Yeah, I’ve looked at that and done the points guy, transfers, spend X in 4 months get XX points but was hoping there was a general guide to flying in economy without losing your fucking mind lol

I should’ve done this a few years ago, I lost out on some nights because they had to move my flights up because of a weather event. Didn’t get anything besides “free” flight change. Now I know better

Is there a reliable, not too biased source/website to read about what airlines are best to take for what routes? For example, I’ve flown BA and AA to LHR direct & it was an awful flight (tiny seats & super uncomfortable) &

Fascinating. It’s like a cross between a Teku glass and a white wine glass. Gorgeous.

From what I’ve read, they’ve been running an A/B test blocking the mobile web surface from working so would not be a leap to suggest they want to drop to be an app only product.

Ah apologies, makes sense that name would be used outside the US too.

Haha I mean it’s strange considering IPAs were created for long-haul travels but fast-forward & we’ve now made hazy IPAs that don’t travel well at all. Hazies typically have 1/2 to 1/8th the amount of IBUs (bitterness) to olde

Sorry, but this is misinformed. They are not one of the easiest beers to make, but in fact one of the hardest. They’re very susceptible to oxygen ingress and the high hopping rates can cause diacetyl production + hop creep which can ruin th

I think you’re getting your breweries mixed up. Cascade only makes sours and they are owned by a local group in Portland with the founder still heavily involved.

It’s actually not difficult to believe at all in my opinion. They had 105b plans prepared, filed and approved by outside entities. You can see in the SEC documents and company filings all of the sales were pursuant to those plans, which are

Same - wasn’t an employee but used it often in ~2013-2015 timeframe. I’m pretty sure the valuation was many many many multiples of any sort of revenue based metric, wasn’t it?

I read it the exact opposite way. Google sees the writing on the wall that this is coming sooner rather than later to the US so with a “bit” more work they can have their common components of the phone be manufactured as OEM parts essential

Offshore isn’t a realistic solution, the quality & language barriers that come into play significantly slow down any sort of production cadence compared to in-house.

My father has been working in COBOL since the 80s, and his “reference” books are literally a couple of 4” 3 ring binders that he’s assembled over 40 years now of coding. Everytime the bank tries to switch away from COBOL they run into probl

Pre-Covid the cost of just getting my “specific doses” of the compounds I needed was $850 with insurance. Regulations changed apparently and they couldn’t reuse the same combo of like pollen, cat/dog etc so each client needs a “custom”

It would be fantastic. Regular allergy pills for dogs is insanely expensive ($100+/month). If there’s a way to spend $25/month on this for my dogs I’d be all in!

Pretty harsh and uncalled for feedback that’s not constructive at all. Calling them scumbags because of their T&Cs instead of asking for why they have such language in there is counterproductive in any civil conversation. Maybe there’s

I’ve seen a lot of folks come to Arizona during the pandemic, and I think more will move here. Outside of the summers, which aren’t that bad because you have A/C, and in the summer you’re an hour from being in the forest with pine tree

As another poster said, companies aren’t going to risk lose talent in troves if they enact a work from office policy. When you got major companies like Twitter, google, Facebook, and others already saying WFH is a permanent option that’s pu

The other case is they didn’t want to deal with going through an IPO, got a great offer for their business and a major liquidity event for their employees. Going public, despite profits made, really sucks the soul out of a company. Twilio a

It’s been a hot minute but basically the talk was about the programming language that they’re using which the lead was one of the main writers/collaborators for and how it was a secure language among other things that just weren’t real

Yep lol. They added me as a “prospect” as they were trying to poach me and then I got the email. My best guess is that some sort of automated process picked up a rejection email or an email was queued in the system so when the new recruiter

Let’s just say most technology folks in Arizona had little belief in this company after their tech lead gave a talk/presentation at a meet up where their programming paradigms & setup just didn’t make any sense. Not like didn’t mak

GoDaddy rejected me a year after I applied and only realized it when a recruiter was trying to input me into their system. I took great pride in informing her that a) I made more than their proposed offer and b) I’d never work for a company

Other folks already chimed in, but yeah $1-3M depending on how everything ends up. After taxes and everything, it’s not “enough” to never need to work again but yes, I would say I’m very fortunate to not have money as the concern as long as

How much money do you actually need though? I’ve worked for 5 startups now and my equity payout has been 0, 0, 0, 0, and now I stand I make low 7 figures from the equity on this last company (publicly traded now). During those startups the

I’ve always found it shocking (well not that shocking honestly after years at 10 person startups to 5,000+ people companies) that you get these folks who read “measure what matters” or some cherry picked Andy Grove stuff & decide “this

Which we have started to see within the Bay Area and other higher rent areas. The really interesting thing to watch will be commercial real estate, but those leases are longer & either impossible or expensive to break. We’ll see how the

Nope, my parents are capitalists so they’d charge me rent anyways.
