Lord what a fawning article. They laid off plenty of engineers, including folks that apparently were necessary. I'm sure they laid off some folks who were doing very little work, but seems pretty clear they also laid off plenty of cont

I can't speak to the technology, but their CEO and marketing staff have been aggressively crapping on other clean energy sources. They also repeated a lot of lies about solar. I hope the tech is real, the people behind it seem like jer

Well tailored, high quality dress pants can be tremendously comfortable. More so than most jeans. Really the lesson here is people don't spend money on things they use twice a year. Also an important software engineering lesson! (Thoug

Oh you think resort fees are optional? That would make sense. No no, they're tacked onto every bill.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. When you say statements like the one noted above which aren't true, but I mean..."hey, it sounds like it could be true and do you want to take that risk?"

Actually asked a recruiter about this because I'd noticed the same. More people staying put, so fewer replies, so they are blasting out to a wider audience and loosening search criteria. It's a numbers game even more so.

I agree with your statement. To elaborate, the appropriate, though somewhat recently coined term, is CSAM - child sexual abuse material. Other coinage normalizes it or minimizes the damage from it.

in crypto land, you would never do that! You'd set up a smart contract to automatically move money from your wallet to his as milestones are hit in the project! It's beautiful! Maybe they could run off with your $1k upfront, but m

Thank you for this. It really is heartening to see amazing science done for its sake. Something not horrible for a change.

I've had my security team ask for this sort of thing before. I laughed at them and didn't send it because I understand the way this works, but they didn't and were following their new vendor requirements process. Get a swe in

There is no reason to floss twice daily. This doesn't even really make sense - what would you be flossing out in the morning upon waking? Flossing once per day is plenty. You also need not use a 'rubber pointy thing' - proper

What on earth were you doing for an hour in the morning?! Even today I can be out the door in 20 minutes and forget it, as a teen I probably could do it in 7. That is also, I think, an abnormally long bus trip, but maybe that's my bias

Ok, but I got a replacement card several years ago and it was really not too hard. Took a few minutes at the SSA office with my passport (advice is to get their obscenely early to avoid waiting), and then waiting for the mail. Took a while

The real question is what will he do if the court orders a fine or specific performance! Can't you just see him ignoring it...and daring them to...what, hold him in contempt? He's completely ignored the SEC already.

Check out kumospace. Start up with a really fun, functional solution to this problem. Maybe just a novelty generally but for a remote happy hour it was a game changer.

Strong suggestion for Tailwind. It's a smart garage door controller that was clearly built by engineers for engineers. Obviously myq was built by engineers, but clearly every aspect was designed by the marketing team.

C-Level executives and others regularly use these plans. They are designed for the use case of 'people who nearly always have MNPI'. The way it's done typically is 2-fold. 1) Immediately after a quarterly earnings release whe

So that's just 1 kind of stablecoin. The other is algorithmic - Terra was in that model. There are many excellent descriptions online, but essentially the backing entity buys and sells another coin (Luna in the case of Terra) whose val

Tons of great general suggestions here. But I want to chime in for the Tailwind garage door opener. It's very obviously built by engineers and for engineers. Install is harder than other options, but rock solid, zero maintenance unlike

Google Meet certainly stays on, but does not try to pretend it doesn't. Feature, not a bug. And this is google, who you know has no compunctions about data collection. The microphone volume icon continues to show movement based on nois

Nah, there's a boom and bust cycle to these industries. Prices go up, everyone exploits new wells and pours in money. Prices go down and a ton of folks go broke because the new wells are too expensive. You don't need any sort of c

Not sure why you're including the word 'technically,' in there - you are clearly and definitely committing tax fraud if you knowingly fail to include all of your financial information.

If you're ever in the flatiron district of NYC, I adore the signals at 23rd street. "The walk sign is on across 23rd street," is a simple message, but the gentleman who recorded it sounds like they remembered at the last minu

Most of the time these companies do hire people...they just generally lose people at almost the same rate. It's usually a sign of something negative, though (note - staying the same size is fine if that's your desire, but it'

I'm not even sure this is the future - the new hotness is car subscriptions. (though some of these are cool in that you can swap out a sedan for an SUV or convertible).
