Its happening at a global moment of chaotic behavior. When prices are soaring, information and institutions are disintermediated, jobs are hard to come by and layoffs easy, insuran…

Six months into a new role, started getting rejections from applications nearly a year ago. It feels like not a single norm from 2019 has persisted.

He's low enough that he felt he must go along with kidnapping the leader of a foreign country

Not a silly question. If you go back to the 2000s, you'll see the growing militarization of local police. This is partially an economic prop-up where the military can now sell poli…

Who purchases and greenlights adoption? These cycles are very long and partnering with consulting firms gets you cross industry access. In fact, if you look at basically every majo…

The goal is the grift + outrage. If you can get both, great. If you can get just one, a very solid win. Each time something is thrown into full chaos there stands a private actor o…

Literally yesterday google changed how secrets work. Its very possible to introduce change.

I was with you until the end. This is a public forum and thus nothing is ever bog standard because presumably every week new people join with varied to no experience in the ways of…

Was it them that did that or employers freezing wages and losing R&D credits/facing tarrifs / wild instability?

Your argument - esp the 'blue cities' bit given that the majority of metro(polis) cities in the US could be called blue (minus Miami, Houston, Dallas)- feels slanted. OP your post …

This is a false either/or. It has been proven and reproven that these claims of crime requiring store shutdowns were improperly put forward, without research, by a lobby. So much s…

This is happening in california. In fact there are three current situations: 1/SB9 cutting R1 lots in half 2/ ADU laws, which let you build up to 3 homes/units where there was one …

^ This And the scale applies at every single step of the process. A citizen homebuyer is playing a oneshot game. There are few discounts to be had and every single fee is its own b…

Collectively decide and easily are carrying lots of weight here. Americans (citizens that is) have held fairly consistent opinions on healthcare, guns, education, war and yet very …

The claim is too absolute. Software amplifies value, but inference cost and capability still shape what’s possible. Users aren’t demanding obfuscation; they just want predictable p…

Ah I always get triggered by "to be fair..." This is like saying "instead of taking a fixable broken thing we've thrown it out" but there's no current intention to get/build a new …

It would be weirder for that blanket resume to be accompanied by posts about how much your wedding taught you about b2b saas sales with your photo, location, and a list of all the …

Ok - this obviously doesn't work everywhere but recently was flown to a city for an interview. Day long, full loop, 5 45 min interviews + 1 working session with a panel. Had dinner…

I haven't found this to be the case as much. Posted a job, got 100 applications, at least 10 had referrals. 10 is manageable for me to sift through but not the win the applicant th…

Its the same as "bird dogging" or wholesaling in real estate or really any series of other middlemen or wholesale business who do the hard work of finding the deal but don't necess…

Insurance and actuarial science is some of the most data-drivenwork we have. It is incredibly hard to withstand peer pressure and there is not much wrong in admitting what the data…

I've been trying paper for about 2 years now and its been great. Works about the same, feels the same, no pods. Its quite a nice experience.

Is vague enough to mean either thing which in and of itself is a red flag. "To face justice" is both a phrase this administration would use and is more concrete.

Can you help me understand. Is Starlink, or satellite enabled wifi really the only solution here if you're 10-15 min away from a populated area?

Ways to start my morning...reading "When they have sex, people expect to ejaculate and feel good, not have their intercourse morph into a drag race with a clown half-way though." S…
