When I went to Amsterdam, I made the mistake of not booking tickets in advance. It was totally sold out the entire time I was there. Would love to have gone. The Rijksmuseum next door was impressive, though extremely crowded.

I work for a FAANG, and I don’t know of a single IC here that was hired in their 40s or older. Almost everyone we’ve hired is in their 20s, with a handful in their early 30s. As a 40+ IC, I’m praying I don’t get laid off because it looks ro

The stat indicates there’s moderately high crime evenly distributed, or very high crime throughout a significant portion of the city, or extraordinarily high crime in smaller isolated areas. It’s the second of those (and OP is right, it’s h

The image is offensive because, as an photo sourced from a “men’s magazine”, it’s a reminder that mostly men worked on developing image compression and jpeg technology in the past, and this could make women feel left out or uncomfortable to
