Have you ever done what you're talking about? I have. It's borderline impossible to get even 100 votes and you have to start by cold calling minimum 100 people to sign consent to candidacy. If you actually believe anything you've said you're completely out to lunch.
I've seen a lot of pompous threads and misinformation masquerading as facts threads but this one takes the cake for both on HN for me. I've never seen so many people high on themselves for investing in Tesla and Apple. I feel sorry for the people who read these comments or have to talk to these people about the market. Insufferable.
Yeah pretty coincidence that happened to just line up in time with him being able to hurl generalized insults through his media conglomerate instead of being present and actually dealing with the situation as the leader of the country when you have people at your door step.
The organization itself has become very user hostile as well which I think has played a large part in the overall quality drop. There's a reason everyone links to old.
There will still be those who spend all their UBI on drugs or whatever and have nowhere to stay. Do we just let them die on the street since there's no more social safety nets?
This is great but I still dislike that valve has no customer support whatsoever. They also offer no refunds for errors in their system. I've been in situations where I purchase something off the market and it says "could not find an item at that price" and purchases it anyway without updating the screen. This resulted in me having multiple of the same item and they wouldn't even acknowledge the issue. I'm anti steam until they fix their huge customer service black hole. There's no excuse.
I disagree. I find a lot of the people I work with insufferable leeches of my time. I work with one guy who asks me a question, I'll spend an hour with him as he writes it all down, and he will ask me the same question a month later and repeat the same cycle of writing it down. I have the expectation of my colleagues that they would put in some base level of effort for their pay. Many do, some do not, and these people are the ones I do not enjoy helping.
I'm an engineer at a global software company that specializes in data storage. We've had no issues with adherence to GDPR and have servers in the EU. Infact, we can't even access the EU production logs. We have to ask an employee in Europe to screen share. Is that unnecessary? No clue. Point is, this ain't hard to do.
You do not have to get your child vaccinated. If they're going to mandate vaccines, why haven't they done it already? What would have had to change before the pandemic for you to want them to be mandated?
One thing that's contradictory to what you've said that's caused me to ignore recruiters is that they misrepresent the opportunity even when the criteria doesn't match up. I've dealt with a few that I've told "this doesn't fit my criteria" and they're very insistent that the company is looking for people, not skills, and I should interview anyway. Ultimately this is a lie and I'll end up wasting everyone's time. I've done probably 30 interviews via recruiter and never landed a single position. All my positions have been the result of me just applying directly or through referrals.
That's a weird thing to despise. You know it's not necessary to try and put everything on a level playing field. I don't think your argument is valid on that front because when you code, you're inputting code. Nobody says "I'm going to do some text based programming" unless there's a need for that distinction in that situation. I think low code and no code are perfectly valid because you're inputting no or close to no code to achieve the task.
I do not understand why when I pick up food it asks for me a 20% tip. Maybe I'm off base but isn't, as a bare minimum, the job of someone making a pizza to make a pizza? As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for a number of years, and been part of a chain closure because a manager was stealing tips, I do not understand why anyone would tip for pickup. As someone whose prepared the food for pickups, I can say 100% that none of us in the kitchen thought what we were doing deserved more money than the rate we were being paid.
I've also noticed, and I can't say why this is, that the service or quality hasn't improved. You see the server two or three times. They probably don't write anything down and at least one plate is wrong somehow. A drink is missed. The only time I think I see a server more often is if I get a beer. They love asking me if I want a refill on those.
Not to say that what you're doing is wrong or unappreciated by the people serving you but I think you're basing way too much of your daily life on a movie.
Do not buy a wavian. I have two wavians and they're absolutely terrible Jerry cans. Let me explain why. The wavian safety spout is absolutely terrible and the crux of the entire shitty UX that is this Jerry can. I have no idea what they were thinking. When you attach the spout it forms a seal by pressure as set by the clamping mechanism. This is a problem and I'll explain why in a minute. The spout works on a design that if you apply pressure, it will retract (like foreskin) and allow fuel to exit the spout. These two combined make a massive design flaw. Imagine you're filling up a lawn mower. You insert your spout into the gas inlet on the lawnmower. Now what? Two options. Press hard as hell into your lawnmower so the spout allows fuel to flow, or, try and retract the spout using your third hand. I can now no longer do either of these because the spout retraction is so damn stiff, the pressure I exert causes the seal to break that I mentioned earlier, the one that is created when you first attach the safety spout and latch it in place. You now have gas coming from two places. Top this off with the fact that my safety spout is now so stiff it sticks open, and it's a completely unsafe and useless Jerry can that I will recommend against until I die. This has happened on BOTH of my cans, and my father's, and my brother in law's. We all bought them from Costco a little while back. I'm tempted to upload a YouTube video of just how unsafe these Jerry cans are.
I bought two of the metal ones and they're terrible. The mechanism on the spout that allows it to retract is so stiff that it's basically a struggle to fill a lawnmower tank because you have to hold it back as the gas starts pouring out. Since the egress is round, you're bound to spill before you get it into the hole. If you don't hold it back you have to press it so hard into the lawnmower it starts leaking around the seal at the base. Idk how anyone can tolerate these cans.
The threat is humanity. The amount of pollution that will ultimately be created by the gas plants is a drop in the bucket compared to humanity overall and will largely be offset by renewables.
There's no reason you can't migrate over slowly. I have my freemail and personal domain both in use for this exact reason. Slowly switch over. It won't happen overnight.
I'm sorry but I don't really see a problem here. The fact that they won't be able to absolutely gouge people, including inflation, seems reasonable. Inflation rising above 3% is hardly the tenants fault and chances are the tenant is suffering from that as well, probably more so. Is there no other way to encourage development outside of making sure the tenants make less every year? Ultimately that's what they're ensuring here since most people are lucky to even see a raise that covers inflation. Also, the mayor can shove off. The people voted, get your wheels greased elsewhere.
I agree and generally say I'm willing to an alternate, live coding approach instead. I'm not putting in hours and hours in some random take home that may or may not be discussed down the line. Been there and done that so many times. Most of the time it didn't even align with the job.
This would mean you would have to work a ton of extra, waste significantly more time than a day with the current interviews approaches, or be "interview hopping" with no steady job for an extended period if nobody hired you. Which could have gaps between "moonlight" sessions. Which could mean you end up broke.
