I'd love to see data on RTO mandates vs real estate lease/own status.

For companies that own, Low occupancy = asset write downs = higher cost of capital.

Pop culture is weird. Click bait becomes engrained in the zeitgeist.

Nothing new about doing the bare minimum to get paid at a job while quietly searching for a new job.

The end of my career is uncertain. My entire career has been uncertain. Not completely unplanned, but rather has progressed in ways I could never have predicted.

I had luck and opportunity to ride the cloud computing wave and it carried me into software development and distributed analytics systems, from a B.A degree in business. 20 years of lateral moves up to Sr. Level, but never outside of IC, yet.

I daydream about turning my DIY skills into some type of construction trades business while I am physically able. Or testing the waters with software consulting.

Manager role is not appealing working for someone else's company although just like construction trades, being an apprentice in that role is probably going to be the best way to learn it. I dread the meetings and politics and employee reviews. But if I really want to run my own business, at some my point I may need to be a manager on someone else's payroll. Even if just for a year.

I am used to the term "thinking out loud." Isn't talking always "out loud?"

Which is the correct usage of the term?

I see 2 way to do this. A company (and PM) sees demand for the feature and they include it, ot it is forced by regulation.

A lot of these companies that originally had open standards formed with huge amounts of VC money and they prioritized growth over everything else. Then when they reached a certain scale, investors valued profitability and they slowly squeezed and monetized users until all of those open standards features were gone.

Amazon owns most of its downtown Seattle real estate.

Low occupancy means balance sheet write downs, and higher cost of capital.

What was your parents' reaction when you quit drinking?

Congrats on being in recovery. 400+ days myself. Also drank a lot in college but didn't have parents pressuring me. They looked the other way.

Venn diagram of helicopter parenting and alcoholism?

Why?

Rubbing the opening side of the bag between your palms generates static and opens it too. Learned that from a meat department employee who saw me struggling one day.

The ones at Amazon were super generic. SDE skills were supposedly "fungible."

> there's no practical use for that information

The information paradox is closer to us than we think!

Joking aside, another perspective on practical use is all of the technology and research advanced that have spun out of black hole research. Multi-messenger astronomy for example. We can point a telescope at the sky where two black holes merged.

The first time I visited Brazil, we gringos each ordered the large glass bottle of beer from a beach kioskue and drank from it. We quickly learned that was not the right way. The insulation sleeve and shared bottle is a much better way. It is more social too.

Saúde! (I don't drink anymore but cheers with my Brazilian coffee!)

Racing games seem to be a niche that makes sense.

The tech will keep shrinking and the cost will come down. We are still in the early adopter phase.
