I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies. Location: SF Bay Area. Remote: Yes, preferr

Damn, you beat me to it. Reveal codes is the ultimate hammer against screwy formatting. No more wondering why your layout went screwy 10 pages away from where you made some minor change to your text, a graphic, or a table. With "reve

Sorry, but that doesn't explain why admin specifically decided to call out the fact that I called out a "celebrity CEO." And, this disagreement is necessarily personal. Although I'm glad you agree with me, I'm no

Guess what? It can happen to you, too, if you dare criticize a celebrity CEO. I got flagged & chastised for “breaking the guidelines” over a comment that stated facts about a certain CEO whose initials are TK. Remember when y’all kept s

Why do people always want to fix problems arising from capitalism by doing more capitalism?

by pmiller2 5y ago
The people named in one of your examples didn't actually encourage, incite, or support violence; people in the other example did.

Charging for things just because you can is a capitalist mindset, however. Besides, hospitals will never be more competitive than an oligopoly in most cases, simply because only so many are built in any given geographic area, and most peo

If they’re already not paying attention, what’s left to lose?

That’s very close to what Triplebyte does.

How is that relevant to anything?

I don't see what's dubious about it. There doesn't seem to be any evidence the quote was fabricated, and the effects of US drug policy are apparent to anyone who lifts their head out of the sand. You don't think Nixon c

You don't think selective enforcement is about exertion of power?

by pmiller2 5y ago
Except you have it backwards. The "War on Drugs" came about as a way for the state to exert power over youth and minorities. > “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar lef

Oh, no, I wasn't thinking of putting the Pi into the toothbrush. I was thinking of it as a separate device: literally a pushbutton that toggles a GPIO pin that triggers hitting a web API to text you a congratulatory or encouraging m

by pmiller2 5y ago
That sounds like a job for a Raspberry Pi[0] with a pushbutton wired up to a GPIO pin. Push the button after you brush, have it text you a congratulatory message. It's slightly less functional than a Bluetooth toothbrush, but respect

Taking away a few percent of a company's profit, while still leaving a quite substantial profit margin is not "killing the company." There needs to be some teeth behind these fines to make companies respect them. You may no

I'm sure they report their revenue like that, so, yeah, probably?

by pmiller2 5y ago
That's the thing that really gets me. GDPR fines can be anywhere from 2-4% of annual revenue (not profit, revenue ), yet none have even come close. I guarantee you if you took 4% of Facebook's gross revenue right off the top, t

I describe what I do in different ways, depending on who I'm talking to and how I feel about work. Sometimes, when I'm feeling good about things, I say "I make the internet," or "I tell computers what to do, and th

I wouldn't. A humble, untalented (I'd rather say "unskilled" here) programmer is one who knows they're unskilled and wants to learn. I'll take someone who knows they have a lot to learn over someone who think

Except that's not true. There are 4 endemic coronaviruses already that cause the common cold, and we can most definitely get reinfected with them: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/common-cold-coron...

You just described the entire food service industry. Chipotle is far from the only offender, or even the only big offender.
