It depends on what you’re trying to do. This is part of why I suggest trying it for yourself, it’s very hard to get a good sense from what others can say. As for me, I wouldn’t replace my desktop with this personally (albeit I might get rid

Assuming you are interested strictly in productivity, probably not the best tool with those devices. However sunshine + moonlight does work quite well, so maybe? I use that combo for gaming.

I’m not an “Apple’s biggest fan”, I used an Android all the way up until 2021 (and even now possess both a pixel 7 and an iPhone 13). I bought this, and I am not returning it. I planned to return it and buy in another state (tax free), but

FAANG is not a person. Your director is. And your director wants to empire build, which means the average count and level of the org under them must rise, partially via promotions. I’m not sure why you came up with this statement, I’d lov

I appreciate your comment and anecdata, and I’m glad you commented here. That being said, I’m not sure whether it is you or I who does not know what “quasi” means.

The success of 20% projects is a quasi-myth. Gmail is often touted, but you would do well to look up the employee # at Google of the inventor. Point being, you need (very) early hire clout or your 20% project isn’t going anywhere either.

I would argue the more appropriate quote here is “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.”

Can someone knowledgeable explain this “tax dodge”? I was under the impression that the issue GP underlines (giving a contractor shirt/pencil) is more about avoiding misclassification and stems from a lawsuit by Microsoft contractors c

It’s a bit worrying that such damage could easily have occurred prior to taking custody of the car from the dealership…who looks under the car anticipating a possible $60k scratch?

Promotion at big orgs tends to be more of a game than anything else. Higher ups like empire building, and promotions (having higher level direct reports) increases their stature while also freeing up headcount at the now-vacant lower level

Indeed, and accepting that definition still fails to include extraterrestrial life. (The way that first sentence is written in TFA made me think of first contact). Anyhow, it’s too late for “AGI” and “superintelligence”, aside from the bagg

That’s my point though, they can clearly use your data to train as long as they don’t sell/share those models themselves, as per this contract. At the end of the day you can’t blindly trust your data is safe, even with a solid contract

It might be “trivial” but in my experience most engineers at these companies are too busy trying to look good in order to either survive the next cut (particularly egregious at Amazon) or get promoted, and fixing this does neither. As Charl
