Ok, then fire them from not improving quarterly expectations. Seriously -- this is a real functional system that can work. You're acting like C-level accountability is an edgy suggestion. It very much isn't.
I live in the midwest and cold is normal for a chunk of the year, but one thing always worse than cold: wind. After college at some point I splurged on a North Face jacket with the wind protection bit and it was eye popping how much more tolerable being outside became. I always go for a nicer coat/jacket now -- the value brands at the department stores don't always have the right technology. Good outdoor gear is spendy, but lasts a very long time and is very effective.
YES! I thought, well say "yes" to my list of technologies I'm familiar with. If you want to hear more about how I acquired those skills, you could ask...like with a process of engaging with applicants. Let's call it an interview.
Something about this just really turns me off. I think it's the comments about indigenous people living without power. Returning to nature ideology seems to always be appealing to city-dwellers. Previous humans didn't overcome nature or become "one with it". Nature killed them carelessly – unaware of their suffering or even their existence. The biggest advantage humans had over nature was our ability to go unnoticed. We didn't thrive; we survived. Would you use the homeless people scrabbling for limited supplies at the food kitchen as your motivation to go off grid?
I'm all for individual action in the face of climate change. I think people who practice having a minimal impact on their surroundings are more likely to take that mindset to their work and affect change in the world as a cohesive unit with a shared understanding. In that sense – well done to the author. I think we should advocate for thriving while having less of an affect on nature.
Despite what people might tell you the only market for crypto is "vibes". You can tell the bad bones of the market since a single idea (Bitcoin) got renamed "crypto" -- a word short for cryptography which has nothing to do with these currency systems.
I'm not sold on cash being in our longterm future, but I can tell you the blockchain backed free from corporate overlords is also not in the tea leaves. If you're defending crypto today and hoping for a resurgence you are definitely not going to like the resulting success if it ever does come. It will be part of a corporate hellscape or a tool backed against some sick merit system -- who knows.
Money systems cannot be improved to help people. They are only useful to the people in power.
Every mind sees things different. The artist struggles to put that to a medium. The successful expression of their vision is extremely common, but the ability for anyone to even iterate on another artist's work is basically nonexistent. Even with AIs cranking out art, the obsessed will continue to fight to share their mind.
THIS! It's a company that's not keeping on top of things! Overworked managers, HR doesn't have a queue, whatever, but it is unlikely employees magically escape these issues.
Yes, I noticed this too. Also note that throughout the 80s and 90s the grid handled the new transformer upgrades without any sort of national catastrophe. In my mind this hand wringing serves to provide arguments for the anti-EV crowd. The bigger issue might be the climate change demands of additional days for cooling, reduction of hydro electric, etc.
This is one of the grossest series of discussions on work and life that I've ever seen. OP, please stop shilling for corporations. 10x isn't real and training for any end is completely subjective person to person when it comes to technical skills. Do a good job on whatever you do and focus on improving things while accomplishing your goals both in work and personal life.
I think the pilots focus on simulators to manage controls not learn to fly per se. I know there's a lot of overlap in the concepts, but it can be as simple as: flying is more complicated so you have to add extra steps to deal with situations appropriately.
I read two pop books this year that were way better than I expected.
Circe by Madeline Miller. This is a fantastic genre defining classic. This book gave me BIG emotion.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Obviously, everyone should read this, it's great. I would insist that white Americans born between 1980-2000 especially consider it. It's a quick read and the insights are profound. It's a book I would buy a box of and pass out to people who I think would either enjoy it or benefit from reading it.
Amazon has never paid dividends to investors. Its only value is to invest against interest rates or inflation. In fact, if investors wanted dividends it might upset the ability of Amazon to provide its objective. It's stable, but only philosophical. This isn't a land investment or something. It's an extension of a long term trend of consumerism.
In your situation was the debt ever going to last 30-40 years? I imagine that your ability to pay off an apartment purchase within a few years means that even with planning to leverage interest rates you still would have had the means to invest and pay slower on the debt while ALSO beating the term of the loan. I'm making assumptions, but I'm genuinely curious - I promise!
You control the rate of money returned in beating the term of your home mortgage. You don't control the rate of gain in the markets. If you want to balance it you could just pay slow at first and pay into an investment account with extra money. At year, idk 10 (just pick) -- pay off your home mortgage aggressively. That's my 2-cents. Doing the math on things like cars, homes, investments -- beating the system is incidental. Much less in your control than you think. IDK maybe you'd end up with $5k more in 2040.
The ISP in your area could be an unnatural monopoly. In my experience these companies have lobbied out local providers and bought all the competition to make them the only offerers in some areas. It happens more in rural US. The issue also crops up with gas stations in towns and then again with dollar stores as well, in this case they are replacing grocery stores.
Traditionally the federal government would crack down on unnatural monopolies so that's why you don't typically see them, but look at the regional level and you can spot them.
Second this. I would guess the number of iPhones with Google Maps installed is less than 20% just thinking through people I know. Of course some of those older relatives also don't use online maps so this number might be misleading.
Technical writing. It would probably be best when paired with an academic reading course where you learn to read the academic papers on computer science. "Foundations in Computing: Reading & Writing"
Each assignment could be a process of writing a summary and then breaking down a component of the paper into a diagram and walkthrough process. Writing in this case would have to involve more than just words too. You could do a section on diagraming and another on screen recorded walkthroughs or video-based show-and-tells.
Ayu Mirage Bordered. One Dark Pro was my go to for a long time, but I think Ayu and I have been together for at least 18 months and I haven't had any interest in switching away.
> reminder that society's literary prowess is not what it once was
What a chuckle. Just because a medium is unfamiliar to you doesn't mean it lacks prowess. I doubt the early 2000s will be remembered as a dark period in the history of literature or media in general. Check your tone because you'll never sound smart with this attitude in retrospect.
I can see the appeal as a replacement for make; in fact, it might be something I do without ever thinking of using make — just because I use Docker more often than make.
I use Docker for sort of a virtual network interface to allow me to connect to two VPNs (a VPN inside a VPN environment). Any good hardware/software finds all sorts of niches to fill in time.
I focused on the individual characters I liked. Levin is a personal favorite and as you get further along you get a little more of him. Read each character story as a vignette and don't worry about connecting the dots of the whole book until later -- or until it comes up again. Interestingly, it's the same method I use for Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
