I could see this having problems for credit dispute.
For example, your Chase card pays Piracy.com. Some vendor makes an unauthorized charge on your Privacy card. Now you have to deal with Privacy's policy instead of your bank's policies to dispute
it's possible she was in talks with a co-worker who gave her insider info
You are completely wrong. Tech is definitely not worst industry affected by the corona virus by a long shot. Service workers are definitely not a job that can be done at home. Tech workers usually have good salaries while service workers are likely to live paycheck to paycheck. Plus they do not have the same access to medical benefits.
This will still definitely slow down the total amount of infections.
You'd have to literally be picking up and flying in planes full of active cases to even match what we have here already
Even one person with corona can do a lot of damage.
For example, a singular person boarded Diamond Princess. The ship had 696 confirmed positive cases and 7 deaths from 1 person who had the virus.
I have a feeling that the authors of this map is biased an uninformed. I'm sure you gathered up the expert historians from each of these countries to identify the oldest business, then this map will look very different.
This makes sense. Every person I have dated was via my social circle or someone we had mutual friends with. I don't date a complete stranger with zero connections.
This is not true at all.
There are plenty of self-studied developers who have full-time jobs on HN. I've met a vast number of devs in real life who didn't go to college. It's not incredibly rare. It costs almost nothing but time to self-study and build a portfolio.
The other option would be go thru university. And there are many universities that offer a BS in CS for a reasonable price such as University of Florida. You can apply for a FAFSA, and depending on your financial needs, you could get it all paid for in grants. It will likely take 3 years but you get a legit degree by an accredited University, not some University of Phoenix equivalent scam. Some of these online BSCS students even get accepted to reputable PhD programs, good luck doing that from Lambda School because it's not happening.
Sounds like you know unsuccessful people. I know plenty of developers who became front-end or dev ops from their own studies. It's not too hard to learn SQL or data visualization. The majority of questions can be answered via stackoverflow or slack communities. You don't need to know everything to land a entry-level job, you just need to prove you know how to problem solve.
Either way, you are not becoming a true machine learning researcher via self-study nor a bootcamp. You will need at least a master's in CS/Math/Stats to land those roles. A bootcamp is neither the lowest cost to a softwaredev career nor is it the a career effective maximizing choice.
There's no point to doing coding bootcamps. I know plenty of individuals who were non-CS majors, not even STEM, switch to software developers after self-study and building up a portfolio.
if you decide you want an accredited university degree, then you can get FAFSA to fund community college, then transfer an online university such as Florida
It is laughable that you don't think the goal wasn't already zero. It has been zero the whole time.
Real life and ideals are different thing. You can't promise that accidents will never happen. But you can promise that accidents will be substantially reduced.
In the US, about 35k people die per year from motor vehicle related deaths. If you get it down to 10k, then that would be a major success. Of course, you will still be fine tuning until you could get below 1000 and as close to 0 as possible.
I think not giving candidates any feedback has to do with companies being lazy than fear of being sued.
If you have 50 candidates do a takehome assignment, then you will need an engineer to do code review and write comments on everything. Whereas it's easier to execute the code and have an engineer glance at the code quality. Their time is better spent looking more deeply candidate's who move onto the next round. I'm not saying it's morally right, but it's just more time efficient for companies to do this and that's how the power dynamics unfortunately work.
that's a lot of overhead and effort for a scam. It would be easier to just to have a normal job such as being a software developer.
Sending unsolicited photos of yourself is weird. But sending a link to your instagram or twitter. Of course, if the scammer had social media, then people would report them to get their accounts banned or there would be comments about being fake. Not to mention having 1 followers.
I don't believe Jacobson's connection to Columbo was a complete random happening at an airport.
More realistically, at least one of Jacobson's friends or family couldn't keep their mouth shut that Jacbson worked for the promotion. An associate of theirs was connected to Columbo and decided to extort Jacobson.
for iOS you can have a work around. The users using the web based app in safari, then whenever a notification needs to be sent, twilio api will send a SMS message to alert the user. Of course it will only send an sms message if the user allows it and enters the mobile number.
His personal investment in Theranos was never going to pan out. Regardless of how he acted w/ his journalists.
Tesla has a much greater chance of collapsing. Their operating and net incomes are negative. Meanwhile Ford is rolling in money.
How is Tesla worth more than Ford? Their F-150 alone outsells all Tesla models combined
iPhone's user interface is way more visually appealing.
You can also get an iPhone 8 on ebay for $200. So you can get the best of both worlds of price & UI.
No, someone shouldn't be discouraged in applying. But they should know that their chances are low.
If an inexperienced manager is hired by the tech company, the blame falls on the tech company's hiring practices when things don't work out, not the applicant. People will always want a big raise or promotion.
HN never ceases to amaze me. Plenty of people here are great at negotiating job offers, but struggle negotiating in relationships. Different skill, set I guess maybe no surprise. Well, either way, figure it out. Go remote, long-distance, invest, build a business, or whatever else you need to do to retire around 40ish. Learn to make sacrifices.
I disagree with "double major".
Instead graduate in 3 years, get a master's
What would my job be? Coding in COBOL all day?
I would have money to go on fancy ski trips, golf every weekend, eat fancy dinners, hike in exotic places. I could drive my dream car, etc.. etc.. I would also be able to retire early.
There are definitely many non-computer related hobbies to keep me interested.
At a $2400, other users want high quality video. The computer should have the option for both audiences. Don't want high quality, fine just turn the setting down.
At a $2400 price point. You should get a 1080p camera included regardless of your use. If you don't want that much detail on a webcam, you should have a setting to turn it down to 480p or something. But higher quality should the ceiling. Besides some people vlog and want that type of quality on facetime
Andrew Yang will help her out
It just seems like if you can push yourself mentally and physically to be a world champion, then a mediocre office job is exponentially easier.
The article says at the height of her career Twigg never made more than $50k per year with sponsorships.
So coaches I bet would only be making $20-30k per year. Barely a living wage these days, unless you live in Montana
Oprah Winfrey is the best example of self-made success.
Black woman born to an unwed single teenage mother, grew up in the projects to a billionaire.
I think eSports, particularly DOTA2's TI is far, far more relevant to young men than Football at this point and has true global appeal. Football and the Superbowl seem like so many boomer institutions where this old guard is doing everything to slow down the bleeding for as long as possible.
This statement is completely out of touch with mainstream reality.
