• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. That makes the original listing a red flag. But sometimes you take a chance and go to the interview anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree, I felt the bad effects of FB around then. It was just so pointless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UUGGHHHH pick a lane !⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can bet that he feels he belongs in that cultural elite class, under the old and new standard (whatever those may be).

  And I have no idea why he’d want that, but he is sure it’s valuable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Par for the course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would speculate the opposite. I imagine he always believed this shit but was being politically correct (i.e., saying things to appease the public that he didn’t actually believe in)… This is common enough in the tech sector.

  (But if course you could be right. Only people who hang out with him would know.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your facts are not what OP wrote, though. And in this context the facts are relevant, which is the point.

  Bad red herring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I pay someone to add a specific feature to an open source app?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $20 is not worth the time to plan anything, let alone create it. Just consider the hourly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The surprises found just moving a mattress⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Three, quite possibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes I forget to hold the vodka tightly enough.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You need some new vodka. Priorities please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask for salary in writing, always. Usually email is easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think billionaires fear losing their fortune and becoming "a poor"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not worded like that. A lot of billionaires, probably all of them, are evil narcissistic fuckheads. The narcissism does the heavy lifting. They can’t imagine themselves being poor, and they certainly can’t imagine themselves being the kind of poor person that they despise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  reasonable for who, exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course most of us talk about the industry, not the technology. Which is to say, you could talk about the tool, but most people aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IKR that money belongs to you, not to him. He doesn’t deserve a cent of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly are you talking about? Men who feel lonely sometimes? Men without friends? Men who are not having sex?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t make this shit up. Reality is so horrible, especially with mega corporations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm seriously proud of this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get paid to care about spling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right. If everyone is super supportive and there are never emergencies or vacation scheduling conflicts, this all works. And the rest of the time, you end up having to deal with bullshit that the bosses should be handling. And hey, if your workplace is magically different from most others, and nothing ever gets funky, great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rare exceptions are interesting,and the law still applies to nearly everyone nearly all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do drain unclogging liquids actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right right except the chemicals have worked very well for me a dozen times. Never failed, in fact!

  Clearly it depends on the situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? If the government didn’t require paid leave, you might get … none of it! So the mandate actually makes you … checks notes … less controlled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you paid to do scheduling? What if coworkers say no? … Those are two serious potential problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right but you should have said that first. The point of the post is not specifically to blindside your employer, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Japan, by law it is a declaration. You use paid leave, you do not ask to use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They said they never used one, my friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Metadata is in the mp3 itself tho…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Appreciation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My loyalty can be measured in dollars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you asking whether there are clumsy people, and people who feel clumsy? Yes, yes there are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the company president is late, there is no penalty. Obviously. Of course the rules are inconsistently applied at many companies…

  Were you describing your hope?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technologist: 'Fining Big Tech isn't working, make them give away illegally trained LLMs as public domain'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like either a weak response or a.shift in position. If privacy is the issue, how is the PD a serious solution? Of course it isn’t. So PD is a penalty of sorts, which is no better or worse than any other penalty. Meh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telling 👏 the 👏 truth 👏⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LoL the pigs might disagree hohoho.
