I'm really not talking about something lengthy. But I get 100s of applications for every job post I publish. Most people who apply are frankly not qualified. If you are qualified, write a few sentences. "Hey, I saw your post for [

If someone can't be bothered to spend 10 minutes writing a cover letter for a job they want then I would consider them unqualified. I don't want to work with somebody who refuses to put in a bit of effort to get what they want. I

I pretty much disregard every application that doesn't have at least a basic note explaining why you want this particular job. Maybe getting a job is a numbers game, but I don't agree that getting a good job is.

Another option, why not find a startup that you can join remotely while traveling? Unless you really want to not work for 6 months, working during the week and exploring on the weekend while living anywhere might be a nice balance. You&#x27

Interesting podcast with Instacart's founder where he talks about an investor who turned him down because the same investor lost money on webvan. https://www.npr.org/player/embed/523003162/523047374

Wells Fargo did this to me many years ago from a business account. The State of California issued a seizer for unpaid taxes for another business. In the end I think Wells Fargo told us that our tax ID numbers were similar. We did end up get

You don't know when this code was written or what the original purpose was. User agent detection used to be a best practice. Onedrive for business is a mountain of legacy software going from sharepoint to groove to who knows what. This

That doesn't sound right at all. It's been a number of years since I have been at MS, but any engineering team I worked on would have wanted this feedback and fixed the problem. Not supported officially doesn't mean a dev can

You're stating as fact something that is very clearly up for debate. If you do a quick search you will find many different viewpoints on what he was doing. Ultimately only Trump really knows if he was mocking the reporter or not and I

Also, on average people move houses every 7 years in the US (give or take based on age) and it is typical for the appliances to stay with the house. This means the original owner/buyer is pretty unlikely to see the appliance fail befor

They upgraded "Pro" accounts to "Advanced" accounts without cost changes for ~1 year. After that you will have to pay $4.25 more per month for the "Standard" plan in order to keep MFA. "To give you the mos

I think you drastically overestimate how much doctors and layers make. Just like most jobs, the highest salaries are the exception.

Say what you will about the conditions at places like Foxconn in China, but at least they provide food and shelter. I wonder if there is an opportunity for western companies to build factories on a smaller scale to Foxconn where employees l

I'm curious. You state that you are glad that it failed, but you don't know what happens next. What if there really is no plan B? If war resumes, is that a better result or is the assumption that that there really is a plan B? (I&

I doubt most people have a financial adviser. What percent of people even have savings more than a single paycheck?

But one of these is the market functioning correctly - people moving to places with good jobs. The other is the market being manipulated to serve the interests of a relatively small group of people - restricting housing supply.

Good point. I wonder what the numbers are on how this affects the returns for employees.
