Do law firms ask people to write a short opinion based on a toy problem?

imo, the appliances breaking is also a choice and one that is a real shame. No one actually wants to buy new refrigerators or dishwashers, and the improvements in that space have all be pretty marginal. Fast fashion is shame too - clothes

I am pretty sure a lack of exercise opportunity is not the limiting factor for aggro people

What's a good way to learn how to professionally communicate?

I agree with you on this, but the Threads culture of 'no bad vibes' is very hard to take

heck, I'm not a regular user, and I find it annoying to pick a server without knowing what the vibe is. I want to lurk without any transaction costs before I sign up for something

at least among the people I follow, there aren't really very many tech people. It's pretty much friendly enough for anyone to use imo. I mean, sure if you want to run a PDS or labeller, that's basically technical folks only

I know folks are hosting their own PDSs, at least in the sandbox, and I want to say in prod? I'm not sure there are any non-bluesky Relays I know folks are hosting their own labellers. and I know folks are hosting their own appviews I&

I did the same thing, and really focused on opening up loops and getting ascenders and descenders straight, and it made a huge difference I just picked one of those all the letters in one sentence phrases and practiced on that during phone

Not that there is a great culture around coaching people off PIPs, but how's an AI going to effectively coach a person how/where to focus their effort to improve their performance?

I feel like being managed by an algorithm is probably pretty bad. But being managed by a manager with discretion and judgement, and a suite of good tooling, is probably about as good as it gets Philosophically the computer ought to be a too

This is why I ask beloved by whom and classic by what standard. Look, Narnia has witchcraft in it and depicts Christ as a lion. It's probably blasphemous (though, yes, I get that it is intended as a regular Christian allegory and is n

"widely beloved" by whom? "classic" in what sense?

I think the question is who is the business healthy for, and who is the c-suite and up loyal to? It is possible, and even likely, that a healthy business differs in some material ways for a CEO+board than its employees, though I also expect

well, also the modern corporation. I think the centralized planning aspect is actual orthogonal to the resource distribution/means of production aspect

I have long suspected a model like this, borrowing from lawyer shops and worker co-ops, could be pretty good for software. Since software is sort of inherently project based, could have a mix of product and contracting, and could have wins

I don't have tinnitus, but I do have this thing where when I'm falling asleep, my eyes (despite being closed and in a dark room) will start to feel like they are looking at a brighter and brighter light. This is very irritating f

why is monster vs ageable mob a good cleavage? This is odd

I know I'm doing something wrong, but trying to programmatically figure out errors in golang always seems to rely on knowledge of a magic string in the error and I find it frustrating

The python example stack trace says explicitly what the problem is and somehow it's a problem?

Sounds like something a car rental agency that wants to have a bunch of electric rentals should probably think through before yeeting a fleet into existence....
174.
by monknomo 3y ago
This is a problem for a car rental company that wants to provide electric cars to solve, sure. The rental co really needs to provide reasonable charged cars, and so long as charging infrastructure is dicey (especially with hotels in the mix

by monknomo 3y ago
My god, not having enough on site fast chargers for both charging the fleet and reassuring renters that if nothing else they can come back to the airport and top up is really stupid

I really miss having quality used bookstores. I used to live somewhere with a Friends of the Library that was top notch. And things like http://www.wavebooks.com/ are also top notch. But they sure aren't everywhere

US experience is different, with big diesels and primarily freight. I'd rate them as similarly annoying to a divided highway, but I suppose it depends on the region and the specifics

I have lived near a freight railway, and I assure you they are not quiet

A couple years back this may have been useful, but we've pivoted towards a different approach with less reliance on an external crm, except as a routing and presence engine

It isn't, but I'm pretty sure the status quo is a time consuming interview with lots of puzzle solving coupled with a probationary period and a vesting cliff. I think because hiring is so difficult (on both sides of the table) th
