You can select "Do not recommend this channel" as one of the options when you see content you don't want to surface anymore. It's not as good as a block, but it does help remove some clickbait algo trash from your feed.

I didn’t read the article but my infant is teething and I didn’t sleep last night - but this article is terrible right? Hand-drawn charts? Discuss. (I did read the article)

Unsure what is possible but perhaps remote tier 2-3 technical support for some might be an option? Potentially for a federal agency that hires contractors for such purposes? Often hard to find people that can do the job right, and I’d imagi

This is the right answer. Drug use (outside the past 12 months) should not rule you out for clearances.

This response is a really bad idea, and I think the security office people that recommend this are actually compromising security by making value judgments about what is and isn't relevant to background investigators based on their own

I'm in favor of anti-trust initiatives, and I like startups. That said, there were (anecdatally) a large number of people on here (founders?) for awhile (maybe still?) that subscribed to the Thiel school of ~"first to the monopoly

I believe the OP meant growth of revenue, and ideally of profit. Layoffs in that case would actually be an improvement.

Agencies do not make laws, full stop. Agencies are empowered by congress via laws to regulate industries. These regulations can be challenged in court as to whether they have overreached the scope of their regulation written in the original

Same here - I think it’s more photosensitivity than anything else that makes Dark mode better for me. As for astigmatism - I’d say wearing your glasses so you don’t strain / squint and stress your muscles is probably the best way to av

Most certainly not at an all time low. This article makes it clear that there is a lack of worker supply. As a result workers have a huge amount of leverage and have left for other better jobs. RE Powell: for inflation to go down wages like

Automating policy always ends up manifesting all of the crufty, imprecisely implemented “people” and policy issues of an organization, just using computer UIs. This often restricts these kinds of systems from UI / user delight greatnes

FWIW in my American experience most everyone I know has one and uses it, so your mileage may vary.

Yeah - as someone that has run production search clusters before on technologies like Elastic / open search, deep pagination is rarely used and an extremely annoying edge case that takes your cluster memory to zero. I found it best to

Perhaps, but I’m sure there’s a forced arbitration clause buried in a EULA somewhere…

Probably just need to gut it out for a couple road trips and try not to show the kid how stressed out you are while it’s happening - kinda like a thunderstorm. It gets better. Good luck. Intermediate tactics: white noise in the back seat, m

This article’s doing a bit too much, primarily by calling out that famous actors whom we recognize and care about should act like nobody will remember them, which is a bit of a dubious premise. You’re better off reading Camus. This article

As another avid and also terrible disc golfer please build this app so I can salvage my favorite plastic. Even better maybe help me track down those errant field work throws that I forgot about? :)

Good point. I also can’t help but notice their CEO monetizes almost entirely on YouTube with scary pockets and other videos.

Sure, but imagine if Google was really good at something that was inefficient, like 8-11 week passport generation using old techniques and then try to change it? The larger the org the harder it is to change in big ways (at least in my expe

Passport services and the Bureau of Consular Affairs are normally funded out of fees, so agreed funding politically is less of an issue, FWIW.

The bureau of consular affairs is funded by passport fees most of the time. They started losing a billion plus per year during COVID. This isn’t necessarily a problem of anti-statism as much of resources. Nobody wants their passport fees to

Everybody always forgets the last line: “Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me o

What's the website equivalent of Dave? Surely it has to exist somewhere? Maybe it's not personalized for you but it's close enough for a lot of people? I've visited a TON of taste-making sites and some used to be OK at s

US Congress is explicitly elected. OP mentions UNelected bureaucrats. I have many years of experience as an unelected bureaucrat at the federal level.

Fascinating. Thanks. It's not surprising to see some of these types of things getting thrown out in the end when challenged by someone on the other side of the agreement.

TIL Record Labels were double dealing the license vs. purchase royalties. That's really sad, and I'm glad somebody finally made some case law out of this that will benefit artists moving forward. EDIT: I forgot it was settled out
