The trick to surviving under such management is to jump in and put out other peoples' fires but not spend time preventing them even if you know how to.

Yes, I am a former AWS employee. I got put on Focus because my "contributions were not coming through" to leadership.

You overestimate how much people give shits at big techs like Amazon. When literally everything is driven with sticks instead of carrots, the work culture does not invite employees to proactively care about product quality. You'd be be

I honestly can't tell a good music video from a bad one. I don't know what makes a music video "good". These AI generated ones seemed pretty good to me, of the same caliber as those Michael Jackson or "Beez in the t

I don't believe in paying "towards" anything. Either you buy it or you don't, in full. Anything else is financially irresponsible, unless you have the collateral but are only preferring not to liqudate.

No, as in classical music. The analog kind.

No. There are many, many more taxes besides what your "effective" tax calculator reports. Every time it seems people have to come out of the woods to educate about "effective tax", but it's not really how it works,

I'm classically trained and I honestly can't really tell how these are worse than the human produced ones. They all look kinda the same to me.

If they didn't tax everyone so damn much, it would work out. They fix the toilet for $200, I need to earn $400 to have that $200, and the toilet repair person gets to keep $100 after their taxes. $400->$100 in one go. Government kee

Nah it's the reality here. I'd say minimum income to safely own housing here is $100K-150K/month. OR cash already saved for the home, in which case income doesn't matter. Yes, lots of households make that much, especia

You're not going to save up for a $1-2M house very fast on $7000/month, when you also have to live off that $7K, pay rent, pay medical bills, and save up for retirement expenses.

I promise you not. Houses here cost $2M+ for something livable and $1M for something with mold and other safety issues. When half that $50K gets taxed, half of what's remaining has to be saved up for retirement in a place that deeply d

It's interesting that $14000/month is "rich" on this website, and some people earning $100/month actually own houses. Meanwhile people making $50000/month in San Francisco can't afford a house because half

Which is worse because they all look sort of the same, but they are not the same. It's even worse for non-techies, who don't understand what a gbps or a watt is, and who will leave a 1-star review, or worse, trash their cable, bec

That cage is for stress relief, and should be federally mandated on all external connectors of all devices. Stress relief is a thing, people in the 2020s have somehow forgetten about it.

> 40gbps is an insane data rate that requires shielding, precision, and testing. There is no way you are getting that for $2. I dunno, Cat8 is 40gbps and pretty cheap. DOCSIS 4.0 does 10Gbps on some really ancient cables. I'm sure

It's also only a problem if they overcomplicate power delivery design such that you need expensive cables. They could have made it just DC +19V and GND over 14 gauge wire with a nice, outdoor-recreation-grade connector and called it a

If you want to cover all use cases your only option are the 240 W, 40 Gbps cables, and they are not cheap ( https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Supports-Display-Transfer-Charg... ).

The absolute worst is the rare Wi-Fi hotspots in China that require you to install an app in order to connect to the Wi-Fi.

It just doesn't sound professional, and I wouldn't want some "daddy" in a garage in charge of my domain name.
