pardon my ignorance, but is that a good thing or a bad thing? (the first part)

Basically there is funding for early research, and for drugs that are really close to release, but the years in between (the drudgery) aren't very interesting to investors so capital is hard to come by to keep projects alive. An acquai

The one guy i know that lives like this... his feet! oh god, do they smell. So much so, you don't notice the rest so much. You'd think being barefoot so much would air them out.

correct, as long as you move camp at least 5 miles every 16 days.

I live in Washington and my uncle was a state inspector for years. I assure you, there are places in certain areas of the state where you can build whatever you want as long as you keep a low profile. Officials are afraid to drive their off

i think as folks have less money and the good times of the last market boom are over, they will more deeply consider the value add that high priced universities may or may not actually add to their life over the long run. I think a correcti

Comfortable employees are more productive employees. Here in Washington, this time will be at least 6 weeks(schools closed for 6 weeks). Thats a long time to sit hunched in an uncomfortable position. Id rather spend the extra cash on a nice

Yes, I agree on the last part. Thats why my OP stated a "nice setup". I think people should be comfortable when they work. Otherwise they will find reasons to not work, specially when un(der)supervised. Thus I think people should

As someone who has worked at home for many years, and has a nice home office setup. $1k is not nearly enough... you need monitors, a decent desk, a nice chair, office supplies, a printer/scanner, the list goes on and on.

They don't have a shortage of things to hype up, never have, but the market dropping actually hurts them. I'll follow the money, and not conspiracy theories.

yet a number of FAANGs have datacenters full of mismatched lease returns. So it much make sense at some scale.

Your analogy is not very good. General contractors take bids, they don't set the price, they take the best offer for them. And as a sub contractor or GC you can have as many jobs open as you want. I see no similarities between uber dri

i am not assuming anything nor making any accusations. I am simply inquiring as to the source of the claim made. i guess, we will establish that its just the opinion of the poster.

by mtnGoat 7y ago
exactly. FWIW. I wasn't claiming either, I was questioning source of knowledge, as the claim seemed to be factually informed, but are in fact just the posters opinion on the matter.

yikes, ive never tried with any of those, but that would certainly suck. in my experience most platforms have a pretty fair compliant resolution policy though.

Yes i do, i have seen Googlers post positive experiences and defenses/responses to negative posts here.

by mtnGoat 7y ago
well this is absolutely true. negative voices tend to be more vocal. All the G engineers I work with have been there a while, so they went through different processes.

AirBNB is rife with scammers, and from my understanding they tend to side on the side of the scammer during a dispute. You might want to check on that false sense of security they are giving you.

calling the Card issuer is always my first stop. CS these days is abysmal at most companies.

out of curiosity, do you work at PayPal or is the first paragraph all assumptions? One would have thought Wells Fargo had a talented team of people to catch their millions of fake accounts they made, but alas it went on for a decade. I will

this is awesome stuff, thank you! great work!

this would be awesome, i would watch this! i bet they would all go back home and immediately fix their own hiring practices.

Unfortunately, a lot of the most damning stuff posted here, has been from google employees. I remember a long HN post recently where Google Engineers were lamenting about how they do nothing at work all day, are losing their skills, and onl

Google(et al) isn't searching for the best in the world. They are searching for the best malleable candidates that fit into their mold. This is why some of them recruit heavily from fresh grads, so they can indoctrinate them as they se

All I have heard are nightmare stories from everyone I know whom has interviewed at a FAANG(or the likes). It's crazy how disrespectful(and frankly insulting) these companies are to candidates, under the guise of trying to get the best

In this case instead of a golfing buddy, his son-in-law was appointed to deal with Israel/Palestine. Nepotism is a problem, as is cronyism.

shouldnt something be tracking the BOM and thus calculating the weight of everything being added in. It seems like catching this could even be automated.

he was using email addresses on the same few domains, cards, even using the same IPs, wasnt very clever at all. Radar would have been an easy fix.

On the contrary i have seen a lot of growth in live video based sales in the US, the younger generation seems to really like it. Ive seen IG boutiques move $100k in product in under an hour, many times.
