I have a 6s that's still on 10. Reading this and other comments make me think that maybe 12 won't be too bad. There's a few apps out there that I use that don't work with 10 anymore and so this may be the time for me to upgrade.
I have been developing software for 12 years. I can't show you anything that I've worked on because it has all been internal tools. I can talk about what I've built, but I can't show it to you or show you any code.
The IRS has guidelines on who is considered an employee. If you set their hours, provide equipment for them to use and there's a few other things I forget, they are a de-facto employee regardless of how you pay them: 1099 or W2. This is why a lot of larger companies will not employ sole-proprietors directly. They require you to either go through a contracting company or set up some corporate structure so that you can't claim to be one of their employees.
If you're only washing your clothes maybe but 11 hours a week sounds reasonable if one person is washing clothes for a family + hanging/collecting/folding
> You are being hyperbolic here, but cones around a puddle warrants a discussion.
Maybe not putting safety cones but I recently saw 5 workers fixing some box looking component at a station. One was doing something to the box. One was holding down the 3 foot step ladder. One was shining a flashlight at the box and two others were standing behind the flashlight holder looking at the box. I wish I had taken a picture.
I fly US-South East Asia a couple times a year. Economy fares are around $1k(or $500-800 the last few months). Business class fares can be had for about $4-5k. Premium economy for around $1,500-2,000. My problem with premium economy is that for 50%-100% more than the economy fare, you're not getting much. Slightly(1-2") larger seat and pitch. Slightly better food. Earlier boarding. I wish they would have something in the $2,000-2,500 price point with those recliners that you find in domestic first class. I'd definitely pay that much for it.
Not anymore, at least the NYC stores don't. They take your phone in and give it back to you in a couple of hours(depending on how busy they are). That's how they did it when I had mine replaced last week. The 5th Ave store didn't have any batteries in stock so I had to either wait a few days or go to a different store that had them.
Small to mid-size funds may not be able to get away with charging 2-20 but larger, more established funds still can regardless of size. Tudor was charging 4-23 on one of its funds. Not sure if that's still the case since they were down a bunch this past year.
I work around a 5 min walk from both Apple & Microsoft stores. When my old Thinkpad laptop died, I went over to the Microsoft store and got a Surface Pro. Much more convenient than waiting for one to be delivered. The annoying thing with the Microsoft store is that you can't order online and pick up in-store. I did the same thing when buying my iPhone. Ordered it online and picked it up in store a few hours later. If you have the store close by, you can get your stuff much quicker.
Yup, I use them a lot of in Excel. Outside of Excel, End to go to the end of the line and Home to go to the beginning. Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End to go to the beginning/end of a file.
I really wanted to like the SB but I didn't like that it doesn't have a full keyboard with End, Home, PgUp, PgDown. It's not that there isn't space to include them. I ended up returning it. For something that I paid $3k for it was a dealbreaker.
A lot of times, airlines sell tickets based on where the ticket is issued for multiple reasons. If you read some fare rules for these country/region restricted tickets, it'll say something like "valid only when ticket issued in Japan" which leads to people trying to get a flight ticketed on a region specific site of orbitz/expedia/some-airline.co.jp
At financial institutions I've worked at, if you're getting fired you are taken to a room (managers office, conf room etc.) and immediately escorted out of the building after. No returning to your desk at all. Someone else will gather the belongings that you need and bring them like wallets/handbags. The rest of your stuff will be mailed/couriered to you later after someone has had the chance to go through them to make sure that there is no IP in them.
I don't think HBS would be the best dataset to use though:
1. The CTO position probably didn't exist until the 90s so you'd need to restrict your dataset to something more recent
2. HBS doesn't generally attract tech people. All of the people that I know that went to HBS(~20) work in finance/consulting/non-profit. Some came from a tech background. Stanford may be a better choice. That was the vibe I got when I attended MBA info sessions at HBS and Stanford. Columbia had sort of a mix.
And here I am still stuck on WinForms grids. WPF is too slow and the JS frameworks just spin endlessly when I try to throw the amount of data I need to display at them.
A lot of people here are harping on ineffective recruiters but it really depends on the industry. As a programmer in finance, pretty much no one posts job openings. Sell-side may but buy-side definitely doesn't. Using your network or going through a recruiter are the only real avenues to finding a job in this industry. Outside of new college grads, I've never met anyone that was hired from applying for a job directly through a company's site.
