This is why you rarely see a 1977 Thunderbird. They had a way of blowing up spontaneously. Watch any episode of Charlie's Angels and you'll see.

And in certain states that don't let you pump your own fuel, so a station may have one yutz for 16 pumps.

I've seen TI Explorer LISP machines where return/enter was on the *left*. The most pervasive flaw, though, was when IBM swapped control and capslock keys, sometime around the AT.

Connectivity monopolies don't seem like a good idea to me.

Don't eat the brown acid. In those 3-5 years, how many other people will you have infected?

And 15% in two years is not a spike. Another of the data reduction techniques they implemented was to refuse to back up OS/Application directories. So if there's something for which you don't have an installer, you're screwed, unless you stash tarballs elsewhere in the tree, which is a pain.

That number is underreported when you consider the entire cost, including growing grain and clearing rainforests to feed inefficient livestock. Nonetheless even 10% would be plenty significant.

What few will talk about is that we also need to stop breeding ourselves into extinction.

At a certain large employer that you've heard of, getting an internal grade bump is nearly impossible. It's more common to leave then come back a grade or two higher. This is an employer that loves them some contractors too, 80% of which are honestly worthless to net liabilities. Once you get to a grade 12 or higher, though, your bonus target climbs to 25% and the RSUs flow like water used to.

Indeed, as a hiring manager I've received nine page resumes that include age or 20 years of work history - common advice is to leave off anything more than 10 years ago. It ages one and isn't relevant in most cases. Some application forms do have a required box for graduation date, which is clearly an end-run around age discrimination. Sometimes I'll put in like 1900.

You're absolutely right. The point that is rarely made about policies like this is that they are in part an end run around anti-discrimination laws. Who isn't in a position to move to the silly valley and live in the parking lot? People with mortgages and families. Who mostly aren't in their 20s. Google median age is listed as 31. I have to believe that the median age of new hires is even lower. I interviewed with them 3 times before I gave up. Each time it was clear that I didn't have a chance going in, they were only talking to me for demographics.

If you want to own a home, too bad. If you want to smell something other than urine and tobacco smoke whenever you step outside, too bad. If you want to spend less than 80% of your income on housing that gains you no equity, you're in luck. Fsck NYC.

Iâ(TM)d be happy if he went up and never came down. So tired of his face.

Mine is living in the past. Forcing most people to work in teh_office at least 3 days a week. Have to work 4 or more to even have a dedicated cubicle. Because in his 30+ years of experience he hasnâ(TM)t figured out that we arenâ(TM)t using vt102â(TM)s as desktops and have actual tools now. Collocation != collaboration. Such policies are discriminatory against those with families and disabilities. Requiring everyone to live in the backwater where you have the most buildings, when he doesnâ(TM)t himself.

I get that from LinkedIn. Offshore recruiters trying to get me to leave my job and relocate for some lame-ass junior contract.
