Digging is expensive the way it is done today, which is essentially artisanal scale. We get economies of scale at the municipal level. At least 2 neighborhoods in neighboring cities are doing it locally, more as tests but still doing it. Al

My dream is that municipal ground source heat pumps become popular. Let the municipal put and maintain wells (the major contributor to adopting ground source heat pumps) along streets and allow homeowners to tie in to the wells. Ground sour

I've always wondered if insurance companies do this but maybe I never hear about it. Like lobbying for safer urban design, or R&D into flame resistant building materials etc. Or maybe just purely investing in companies that do thos

No truth was told to the OP. You need to document your reasons why a PIP is needed. As someone points out in this thread, the whole point of the PIP process is to get a paper trail ready if Google is going to fire someone to avoid accusatio

Doesn't pass the smell test. Google managers should be sharing the areas that OP is underperforming with examples. It will be clear. There is no "My manager told me to arbitrarily pick someone" with no reason given. My best g

One take I haven't seen.. It's sort of like when otherwise successful "name brand" organizations offer unpaid internships (let's not get in to whether that's legal or not.) This selects for the type of people t

I get a significant cash bonus paid out in year 2 as well. They are just as committed to the bonus in both years as they are the base salary. I think I'm missing something here though.

It's prorated, a portion is paid out every pay check starting from day 1. It's just like normal base cash compensation but they call it a sign on bonus to hack around the low max base comp.

I don't follow. Are you saying Amazon might opt to not pay out the bonus as outlined in my offer letter for no other reason than a gotcha? I guess it's possible but highly unlikely...

by yanslookup 5y ago
This doesn't match my experience. I guess it depends on the role but for engineers it's well known Amazon has been throwing large sign on bonuses to close the vesting gap for years. For instance I received an offer that was 160 ba

How does it compare to depersonalization/derealization?

Grass is always greener for me but I often think if I could do it over I'd rather have children as early as possible instead of in my late 30s. I think if I had known how young late 30s and 40s actually is it may have resonated. Like,

I think you are missing the purpose of the services they provide. Why would it be necessary for them to prove their customers beat the S&P but not necessary for Schwab or TDA or Robinhood?

How is it validating? In an acquihire situation the company gets bought and then everything but the people is flushed down the toilet. You used to be working on AI powered eye glasses that could tell when fruit is perfectly ripe but now you

My original comment was too mean spirited, even for this alt account. I think what I meant to say is, Austen Allred does a good job of talking his book on Twitter. He also seems like a great Dad and partner.

For another data point, my wife and I live in Cambridge, MA we just hired a nanny for our 6 month old son at a rate of 23/hr for 30 hours per week (~35k/yr)... This was competitive with nearby day care center rates.

Question for the crowd: how to manage up a politically savvy skip manager that routinely trivializes engineering effort? They couch it in sarcasm, something like "oh you can build that in like 2 minutes, it's just an SQL query and

A rising tide lifts all boats... Or at least it should. What do you think the world looks like for the poorest in the world in the next 100 years? 300 years? Possibly/probably better than you or I have it now.

I thought that that was the point. Bezos covered over his kids drawing with a meaningless quote because he is that kind of a jerk.

This surprises me on so many different levels. To me, Rust is nearly the same thing as steveklabnik. Considering his level of engagement and enthusiasm I figured he was one of those people making easy SV money. Between this and Jess Frazell
