How do you get the email address for 10?

My 2 cents is that it's going to be mostly recruiters, sales, customer success, and other misc operations folks. That's the pattern I've been observing since the post-covid layoffs…

I did not know that there was a job "archivist" at big tech companies. Does anyone here have experience? Would you share any of your interesting stories?

I've got no qualms with folks who can afford it playing the big jackpots from time to time, especially because the money coming in is typically earmarked for positive social progra…

Want to talk about disgusting: The governments hold the lotteries! More disgusting: People actually play them!

Write notes with your hand, paper or digital, when you notice something important. You will almost never revisit them in a meaningful way. It is better to just focus on using note-…

I respect your hustle and understanding of what makes a successful product. I'm making no comment on that. I was in general asking the community about how often they get paid to st…

This is a serious question: Do any of you folks get paid good money to start projects? In my career I have "started" projects for maybe 2-5% of my time. All of the real effort goes…

The commenter is comparing a core GOP belief: Minimal gun control with a fringe Democratic belief: Defund the police. Any comparison of the parties can't be done in good faith.

You're gonna publicly confront this person who has reached out to you? I think you just lost a lot of goodwill from the participants of this discussion. It actually makes me wonder…

I agree with you. I guess my words are for "good" managers, at least those acting in good faith. If you're an engineer who feels like you're afraid your manager will do this, I'd l…

Really works for me. I make more money and have a lot more influence on my world. I am a total control freak though, and really can't get satisfaction if I'm not able to make real …

Move your resources to the one you didn't pick and point your domain registrar there.

"Helvetica® Now Variable builds on the groundbreaking work of 2019’s Helvetica Now release." I am so far out of touch that I cannot believe this is relevant to anyone outside of de…

I love to talk shit on huge broadcasters but using their app for the olympics has been amazing. I just watched 2 days of replays from their app, all with minimal or no commentary, …

Our team chose it and I was pretty on the fence because wikis have existed for more than a decade and I had always considered the problem solved. However, engineers like using it a…

Oftentimes the landlord covers utilities and lumps that up in to the rent, and I have a place in New England where that is the convention. We pay $500-$600/month for heating oil in…

I am enjoying the same experience. My day at work is collecting information, and then during walks and dinner, while watching sports, before falling asleep, it's all daydreaming ab…

When Covid hit, I quit my cushy job to create a video game. It was awesome, and given the time and resources I am confident it would have sold a few thousand copies. But c'mon, I q…

Everyone should read Moby Dick . If the traditional praise is not enough, it is about how hard it is to understand. Code, tech, government, whales, or anything large. I identified …

I just have to say thanks for asking. I don't know if folks outside of a given field understand the particular insanity one in that field suffers. TL;DR: on paper I have a perfect …

It says right in this article that of the money allocated, the Fed has not met it's commitment to disclose the lender, sum, and interest rate of about 3/4 of the loans they have gi…

I'd suggest a textbook on formal logic with lots of problems to solve.

That's a terribly poor argument. > With 39.26 deaths per 100,000, Sweden's mortality rate is not only higher than that of the U.S. (29.87 deaths per 100,000) but also exponentially…
