That doesn’t apply to all engineering. In ChE, it’ll literally blow up later…

It’s a natural thing that occurs when your pay is based on stocks that respond heavily to quarterly results. Stay in for 2 - 3 years, drive stock prices up, get out, and leave the mess for the next leadership team.

Streaming services didn’t exist when this court case happened. Many artists were already suing Napster, but weren’t famous enough to get publicity. Someone released an unfinished edit of “I disappear” which is what triggered Metallica to get involved. Dr Dre also jumped into the suit but I’ve never heard anyone talk about boycotting his music or the music he produced.

This will ultimately lead to world peace as every army is in meetings all day.

Best town in the world.

Currently Firefox on the iPhone is still running Safari. It’ll soon change for folks in the EU only.

What are you doing on a cell phone for that cost? There are international phone plans that would be so much cheaper.

Unfortunately the Reverb G2 will be junk when WMR is removed from Windows.

That’s a really great point. I like to reserve my Friday afternoons for side projects or learning. This gives me something fun to look forward to and keeps me in touch with engineering.

There’s no research showing that it is an effective treatment.

What’s your metric that you improved 600%?

Why are you using vinegar in your ears? That’s not typical.

It’s not just implemented by tech companies, it’s pretty standard across the board for salaried positions.

Performance improvement plan.

I don’t use one, only the official carrying case when it is not being used. I don’t see the point as I’m not using it while walking or moving.

I can say that in my case in New Zealand, there was one store to buy the uniforms and shoes with no exception. Everyone was equal and had the same set of clothes to wear, the only exception is that the boys wore grey and green and the girls had the option of white. The uniforms are still the same decades later.
