This is not doxing in any way is it? The person is using their own name, is a public figure, posted about their activities on twitter and can be easily Googled. Would reddit ban anything about this if the person in question was not an emplo

I’m in the Bay Area and see since F-150 every time we go on the 101. That being said I would guess some cheap Honda or Toyota is way more popular. Maybe they just have more different models. Looking at the data is looks like gm sells most,

It’s not unreasonable to think they meant it at the time though. Things changed rapidly, I see how it looks bad from a Russian perspective but when for example the Baltic requested protection it looks reasonable to help out given their hist

Is not like the Soviet Union has a really long life ahead anyway. They had gotten the mortal wound, the question was mostly how long the bleeding out would take. I guess they could have gone down in flames if they wanted to choose that inst

While I in general agree with the article, counterpoint is that there have not been any Tesla accidents recently while in autopilot mode I believe? Edit: I guess I was wrong, the accidents are now so common we don’t care anymore. In the be

M4A is socialism and is just too easy a target in the U.S. At some point there will beer a republicans president, and due to the structural advantages it’s likely he will have full control over all branches. Not sure that a real democracy c

Sure HR is there to manage risk. If they already are shown to be like this in the interview I would not be safe if they decided to "manage risk" with me later on. I luckily never had to deal with HR, but it can happen to anyone.

That’s not how it works at all. First of all interviews are a two way interview. Your company will be judged based on it. Also people come in touch with hr later, and usually in high pressure situations. If HR was difficult during the inter

Yeah, if I name a number and you exceed it that shows you want me. If you force me to name a number and you still come in below that is going to be a no even though I might have accepted it if you didn’t force me to give a number. I just ha

The legal system does not work like this even though I see it all the time, and a lot from programmers. You mostly cannot get off on a technicality like this. If they judge believe that a reasonable person thinks there was a human rabbit th

And for the handcuffs if you get any other job it almost certainly has similar insurance. The main issue is if you have no job, when you live you are offered what is called I think Cobra that will keep you on a similar plan. I’ve heard from

You are probably right, I just know the administrator for the google and Amazon insurance were always super helpful and even though I have had some massive claims I never had to fight with the insurance company. Like I said many times I bel

Yes, there is a different amount for out of network yearly max, but it’s still less than $10k. It applies to anything. I’ve had several surgeries, one was over $100k just for the surgery (a broken arm that was healing wrong and had to be re

It’s only a problem because people in general are not willing to pay for it. You and the OP have the same problem you want a solution but are not willing to pay the price. And you think that what you want is what most people want, but from

Your full family is covered yes. My wife was covered before we were married as well, being in a stable relationship was enough. And yes agree I would like healthcare to be not tied to employment.

If they would let me I would vote for M4A, and give every American decent healthcare even if it would raise my taxes a bit. But that is beside the issue in this thread. All software engineers can safely move to the US and not worry about he

I thought I answered this, but you are right. All the startups I have talked to, even seed startups, have decent medical. There is a fundamental difference though. The startups actually use insurance so you have to deal with the insurance c

It really doesn't work that way. My insurance covers out of network as well with a yearly maximum. My wife has gone to ER by ambulance a few times (she gets really strong periods and sometimes faints in strange places). It has always b

I really agree with you, and I am all in on M4A. But for the thread the important part is that if you are a software engineer moving to the US is safe.

There is a yearly out of pocket maximum in the best insurances. It doesn't matter what happens, I will pay max something like $10k for me and family no matter what happens. This is true for all of Google and Amazon (note that this is a

Nah, my insurance (like all Google and Amazon insurances) have an out of pocket maximum/year. It is like less than 10k.

I don't think so, and I think level 3 is an error and should never be there. I think most will go from 2->4. L3 is just requiring human concentration that is impossible. That being said I agree with the spirit of your comment.
