I think it's both contact and wire resistance. It is technically possible to solder a new connector on. LTT did that in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzwrLLg1RR4

The newsletter is much better than the posted article. It's a detailed critique and discusses alternatives. Efinancialcareers posts a lot of low effort blog posts.

> Nowadays, it's obvious to me that it's my responsibility to make it easy for them to see that I am good. That's what practice is - it's you working on your ability to articulate your fit for the role I second that.

I don't think that's a fair example. I'm not sure what it's like to run a small business in California. But the answer to that situation is progressive taxation, and California has one of the most progressive tax systems

Is Netflix really that bad? They aggressively state they quickly fire people. But I've also seen reports that their turnover rate is low, and they don't have a PIP culture. It looks to me like people are reasonably happy there for

I'm not familiar with the rules. But if you train AI on customer data you might end up with something that looks like front-running.

Manufacturers and retailers will also change models for sales. Black Friday sales are sometimes cheaper, lower quality versions. Discount clothing retailers sometimes get items made specifically for them. And that's ignoring bad QA. Pa

Republicans are following the Two Santas strategy. The democratic Santa is increased social spending. The Republican Santa is cutting taxes during their administration. The debt ceiling is used to force the next administration to pay for th

I'm at a FAANG adjacent company and we do hire older ICs. Though I wouldn't want to be interviewing right now. Senior level interviews can be demanding, and junior positions hard to find. It's crappy answer to age discriminat

It could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time,

Access control isn't great if an engineer was able to transfer vaults to a personal plex server.

Top tech companies could reduce comp by lowering hiring bars and wages. They don't think it's worth the cost.

Twitter is private, but Elon definitely destroyed value when he took it over.

Trust and Safety is an extraordinarily difficult problem to handle at scale. Ideally guidelines should be public and applied consistently. That's a high standard. Elon came in saying he was pro free speech, even saying ElonJet wouldn&#

Information being false or libelous is another reason to ban someone. That makes it more hypocritical that LibsOfTikTok was unbanned but ElonJet was banned.

FSD marketing has always seemed sketchy to me. Though I like Open Pilot. It's a much smaller scope for an L2 system to keep you in your lane and keep you a safe distance from the next car. It works well for highway driving.

She started in June, she then quit shortly after Elon took over, then she was convinced to come back.

Yes, Elon's takeover of Twitter is a hot culture war topic. Sites would run that story.

It was also at a Chappelle show. His Netflix special was controversial. I'd expect the audience would be more supportive of Elon than the general public.

The scale of hiring at FAANG companies is on another level. Google's summer intern class is probably much larger than the number of FTEs at my current job. They need to contact tens or hundreds of thousands of prospective candidates

I'd say it depends on the company. Silicon Valley likes to promote on impact. So being able to communicate that impact is a valuable skill.

Federal and California WARN acts require advance notification for mass layoffs. It's still "at will", but more regulations come into play if a lot of people lose their jobs.

How are they getting promoted? I hate the idea of cheating. Interviewing is unpleasant on both sides, and I don't want to compete with cheaters. But getting promoted isn't easy. It's been common advice to get a promo at anoth
