The former Googler used to be a Product Manager and I thought I would get some valuable insights. For as high up as he made it, I have no interest in learning how Google operates after seeing his interactions with others.

Through hard work and some dumb luck, I've also interacted with other Fortune 10/50 corporations at the VP level. I wasn't impressed with them either. So it's not just an anti-Google thing.
I didn't see any discussion of blind trust. The first point was about focusing on looking at the trust and figuring out how it could be built up.
> both the recruiter and my new manager explained to me that I should think of the 10% bonus as a baseline expected part of my salary

If a company does this in Europe [I think generally in the EU], I believe it would then be considered a contractual entitlement and part of your salary - so the company would legally have to pay it anyway.
Stairs are radically underappreciated. Great for leg strength and general fitness. Walking up stairs (say in at a train station) is almost always faster than using an escalator, even if you're not particularly fit. Walking up an escalator is even faster, of course, but there's a always a couple of muppets getting in the way. Stairwells, unlike lifts, haven't been implicated in coronavirus transmissions either, so that's an extra bonus. And if you're a gym person, the stairmaster seems like the least popular piece of equipment, so it's almost always available for use.
Air tables is a sign of this gs to come but we are not there yet. Our head of sales wants to use an air tables like product but upper management will not yield, we need a real CMS. I think this sort of thinking will delay the adoption of such tools.
Tangential: a while back I bought a very specific cheese from Lidl. And the very same evening I got a Lidl ad for that very cheese on Facebook. I have never signed up as a member, the only things that connect me to that place would be my credit card.

I did bring my Android phone that has got Messenger lite installed, but that's stretching it tbh.
How does a Peer-to-Peer cache work in regards to trust?
> Nobody was willing to work on his team because he was so rude.

I don't doubt this, but how much of this is the same exact thing we see of his current persona, which tends to have no tolerance for the BS Silicon Valley 'wokeness' and general softness with the Ivy league/Stanford CS types that generally are the rank and file and lower tier devs in most FAANGs?

I ask, because as a Californian that remembers the SV of the late 80s and 90s I felt utter disgusted by what it had become in the min 2010s when I moved there for a Summer wlaunching my startup and realized in the first week that what it had become was a massively distorted perversion of it's former self.

Money served as much as an insulator to keep their norms fixed and provided as a (compromised?) barrier of entry, as much as anything else, but somehow it was effective enough to negate the obscene amount of human misery due to massive homelessness and wealth inequality you see on every corner.
I've been hunting for good low code CRUD tools. I'm not having a lot of luck finding any good ones.
> Specialist doctors are not staying late on a Friday or working the weekend

This isn’t true. Obstetricians work 24 hour shifts as standard. Babies don’t get born 9-5.

If you come into the ER on a Friday night with severe brain damage you’re seeing the neurologist immediately. If you have a punctured lung you’re not waiting for the pulmonologist to clock in at 9AM.

Nearly all medical specialties work shift patterns or are required to be on call.
The public perception is still that Intel is superior. If you don't have Intel products available or with a competitive price, you will lose market share.

Remember that most people are tech illiterate (or not savy enough) to know/care about technical details more than they trust marketing and brands.
Yes haha, I've also been 'cheating' myself to walk more. Grocery planning as you mentioned, also picking up food from far away restaurants that I miss due to the lockdown.

I like how everybody here uses this website for some profound mathematical purposes, but I once won a cordless drill due to the OEIS in high school. At some hackathon Bosh had a booth with a contest where you had to solve puzzles which consiststed mainly of finishing integer sequences. I remembered this encyclopedia and I found all of them on the oeis.
I think we'll all reading too much into this. Without knowing the details of what specifically the CEO, CTO, and others did, I don't think any of us can express much judgement.

This anonymous poster stayed on topic and told us about a leadership challenges and the personal trials and tribulations of dealing with the challenge. Personally, I'm glad to have read this tidbit and thankful they shared it. They likely can't provide more details for legal reasons and they certainly don't want to bring attention to this part of their career.

This article was great. It is known that counting calories on itself helps with getting thinner, and walking it's known to have many benefits as well. Now I'd love to see how much of the improvements were based on walking itself, vs calorie counting, vs calorie restriction.
I was seeing this happen in our household as well. For now, the only answer I have is using UBlock everywhere + having PiHole up and running. These two really go a long way for at least blocking the creepy ads, but I think we have passed the point of no return when it comes to preventing tracking itself. Everything is being tracked all the time by insanely advanced ad-tech.
What you are saying in second paragraph is not true. Mainly because if you mine BTC in China, you buy equipments and energy using RMB. After mining, you have BTC. If you sell BTC for USD, most likely those USD will not come into China. Bring USDs to China is not as easy as you think, there is also a quota for it (50k per year). If you sell BTC for RMB, there is no transaction to USD at all.

