I'm a U.S. citizen and I've applied to plenty of these types of jobs. Had an offer at Palantir previously but would not take that now due to ethical concerns. I'm an older worker in management. Willing to be hands on.…
In theory, yes. But in practice, is it true? Are Amazon and Oracle better places to work than Facebook and Stripe?
There's even a word for it. It's called "enshittification" https://www.ft.com/content/6fb1602d-a08b-4a8c-bac0-047b7d64a...
My strategy here is disable all auto pays and make it a manual ritual to pay my bills at the start of each calendar month. Doing it once a month is easy enough to remember (or put a calendar invite, if you're not able…
Though I realize it's currently offline, can I just say how refreshing it is to see the mention of a live ssh demo with no authentication needed? I wish more tools had such a friction free way to try them.
Sounds intense. What did it look and feel like? How did it change your life? You've left me a bit on the edge of my seat.
And yet this did not save Wael Al-Dahdouh's family. He followed every order and evacuated his family. His wife, kids, and grandchild were wiped out in an airstrike in a refugee camp no less. He handled it with immense…
Wow thank you for suggesting this. I've tried so many apps and nothing has really hit the sweet spot for me. But I just downloaded this upon reading your suggestion and it literally checks all the boxes for me. Amazing…
I hear they make people share hotel rooms with other employees. Is that true?
I lived in Singapore for a little while and this was one thing I noticed they did there. For example, by giving preference in subsidized housing to people who were married and further preference to those who had kids.…
For one thing, a single humans knowledge cannot be scaled to serve hundreds of millions of users simultaneously.
We have an aging population and many places have a flat birthrate. We need to solve how to deal with this consequences. Who will care for these people? How will we deal with the consequences of flat population growth?…
> Any examples you can share? I don't really feel too comfortable sharing specific details, but suffice it to say I've worked at a few large companies and my experience with Meta was one of too many cooks in the…
As someone who has worked at meta in privacy, I don't think this would be hard to figure out for a small startup. The issue is that you can't share data between different apps, which is not a problem a small company…
Genuine question: did anyone actually get locked up on a business trip to China?
One problem is that the instructions are not visible until you click on the question mark icon (at least on mobile) so I didn't even realize there were instructions until I read your comment.
Can you share more details on this? It sounds a bit overly optimistic, but I admittedly don't have a lot of experience in this space. If you have some links to news articles or publications talking about progress and…
Israelis also tend to be very direct in my experience working with them. I'm not Israeli (in fact, I hold a passport for a country that doesn't even recognize Israel), but it's something I've always admired about…
What exactly is the pain of unfreezing? I was able to do it all online in a couple of minutes on each of the three major credit bureau sites.
Genuine question: if Google is a last resort, what are your more preferred alternatives? I've tried many search engines and haven't really succeeded in finding a better alternative. Wondering if I'm missing something.
And even despite this negative experience, I would say Revolut is still a safer choice compared to the apps listed in the article. Theoretically, your Revolut balance should be safe from bank failure as it's FDIC…
I agree it can be very confusing to set all of this up from scratch, but if you're using something like Vue CLI, all of these dependencies and configs are generated for you.
Not sure net income would tell you that much either. Many companies deliberately keep net income low by reinvesting in further growth. Think of Amazon's model. At least revenue gives you a sense of the upper limit.
I don't think anyone is implying Google pays differently based on visa status. The implication is that Google would rather hire a foreign worker who is willing to accept lower wages as opposed hiring locally - and…
Irrespective of the reason, this really makes me sad. Vice had made some of the most incredible content and dared to go places others simply wouldn't. As a Pakistani, I can tell you it's very rare to see media go there.…
