There’s a difference between servitude and slavery. Servitude is voluntary, slavery is not. There’s a gradation between them, and indentured servitude is somewhere in between the two. The “issues in implementation” are exactly where the ethical and moral issue lie.
I loved my time at recurse and also had some similar experiences to you. There were cliques and social dynamics that I didn’t fully understand or didn’t want to be involved in, but that’s genuinely normal for me. I’ll go out on a limb and say that’s normal for many people in the tech industry. There were also people genuinely interested in making connections and drawing others into groups, and I haven’t experienced that in other tech spaces.
New York was overwhelming and different than my usual life, and sometimes that felt amazing and sometimes it was hard. Knowing that it was temporary let me enjoy the good parts and not worry too much about the hard parts.
I hate zulip and find it incredibly unintuitive. It’s a real shame to me that it’s the best way to engage with the recurse community, because once my batch was over I haven’t been as involved.
A lot of the program is what you make of it- it’s self directed, and you won’t magically become a different person just by walking through the doors. I do really appreciate all the work that the recurse team puts into setting people up for success, both through the interview process and the light structure they provide.
If you pay attention you’ll see that apples are more expensive the longer it’s been since apple season. They’re cheapest in fall, and the price rises over the year. They store really well, though, so they’re still available year-round.
The AI still can’t understand that Armenian cucumbers should have a MUCH higher potential humor value than milk.
I’m really grateful for the time I spent at the recurse center! Thank you for all the work that goes into making such a special community.
Can you defer enrollment in your masters program? Then you can go to Amazon, and the program is waiting for you if you don’t like it or get laid off.
You can just ask for vaccines at the pharmacy. I got a potentially missed childhood vaccination as an adult and they asked a few questions about why I wanted it, but were happy to give it to me. If it’s something odd you might need to go to a travel clinic.
Like the Jones act but for gloves
I think they were citing the first human case of rabies transmitted by a bat, not the first case of rabies recorded in bats.
I have a Google doc shared with close friends and family that I keep updated with info in case I’m seriously injured or dead. It doesn’t have passwords or anything harmful to leak, just things like what banks I use, contact info for various friend communities and my job, and an (unofficial) medical directive.
It’s free, took me very little time to set up, and in case of an accident should give people enough leads to make their lives easier.
The need is there, but I would absolutely not trust a subscription startup with “ai” in the url to handle this kind of info.
One of the characteristics bee breeders look for is hygiene- more hygienic bees will remove more of their own mites. It’s not entirely dependent on the type of bee.
Well, I’ve only got 10 fingers, so looks like my time there would be limited to 900 days.
Stoked to see this site! I agree with others that a map-based search would be neat, to find local coops.
One link correction: 1620 worker is https://www.1620usa.com/ not 1620workwear.com
A static site is much less vulnerable to security issues.
Sounds like someone had an internal “team bonding” hackathon
Now may be the right time to HAVE a union, but the time to unionize was when engineers had more power. That same soft job market means we have much less leverage to unionize than we used to.
Thank you for this comment. I paid a little extra to get a helmet with mips but didn’t even think about my (long) hair serving the same function.
Active shooter, chemical spill, any kind of building emergency like water stoppages.
And then if it wasn’t tightly controlled and carefully managed, probably things like social events with free snacks, company all hands announcements, and single cars blocking someone into a parking spot.
I see the usefulness of more fine-grained subscription, but also see the abuse potential from giving more people access.
My understanding is that the ticks only transmit disease after they have been attached long enough to become engorged. None of the ticks shown were engorged.
I’ve hear stats as long as 24 hours and as short as 30 seconds. One nurse told me that removing ticks by grasping and pulling means they transmit immediately, because you squeeze their contents through their mouths. I no longer believe any of the stats; seems like it could be at any time.
Forget about gussets, I can offer pockets
Your baseline capacity is always lower than it would be with experienced, fully trained, happy engineers. It seems normal because the system doesn’t support anything better.
Don’t forget advertising
The burning man org has kind of famously used a non-Ticketmaster vendor every year, and it’s almost always a shitshow.
Secretparty.io is another ticket vendor that has a great user experience. Easy transfers, handles large spikes in traffic, etc.
Ticketmaster just has a really solid moat, it’s not that alternatives don’t exist.
I don’t doubt what you’ve seen, and how some farmers are doing no-till.
However, there are better ways to do no-till that don’t require large herbicide input. No-till is really good for reducing the amount of water needed to farm and preserving soil structure, which is beneficial for all kinds of reasons. It’s not inherently a bad thing.
Hence the theory that they did know, but chose to let it happen in order to justify the following escalation
I visited on mobile and didn’t get the captcha other folks are talking about, just a useful article. Interesting.
Unionized companies can still do layoffs.
Some small percentage of fish go to different streams rather than returning to their “home” stream. There’s also hatcheries that release fish raised elsewhere to try and restore runs without enough fish to sustain a healthy population.
Source: I used to volunteer at one of those hatcheries raising endangered coho and releasing them in the spring. I spent a lot of time chilling in the bushes with NOAA scientists talking about fish.
