Sounds like a effort to quiet fire a bunch more people to me.

So these points address the "traction" part of your appraisal. What makes the role or working for them great?
514.
by uberman 2y ago
What exactly seems great? I ask because from what you have provided here, they seem craptacular to me. Do they give you 6 weeks of mandatory vacation? Do they pay you 40% more than an equivalent job at a 5 days per week company?

Yes, that is a better one for the actual list of alternatives. The one I mentioned has a little "history" blurb talking in broad strokes about source control from the 1960s onward.

There was several generations of source control before git came on the scene. Wikipedia has an overview here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control

Perhaps not the best match for some patients but I would not begrudge a seriously ill cancer patient a medicaid cheeseburger. In fact, when my mother in law was dying of liver failure, her doctor told her to eat mcdonalds to keep her appeti

A 501(c)3 requires at least 50 employees? That would surprise me if it was true.

Perhaps they had an advanced notice and have made changes, but the pre-print was published only two days ago. I'm guessing they asked for only a single result, got the female one and called it a problem.

They were based in Tennessee when she made $280k. When they were based in the bay area, she made just shy of $370k.

Just going to note that all of that was one person's salary. I question why a smaller non-profit based in Tennessee would need to pay their CEO almost 300k. Senior researchers where I work make half that while managing grant projects w

I think their research is flawed. Given their prompt: Could you imagine a potential writer for this phrase? "I love playing fotbal! Im practicing with my cosin Michael" I need a name, an age, and a gender and asking for 10 answe

When does he plan to retire? After paying for his MBA what salary jump does he expect? How much will he pay for his degree? These answers will give a sense of worth it from a financial perspective. Admittedly, there could be many non financ

I think it is a great optimization. My point is that they can reduce the cost by 92% which is less than 1x (a fantastic optimization) but if they reduce the cost by 1x (100%) it would mean that the service would be free. Reducing the cost b

What stack are your devs using now? Are you sure this is a question you should even be asking at this point? I would almost certainly use whatever stack made my dev team most efficient and if demand was there use resource scaling to bridge

While I can't comment about football specifically, I can comment about very high level play in the sport I coach. If I had to speculate, it would be that a good team and goalie will review film of attackers at work and will know how th

Important findings, but I'll note that the favorable results are quoted in percentages like 20% better while the unfavorable results are quoted in multiplicatives like 5x more likely... This one of the first ways one is taught how to l

This is an excellent observation. In fact, when learning to draw from reference photos, I would invert them and likewise draw inverted. This allows one to see the trees not just the forest.

Rightly or wrongly, people (in general) have been conditioned to believe that digital information is free and thus will not actively pay for it. There are some notable subscription based consumer services (mostly entertainment based) that h

I assume they just take the money. Just like facebook allows random pages to be tagged as government orgs. That said, perhaps they are a sole proprietor and that would be a legit business.

I pretty much only tip at sit down places now. I dont tip at the coffee shop, but then again I just drink black coffee so there is nothing to do other than fill up the cup and I'm not going to tip for that. Why do you tip at the coffee
