They don't want his money, the want him destroyed. By allowing him to continue with his business, he could continually pay the families. Now, they won't be getting much of anything.

As many on this community have stated: Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

tons? There are some examples. Much less than what activists would like us to believe.

This is a great idea. In the US, it pretty much stopped the idea overnight that cops were beating people for no reason. Many activist groups now want to get rid of body cameras.

Finding clients is the single hardest thing you will do as a contractor. I've been contracting for 10 years and even now, I deal with clients ghosting me, projects falling through at the last minute, etc.

I just had a client that wanted to talk about a new project today. They never sent me a meeting link and ghosted me.

Applying to 1099 jobs is a good idea. it's a numbers game.

Why does this article only show right-wing news as if the left is always truthful?

This is great, for the government. The average person that uses this will just let it fill in the boxes, without even trying to look for anything that might save them money.

I'm on it, but my resume hasn't been updated for at least 5 or 6 years. It hasn't really hurt my career.

Have we forgotten Covid so quickly? People involved in a legal protest had their bank accounts seized.

After my first few jobs out of college (15 years ago), I realized I hate working from someone else's office. It feels so constrained and like I'm in school again. Remote work was very rare then with salaried jobs, but not as a contractor.

The company I'm working for now had an office pre-pandemic (I would meet with the director once/month), sold the one here locally during the pandemic, and got acquired by a large, international, company where the majority of the employees work remotely and the HQ is in Europe (I'm in the US).

The last time I had to go to an office was for a local contract a few years ago (80 miles away from me) that required me to drive-in once/week for a few hours. The project ended after a few months and I found something 100% remote.

I used to work from coworking spaces and sometimes the library, but now I have my own home office. Everyone talks about mixing life and work when working from home. It's pretty easy for me to just turn everything off and walk away at 5.

"A second term for him might look a lot like a dictator being born."

I hear this a lot. His first term looked nothing like this.

I will use caffeine when I need it for a few days and then cut all consumption. I find that it helps me focus and causes a slight euphoric effect when taken in moderation. If I take it for long periods of time, I end up getting major anxiety.

I didn't realize until I was much older. In high school, I would drink 2-liters of Mountain Dew/day and had major anxiety issues.

I think it's less about colleges and more about the major.

I see 'anti-vaccine superspreaders' being one of the main topics of discussion. How about the misinformation about the vaccine stopping the spread? This was pushed by prominent politicians and actors and was completely false. with no science to back it up.

MRNA-based vaccines have had lots of injuries (some were taken off the market for causing blood clots, which was also lumped into 'misinformation campaigns' for a long time).

It's impact has been hidden and many people have lost their jobs by even questioning it. If this weren't the case, misinformation against these kinds of vaccines wouldn't have flourished. Not to mention the fact that you can't even sue the vaccine companies for any harm it causes you.

The vaccines didn't do much to help stop the spread. Herd immunity did.

This will only increase the risk of startup failure. It really just depends on how much risk you want to take.

You underestimate the laziness of the average employee. I've worked at a company that removed 2FA because upper-level management didn't want to have to re-login once/week.

Most companies don't implement good security practices because of the inconvenience, not the cost.

Why, as an investor, would you trust someone that said there was a 'guarantee of no loss'?

This has been known in the security community for quite some time.

There really is no killer app for the vision pro. Meta has many years of lead time with lots of great apps and games. I'm not surprised by this at all.

Before I was a consultant, I had a performance review that included 'leadership skills' as 'not meeting expectations'. I was a junior developer at the time and my manager admit to me that he never gave me an opportunity to be in a leadership position, but had to put something in the review.

I quit a few months later.

I like how everything is blamed on Brexit, but the EU is imposing taxes and limitations on all sorts of things as a result of Brexit. Shouldn't we be blaming the EU?

Most people are risk-averse not necessarily because rejection sucks, but because they now have a family/many more responsibilities. It would be nearly impossible for me to do what you did at this point in my life (pick up everything and move 500 km away).

However, I did just this a decade ago, before I had kids. I picked up everything and moved to Asia. One of the best decision I ever made.

I lived in Taiwan for 3 years. I was able to get an upscale apartment for a fraction of what it would cost me in the US and it was just an all-around great place to live. I definitely see the Japanese influence. Taipei is like a mini Tokyo.

I think apps like meetup, where you are joining a group of people with the same interests, is much better for meeting people than the app described here.

My company regularly outsources large projects to Eastern Europe. Almost perfect English, great developers, projects get done on time, and the pay is a fraction of US developers.

Piracy is not stealing, it's counterfeiting. If you steal a car, the car company might lose money, but can make up the losses. With counterfeiting, it devalues the original, which has the possibility of destroying the entire product/business.

Every ORM I've encountered always has issues when you want to write custom SQL outside of the ORM. It turns into a real mess real fast.

Our production code is mostly stored procedures called by code.

Until you mentioned this, I thought it was about Arnold Schwarzenegger

We have multiple licenses for Postman at work. I saw this email and laughed. Doe they really need a con for postman?

I do like the client though. It makes it real easy to share REST api endpoints between teams.
