Are you saying to look at NY state government job listings and find contracting roles that way? Or are you suggesting I make connections with state gov't to get work as a contracto…

Either here or on reddit I've seen plenty of people mention the option of working as a contractor as a viable option. I have been working as a developer for 12 years. For the first…

The pandemic has really made me second guess my blind trust in the "trusted" sources. When the WHO released a statement saying that it hadn't been proven that antibodies prevent co…

I dabbled in gamedev in college and have been working as an engineer for the past 15 years. I am interested in building a game as a hobby / side project. I was wondering if anyone …

I don't think it was deliberate. But after they realized it's a problem, they also realized that it's the best way to drive engagement so they do nothing.

What would be an example of a "contractor organization"? I am interested working on contract but I live in NYC and here it seems like it's always contract-to-hire situation where t…

This is the way I see it. Ever since Facebook started "optimizing" the timeline order they have been showing you a distorted picture of the world. Honestly it would probably be eno…

We all walk around with our model of the world in our heads. When we see something that reinforces our model we get a dopamine hit. "I knew I was right!" Instead of Fox or MSNBC se…

I've always had a question about this. If more people are deciding to use the road afterwards surely it means that trips are being taken that weren't before? Wouldn't that be a goo…

I have 12 years experience writing software. The first half of that was at big data startup working with distributed systems using C++ and python. The second half has been more con…

I find it so funny that Facebook hides behind "freedom of speech" when in fact what they do is the exact opposite. When everything you saw was cronological, you could make that arg…

It's not strange that you weren't productive during one of the most disruptive periods of instability most of us will likely experience during our entire lives. Some people have ma…

One thing that I feel has helped my anxiety a good deal is knowing that "It's OK to not feel OK." A large part of my anxiety is wondering about its source and if it's getting worse…

I think the problem I have is that I don't understand how to get good at something that I have good taste in. Of everything that I've been able to learn I've always had some sort o…

More than anything right now people are going to have a very strong appetite for financial security. It's about time we reconsider 'working for 50 weeks to pay for 52' as a viable …

Without knowing as much about the topic I really feel the same way too. This pandemic might take a "long" time but it will end and we will find ourselves with the same knowhow and …

Wonderful. I'd rather have an unregulated ventilator and maybe live than no ventilator and die for sure.

Also live in NY and I bought a portable dishwasher 10 years ago and have brought it with me during every move. It's on casters and functions as a countertop (which I need anyway) w…

The Netflix UI is very abusive. They have no respect for the value of your time or your attention.

This is the right answer. You've got the web paradigm of the nav bar showing up when you scroll up (among other oddities). I think it would be very easy to have a mobile browser ex…

This is excellent! I was thinking of making something like this myself (before I knew it already existed) for the exact same reasons.

Is there no agreed upon way to write those letters with an English keyboard? I know for example in German ä -> ae ö -> oe ü -> ue At least that is what I was taught. When writing S…
