Maybe because it is a different type of person who would prefer to use a 3d printed gun. She or he isn't seen obtaining a gun, isn't posting about it on social media, or heard firing rounds 'to test it out'. Might not ev

I remember from my time working in the US that you couldn't be too paranoid in the quarter in which you had the annual performance review. As a team was graded on forced distribution, team members were incentivized to screw over others

Wouldn't that just move the problem from dealing with visa and mastercard to dealing with the banking sector? Isn't it challenging for, amongst others, adult entertainers, the legal marijuana industry and bitcoin/crypto curre

Perhaps you are not good at just one thing, perhaps you need to find a focus area where the three topics in which you are interested are combined. Robotics springs to mind. I too feel inspired by talented people, and stand in awe of experts

A friend of mine has a VR start-up and has shown me some demos. Some of those were of concerts and parties. The experience is quite unique, especially when the camera is on the stage. It is a unique experience and if done right, I would lik

Unsure if this would even be possible. Perhaps the following would be more effective/motivational. Figure out whatever it is that the boy likes, whether is in relation to learning/reading or not, and give him a toy in that subject

No, you shouldn't. Have you checked what the local universities are working on? Are you tied to your area? You should probably try to meet new people and network. Try to learn enough about their businesses, challenges, etc. As soon as

What is most fascinating about your first choice is that you received an offer after telling them you don't want to do the work. Do you know why they want to hire you despite this? EDIT: Depending on their reasoning to extend you an

Get their permission, preferably in writing. If they love your product, you might also ask for a testimonial. The last company for which I worked usually added a clause stipulating that they could not be identified as a customer without exp

Based on my very limited experience, VCs ask for either a one-pager or a pitch deck to separate the wheat from the chaff. I assume very few people actually follow up and send the info. In my experience, VCs usually respond relatively quickl

Have you considered running several vnc(or similar)servers on separate machine/machines and connecting to those?

Answering some other questions might help you decide where to focus your efforts more on A or more on B. For example, and generally speaking: 1. Do you know your customers and their requirements? How valuable is it to them, does it address

Whenever someone talks about senior engineers, two close friends spring to mind immediately, one of which is my brother (software development). Even Though I am convinced that experience (and thus age) contributes to the segregation between

Though I feel most of the advice is centered around a subset of concerns wrt working from home, I want to hear more about your thoughts. Can you please elaborate?

by fpalmans 7y ago
To make the advise from HN more relevant, perhaps it is better to follow up in a week or two and describe your experience working from home. Are you indeed easily distracted? Or, are you working crazy hours? Are you more/less productiv

Not sure if this is true, but I suspect certain sounds make me sleepy, such as the sound of airplane engines in the cabin, some projectors or airconditioning units. On most airplanes, it is near impossible for me to stay awake.

As has been mentioned before, that's not how it works. Your desire to be laid off is (often) an incentive for the company to keep you on. Eventually, you'll tire of waiting and do the reasonably thing (financially speaking, from t

Thank you everyone for this little thread. This is exactly what I am looking for when I read the comments to a video link!

Agreed, arguments will not convince them they are wrong. Data will not convince them they are wrong. Attempting to force them to vaccinate will not only make them fight more. In addition to fueling their arguments to grow their ranks, they

I wouldn't say that I am casually dismissing them, I am callously dismissing them. But seriously? What is the alternative? Moving closer and closer to forced vaccinations for everyone who can be vaccinated? This will only feed their di

As mentioned before, I was being sarcastic. Why does anyone believe that marginalizing or demonizing the antivax movement, that attempting to force them into submission, will do anything but strengthen their resolve? Even I am starting to w

If massive civil suits, huge fines and, eventually, forced vaccination won't convince everyone there is no massive conspiracy, then, pray tell, what will?
