something i have seen a few times: candidate is far more qualified for the job than the existing employees and they are afraid of their superiority showing, of the possibility of replacement, so they railroad every candidate. imposter syndr

Thoughtful response, and nice to find someone that has a reasonable knowledge on the matter as well. I do agree with your point about cancel culture and payments, it is rather scary what/who else they could come after. If they want to

maybe part of the whole conversations is survivorship bias? id be interested to see data on the past positions and companies people on both sides of the argument have worked on. ie: if you have seen how teams of hundreds are justified, it m

one of the bike stores in my town was bought by trek, now you can only buy expensive parts there. they dont sell anything low end or for beginners. the cheapest kids bike they sell was $200, lowest priced helmet was $80.

fact of the matter is... if you are a cyclist, amazon is definitely not the place to look for bike parts. sadly, all the SEO spammers only advertise amazon affiliate links so you'd think amazon sells decent bike parts, but you'd b

Interesting post, when I worked in Vienna I had a guy who was from Nigeria on my team, his dad was a diplomat to the UN, I believe. One day he told me how long it took him to walk back and forth to work, but it didn’t make sense it took tha

Ehh, on a macro level.. does advertising help make earth a better place. I’d guess no. On the micro, we do have thousands of happy customers whose business are more profitable, so those folks’ worlds are much better places.

Now this, is a great idea! Locally driven, local spending to solve local problems.

Agreed. The eastern forests don’t burn like the western ones do. I guess my original posts were more aimed at the western coniferous forests, which is what this is related to.

Agreed, but it’s only temporary because the tree will burn at some point releasing carbon dioxide. At least in any coniferous forest in the western half of North America. Don’t get me wrong, it’s much better than nothing. I just think they

guess the downvotes are from folks that dont understand how forests work? :)

i do not think so, here in washington Weyerhaeuser is selling off large sections of old logging land because the trees are growing much slower than they did historically at these locations, that coupled with increased fire risk, its easier

yea.. not a very good idea to invest in forests unless someone is going to actively log, graze or manage them, otherwise its just destined to burn and there goes your carbon. as we are learning now.

the tweet is about forests burning in washington state, not california. apparently they lease trees up here for carbon offset programs and its not gonna work out very well in the long term based on the fires lately. :x

i love how they say it cant be reversed in the warning. that is an absolute falsehood. its worded in a way that leads you to believe its final and not possible to undo, which is entirely false. source: recently had to help someone get a dev

My point is that the sky isn’t falling and none of these rules are new, just finally being enforced by a different entity. I’m aware that visa/mc doesn’t offer services directly to merchants. But they still set the rules the ipsp’s( li

PH is having problems due to so much "user uploaded" content that they can not verify the identity of the actors contained within. The difference now is that Mastercard is enforcing the rules rather than the US Government which ha

All in, it’s higher than the US. Not a bad as Sweden or Austria though.

I used to live internationally and the taxes weren’t that much more complex. It really shouldn’t cost thousands, it’s just two extra forms if I recall correctly. If you Are living in high tax regimes like Switzerland you don’t have double t

I shopped specifically for one that didn’t do this. They are around my, canon G6020 does not require me to use an app and I never registered anything. It’s internet connected, so I’m sure it’s sending them info, but no GPS and no app.

YouTube/IG/etc are not media creators per se, just aggregators. Thus, not including them on that list makes perfect sense to me.

i live in washington and hike a lot, i have found arrowheads and other artifacts, as have many of my hiking buddies. every time you call the tribe and offer to give them their artifacts, they tell you keep them.

i dont disagree, but this article was complaining that every ad network is backed by google. that is false. the correct complaint, IMHO, is that the ad networks themselves, regardless of who powers it... are shady. singling out google is no

Try Microsoft ads, they aren’t backstopped by Google in any way. Regardless of ownership, you’ll run into same problems almost everywhere if you publish articles critical of your advertisers. That’s nothing to do with Google and just the m
