Maybe because it is a different type of person who would prefer to use a 3d printed gun. She or he isn't seen obtaining a gun, isn't posting about it on social media, or heard firi…

I remember from my time working in the US that you couldn't be too paranoid in the quarter in which you had the annual performance review. As a team was graded on forced distributi…

Wouldn't that just move the problem from dealing with visa and mastercard to dealing with the banking sector? Isn't it challenging for, amongst others, adult entertainers, the lega…

Perhaps you are not good at just one thing, perhaps you need to find a focus area where the three topics in which you are interested are combined. Robotics springs to mind. I too f…

A friend of mine has a VR start-up and has shown me some demos. Some of those were of concerts and parties. The experience is quite unique, especially when the camera is on the sta…

Unsure if this would even be possible. Perhaps the following would be more effective/motivational. Figure out whatever it is that the boy likes, whether is in relation to learning/…

No, you shouldn't. Have you checked what the local universities are working on? Are you tied to your area? You should probably try to meet new people and network. Try to learn enou…

What is most fascinating about your first choice is that you received an offer after telling them you don't want to do the work. Do you know why they want to hire you despite this?…

Get their permission, preferably in writing. If they love your product, you might also ask for a testimonial. The last company for which I worked usually added a clause stipulating…

Based on my very limited experience, VCs ask for either a one-pager or a pitch deck to separate the wheat from the chaff. I assume very few people actually follow up and send the i…

Have you considered running several vnc(or similar)servers on separate machine/machines and connecting to those?

Answering some other questions might help you decide where to focus your efforts more on A or more on B. For example, and generally speaking: 1. Do you know your customers and thei…

Whenever someone talks about senior engineers, two close friends spring to mind immediately, one of which is my brother (software development). Even Though I am convinced that expe…

Though I feel most of the advice is centered around a subset of concerns wrt working from home, I want to hear more about your thoughts. Can you please elaborate?

To make the advise from HN more relevant, perhaps it is better to follow up in a week or two and describe your experience working from home. Are you indeed easily distracted? Or, a…

Not sure if this is true, but I suspect certain sounds make me sleepy, such as the sound of airplane engines in the cabin, some projectors or airconditioning units. On most airplan…

Can't the UK still unilaterally decide to stay?

I actually followed the link and was entertained. +1 would read again.

I'm interested...

As has been mentioned before, that's not how it works. Your desire to be laid off is (often) an incentive for the company to keep you on. Eventually, you'll tire of waiting and do …

Thank you everyone for this little thread. This is exactly what I am looking for when I read the comments to a video link!

Agreed, arguments will not convince them they are wrong. Data will not convince them they are wrong. Attempting to force them to vaccinate will not only make them fight more. In ad…
