Because it's not "just a few minutes". It's the time to learn how to make it well; it's the cooking equipment to make it well, consistently; it's the navigation of an ever-shifting retail environment with way t

You got off easy. I once had to apply for a clearance for an admin assistant position, coming out of college (which was certainly overkill; I never once came into contact with classified material, with the closest I ever got being walking p

>I do not understand Well, that's an easy fix. Ask your employer to cut your salary to ~$20k-$30k. Tell them that you're going to be in the office at 7 on-the-dot, and he can write you up if you're 5 minutes early or late;

I'll be back in 5-10 years when the devs get over themselves and the application actually reflects the "simplicity, elegance, and usability" that it purports to. This may come off as unfair, but I say it as an artist who vivi

If a large number of people who are already credentialed for a job get it, and then quit soon after, why would it be rational for someone to spend their own time and money pursuing unpaid training in the hopes of also being hired onto that

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. (That said, it's one that you didn't bother to support, so I'll just tap my previous reply and be on my way.)

I imagine that we would disagree mightily on quite a few things, but this I do feel is mostly accurate. I think a key and missing component of the way American society is structured is a real way for people to (for lack of a better term) up

Until one of them walks into your grocery store or your child's classroom and unloads a few clips out of his AR-15, I would hazard to guess. That's the more extreme outcome, of course. You also have, "heavily influencing a su

"Low skill" is often also something of a misnomer. Many are highly-skilled, but have difficulties navigating the social environment of both employment and self-employment. Neurodivergent people often fall into this category. Other

From my perspective, trades are effectively gatekept (somewhat purposefully but also as a function of the business). It's a damned-if-you-do/don't situation with licensing headaches on one side, and the prevailing reliance on

"The global nature of the problem" is also an assumption; there is the chance that, should oral histories in West and Central Africa have survived, or more was known about surviving, undeciphered Mesoamerican and Andean records, w

That's not an unfair assumption to make, but it is an assumption, since no records pertaining to conditions in Africa or South America are mentioned (or Australia and on Pacific islands, for that matter). That's where my despair

The same kind of posters came out of the woodwork when Kobe died. Several posts with dozens of replies each were flagged to death, such that there wasn't really a place to discuss it on HN. An unfortunate side effect of tech being a sa

Your definition of "quite negative" and mine are very different. When it comes to situations like this (regarding a young man, his criminal misbehavior, and insitutional response to that behavior e.g., mass shooters), I generally

That's an anecdote (regarding a single market that's known to be an outlier). Meanwhile, my experience squares with GP's. Rents don't have to follow S+D because downturn concessions can be covered by "specials"

There are plenty of people from generationally-marginalized families and communities who would love to be hired for positions where they'd be well-compensated while developing valuable skillsets. They're fine with the work being d
