What would you have had New York do differently without the support of the federal government?

Can the state government close airports and prevent flights from Europe landing in NYC?

I would be worried about the ocular toxicity and ototoxicity side effects.

I would only want this drug given to me if there was no hope of recovery.

Agree, it reduces boilerplate and prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to writing testable code.

I’ve worked on similar systems, never again. God objects are something that should be avoided so that code is readable and maintainable.

We’re you able to drink the tap water after that amount of time?

The state of our industry?

The level of greed that Amazon and Bezos continue to demonstrate is sickening.

I agree it’s more likely this. And although service is better in the US, it does make me feel crappy because I know the only reason it’s better is because they so desperately need the tips.

I no longer use Uber or Lyft because I’ve had more rides with drivers who I would consider to be a “dangerous driver” than those I consider safe.

Many times the driver is in too big a rush to get their next fare, and they drive erratically and over the speed limit whilst using their phone. I even had a driver whose breath smelt like he’d been drinking. I just don’t feel safe, and I don’t think these companies regulate or check how safe their drivers are driving. I wonder whether there could be something in their driver app that monitors the speed or safety of the driver when they have a passenger in the car. I know that some insurance companies have apps like these.

Yeah, I interviewed someone over 60 a few months ago and myself and the other engineers who interviewed were all intimidated. It was fine once we were in the interview room but reading the resume scared everyone a little.

I want to say that people might feel intimidated by your resume. Maybe try excluding all but the most relevant degree and heavily tailoring the rest.

Why not make a playlist? Seems more durable

If you’re not scuba trained this is going to be pretty useless. Breathing from an oxygen tank whilst being unable to see (no mask), and constantly and steadily breathing as you descend and ascend take training. Not to mention the shock of the cold water and having to remember all this scuba training info. I think it would be useless for anyone that’s not an expert scuba diver, better to improve the harness so that passengers can actually release themselves.

You need to soak them in something stronger before washing - something bleach based. Napisan is great for this (and also for any white shirts etc).

Does anyone still use cloth diapers these days? They’re reusable and produce so much less waste.

Requiem for a Dream is one I can think of. Very dark though.

Agree with above, I'm not sure why that comment is most upvoted, it's poorly written and the author doesn't seem to have a good grasp of distributed systems concepts.

Legitimate question here, how is it ok for all the screenshots of internal tools which the authors must have assumed would remain internal to Google to be put into this publicly visible suit? Their names are visible and not redacted?

Is this just a reminder to be careful what you post at work?

I just asked questions like what's the team like, would you recommend working there etc.

Re tedious steps, I had multiple job offers and reached out to people on LinkedIn who used to work on the teams I had offers for and got some great honest info that helped me make a decision.

As a tourist that's how you felt, but did you speak to the people who live there? What you'll find is a people scared to criticize their dictatorship government, which is incredibly rich and lives a life of luxury whilst their citizens are very poor.

The moving background made me motion sick, had to leave the page before i could finish

Also experiencing something similar right now - pathology for a day procedure ended up being out of network and I have a $3500 bill. This is insane.

It's fairly simple - zero tolerance when it comes to harassment is a great place to start, offenders are sent packing.

Leadership sets an example of what behavior is acceptable and what isn't and management enforces it.

You also look out for culture fit when hiring - you don't just hire on technical competency, you also actively check that someone isn't an asshole, no matter how well they perform.

Edit: The question is, what will you do with the above advice? Will you take action and make improvements? Because otherwise this discussion was for nothing.

They are trying to justify why they are still working for the company. Excusing the inexcusable because it's convenient for them.

What is it you want to discuss then? What is your agenda here? To say "not all of Uber is bad"? Whilst that may be the case, there's no denying what actually happened and that there are significant organizational and cultural issues in the company.

My guess is that they really do enjoy the other parts of their job and even the company itself, and are really sad about the bad parts that are making life difficult. That coupled with a hope that things might get better.. Everyone has a different breaking point when it comes to these things.

Maybe you just want to stick it out until the first year cliff when it comes to your RSUs so at least you have something to show for the below-market salary you agreed to. It sucks that you have to suffer through this crap but sometimes the potential financial upside you might be able to hold onto is worth a little more pain.

Netflix is a great tool for getting started - choose an interesting series in the language you're trying to learn, e.g French, and turn on subtitles in that language (in this case French) - it helps you decipher accents more clearly and gives you an ear for the language.

This tech stack is basically the same as what most insurance companies in Australia use! IBM mainframes, IMS, DB2, Endeavour etc. there's a lot of this type of work still out there.

Oh, I'm sorry you've never been greeted that way :( I'm not being sarcastic, the first time the officer said it to me I was amazed!
