I pay for a vpn service and whenever I'm on it google makes me go through a ton of captchas before I can search. The first time it happened I assumed I must've kept getting one wrong, it made me go through 10 or so. The next time

>But it’s simply not correct to claim that we’re stuck in the tradeoff our ancestors made when they settled down to farm. I mean we are because if we go back to hunting/gathering billions of people would die. The point is that that

I can't remember the name of the book I read this from so grain of salt/do your own research, but it was on the topic of why farming replaced hunting/gathering/migratory patterns. One of the reasons mentioned was because

Sounds reasonable to me. There are 2 outliers, and the rest are right around average.

At the moment the number of open jobs is not huge. The majority of companies that haven't had lay offs have simply closed their open positions. Combined with a ton of layed off developers, most job postings get hundred of applicants wi

Yes, the ceiling of the guarantee. If the bank has additional assets to be sold you can still receive more of your deposit back, but the government doesn't guarantee it.

C# also allows you to use blazor, eliminating the need for js/multiple languages to write a web app. I personally find that a much more fun way to program.

This sounds like it might be the same issue tbh, although I'm on windows. I'll give it a shot if I feel like switching back, thanks.

It wasn't a rendering issue, it was a network connectivity issue. I probably sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, but it is what it is. Switched to chrome and the network issue resolved immediately.

No, but at the same time I don't really want to diagnose my browser. I just want something that works.

I just switched back to chrome for the same reason. Every page in Firefox was taking 60+second to load. Tried it on chrome and pages were loading instantly. I had originally switched to Firefox for privacy concerns but that and the memory u

It went extinct due to human hunting and invasive species (rats, brought by humans) eating their eggs. While not exactly a solved problem, both of these things have been addressed for other species to help ensure they don't go extinct.

That sounds a lot more successful than most other industries. I don't think software engineers, or retail employees are getting half of the business' revenue. That sounds like a pro union example.

It doesn't sound like OPs current burn out is specific to this one job. Most people don't wake up on day 1 of burnout and say "oh man I'm burned out now." In my experience burnout creeps up over years and you only r

The problem is companies prioritize profits over humanities basic needs like a functioning planet and climate. Regulation should really be the solution imo. The cost of ruining the climate should be higher so companies are forced to change

Your quoted text explains it very simply too. These are social/political problems, they need social/political solutions.

Something can be both "simply a job" and different than most jobs. The argument is that sex work isn't inherently immoral, so deserves to be supported by our financial infrastructure. It's "simply a job" in the

I mean this in a polite way, but if college is the highest stakes one has experienced, then that's a pretty narrow experience of anxiety and difficulties life has to offer. To me that seems like a very fortunate life experience.

The great wall of china was partially funded by lotteries. I don't think anyone from the future is going to have anything to say about today's lotteries. Lotteries will probably still be popular in a hundred years.

I wouldn't assume the in office workers get more done because they go to the office, correlation != causation. It seems just as likely to me that the most dedicated, hard working employees are the ones willing to commute in to the offi

Depends on your definition of normal. I've interviewed with 10 companies or so over the last 6 months, ranging from FAANG to series B startups, all US based. One company asked me to sign an NDA, they're a well known public but non
