They control your ability to work there. For some people these are the only kinds of jobs they can get, they are stuck there, trying to pay off the vehicle they got a loan for purchasing that they use in the job. They are kind of prisoners.

This is a fascinating area. Of we do have "materials" here that came from outside of our solar system because we all contain atoms with higher atomic numbers than helium, like carbon, oxygen etc, that have been through multiple so

I want him to be right about these potential alien artifacts. I'm glad we are least investigating them. I understand that it's vastly more likely that these things he's been arguing about recently are just uninteresting obje

Please explain your comment for the rest is us. Was that a sarcastic "it really happened because it made it to the chain" or a "we'll never know whether value was exchanged from one person to another because the owner of

Yeah, exactly. If everyone has gas stoves you need gas, if you have electric there can be more sources of energy, and to a certain extent electricity if fungible across multiple sources (if you have power plants).

I have lots of experience hiring people. Usually the people with certificates don't have much experience actually doing work or they have narrow capability. The cliche is putting them on your resume is not an indicator of general capab

I think you should check out google tv on the latest 4k version. Your review is almost like a sarcastic example of a lazy pro apple review. Some crap tv ui like that sony apparently is does not really say much about apple competitors. Apple

That fact is true, a fair point - when I left microsoft I left money behind but I got to go to a new faang job and left that ass ballmer behind ;-) But these friends were coming up on their 3 year anniversary I think. Amazon backloaded stoc

You are wrong. I grew up in the south and we absolutely talked about things that were basically biblical in nature. The source of morals, right and wrong. We are way past that now, with cons in florida openly passing a law that says you can

Social media use and restrictions related to that is absolutely a free speech impact. Posting on instagram or twitter is not free speech?

If someone is advocating for people to kill you, if they are saying swat them, say they are at this location send attackers over there - in the hope they get hurt... That's just not acceptable. That's what's been happening w

I worked back at microsoft when gates was still there. we had saturday meetings all the time. Like a couple of times a month. I was routinely doing work at 11pm trying to get things checked in before midnight. This was before gates had kids

Search for flipper device. It's a fun looking hacker tool with multiple radios for different kinds of devices (think door openers, security scanners) and in their videos looks like easy to use and program. It's apparently a russia

That is high pay - you interrupted my expected post of saying other companies pay well. Most big companies (faangs but not just them) I've worked in have paid interns pro-rated wages slightly below a minimum starting pay, so maybe the

But what reason is there to believe that the synology software stack isn't doing the same scanning of your texts, photos, whatever you put there. What happens if synology decides you did something illegal or 'bad' whatever th

Yes, this is an incredible article. Historians must weep at our idiocy. We are exactly as those New Orleans rich slave owners were then, such a terrible synchrony between yellow fever and covid. We are just the same, even though we think we

Another parallel to these tensions between free speech, commercial responsibilities and rights is a kind of tension between the ability to be anonymous on the internet (on social networks especially) and the inability to track down dangerou

Interesting, I never heard of the non-lucrative visa! So is the only real cost (1) you can't work and (2) you are subject to Spanish income and wealth taxes? I see from an ad, you have to have 28k euros in your bank account for a year,

Most states are not clearly red or blue. Most all of the big cities are blue, most of the countryside is red. Even texas is not 65% conservative on voting; less than 5% shift and it would be a tossup or democratic. Maybe a few states like w

Buy in to one of the 3 euro countries with "golden visas", Portugal, Greece, Spain are reasonable - Portugal is a 300k investment to get a visa, but I think it takes 3 years. Then you can live there, have health insurance.

Probationary periods are good for companies, but they're horrible for early stage engineers. They don't know how to take it, and they probably don't have a lot of money saved up. I think if companies decide to fire someone af

Of course a big reason they expire is so the registrars can get money from you registering them, they aren't providing much service. A much more sensible system is they wouldn't expire. The domain registration industrial complex,

I feel like your brewery examples doesn't support your thesis. In brewing we have a couple of mega breweries. There are thousands of upstart local breweries. They have trouble distributing beer because most states have enforced useless