Yes, it is illegal for Chinese banks to do transaction for cryptos, but it is still legal to transfer money to others in exchange for crypto (p2p). WeChat, Bank Transfer and AliPay all being available in exchange. Holding crypto is not illegal in China, also mining is not illegal.

I believe there are still a lot shady business going on for those buying cryptos with RMB. It is quite easy for Chinese to buy/sell crypto at the moment.

Actually the same happens in stock market. When Chinese companies go for IPO in the US, they will typically keep the fund in US, rather than bring them back to China to make it easier to do business in dollars without restriction of Chinese financial system.

I occasionally reverse-engineer code from that era for fun and it's still very manageable. Imagine what it will be like reverse-engineering our current code in 30 years. Everything is just so much more complex.
One thing I’ve found very recently is that walking outside early in the mornings does wonders for your sleep.

I’ve been a light, disrupted sleeper for as long as I can remember, but a walk outside and getting daylight on retina has the effect of shutting down melatonin levels, properly starting your day in biological terms. Now I hit 11:30pm and feel genuinely sleepy, which is novel in and of itself and get nearly double the deep sleep I was getting before.

Doing the exact same walk at midday does not have the same effect.

The impact of feeling genuinely rested and refreshed is life-changing.
Yes and we also let children work in factories, mines etc.. We also didn't have road rules for example. Also regarding your example of fireplaces, the fireplace was obviously dangerous, a treadmill standing somewhere is not obviously dangerous.

It's funny because the consequence of the argument around not expecting companies to build safe equipment is that parents should be constantly watching their children because something could be potentially dangerous. It achieves exactly the opposite of what how our grandparents grew up.
I prefer to use python-mechanize for this kind of “automate a human clicking their way through a web flow to do some stuff” work. It’s most useful for web page scraping but it would also work on this scenario - EXCEPT if the site in question relies on JavaScript to work, as mechanize can’t handle that.

Selenium sounds like a good alternative if JavaScript is required, but it is more involved to set up and more resource-intensive. I didn’t see mention of whether the author looked into using mechanize, but it would have been an interesting thing to consider.
> Why can't we get rid of Real-estate agents all together?

You can. Buy a home from the owner. If everyone did that, the real-estate agents will actually provide value when they exist.
I doubt Voltaren is advertised commonly enough that he got ads before.

I no longer have a Android phone, but too frequently I would buy something offline and have the item follow me - including impulse buys and things that I definitely didn't look for online.

It happened with things I would talk about as well on occasion. I joked in front of my phone about visiting Greece, and a few minutes later auto-suggest in Google offered me "How much.. [is plane tickets to Greece]"
Yes, I live here. Have YOU used it?
Some poorer countries in Europe may have worse healthcare, but it usually has more to do with corrupt government not spending enough on it (but instead on fking stadiums...), and the much much better paycheck on the west (that is west Europe) causing massive migration of educated workforce throughout the years.

What objective problem can you bring up? Wait time is propaganda, not worse than in the US. Private healthcare is simply immoral and barbaric, a constant, externally determined demand for something should not be exploited. And one nation level insurance is the cheapest and best way for everyone (other than the billionaires owning private healthcare facilities and insurances)

There used to be a great system called Rancher where you could self-host quite complex applications across multiple servers. It was just perfect and very easy to use.

I recently got asked to consult for a project. I warned not to go with AWS that the tools they were wanting to put online were not well suited to AWS.

Then I got sent a 15 page deployment document outlining the AWS infrastructure they had gone with. They paid megabucks and got a rube goldberg machine. To run a zend based PHP site developed 15 years ago that has never had any significant maintenance.

Second, disable GPS, and cellphone tower ID reporting (root needed.) So Google can't correlate you with sales records.

At the moment, there is no way to disable Google AGPS spying on the stock Android.

Third, block Google apps from reading your IMEI/IMSI/serial number, so they can't get AGPS data from your cellphone provider if it sells it.

I get Voltaren ads all the time on YouTube. I don't use it or any similar products. Maybe they just have a large advertising budget.
> we do. One just need to see the world beyond their own planet.

Heat death of the universe would like a world with you. And before you say that it is so damn far we should not care about it, meaningful space travel is similarly so. We should save our own planet because a goddamn apocalyptic Earth after ww3 is still a more livable place then any planet in the Solar system.

> It's been a few times now where I've talked with my wife about some new product (physically, in the room) and she starts seeing ads about it. I thought that was the explanation too, but it's happened too many times for comfort.

The wierdest instance of this is I told my wife her father should consider geting those fixed bridge dentures, next day I start seeing all-on-4 ads on the phone. I asked her if she looked it up (to rule out IP tracking) and she said she hasn't. It's a very random thing to advertise to me, I'm not the target group, I didn't look it up.

