if someone slips in front of your house because you failed to clear snow from the sidewalk I believe you can get fined or sued

Justin Trudeau has been in power for 6 years and now he finally wants to address a problem that contributes to a percentage as large as 4% of the real estate market. This man will seriously say whatever feel good crap people wanna hear but don’t actually address problems just to hold onto power.

And yet the amount of support he somehow still has in Canada makes me feel reassured it was a good decision to leave, people in this country will vote for whoever’s most woke even if their actions tell the exact opposite of what they said they stand for.

It used to be fun when it was just my friends, sure once in the while you get that annoying person who’s trying to live a completely different life on social media but overall funny memes, shitposting with friends, checking in at places. Until Facebook implemented the ultimate evil suggestion feature and brought in news articles then everything went to hell.

You are basically saying because some of you believe in God you have the right to force your beliefs on everyone else which is the biggest issue I have with so called pro-lifers. Pushing their religion and worse yet mixing that into policy making.

It's nothing but a feel-good virtue signal boost. Worked for one that fully enabled casual sexual harassments and practiced frat-culture of pressuring workers into drinking alcohol, wouldn't think twice between aggressive cash-burning and laying off workers, severely underpays people who have been with the company for years. CEO blatantly told a journalist to call 1800-EAT-D**. The fact that such company can get certified makes this program a joke.

also QR code for contact information sharing is big in Asia, kind of like a handy digital business card

i take lesson once a week from a teacher and the primary focus is technique and learning pieces. I'm also in a facebook group where there are some music scholars who like to study the history, culture and systems related to this instrument. After ~8 months of learning I feel more comfortable with the basic techniques now so I've ventured into reconstructing ancient scores and the group has been helpful in helping me understanding certain notations.

Guqin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guqin been a long-time wish of mine to learn it, finally took the pandemic as the opportunity to do so since I'm staying home so much.

Vessi shoes: https://vessi.com best shoes I've worn, feels likes slippers, lightweight and waterproof, perfect for the rainy PNW weathers

Jumping on the Facebook hate wagon is what gets you clicks these days. Apple stated their policies, Facebook did what they asked and complied. It is their business model and revenue being threaten, I don’t understand what else should be done on their end. Mind you, with this policy change and Apple being on their privacy-morale high horse, the other day I found out for Apple to track you for personalized ad targeting is an Opt-out instead of opt-in like they request from all app developers on their platform.

But why? Something I never understand about Twitter is, for your claim, people who have interesting things to say and you want to read about. Why would people be interested in reading a huge essay broken down to 50 tweets instead of just reading a blog posts where you can post comments and discussions in a fashion that makes sense and doesn’t lose the context of the original topic?

My dog

Playing Music

Eating at restaurants

that is my guess too. It certainly feels like "there is no good place to keep money". There is so much instability around the world at the moment, it feels even the traditionally more stable ones like real estate and gold are at jeopardy. People are fusing money into anywhere that's seemingly more safe than cash just to make the most out of it in the event that any major political shift happens.

that is not true in the event of war or major political movements

No, I don't want to have other people here when I'm here. I pay more just to avoid having roommates etc.

and you just perfectly highlighted the toxicity of twitter in that sentence. Just because someone is popular doesn't mean everyone should like/listen to them if they do not find the person's content aligns with them.

Gosh, I particularly resonate with point #2 although all of them are good points. It seems people on twitter are all constantly angry about something, and it's a platform for the squeakiest wheels to find most success regardless of the quality of their content.

I never understand why so many people in the tech field are fond of it, it's nearly impossible to have any meaningful conversions or real connections.

I have huge anxiety talking on the phone, I absolutely hate it and won't do it unless it's the government/legal related tasks which has no other way for me to perform other than calling.

Having the video on helps a ton, also rely on text chat a lot and try to go into a call prepared on the topics that need to be discussed.

I wonder what happened... the early days of FB you're still somewhat close to your friend circle and therefore most of the content were personal updates. At then at some point Facebook started suggested links, posts that you have not explicitly followed, news articles that may or may not have been verified. Now every time I check the comments under such posts, it's people arguing with each other, and then people share and spread whatever they see from these suggested posts looking to confirm their existing beliefs even more strongly. And then people for some reason started believing they "own" the right to write whatever they desire on their wall, and it's a platform for spreading their political opinions.

