I happily hire ICs that have been successful in the past at Amazon; they tend to have high output, good analytical / soft skills, and are generally pretty happy to not be at Amazon anymore. the middle management layer is way more mixed

The answer is that Amazon pays well and carries prestige on your resume, just not compared to other FAANG or other USA startups that are at the forefront of tech. The company also has significant growth opportunities compared to mid-sized s

Earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years, about 1/3rd of the age of the universe. If another technological civilization that is more advanced than us by even 1M years is watching earth, and suddenly this planet starts spittin

My Instant Pot-branded Instant Pot is pretty much useless as a slow cooker. Unfortunately, I donated mine upon getting the Instant Pot before realizing this. Maybe newer models have fixed this but the three times I tried, had to end up pr

AHK is the only reason I miss Windows (being on Mac presently). I had dozens of system-wide text expansions and optimizations. Also, a num lock toggle every 9 minutes to keep my screen awake. Text Shortcuts on Mac is limited and unreliable,

I think I've seen this guy appear on at least a half dozen shows and podcasts including Lex, Tim Ferris, Sam Harris, Fresh Air, TED Radio, Hidden Brain... seems like 5 years or so ago he was everywhere. This site lists 67 appearances:

I don't think this was the case as I wasn't a Buzz user. And yes, it wasn't _really_ a social platform, but you could share items from your own feed to other mutuals and converse under the thread that you (or they) shared.

Arguably many "Oscar movies" are not that great. There are often good films nominated but I am always surprised to look back post-1980s or 90s and see how many fairly mediocre films, many of which have since receded from critical

My workflow for the past year has been develop/analyze in Rstudio and port to Python when ready to deploy to production. Notebooks and VSCode still feel cumbersome to me and not designed as an analytics-first solution. The time neede

Amazing headline. It reminds me about a joke from a Futurama episode, from the late 90s, while Fry is channel surfing intergalactic cable, "Sheesh... 40,000 channels and only 150 of them have anything good on."

Depends on what attributes you attach to the word "normal" but I somewhat agree. The bad version tracks with "incurious" or "credulous" for me, the good version is aligned with "emotionally stable" o

Cool to see this still being developed. I used to use gPodder back in the 2000s to tag and organize podcasts, rename the files based on the feed metadata and tag the genre as 'podcast' so that I could segment that content on my S

My Airpods pro are the only consumer good I've purchased that on a dollar per utility basis, outranks the previous #1, my bicycle. Before, it seemed silly to have $200 headphones that could fall out of your ears and disappear. The pro

NASA’s budget for 2022 is about $24 billion or roughly $145-$150 per working person. Perhaps a lot of money depending on what you think should be prioritized. personally I think it’s hard to argue that they aren’t delivering something of h

I don't agree with GP but there are legitimate reasons why people are sympathetic to this. One reason would be the increased difficulty of a government to seize or freeze assets for people who are determined to be politically problemat

I can remember having a similar experience the first time I read it. Although I saw value in it, it seemed weird. I later recommended it to people who found it just too bizarre or radical to get through. Coincidentally I just finished the
