> had it not worked out, well I would not be around to regret it The consequences would have been borne by your spouse, family, friends, the rangers who came to retrieve your body. This is such a young male take on dangerous activities.

I specifically bought a Samsung 'digital signage' display instead of a 'TV' because that was the closest I could find to a dumb TV, and I have the same experience. There is an accept terms & conditions popup that req

I feel like I am going to regret this post, but anyway... I am a woman in tech, and the whole thing feels slimy. I found it really creepy and couldn't watch more than a couple of minutes- I couldn't tolerate the voice changer for

Everyone is NOT getting a refund, only purchases through the Google store are being refunded, if bought hardware from Best Buy etc. you are not.

For people renting it is routine to receive mail for several previous tenants. Everytime you throw away a credit card sign-up offer for someone else, you are committing a felony.

You don't take the bus, it probably is 45mins. You are not including time walking to/from the bus stop at both ends. Time spent waiting for the bus- this is probably the biggest one. Time for people getting on and off at bus s

There's not a lot of chains in the bay. This is really the most basic one I have been to.

At the Baskin Robbins closet to SF (Daly City) a single scoop is $3.59. After tax that's pretty close to $4 for the most chain-est ice cream I could think of. (The DQ doesn't have photos of their menu on Google maps).

The grocery store is always going to be cheaper. $4 is the low end of a single scoop in the bay area. And not for some hipster, plant-based organic ice cream either, this is at a regular parlor like Fenton's.

Everything else the OP listed is project and product management. You can get devs to project manage, you can't get project managers to write code.

If software engineering is not the 'hard part', why are dev salaries so high?

The author is extremely naieve if he never considered that candidates would Google the solution. How did they make it through the rest of the interview process, let alone years of working there, without him noticing that they actually could

You didn't even mention all the straight scam advertisements you have to wade through. Next time I move I am going to hire a PA to handle searching and making viewing appointments.

I think the OP is referring to the kind of thing you might find in frontend code, like maintaining state for things like isVisible, isExpanded, isSelected.

Yeah, I don't get the point of this article, seems like venting mostly. They obviously resent being a 'designated driver on demand' but this is basically what an Uber driver is. It is also completely their choice to drive at

Health insurance is not pro. At a big four I am paying ~$50/month for great health insurance, freelancing it was 650 from Covered California and involved repeated heated calls to every party involved.

I am one of those people. If even sip something with stevia in it I am going to be trying to get the taste out of mouth for hours. It makes me want to scrap my tongue off. It was truly the worst thing I have ever consumed. It has only happe

Yes... But the first chapter the OP is talking about is truly horrifying, I honestly wish I hadn't read it. His other book New York 2041 also deals with climate change and is less traumatizing.

It's not just 10 minutes. It's every time you go to a new country, having to figure out what the local pay as go is called, finding somewhere to buy a sim, picking a plan, figuring out how to reload. Likely none of this is in your

Fi has data roaming for 10$/GB, free after 6GB (speed reduced after 15GB, unless you opt-in to pay extra). This is actually the normal Fi plan- there are just no roaming charges. This is single #1 reason why I am on Fi, no more messing

Sure, but everything except furniture packs down small enough to basically fit in a car and can be lifted by one person. So moving is way easier.

What are suggesting, that squatting is going to make a comeback? Without the same legal protections it has in Europe, I don't see it becoming widespread.
