My spouse is not in tech but in comms. The quickest I know she's done an application has been O(hours) primarily due to writing cover letters, personalizing resume and often sending in clips.
Having seen that, I find it amusing that we techies (yes me too) get annoyed when we have to provide our Linkedin AND all the information on that page.

I'm curious - what caused you to question it ever happening?
Let's leave out the Elno companies that take gov money hand over fist, why is this label not applied to every company that gets tax benefits, took out govt loans?
I'm also in WA. Did you just use https://www.usps.com/international/first-class-mail-internat...?
According to https://www.usps.com/international/letters.htm, it sounds like for cash you need to file a customs form. Did you do that too?
Oh awesome. I have some EUR left over as well. You can't send cash from the US to Sweden via mail right?
1. This is an underestimation of the actual flight durations:
> However, there are few enough volunteers outside the United States and Europe that coverage may be limited, leading to underestimation of flight time and distance.
2. Much bigger issue is that the comparison used is apples-to-orange. Comparing the gross footprint of an average American to just the private jet use of another person is not a fair comparison. From https://www.npr.org/2022/11/09/1135446721/billionaires-carbo...
> Some of the world's richest billionaires each emit about 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide on average per year, more than 1 million times the amount emitted by 90% of people, according to a new study.
If you take into account all modes of travel and entertainment by the richest (yatchs, planes, fancy cars, giant mansions etc etc) and how investment props up fossil fuels, 15k quickly grows to be orders of magnitude more.
While this looks good, in practice all this means is access to paralegals/assistants who send canned emails with standard options. There is no "support".
That's basically what happened here.
Is anyone NOT inside Signal happy about this decision? Please comment if so, and why.
1. This is not a story about when a pregnancy can/should be terminated.
2. The person in this story is a child - 17 years old. Many times, what seems like normal weight gain ends up being a pregnancy. This is especially true for younger/skinnier folks.
3. Remove the hot-button issue - abortion - from this story and consider the implications. Two people were having what they thought was a private conversation.
HN crowd is not representative of the real world where FB/Messenger is essential AND where people don't understand privacy (and social) implications of using FB.
Never surprises me that HN is full of world-class doctors who can provide a medical conclusion based simply on a news story.
2 years ago, I bought some used Yamaha (not "smart") speakers and AVR. They are 8 years old now and work flawlessly. My solution to making them "smart" was to just Cast to my Android TV that's plugged into the AVR.
That entire set up cost me <$200 and has no end in sight with a very clean upgrade path. It's unfortunate that so much modern hardware is paperweight in a few years just because the company can't be bothered to maintain the software.
Lol what? They are literally a buyer and then a seller for a house. So yes they are competing with other buyers and sellers.
