The general point seems to be that the Fed can only do 1 substantial thing for the economy, raise or lower interest rates. (yada yada quantitative easing, forward guidance) And interest rates, devoid of any true monetary policy, creates a

I think that’s the point. Elon takes the “freedom from consequences” interpretation of free speech when it comes to his complaints about twitter and “cancel culture”, then turns around and effectively cancels these employees for speaking th

This is easily solved for with a decent rain jacket and rain pants. When I started commuting via ebike I was convinced I would take the bus or drive on rainy days, but in reality I’ve found that riding in the rain (with rain gear) is still

In my first dev job I was hired as 1 in a pair of jrs to start at the same time on the same team. We never got along. After about a year I was promoted and the other person was let go for performance reasons. I never really put myself in th

So the only good candidates for a recruiter are the ones willing to let their recruiter break the law and make a salary history a requirement for consideration? WA state law makes it very clear as a candidate I don’t need to share salary in

I was recently talking to a 3rd party recruiter who started asking me for detailed salary info of all my past jobs. I told him that I didn’t feel comfortable answering that, then when he pushed back I told him I’m legally not required to gi
