I wish I spent more time on my appearance and then chasing girls. I thought it was stupid vanity. Now I'm too old.

Security is a point that hasn't been mentioned. My first job the corporate was barely attached to the internet. We could deploy applications internally with completely lax security, never had to worry about TLS or account management or

I spent the last 5 years learning reactive programming. I hate it. I'm looking forward to going back to something solid.

The problem is HR will do the basic like dates of employment but will never give a rating. Old managers probably have moved on.

I feel this is a reversing of the trend the last few decades. Asset prices dropping, tech in a hole, lowest earning workers getting the biggest raises.

I really meant who is doing the references. Its hard to confirm who was their old boss or colleague. Is hacker6969@gmail.com really their old boss? You could ask a Linkedin account but that has no guarantees either.

If you can fake an actual interviewer, asking for references is easy.

> the people who seem to be promoted are the 'climbers' - the ones who are looking for opportunities to get ahead, That makes sense to me. They want to actually be the manager. I'm above average developer and could make a

Crazy times it wasn't long ago that a pound bought over $2. The interesting thing this week is that the most fragile and indebted country that the EU has bailed out for 30 years straight (Italy) has elected a govt that doesn't lik

One of the problems is that its so dependent on government policy its difficult to predict. Eg right now France caps its electricity prices so power generators aren't making the profits they would in a free market. Also who knows what

I'd really like to see more variable pricing for households and businesses. Power should be cheap at midday on Sunny days, expensive when power is scarce. Its crazy to run an electric hot water heater in peak time in a heatwave, but mo

So many leaks I've given up caring. Actually I haven't had any fraud for a few years now, it feels like getting better? I do rely on Amex now which seems much easier to cancel any transaction.

Agreed, its really time to start buying reputable brands again. Or perhaps go to a shop and dont complain about retail markups. :)

This was a great show. I had great respect for Dre when everyone said he should bring out a shoe and he said he wore the same shoes every day, headphones though...

Amazon and other high volume low margin retailers are a is pretty good antidote "for this". Good shipped from manufacturer to consumer with smallest markup possible. Of course it kills service, local shopping, city taxes, retail e

I think I've found Flow to be possibly negative. Its like drug, after you do it a few times you end up chasing it. Doesn't really makes you happy, productive maybe but grumpy and annoyed to be interrupted. Turns you into a loner.

Not for me. One of the reasons to live downtown is to be close to the office, and to benefit from other people being around. If you dont have an office and the local shops and restaurants are closing, why live downtown?

You didn't mention what the degree is or why you're doing it. If you have a specific job you have in mind maybe ask HR if they think a masters were help. Maybe ask your boss or senior manager if they think it'll help you. Oth

I feel it does more than that too. If there is no technical security measures taken it seems less of an offense to cheat, if you see real effort to stop you it makes it feel more wrong even if you can get around it.

I always try to talk to everyone but I'm not sure its the right thing to do. The guy who talks the most is a manager who is worth tens of millions but talks and laughs with the Janitor, its nice but you know he'll never get invite

It was semi-snide in that crypto fans often complain about money printing but pretend crypto doesn't count. Often the biggest money bubbles are when a new type of credit is invented that isn't recognized.

Why worry about the Fed printing dollars when you can create magically create new cryptos and print those instead. Money supply measures should count crypto too.