Just less than 10 years ago, it would've been considered very rude to push your religious or political opinions on to others, especially when it's a professional setting it would've been considered highly unprofessional. But nowadays that line doesn't seem to exist anymore.

it works both ways, the ironic thing is people on either side of the spectrum believe they're the good ones and the other side that should be removed by facebook, and don't recognize they're part of the problem themselves.

I miss the days when Facebook was about sharing personal connections, stupid and fun stuff, as a shy kid in high school who didn't speak very good English, facebook has helped me made friends and connect with kids in my school as I was more comfortable talking to them online. Hard to imagine that would ever take place with the way Facebook is today, where you log on to scream at other people's political opinions which are different from yours.

I have the opposite issue, also have around 5 years of experienced, for more than once I have been perceived as a junior during interviews and then after working for 2-3 months managers and teams would throw comments like “we under-leveled you, let’s get you a promo and fix it” “you’re more senior than I thought”. I don’t know what gives the impression during interviews and it’s starting to frustrate me, I just want to be brought in at the right level that reflects what I’m able to offer. I’m a woman if that matters at all and I wonder if anyone else has encountered that and can offer some advice.

I'm liking Hey so far, but this is frankly a huge bummer

why is this downvoted, I have the same genuine question

I’d argue Shopify is simple and pretty cost effective for small businesses. The most complicated part comes from initial technical setups like pointing to the right domain name and setting up payment gateways which not everyone knows how to do. Can your platform make it easy enough so that someone that’s not tech savvy won’t need any developer help?

if an engineer can't make impact until 6 months later is this engineer even worth hiring? Large organizations typically take longer time to ramp up, but regardless of size I expect to make impact at least to my team within the first month of hiring.

Why do so many people suspect OP has ADHD? Isn’t it more common for people to give up when faced with hard problems than not? It usually takes experience and training to learn to become persistent at hard problems. I’m definitely much better at keep at a difficult goal now compared to my early 20s due to mindset change and experience. Seems backwards to assume it’s a medical problem at as soon as OP mentions that, and I feel the need to point out it’s a dangerous direction our society has slipped into assuming every imperfection with a person has to do with mental disorder.

After reading these posts of people being laid off after 10+ years and having a hard time coping with it, I’m kinda glad I was laid off less than a year into my first job when there wasn’t even a crisis.

To OP, layoffs are very common now and know that more will come soon because of COVID, it’s not within your control and doesn’t make you a bad developer, companies need to make cuts at times like this to keep afloat, you don’t need to blame yourself.

Take a deep breath, it may take more than a week to recover and don’t be hard on yourself. I’d find it hard to believe that you’ve truly overcame all the stages of grief in just a week, when I was laid off the first week I was still going through denial, and was trying to find a new job ASAP to prove myself. By the look of your post chances are you’re still in denial too. You have 15 years of exp under your belt, give it time to think about where you’d like to go and what you’d like to be doing in your next role, it will come to you sooner or later.

Yea everytime I see these articles I question why there are not more people voluntarily committing suicide or giving up procreation

I don’t care about new bedding or subscription app, I just wish there’s an employer who’d let me take a good 15-30min nap during lunch, without being judged. I secretly sneak into my car to nap and it makes a huge difference in my afternoon productivity.

I love dogs and being able to bring a dog to the office is a huge appeal for signing up for a job, dogs only have 10-15 years of lifespan so I want to make sure the days count. But I can see how it can be annoying for people who require a non-disruptive environment to work.

Bring it up with your management that it bothers you, then the ball is in their court whether they wanna make change to the policy. If it doesn't work out then all I can say is you'll be better off to find a place where the environment fits what you're looking form, also they should disclose this policy and situation upon hiring someone.

I will get annoyed and leave if the office has a toddler policy because I don't like children at all, but I won't blame the owners of the company if that's what they want, it just so happened I landed at a place where my interest don't fit with the rest.

I actually hold a more optimistic view toward the effect of people not staying up to date with the news, I feel like a good part of reason why there are so much anger in the world right now, and political spectrum becoming more extreme is partially due to how news get reported, you rarely rarely see an objective view of matters on news. They're often used as PR outlets for political parties.
