Their point was that most people already have the technology they need, and getting the latest shiniest thing isn't as much of an issue.

So we should accept facial recognition in public because there are people who don't care?

You could've won if you skipped 5, which was eliminated in the first guess.

Are you not on Linkedin? This self-aggrandizing cringe is 95% of the content in the feed, I'm always amazed people can write this with a straight face.

You really think your ISP reserves 300Mbit of their bandwidth just for you? I got curious and checked the local IX (smaller EU country), one of the largest ISPs has 4x100G connections, but their combined maximum ingress+egress almost never

Maybe in SF, but in London you'll often see recruiters working for hedge funds which offer pretty much the best compensation around.

What you described can just as easily be done on-site. Remote work merely lets these people actually do something they might enjoy instead of sitting in a chair and pretending to work for 8 hours. I’ve met people likely this and they’d rath

Having a UK limited company when your tax residence isn't in the UK is quite complicated. I actually had a tax advisor strongly advise against doing that when I left the UK.

Yes, 120k is easy via contracting in London, however almost none of those contracts accept EU applicants even if the role is fully remote.

The “proper malware analysis” had me cracking up. I really hope they didn’t pay any significant amount of money for that.

If you found them interesting it would take literally a single search to find out.

I find it hilarious how Americans think restaurant/bar staff is almost exclusively entitled to getting more money than what they signed up for, courtesy of the customer. Do you give other minimal wage workers tips? Cashiers, cleaners,

They don't need to manage payroll in another country. Everybody working overseas does so as a contractor which means it's just another expense for the employer.

The moment I see an ad on Netflix is the moment I unsubscribe. I’d rather spend time digging through sketchy torrents than watch ads in something I paid for.

About 8 tech employees where I am in Europe. And that's after all the additional costs apart from salary.

This video game comparison is super incorrect. If you own an item in a game it’s very often to show it off because others can’t use it, it’s only for you. The closed source nature of games enables this. Nobody would buy them if they were ea

Both paracetamol and ibuprofen are sold as generic medicines, so I really don't think being lucrative is the reason. I had a quick look through some pain relief pages on the UK's NHS website, and every time a drug is referenced by

It's their whole sales pitch - "hire the top 3% freelance talent". You're not getting in through a casual 30 minute conversation.

None of the people I know even take aspirin as a painkiller. Blood thinners seem like a strange first choice.

I was worried about the legality of using real cars in your game. Then I noticed what it generated from the picture of a G-wagon.

As I said, I was talking about the A320. You get alpha floor protection which triggers TOGA thrust even with the autothrottle disabled. I would have hoped newer Boeings offered similar protections, the 737 always struck me as being super &q

You're talking about a GA aircraft autopilot, modern airliners go way beyond that. I don't know about the 777 but I believe all newer Boeings are FBW. Airbus has been FBW since forever. I'm mostly familiar with the A320 but t

How is he a strong character? The only strong characters I've ever seen were other people in the comments, and I'm surprised he hasn't disabled them years ago.

If you're around SF then very probably yes. Outside of the US very probably no.

The 777 has a flap load relief system and should retract the flaps at 216 knots. Don't know if it works this early during takeoff.

Except for the first one these all seem like a good reason for leaving, why would you hold that against someone?

People work somewhere to make money... shocker! Unless you're some sort of non-profit or a real pioneer in a certain field (SpaceX?), your employees will be there mostly for the paycheck. People aren't interested in making a meani
