Sorry - you lost me at manage with NO direct reports. You, maybe, manage the coffee orders for the board of directors? I don't know if they exist anymore, but IBM, Microsoft, HP us…

So I HOPE you cant mis-type an email address and get it sent to someone else. I get so many bank account statements, library book and device rental notices, car is ready for pickup…

I guess that Harvard probably does not need the Feds as much as the Feds need Harvard but I'm glad they are standing up to the Fascists. I'm going to have to see what NYU is doing …

I'm so glad I retired and can afford to say "No" with an occasional "Yes" if it's interesting :-)

I stopped using COBOL in 1978 and NEVER admitted to even knowing the language forever after. I'm making the sign of the cross and heading for a strong cup of coffee in the hope tha…

Maybe you should have lead with an IOS RSS reader :-)

I got a little more than halfway into this long article, so I apologize if this was answered at some point. So what? Many native English speakers can't pick up a pen and paper and …

Damn - I took an (AI) image that I "created" a year ago that I liked and then you animated it AND let it sing Amazing Grace. Seeing IS believing this technology pretty much means v…

These jokers seem like the AI version of "script kiddie" hackers, and OpenAI may be engaging in a bit of humble bragging. It doesn't take considerable investments in time or money …

When you drink from the Google firehose it's not IF but WHEN you drown. I gave up on Google and their SEO metrics and crap almost two DECADES ago as it was clear where their DONT B…

The article said 2800 miles of testing? Was that a misprint - a single one-way trip from San Francisco to NY is about that distance? Does the FCC or the Air Force get final say in …

Another PAYWALL link? Anyone know of a ycombinator filter that just strips out links that go to wired bloomberg nytimes wapo etc so that they just don't even appear in the feed? Im…

Unless you are in an "at will" employment state or otherwise fall under those rules, then the company trots out "at will" (which you signed an agreement to) then the HR DRONES will…

Companies started this crap just after 9/11. I guess I was a boomer IT guy and never saw the point of unions HOWEVER very early in my career I saw that the "company loyalty" mindse…

Umm this is fine for HISTORICAL prices but if I want a burger today - DONT be telling me what it cost nearly a year ago!!

I've been following the news on this but from day one. You have one or more rich guys who presumably have some brains and can do some research but they fork over money to an operat…

Dumb question. If an employer wants you to move then (a) Pay relocation costs. (b) Offer a REAL employment contract for a specified period. Employees may need an agent (just like p…

Why wasn't the https://archive.md/kCklr link promoted instead of the paywall site?

I gave up on following the Google SEO bandwagon years ago. I write for people and most definitely NOT for Google. I get around 800 real users a month on my site across about 20 cou…

Actually BUILDING something that you could point to and say - depending on organization size - I WROTE THAT and it's being used daily across the company and in some case globally. …

The Orca version of Cow Tipping? Geez kids these days.

I just tossed this issue out along with maybe a hundred others last month :-)

When I first started out I actually got to develop, write and deploy complete applications as opposed to endless updates or tiny sections of some larger project. It was an amazing …

Pretty common in London as well
