This exists and if you thought dealing with recruiters and job interviews was bad wait until you try a matchmaker. We paid for a friend to use one and I think she would have rather gone to a bar - at least there you know why you struck out

My wife and I met via a dating app in 2000. This was back in the day when you might have 40 women in total in a given metro area participating. Anyway, what you wrote about what dating sites don’t do (advice on etiquette etc) also resonat

I’ve also noticed McDonald’s as a whole has a very good hiring program. It’s rare you get someone who just doesn’t give a crap these days. I would say as a rule their employees seem intelligent and motivated to be friendly to customers wh

It does what it says and it’s expensive. There’s a couple of commercial packages like this - two that come to mind are vcinity and Signiant. A solution can be made but every time I look at the market you find very few customers with a rea

It actually existed before the US scandal. Gerhard Schroeder promotes the nordstream deal as chancellor, signed an agreement between nordstream and Germany, then upon leaving office signed onto Nordstream’s board of governors. If that isn

What really bothers me about these articles is that the authors claim to beat but they only study 37 companies. What about the 38th? Or the 380th. I guarantee you I can cherry pick 37 companies where a linear regression will accurately pr

Not just any politician but its former chancellor: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41447603 Edit: we’ve now reached a point where bbc articles merit downvotes. Absurd!

This is a typical executive schedule. If you’re managing a global workforce, you can generally take 2am to 6am quiet hours but that’s about it. It’s not everyday but at minimum you’d usually see check-ins from Europe needing response comi

It does have the appearance of this type of project. You have to assume they at least need to go through the exercise to ensure that there’s not some technology combined w/ out of the box thinking that could upend the status quo.

This article is a great headline that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what’s wrong. I’d say the internet has become an Amazon-style marketplace of fake do-do. Anything you search for results in nothing but endless fake domain

My understanding is once the capsules splash down that’s it for the capsule as a passenger ferry. Does Boeing get to reuse theirs? I lost track of the final resolution on the stand test but if I recall I don’t think that was intended to b

That’s fair criticism... can I qualify that I meant new development? Curious, what do you see as succeeding?

I think we will really see how this plays out with starship. Just look at the number of iterations it’s gone through. I personally prefer to plan everything and think of every iteration and eventuality. But Whenever I do post mortems in m

Oh it’s definitely because of this... that’s why I think Spacex was right to pursue a path where each flight gets considerably cheaper with reuse and to prove the platform with cargo rather than pursue space tourism. Now they have a flight

I was just about to write something similar - the reason nasa projects fail is because they refuse to allow for iteration. Every flight from the first flight must be flawless. Look at Spacex ... they iterate just fine for their own privat

Me too! Seriously just yesterday I was thinking it would be valuable to study the NEC electrical code with my kids. I may be wrong but seems like electricians fall into the same category. As a side note: I have a house going through final

As someone who has been involved in telco routing / call infrastructure, I agree and disagree. Most telcos hate that their networks are being flogged by these short duration calls. When they have the engineering competence / bus

Congress could rule that the copying/filtering method is illegal and that Henning’s method of mirroring is the only acceptable practice. Then we don’t care so much about the specific means. I’m not a huge fan of ombudsman/czar p

I tend to agree - this is similar to when cable companies and television networks have a contract dispute over licenses. Both parties claim the other is being unreasonable and they are the reason you can't watch "channel 257&quot

It would be nice to see the economic cost of each of the options as well.

Yeah so I just was searching on that and saw this too... like they would need to be nearly 70% of a market for coercive strategies to be antitrust (although I take it % isn’t the only test). Hard to see how one would define a market where

Are there any anti trust experts here that can comment on whether this constitutes illegal tying?

I agree. Although there are norms for the practice of selling large personal stakes, generally someone who is/has been a founder would announce their intent to diversify with a schedule — ie I’m going to sell x% over the next 3 years

I tend to agree - if Toyota wants to develop in hydrogen, why should it matter? And by the way li-on isn’t something you just walk down to Walgreens, buy a palette of a123 batteries and put them in your car. It’s a significant supply chai

It sounds like to me that rather than interact with his colleagues to ensure their enterprise product was built incorporating the approaches he took in his package, he just went a built his package in isolation and then pushed it to github.

I have this concern too that by putting something out there without permission as an employee you may have done harm to the company. You need a lawyer. You may also want to consider hiring a coach to help you develop a voice within the co

Agreed but what's happening is that governments are waking to the idea that not only will communications over the wire be encrypted from platforms (such as signal, dare I say whatsa--- no I can't, but you get the point), data at r

I'm sorry I just thought it would be a nice ironic twist -- recruiters hiring other recruiters has to be like a matter meeting anti-matter. In all seriousness, it all comes back to the client. Having been a hiring manager, one of the
