaming as a console replacement for games no

    This article comes across as a bit conspiratorial. I feel like "dark pattern" is on the verge of losing meaning when it's applied in cases like this as opposed to for example: making accept cookies one click and reject multip

    Article title is "AMERICAN PHONE-TRACKING FIRM DEMO’D SURVEILLANCE POWERS BY SPYING ON CIA AND NSA". I think that's much clearer than the submission title, which took me a few rereads to parse.
