Why would that be hard to understand. It makes total sense.

People making >200k probably use almost no government resources, and are sick of getting taxed up the arse left and right at any opportunity.

I’d be happy to pay more tax if I had any faith the money would be used wisely, but I don’t. Hence, my goal when voting is tax minimization.

If you want it bad enough you’ll make time for it and might even come to enjoy the process. I certainly did.

I made time on commute to and from office (50 mins each way) even despite motion sickness.

And sacrificed my evenings sometimes as well as weekends.

But all paid off. Good luck!

I actually posted in one of his threads. The sad part is I and I’m sure 99% of miscers were convinced it was a troll post.

The stuff he wrote was so unbelievable that it seems to be designed to trigger some members. I specifically remember a post where he bragged about having a bmw and still had no luck with girls and he saw <some other race> in a Honda with a pretty girl and he couldn’t believe it.

It was so outlandish it was impossible to take seriously.

I don’t think any of them really actively hire remote engineers unless you have a very niche skill set they need.

But I’ve heard of instances where someone works at BigCo for a very long time, makes themselves very valuable and then move somewhere with no office presence for family reasons but continue to work.

I will use my iPhone 6 (not S) until they release a phone with a headphone jack

I’m hoping for a refreshed SE. I like the button. I like the headphone jack. I don’t like FaceId.

i dont like the way it was phrased. its better in the original format of just, given a list of ints, return a list where each elem is product of all except that elem.

I cant really judge, I would be hapy to have received this on an interview cause I've seen a variation of the problem on leetcode.

I just went through the interview loops at several FANGS, firs time doing this and got several offers, including G. I used to be super scared of even applying for fear of rejection because I thought I wasn't smart enough. I am self taught with lib arts degree from an average school, low gpa.

but I actually enjoyed learning these problems and figuring out solutions, and as time went on it got easier and easier. I enjoyed the interview process and had a good experience everywhere except FB.

my suggestion to those who are striving for FANG is just to keep practicing the questions and try to have fun with it, and go into the interviews with a positive, collaborative attitude.

Is anyone able to answer this. He seems to have put up two vertical wooden planks in what appears to be the basement and it seems to be supporting the entire weight of the house except for the sides. Is this a normal way to do things? I couldn’t believe the physics of this

what do you suggest for people who cannot tolerate the taste of some tap water. The one in my area taste very metallic and makes tea/coffee brewed with it have an unpleasant flavor. I bought a brita-like water filter with great reviews on amazon, but despite that, some of the metallic flavor remains. My old home had a reverse osmosis system which tasted amazing, but I'm not going to invest in a super expensive water system for the apartment I am renting. I just want good tasting water

Went to the opthamologist this year cause I could tell my vision was worsening.

After all was said and done they ushered me into their eyeglasses store which was physically connected to their office. A nice friendly man told me the frames start at 299 and go up from there.

I said thanks man with this eye exam I can barely open my eyes so I’ll come back.

Got two pairs of awesome glasses from Zenni for $55 total.

I’ve read this is online movement is destroying the career of optometrists. Also the eyeglasses scam also seems to be connected to Luxottica which is a well known sunglasses scam also. I will continue to buy from Zenni

Amongst some of the people I know, cryptos _currently_ provide much better investment returns than the stock market. These people have a bunch of extra money lying around, why settle for 3-10% returns when you hear stories of crypto graining thousands of percent. To them it’s not about the potential or the technology, it’s strictly the returns over time.
