    I'd bet there are many. I know a few teams with spends in the thousands of dollars per day. It sounds crazy, but not too unrealistic.

    Came in to, worked on a SaaS product that did this in 2000 (it was around since '97/'98). I was doing new customer deploy and support, not direct development. It was running on MSS…

    Not only that, some organizations have policies to not accept information/applicants who don't follow the process through recruiter, HR, job board, etc. Now you're effectively "bla…

    Forget about anonymous data; sometimes PII is not sold, it's just given away by staff who don't know better. See my comment here from my own experience: https://news.ycombinator.co…

    Maintenence. I grew up in the north (Michigan) and spent time in Massachusetts, living in Texas now it's very different how infrastructure is funded. I'd call it a result of the ge…

    This was similar to my experience in SE Michigan & NW Ohio in the late '90s to early '00s. Ameritech required you to order 2 ISDN phone lines, which cost somewhere around $80 per m…

    We had plans to get together as a company (about 15 of us from all over the US) about 3 months later. They seemed excited about this. But, we never made it that far.

    Long story short, GV or VOIP numbers will forever be a big red flag for me moving forward. Longer story: A few months ago, I posted a job for a remote US-based developer. 90% of th…

    I sat on the board in my previous neighborhood and served two terms as president, this was definitely true for that community too. And, many other HOAs of individual homes (structu…

    We went a few years ago and loved it. We happened to be there on the day the Memphis Belle exhibit was being opened (rained out the day before), which also meant they were doing fl…

    I've used cases/components from here in the past: https://e-itx.com/ Of course, the most recent was a 8TB server I built in 2011. So, take that as bad that I can't speak to any rec…

    I think that depends on the phone and the root application used. My HTC is rooted with magisk and it claims SafetyNet is still in operation. I don't use my phone for much banking, …

    Start local, check your business district and/or chamber of commerce. Depending on your state (assuming US-based) also restaurant groups like frla.org. You can also try to target o…