A lot of it is IP tracking - I'll start browsing for guitars or some other random stuff my wife has no interest in - she'll start seeing ads for it.
Indeed though I find it silly when I buy something like a laptop (I’m probably good for a couple of years) and start getting bombarded by “hey laptops galore!”ads. I just bought one, don’t need another !

It would be cleverer to identify the replacement cycle for each kind of product and only promote stuff the victim is likely to be looking for at that point in time (after 3 years likeliness of looking for a laptop replacement is higher).
Thank you for your valuable feedback! Happy to hear one more person confirms that the problem space I am trying to solve exists! I do agree that there is a lot of room for improvements in this version of my solution.

Could you tell me more about your experience with the pricing? From your impressions, did you think the Basic plan include "20 commands + 1000 tasks/month" or just "20 commands + 1000 tasks" or something else?

Thank you!

No reason one can't be both at the same time.
OP has a valid point. What's so painful about Laravel deployment that it requires Docker? And that's just for Laravel, then you need another for your database. Then if you're working from home most broadband connections will not be suitable for containers. The whole Docker/Kubernetes cult is a farce as far as solo freelancers are concerned. Making it an idiomatic default just smacks of elitism.
It is regularly used in coding contests too where some hard challenge can sometimes be found out to be some maths formula.
I suspect you are simply rowing without proper resistance, it's similar to how you can ride a bike by simply barely resting your feet on the pedals.

Rowing machines generally work you out very well, because they engage so many muscle groups and the same time, thus requiring a lot of oxygen being delivered to them. In fact rowers typically have the highest lactate tolerance of most endurance athletes.

Next time on the rower try to row with 2:00/500m timing using a stroke rate of ~24. If you can do that for 30min without having rowed for quite a bit i would be seriously impressed.
I think games that involve physical activity can benefit you hugely.

Yeah but neither of us had searched for that or anything, and I use DDG and uBO so it's not likely it'd be tracked.
I don't use those websites.
I don't think you need to divulge any sensitive details, but unless this is a "one in a million" occurrence, it's possible that others might be faced with a similar situation in the future, so it might be useful to share at least some broad details. Was HR concerned that it would lead to legal problems, e.g. an ADA violation or a claim of discrimination against a protected category? Or was it more like a nepotism issue? As a manager, I would likely handle those in different ways.

> On the other hand, when you just go in to work, do a reasonable amount of effort, then you can work better with others with less stress, and in the end, who cares about "those few extra units"?

That's exactly my MO. The extent to which many people start to overidentify with their job is almost comical. If they are lucky it may actually pay off at least. But more likely than not they are just deferring the inevitable conclusion that work is at the end of the day just a (hopefully enjoyable) waste of time so you can afford living.
Yes, I do too. But can you give an example of something that was removed which wasn't garbage?

I've just had my intellectual property stolen on a job platform
I recently tried to use a work platform (Fiverr) for the first time to monetise some of my valuable hard work. In this case it is closed-source code.

I gave a description of the product which specified "source code".

Once the order was made I transferred the information and the source code to the buyer.

The buyer then rejected the delivery and kept escalating the scope of the product. This continued and essentially became an argument. I contacted the CS and they have said they can not force a buyer to accept the order.

I find this absolutely disgraceful. I have been exploited by their system and the buyer. I handed over my work, my intellectual property, the code, and fulfilled the product as to the description.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there anyway I can get the money I am owed? The buyer has received the product for free.

With this method anyone could potentially exploit an intellectual property product such as code, writing, images and design etc-just order and receive the IP then reject delivery. I was the buyer on the other side of this transaction with someone in the past and had no issues-I paid for the IP and accepted the order.

As the deal has been made and fulfilled is there any legal action I can take to secure my payment?

Their terms state:

"- All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment and the delivery may not be used if payment is canceled for any reason."
It is a dude posting on his personal blog. He could reasonably ignore every suggestion.
as a buyer my agent totally acted for me and negotiated a 10% lower price for the property. Lower commission for them but still higher than 0% if the sale hadn’t gone through.
Use an iPhone?
Around the same timeframe as the Op (late 1990s) I worked for a no longer existing IT company where management some time before I started had the brilliant idea to pay sales bonuses based on forecasted sales. If you didn't make the sales you had to pay back the bonus on your next monthly pay.

Needless to say this really put the pressure on sales to get the contract signed - feasibility or profit margin be damned. Turnover in sales was really big as well, but then the company went from more than 300 staff to about 60 in the 2.5 years I worked there.

The company also had a matrix organization, where everyone in middle management had two bosses, one national, and one international. At one point my then boss got a new title and responsibilities on a Monday, for it to be changed to something else on the following Wednesday.

At least working there was quite educational.
