I’m guess that’s the reason they never got back to him.

I have a pretty long resume at this point (23 years now in the workforce)... I use the cover letter to try to summarize a few takeaways using very short sentences. It seems like if you don’t hit at least one positive talking point within t

That’s what I don’t get - they spend so much time hiring for these narrow skill sets and then the guy next to you takes longer than five minutes to figure out Jira.

They probably assumed someone else did the debugging. People assume the worst in these situations because they haven’t bothered to learn about the person.

I once worked at a company where hr would go for months saying there are zero candidates for x position. I finally escalated and got access to the database and there were loads of candidates. The issue was they were purposefully holding m

I had a recruiter reach out to me recently about a VP role - when I looked her up on linked in seemed legit. But then in the “people also searched for” section there were all sorts of recruiters that appeared fake. I can’t explain it but

My great aunt married a Norwegian who was a teenager in WWII... he told us a story once that he and some other kids wanted to know what they could do and they were told to carry laxatives with them and drop them into any open container the

Apollo happened when it did because the inflationary excess of our monetary system hadn’t caught up to us yet... but notice that when the bill came due (1970)... Apollo was dead.

I tend to think the answer is somewhere in the middle. The 60s promised fusion vtol cars and what are we talking about now? Electric vtol Uber’s. There’s a lot of similarities between both era that suggests to me we aren’t going to see h

Thank you for writing this. I was the outsider kid who didn’t move on when all of his friends did. My friends were all military brats. Years later I reconnected with one and he didn’t even remember the two years between 8-10 we were inse

I used to subscribe to the idea that facebook helped you stay close to friends and family. But the issue is most of the friends and family who I want to hear from and wants to hear from me have too much going on to really be active. So th

To be honest, I find it very difficult to argue against the point you're making. I think it is somewhat logical to have SSO be the demarcation between individuals and enterprise, but if I rewind a decade or so, I imagine the line then

You just made the case for higher pricing. If it’s that valuable then it’s worth the price to secure it. It’s not that sso costs money to implement it’s that the price is tied to value of the data and the organization security needs. Edit

MWC is a 100,000 person French ski chalet... it makes total sense to cancel it. “Show flu” is a thing... so if just the booth workers come back through customs with even so much as an elevated temperature, it will unnecessarily crowd the q

I agree that Santana Row is particularly well done... but I think the author is reminiscing for something more like downtown Palo Alto. What he misses is a few things: a) Palo Alto can hold onto its old town feel because it’s literally th

Second this... even when you’re right you could be wrong. Options just amplify the effect.

Yeah I’ve based out of PHX a few times as well as LAS and would agree. If there was a subscription air charter at either place I would think it would be gang busters but that’s just me.

My inlaws have lived there part-time for the past 20 years.. I would say people should just read your comment above and save themselves the "shoot-me-now" angst of the article...I wish no one had ever said it would be a good idea

I’m reading the reddit thread below and I’m inclined to say maybe as a permitting organization, there’s not just a place but a critical need for an org like NASA: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/f2a1y

I’ve often wondered why BO hasn’t achieved orbit despite it being public knowledge that Bezos spends a billion / year on it. Other than space being hard, why do think that is?

my first advice is to Approach this as if you are running experiments... you don’t know the outcome beforehand and you’re likely never to know it. A forecast is not a crystal ball and it’s very important both for your survival as well as t

A little tangential but the SLS itself is an attempt to reuse technology off the shuttle... and yet, hundreds of billions later and nothing... the whole concept of technology repurposing is fine on paper... but for some reason NASA can’t ev

Not to mention SLS which is just nonsense at this point. As well as the numerous delays on the demo missions to the ISS. This feels to me like an ultimatum to NASA... move the ball forward or get out of the game. I get the sense there is

Are you seeking help in constructing the mechanics of a model or in taking an existing model and projecting it into the future? Or both?

So I guess we shouldn’t provide military service exemptions to conscientious objectors either. You either have separation of church and state or you don’t. As a practical matter I’m unaware of any church organization even the Mormons who

Fair enough I enjoy my relative anonymity here too. The whistleblowers do allege that the profits from investing have not been charitably distributed. But the issue in my meager understanding is not the amounts, it’s whether lds is acting

Generally I’m with you but in the case of religion, I think it’s a bad idea to tax one’s belief in God. The key issue here is the state isn’t supreme... just because there is untaxed wealth doesn’t mean it automatically belongs to the gove
