My guess is the ideal candidate is mid 20s and recently left the armed forces in an IT role so they're used to making peanuts for this kind of thing, and hey, a month in Vegas sounds fun. Plus they have a recent security clearance so y

There are also cases where government regulations prohibit hiring non-citizens. Given that they're offering $100/hr when they're losing $8m/day, I expect that MGM would LOVE to hire anyone willing to work for below marke

This happened in NYC in the 1980s, people would stand at stoplights with a squeegee and offer to clean your windshield for money. If you refused, they'd wipe your windshield with an oily rag.

The only people interested in this story are people who don't care about martial aarts. AFAIK Musk has no formal training in any MA. Zuck is a BJJ blue belt I believe. BJJ (Zuck's training) is mostly a ground game. BJJ matches are

A lot of people talk about the money, but here's some other factors: Schedule - shifts start at 6AM or earlier. I knew a guy who worked concrete, he'd have to show up at 4AM to load the mixer. I knew another guy who majored in con

Thank you for this point this is really interesting. I had a friend who is a recovering alcoholic living in TX. He would talk about going to get CBD gummies, and sometimes he'd say something about "wow, I took too many, I got mess

Maybe it's just the positions I've ended up in, but my DE roles have required a TON of ops as well. You can build all these pipelines, but you will be absolutely buried in operational work if you can't get the automation squa

I worked at AA/Sabre in the mid 90s, straight out of college, although I was working on the PC side on the software they put in travel agencies. I left just after AA spun Sabre off into a separate public company. The mainframe software

It's my sincere hope that when all this is over, Matt Levine writes a book about the Twitter acquisition and names it "Clowns at the Gate".

When one looks at the industry as a whole, one might conclude that the aim is to turn the working class against each other. It's almost as if the thing corporate America is most afraid of is a unified workforce.

I don't question their premise, I believe that it happens. So remove clout, it's a feature to create network incentives for people who need an incentive.

So remove clout. SO did it because they wanted network effects from a collection of people that needed incentive to contribute.

My personal opinion is that Slack is a terrible medium for long term info exchange, acronym notwithstanding. I work for a company where we have almost 2 public channels for every full time employee, and that's not counting the private

I moved to Denver a couple of years after DIA opened. I _hate_ DIA, it's an awful airport. The stupid train. The insane security lines. Baggage takes forever to come out. AUS? Great airport. PDX is a dream. SBA is my absolute favorite,

They're referring to unemployment benefits. I was surprised to find out that a friend's kid has been collecting them for a year - this person has a STEM degree and lost their job due to a fire at work, not COVID. Doesn't matt

“There’s nothing that DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats do that can’t be replicated locally and operated at a much lower cost,” Sewell says. “There’s no need to send all this money to a bunch of venture capital-backed firms in California and

I'm pretty mindblown that after seeing what happened to 4chan/8chan, they didn't forsee this day coming. My theory is that Parler _wanted_ this to happen, so they could raise a stink / file a court case. The founder is a

This is just like the late '90s, up to 9/11 when day trading was the rage. Now it's back in fashion, low-key. I had never heard of /r/wallstreetbets or Robin Hood (well, barely) until a couple weeks ago.

I know many artists and musicians. "Good business owners" is not that demographic, generally. The general theme here is a short half-life. You're advocating for shorter rollover - public domain after 7 years. I believe societ

Also in the US they'll use left side exits, which pushes exiting traffic to the "fast" lane. Drives me crazy when road designers do this. I think this also varies state-to-state, I recently drove from Colorado to Texas and it

Well, that harkens back to when generic brands were big in the 1970s, they were intentionally extremely plain to get across the point that it's no-frills. http://historysdumpster.blogspot.com/2012/08/generic-p

Neat, I work on AWS all day so my main concern is "Which system am I on, DEV, QA, PROD?", so I modified my prompt to tell me that. Git status would be a cool addition too.

That's possible though I know some people who own a mattress store and I'd be astounded if they were into money laundering. Tangentially, someone once told me that vending machine companies are havens for money laundering. It&#x27

I believe that this is because historically VRBO had a listing fee but they didn't have a booking fee and didn't take a cut of the booking. AirBnB I believe takes only a cut of the booking, so it costs nothing to have a listing an
