Personally I cycle, I also have bad knees and I do think it’s easier on them

Agree, it’s a daily thought for me but no one cares. I’ve made my home as stable against it as I can, but I see everyone else just not giving a fuck. Honestly I’m not having kids because of climate change, all experts point to death and destruction and I see no need to bring children into that. The people who downplay it have no scientific experience and a lot of backers who want to keep the status quo.

Agree, and I’m someone who hates working out. Someone recently commented on exercising like “why would I choose to be miserable to 30 minutes a day”, and I can honestly say it’s because it makes you feel so much better the other 23 1/2 hours day. The smallest bit of cardio will make you more energetic, you don’t get winded going up stairs, you can move easier, it’s such a win. Yes it’s miserable, but it is worth it.

From the article:

For those wondering why this is on my network, this belongs to my parents. I don’t police what they buy. I just help with their network, but this is a learning experience for them

I saw a PR to a project I follow that involves a specific piece if hardware. There are about 10 “solutions” in pr now of scammers trying to claim the bounty. None of them have even bothered to get the piece of hardware necessary to actually test their fixes. It’s disgusting.

I’m very happy for Claude starting to mark their code, and hope it becomes easier to detect. I’m actually all for ai being used to solve these issues, but I think it should make you ineligible to collect a bounty on it if you use AI.

Hey, this is great. If Google wants their services to be less secure then so be it.

Very neat!

I follow several creators who autopse failed companies. 4 out of 5 times it seems like a leveraged buyout. I have no idea why it’s legal anymore. Kmart is an example off the top of my head.

Private equity lives doing it. Take a moderately floundering company. Buy the company by leveraging the companies’ own value where the company has to pay it back. Square the company as much as possible, paying minimum payments and hoover all profits to the private equity firm. File bankruptcy and write off the company when its empty.

Even if they do having the cartels demand in China cut is going to hurt. Demand is dropping in the datacenters market and supply is hitting, this is all fear lingering from them to get us to buy now at the peak

Never said I defended it, in fact first thing I said was that you should be able to. I said I’ve played the game for a long time and have learned the arbitrary rules, and honestly do pretty well in interviews. Feel free to do whatever you want, as I said to others, it’s your job prospects, not mine.

I disagree. It’s a first amendment thing, and this is a public figure? Was it crass? Absolutely. Should we start criminalizing people for calling out politicians even when it’s crass? I don’t think so.

Sounds like she was hurling racial slurs and segregating them.

Oh I love that one! The oh you were offended? Then I was joking of course!

My mother has a habit of giving insincere non apologies, and I started to reject them because I know their fake. Whether it’s the standard “I’m sorry if you are offended/your feelings are hurt”, I’m just over them. No thanks. Change the behavior.

If you have the means and ability to pick your jobs and that’s the hill you want to die on, more power to you.

Hey I say go for it. You’re risking your chance at the job, but it’s not my life.

I will never ever understand this. Espeicially in this case. Why does she get the “critics” (Reddit commenters who probably masturbate to her anyway).

Their government is the one who failed, they should be getting the critics. It’s the orphan crushing machine, no one is asking why she felt she needed to front money for schools in the first place

That’s so close to Parks and Rec’s “The Reasonabelists”

Ha, I’ve been following this whole thing and it’s just so funny to me. It’s such a younger generation thing, maybe I’m older and so I’ve just “played the game” a lot. The whole thing is should you be able to take your drink of choice? Of course! However, would I do that? Hell freaking no I wouldn’t.

Going into an interview from the first glance they’re judging you to see if you’re a good fit. Granted you’re also judging them but let’s be honest, it’s pretty lopsided. If I go in I want them to see my best foot forward, it means I’m putting on a show for the next hour (or more nowadays) so that you want to hire me. I’m not bringing in anything that alters that view of me. Iced coffee, hot coffee, nothing. Maybe a neat folder of a couple spare resumes and a notebook I can take notes in. I plan ahead, I’ll usually be at a coffee shop before the interview anyway (it helps make sure I’m there on time, get there 30-60 mins ahead of time and chill at a coffee shop), and then walk over for the interview.

Bringing a drink or anything extra is just something that now they’re thinking about, and you don’t want them thinking about you in that way. It’s something else that you put on the table, you’re taking sips of, for cold drinks it’s condensing and leaving a ring, and then you have to ask for a trash. All benign things but again, you’re in their house and why would you want to bring any negative attention at all to them? I’ve had interviewers who were obviously just having bad days say no to me for arbitrary bullshit already, why add to that? It all seems like an unnecessary gamble for no reason at all.

Now if they offer coffee or a drink when you get there (hopefully they do) I’m all for it. They offered, it’s free game. Go wild. Just don’t get picky.

I know this is a wall of text but I’ll also say that as an interviewer I don’t care at all if they do, as long as they’re professional and it doesn’t get in the way. If it’s distracting, you’re shaking the ice, or slurping out the last bits, or whatever, yeah it’s going to distract me. I’m not going to be annoyed because you brought coffee, but I will be annoyed if you aren’t appearing to take an interview seriously.

And now unfortunately bringing it after this whole social media thing is basically wearing a target on your… front? face? that says “I’m making a statement” and will absolutely label you a troublemaker to any HR person (because you know every HR person has seen this). It’s also probably tainted it for 5-10 years as they’ll keep remembering this.
