The average employee lasts well less than a year at a fast casual; this had little to do w/her background.

I am absolutely certain many of those kids are great at writing code; what I have found in the last ~3y of hiring candidates out of undergrad and/or masters programs is that they DO NOT interview well.

They can answer esoteric technical questions about software dev (I *assume* this is because they study for coding interview questions) but they cannot possibly answer more general questions about themselves, how they would operate in a real-world business setting, and/or how they might build something from soup to nuts.

I'm not asking them to give me real-world experience; but, I expect a college graduate to be able to think about questions asked critically and provide a coherent and thoughtful reply to that question. Even if it's technically 'wrong', the conversational nature is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT for any work I have done in my 25+ year career.

Anyone can have AI solve most esoteric technical coding problems now; interfacing ability w/others on the dev teams and the rest of the business is what is important in getting shit done.

Colleges need to start investing HEAVILY in leveling up their students in how to interview well.

"Ms. Mishra, the Purdue graduate, did not get the burrito-making gig at Chipotle."

I think this single sentence says more about it than anything else in the article.

I watch dogs (primarily overnight--most for 3-7 days but some 1 day and some >7d) via Rover. I make around $1500/month (pre-1099) and after their ~20% cut (of which most people give back to me in tips).

I WFH so the largely passive income is nice. I wouldn't have found as many people w/o a platform to do the heavy lifting for me in finding new dogs.

I am not advocating that we need to have these sorts of things in the market, but it does make for nice extra cash. YMMV.

"people would love ads if only they were more 'relevant'"

You'd have to be at minimum very out of touch if you actually believe that. At no point in time have I ever wanted advertisements. I just skip them where possible and when that's not an option I tune them out. Advertisements are mental pollution.

Why would anyone trust an advertisement to begin with? They're entirely biased. The company is paying to tell you stuff, do you really think they're going to give us an unbiased honest and objective opinion? No, they aren't, they're only going to tell us good things with through own positive biased lens, and biased opinions aren't just worthless, they're corrosive. So why would I trust or factor anything from any advertisement?

I used to screen scrape jail registry records for county jails in my home area. Though the IDs weren't exactly sequential, doing groups of 50 would get hits for two of the local counties.

What I found was that, while the website UI wouldn't show juvenile records, you could access them directly w/the ID. Surfacing it to the county took a day or so to find the right person but they quickly closed that hole, but who knows how many records were handed out to malicious actors over the years before I found it.

Each virtual machine will cost between $300 and $3,000 to migrate, if you engage external service providers
Yeah, if you hire a 3rd party consulting form to do it, it's going to cost a lot more than having your staff that manages your VM infrastructure. Here's the thing, if you have IT staff to do this, they can also handle the migration to another platform. I migrated to Proxmox VE and didn't have anywhere near those costs. Admittadly the infrastructure I manage is not 100+ hosts and 2000+ VMs, but still.

Let's get to the important stuff. Who wrote the article? A VMware bro.

In surprise news, a VMware marketing manager says moving away from VMware will be expensive, News at 11 everyone!

I'll see your Tik Tok ban, and raise you by one order of Freedom Fries!

There is no universally accepted definition for SUV, particularly across country boundaries. The only real differentiator seems to be available 4-wheel drive. Assuming the Ioniq 5 is the AWD versions and not the RWD ones, I guess it fits the most basic definition.

In my experience, PIPs are NEVER intended to be a tool to help you; they're intended to help the company find reasons to fire you.

Use the 90 days to find a new job; not try and pass the arbitrary/impossible to meet requirements.

Plus, once you've been put on a PIP, do you really want to continue working for a company that was literally trying to create documentation to fire you?

No; you don't.

My ex-wife stole ~$300K from me preparing for a divorce. It was up to me, the person who made the money, not the person who pfilered it, to prove she did so and it would have cost at least 1/3 of the money and the likelihood I could prove to the court it had been done, even though it was blatantly obvious what she did to be near 0.

The legal system is absolutely fucked and it needs to be changed.

I honestly want someone from Apple to explain to me why Chinese knockoffs smart watches allow notifications to go to my phone and my watch simultaneously as well as last >10 days on a charge, yet my supposedly superior Apple Watch (at 4x the cost) lasts barely a day and doesnâ(TM)t allow for this.

The only reason I use the Apple Watch instead is because my cheap Chinese knockoff for $27 didnâ(TM)t track swimming.

Ridiculous.

Why would anyone switch over?

Imagine you have an EV and there are these newfangled ICE vehicles. No longer will you need to constantly plug your car in. One 5 minue stop a week is all it takes! No more dragging power cords around in the winter every day at night. And hey, your range wouldn't go down in -10 temps any more either. Your cars newfangled gas container can be filled a near infinite amount of times and will alway have 100% capacity, plus it only takes 5 minutes to fill from empty to full and is doesn't require pre-conditioning in the winter. You can even put extra fuel in a smaller bonus can that will give you another 100+ miles of range. That extra 100 mile range can will cost you just $20! Different charger networks? A thing of the past, all pumps will work on all vehicles! Stop in to an ICE5000 dealership and take a test drive today!

You havenâ(TM)t been online dating have you? Believe me, women are incredibly choosy, even if they have no ability to realistically be so.

Iâ(TM)ll never get married again. Iâ(TM)m paying out a significant amount in alimony, child support, lost my house, incurred significant debt due to my ex stealing and hiding assets in preparation for divorce, lost 70K in legal fees to no positive outcome, have no cash while she will be flush with it from QRDOs.

Who the fuck thinks they should ever do this shit again? Seriously; why?
