>be working on a profit center rather than a cost center. I automate jobs. But my company sells products. Is that profit? It seems like a cost, but we eliminate head count. Hmm saying it out loud. We make profit, just not revenue.

Does this apply to hitting trees/poles? That's a lot of extra force you need to stop.

Disagree. Microsoft sells these as "unskilled", but at the end of the day, you still need skill but also perseverance. At least SQL is old enough to get plenty of relevant search results. You can be a copy-paste DJ if you really c

After getting one of these short domains/urls and it not working on my browser, I'll be a late adopter. I think I spent like $30/yr on whatever I bought too.

>Cost cutting measures to entire company functions Isn't that obviously what op is asking? Me and 18k people were let go in 2018. I was contract, so I knew what was going to happen. I was hired by a different company who was confide

I hope to have one of these articles about FreeCAD one day. Maybe the stakes are lower for movies than engineering and that's why it hasn't happened yet.

Is technical limited to the publically available numbers? Or reading a vision statement, watching commercials, etc.... Because that is getting less technical and more feely. With some exception (Tesla), technical analysis has major limitati

I'm having our third kid in December and we need a bigger car. No idea what to do. Wait? Used are the same price as new.

I know I should hate google for some reason, but despite the SEO spam, they are still better than bing and duck duck go. I think my cocktail of degoogled Google products + adblock solutions + being that person who doesn't care about pr

I'm still fuming at your story. But I'm happy that you perceive this as a good experience. I wish whatever tricks Apple used, they could implement at the Post Office and Car Dealerships. I don't even care if I have to undergo

I think the drugs thing is more common than anyone wants to admit. Of course caffeine is huge, but we had a 10x type programmer who suddenly went full 180 degrees. Turns out he stopped taking his Adderall. My company tried to hide it by say

The time of innovation is over, the time of cashing in and preservation has come? I think of the automotive industry. Big tech will start to diversify, start banks, buy appliance companies, buy suppliers/vertical integration. I believe

I saw the astroturfing as early as 2016. It blows my mind that people aren't more outspoken about the threat. I even see people defend it "you really think a trillion dollar company is going to be advertising here?" Yes duh?

People might get bored of it too. I know those ultra addictive clicking games were part of my childhood. As an adult I have no interest. Thank God because I see my parents wasting time. At least when I was a kid I had no money and was bored

That's too bad bud. I make enough money that it's obvious that I just buy whatever I want.

I just got a brand new phone with an Aux port, I have 1 set of $2 earphones at each desk, in each car, next to my running stuff, gym bag, backpack, etc ... I had to pay a premium for a phone with an aux port, but extra features are worth it

Yikes!.... Not sure if I want to advance brain science, maybe these companies can be legally held accountable... Or maybe gambling companies will get to the research first and manipulate us.

This is because you are upper middle class. Among the working class and teenage population, it is a status symbol. We have our own in the upper middle class and we are similarly exploited. Luxury cars + a honorable cause is one that comes t

Does anyone else see gambling as worse than ever? Maybe I'm young and didn't experience it, but in the 90s you would plan a trip to Vegas and lose a few hundred dollars. Today I see people doing this from their phone on every rand

In my 20s I'd agree with the premise. Now that I've seen high performers deviate from their job and make mistakes in the core role, I understand that even good workers benefit from managers. I can even say the same thing about pro

Every time I read more about marketing (for my business) it enrages me more. I basically don't use twitter, but I find myself on the platform in rants about how exploitive and manipulative some people are willing to be. There is one co

Nothing enrages me like US healthcare. Physicians have a monopoly on treatment and restrict supply through the ACGME. Hospitals and physicians have spent 1Billion on lobbying. I could go on, I want a science based healthcare as an alternati

I'm here for the JS comments. I'm amazed at how quickly I can throw together a front end feature in JavaScript on my otherwise html site. Really all of web impressed me over the desktop/app counterparts. I wrote and read to&#
