Second this. To be more concise the groups I was in had a norm where you'd leave your door open if you were down to chat or BS. Cubes take that choice away.

Maybe I'm a bit contrarian on this one but once I saw data center, Azure, and the phrase "lift and shift" it filled in a lot of context for me. I spent a lot of my early to mid career participating in these strategies. They d

No. There are no conservatives in Portland's government. There have not been for a long time . There has been no one right of the Oregon Democratic party and a good chunk, if not most, have been left of that in recent times. It's

This letter is junk, to put it lightly. I lived in a rural area with copper lines that were destined to stay that way because of classist inaction by the FCC - one that rewarded cities with new, expanded internet lines repeatedly and requir

You're both sort of correct, but that also makes you both sort of wrong too. Homeless is in part composed of three things (in Portland): - Substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc) - Mental health (coincides with the above!) - Housing (w

It is a false label when there are no conservatives in Portland's government. That yields to two things: - This is just a common American tactic - There are other, less nefarious, reasons this happens Including conservatives in a conte

I disagree, falsely labeling things conservative is unproductive for the conversation of "what is going right or wrong in Portland, OR, USA". That's to say, context and the goals of discussion are important. We do a lot of

I live in Portland. Conservatives do not have anything to do with our city or the county of Multnomah. We haven't elected a conservative since the 80s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_McCready . We're

I use a credit card as a proxy against my bank account. That is the only reason I use it, because debit cards make it hard to appeal fraudulent transactions. If that capability is no longer there then my credit card is absolutely useless.

I'm sympathetic having worked in anti-fraud adjacent fields before, but this extreme pendulum swing - if that's what this indeed is - is at least inappropriate and at worst nefarious. All of my transactions go through this card;

There's also wails.io that is a much better alternative to Electron, imo, and uses native APIs for OS functionality. Added benefit: Wails is also cross platform.

An alternative is teaching people how to make simple chains of byproducts. Maybe even incentivizing doing so. I make a shot of Ristretto every morning from fresh beans in a hopper that's sealed by double layer gaskets. From that I get

I don't think this is very good advice. Enough of the companies that believe in testing by algorithms are smart enough to change their questions slightly for each candidate. I'm not sure, however, what if anything testing by algor

The article I linked shows the Lightning gets close to 100 miles per charge when hauling near the limit. My MPG certainly takes a hit, but not that big and my truck is about half the price and size of the Lightning.

I disagree. I have a Tacoma that definitely gets treated as a truck. The bed gets filled with stuff, I use the 4x4 every time I go through the Cascades, mountain passes, or washed out roads, and I've hauled closed to the limit with it

This is really smart imo. Portland uses tree cover near the roads to keep them cooler. This year the city put data to that idea and identified "heat islands" that occurred due to a large drop off in tree coverage. Similar study be
