I'm just this guy. I'm not an ayn rand fetishist, a capitalist, or an alt-right white supremacist, unlike the rest of you.

How exactly does "SF: dirty, and full of angry people with extremist positions who've never had to reflect on their own opinions." add anything to this conversation? This is just typical right-wing bias complaining that the bay area isn't new york, or dallas, or whatever.

Sure. In the meantime, please leave the bay area since you hate it so much. If you're not from here, please don't visit, you'll be happier.

I definitely worry about this, I've had this phone number for almost 20 years now.

Google voice has been all but deprecated at this point. The form for buying credits has been broken for a year, and calls calls to my google voice number no longer get forwarded to my phone / google hangouts.

The problem with co-working spaces is that there are too many techies there. Sometimes they're fascinating and you want to engage with them, which destroys concentration (in a semi-welcome way), but more often-than not they're populated by self-involved extroverted tech-bros who won't shut up.

Home-office, cafes, parks and libraries have been my offices of choice as a remote worker for the past decade.

2038? Does this have to do with Epoch time ending somehow?

So essentially the republicans are trying to force (telephone pole) rent control onto cities ? Commies.

I recently began a new position at a company which has had a bit of turbulence in the past year. While getting up to speed someone said, "We had this other guy a while back who was great, but he ghosted us and we didn't realized it until we checked our AAA logs to see when he had last authenticated".

I wondered if it was an old colleague of mine with a 15+ year reputation for ghosting employers when he was burned out, so I asked, and of course it was.

I usually leave on good enough terms to have a conversation with my boss, but I ghosted an incredibly abusive employer once, and it felt pretty good.

Glassdoor does provide the ability to review the interview process itself which somewhat fits the bill.

Considering Israel is increasingly succeeding in making it illegal for Americans to protest them, I would answer your question with, "A minute ago?"

You just described what it's like to work for all global arms contractors, not to mention Palantir.

With my logging setup right now (ELK + Fluentd) org-wide we have ~120 dashboards, and the overall setup costs us about $750 per month in resources. This would be a 700% increase for us. A 2x-3x increase would be worth it I think, but not that much.
