just came here to ask why the dudes in the dinosaur costumes need to be naked?!?

I 100% notice when ppl are slacking - especially at the levels you mentioned. I'm a team lead - it's to much of a pain in the ass to fire people so it's easier to just keep them and give them the minimal salary increase possible. If someone is from a protected class 100% forget about firing them but I realize not all companies are like mine but I suspect a lot are.

ha oddly enough in AltSpace I've actually had a number of great engaging conversations.

people have a hard time realizing when the technology they've spent their lives learning and perfecting is no longer applicable

I've never read Shakespeare but so I'm curious to hear what you think makes it outstanding? I've tried reading a bit before but I was weighed down by words and phrases that we no longer use and found myself losing the meaning.

sadly I've always seen this technique used to assign blame

Fun fact but the gov basically stole gold from ppl b4 in the good ole USA. They made it illegal to hold - if you were caught having gold it was a 10k fine. PPL were forced to go to their banks and sell their gold at a loss.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102#:~:text=E....

That article uses the term hoarding but don't be fooled they made holding any relevant amount of gold for investment illegal. You were still allowed to have gold necklaces and the like though

in the age of diversity hires I can't imagine calling someone's ideal stupid and still having a job

I mean yea - another way to look at is if you're making $700 per month doing nothing you'd need make at least $701 to even consider from a pure economic perspective - realistically more like $1000+ to be motivated enough to go to work.

So many will write that off but then you have the a ha moment of what if I do work under the table so that's what you do - best of both worlds free money and extra cash. Problem obviously is a lot of ppl choose illegal options especially considering how profitable they are.

you should spend sometime in special education classrooms in America. You'd be shocked what is considered a disability. You have to realize once you have a documented disability it opens up things like lifelong disability payments.

Imagine you have an E student, 16 years old. You have major anxiety over the thought of supporting them for the remainder of your life as it seems unlikely they'll ever be able to able to hold a job/achieve financial independence. Disability can be your ticket and parents hire what's know in the industry as advocates who you guessed it advocate for their student to be labeled and receive support for having a disability. I can tell you it's a surefire way to ensure your child receives passing grades w/ out doing anything at all b/c you can relabel the lack of effort as due to their disability.

It's akin to drug addicts learning the in's and out's of the hospital system to receive pain medications. Pain has a lot of wiggle room and ppl will milk it just they like do disabilities.

I fail to see what good it is to own a mansion and have a bunch of toys if you live in a dangerous area where you have to put up a gate, have armed guards and in general worry about someone knocking you over the head and stealing your shit. Being the richest person in the ghetto is like being tallest midget - who cares.

Seriously regret signing up for that gym. The sales person lied about so much shit in hindsight. Signed up for the medium of the road package - tried to downgrade to the basic package told me I couldn't despite telling me when I signed up I could hop between them anytime.

this is like moving a mountain - yea on paper it works but good luck actually doing it

floor type would be helpful but general for carpet I use a vacuum and maybe once a year hire out for the ppl to come clean it.

that's a good point - shouldn't it include that out of the box? must be hard to accomplish

so the absolute worst is cash in something like a savings/checking account. You're interest rate will be less than 1/2% so in this case you're losing ~5% per year. You're best bet is low fee index funds that mirror the entire US market. VTSAX through Vanguard is a great choice. Your money now keeps it's purchasing power b/c you no longer own money, you own stocks and when prices go up stocks are just another good that also goes up in price so your dollars now track inflation.

for the love of god if you smell gas please don't light a match to check. Real quick way to blow your house up if you do have a gas leak.

can you elaborate - also what business books are you talking about?

General Motors got strong armed by a black media group made up of billionaire media owners for not spending enough advertising dollars on TV companies owned by blacks. Make no mistake this kind of stuff is usually about the dollar bill more so than "representation".

the industry may have changed too - in my early days I remember more fantastical failures where the whole website would be down for an evening or other tragic mistakes.

As more and more ppl got involved and things started to be worth more and more money we were more or less forced to put in more safe guards as there is less tolerance for failure/mistakes. I think the trade off between speed and safety will always be there and business folks will always want both despite them being at direct odds w/ one another.

down for me.

One of the predicted winners of climate change is Russia. It's supposed to thaw fertile lands that are currently under permafrost and open up new shipping lanes. Obviously even Russia will experience some downsides but the positives could easily outweigh the bad.

why bother w/ electric in that case?

basically node exposes all these other APIs like reading a file from disk. Browser also has APIs like detecting when the page is fully loaded that wouldn't be available on Node. What JavaScript syntax is supported can also vary between Node and browsers.

way to devise a very specific way to kill the gravy train cryptobros have been riding on for so long

Ppl are talking how we need regulation. We can't even spot China from putting ppl in concentration camps how are we going to regulate their rocket program.

Two things - 1) I interviewed at places like this after college. The hustle at least to me was very apparent. It boggles my mind that ppl want to work at these kinds of places. Maybe you become a senior banker and make fat stacks but let's be real most don't. I can't help but feeling these are young naïve workers taking these positions.

Second this scam jobs tend to thrive to down markets. I could see there rise as things go south as we come out of the recession and the number of white collar non-tech jobs continues to disappear over time.

You mean you can't just fix the problem by writing better product requirements - "Google search results shall give me more relevant results."

SARMs, notably GW501516 otherwise known as Cardarine. SARMs occupy a legal gray area in the US and are widely available online as research chemicals.

It's odd to me that people think Bitcoin can be free of "force" long term. Bad guys can point a gun at your head and demand you login into Coinbase to transfer coins to them. What happens if the government makes Microsoft give them admin accounts to the Bitcoin repo? What happens if there is a fork and China doesn't like it and prohibits miners from adopting it? BTC is way more susceptible to traditional military and government might then people make it out to be.
