They require fingerprints for TSA Pre. The same people who don't want to be xrayed won't want the FBI keeping their fingerprints on file.

I'm sure it's my FAANG bias, but 0.1%? I would have guessed 5%.

I'll defend some of what [flagged] was saying. The pay is pretty fair. They're teaching material that every high school graduate should theoretically be able to teach, so the barri…

This might be one of the few times a big tech name you know is actually selling your data. Most of the time when people say that, they mean Google and Facebook, but they actually k…

Asking honestly, not to troll, but is everything still an ordeal? Last time I tried, I remember having issues with my printer, hidpi display, external USB-C display, configuring th…

> Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted to hear It's validation. Windows has gone downhill, Apple locks you in, you use Linux on principle.

I find the look weirdly attractive.

My laptop's almost 6 years old. It's starting to have reliability issues, and the battery life isn't very good. The landscape has changed considerably since 2018, and I'm not sure …

In a strictly business sense, Uber made the right call. Paying $35,000 plus lawyers to learn this is a service they need to provide is cheaper than building it preemptively. In a h…

Uber gonna Uber, but I'm surprised someone in management doesn't realize this is a bad look, read the tea leaves, and buy a few wheelchair taxis and have Uber-employed drivers to h…

I'm not sure if it will actually be like that. In just a few years, AI will be so widespread we'll just assume anything not from a source we trust is fake.

I was thinking more Amazon than Apple. Hiring an outsider to a team just to have someone to fire is supposedly common there.

Both those resumes read as not being unqualified for the job, but their primary qualification is being women.

You don't want to be the odd one out on a team since you'll be the first to get laid off. Either find a team with a good mix or stick to your own color.

I was looking into getting a UPS for my server. Some UPSes do power conditioning, and all do AC/DC conversion. I got to wondering why I can't buy a UPS that outputs DC and feed tha…

Are you proposing Meta only serve lightly targeted (time of day, region) ads? These services don't pay for themselves, at least not without ads.

As a single guy, I'm checking the ladies' hands for rings all the time.

> derives its value from its rareness Hah! The big issue with choosing a smaller, natural stone is you can't really be sure it's actually natural. The industry has so many unethica…

I'm a solid white male engineer at a FAANG. If I were a woman, the company would bend over backwards to make sure I advance. 80th percentile as a male, they're happy to keep me, bu…

> In one viral TikTok video, Brit Levy, Meta's former diversity, equity, and inclusion policy analyst, said she had to "basically fight to find work" The only surprising thing here…

Do you think it would be different for a parent in their 90's to see one of their kids die at 67?

Late 30's no kids, no stresses beyond the threat layoffs and still being single. I recently tried playing some video games adjacent to ones I've loved before, and I found it really…

Not just juniors. I'm a senior engineer (10+ years exp). I recently changed teams, and even with knowing how things work at the company, onboarding has been challenging. It takes a…

I worked somewhere in midtown. We had access to a small roof above the main terrace. We were up there drinking after a party at 2 AM, sitting on the wall 8 stories up. I'm thinking…

Someone was buying all those bored apes with money from somewhere. Perhaps they were also bored apes.
