I get a lot of cold messages from recruiters inviting me to apply to jobs that are slightly less desirable than my current one. I've never pursued any of these, but I get the impression that are at least serious. nice to have as a back

ignorant question perhaps, but what makes the CEO of a small company so much juicier a target than a senior manager or director at a large one? both could have access to sensitive info, ability to spend a lot of money before it's notic

the "nazi bar" concept does accurately describe the problem with sites like parlor today, but I'd argue it's only true now because heavy moderation has become the default. most of the internet was not like this 10-15 yea

getting a second opinion is not fraud. but by the time you're getting the tenth opinion just because the first nine docs didn't give you written justification to draw on public funds, that looks pretty fraudulent. or put a differe

right, it is almost always cheaper to destroy something than it is to build it. there is some beauty to this principle, in a cosmic sense, but this particular stunt doesn't impress me either.

you might reflect on why companies do these sorts of rebrands to begin with. it's not usually to put a positive reputation behind them. I don't quite get why people are so emotionally invested in brands like facebook/meta and

the fact that neither of your wordings makes it clear whether I actually have to address your comment to get my code merged is much worse than the tone of the first version. like it or not, you are temporarily in a position of power when yo

I don't agree. I am what you would call a Cold, but maybe just have slightly more social awareness than you're imagining. I can't just "filter out the niceties". I perceive them as setting the expectation that I wil

it seems like a lot to me too. I use to work at a company about that size with a far more complicated product (professional design software with thousands of dialogs, render pipeline, etc). of course, we did not have so many customers.

this is a sword that cuts both ways though. in my experience, employers are much more interested in minimizing the attack surface for subpoenas than jamming up employees for indiscretions that took place over company comms. companies I&#x27

I don't live there, but I'm familiar with Tysons corner (it's an enormous mall serving most of nova). that station probably functions more as a park-and-ride than something you would actually walk to.

there is absolutely such a thing as hybrid. it just requires that everyone picks the same 1-3 days to be in office.

severe withdrawal complicates the early stages of recovery and probably makes a relapse more impactful (just what I've observed; I'm not a doctor). but in general I agree, the distinction does not matter much within the context o

this is an emotionally charged topic and people are often not very precise with terminology when discussing it. so I can understand why you would be confused just from reading a couple articles and comment sections. > This distinction se

sure, one can certainly question why spelling bees exist. I agree that the very idea of "correct spelling" in a language with so many borrowed/transliterated words doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. but at the same time

it's more that it's like showing up to a spelling bee and giving a long monologue about how the spelling of words is arbitrary and the entire competition is meaningless. you're not wrong, but you can't expect people to a

people often give this "just so" explanation, but it doesn't quite add up to me. if it's really so inconvenient to go to the consolidated Walmart location a few towns over, why don't you see shops start to reopen on

it's not really a prisoners dilemma, as there's no opportunity for mutual reward through cooperation. there aren't enough hours in the year for everyone to get the chance to properly appreciate it. you can either set it up as

why would you assume there are positive externalities though? large airports overwhelmingly serve for-profit airlines and freight carriers. I'd argue a lot of this activity should really be moved to rail. but either way, it seems tha
