They require fingerprints for TSA Pre. The same people who don't want to be xrayed won't want the FBI keeping their fingerprints on file.

I'm sure it's my FAANG bias, but 0.1%? I would have guessed 5%.

I'll defend some of what [flagged] was saying.

The pay is pretty fair. They're teaching material that every high school graduate should theoretically be able to teach, so the barrier to entry is low. Most of the prep work can be reused for the next year. Their hours are OK, and they line up with when their kids are in school. Plus they get summers off. It's a shitty job if you actually care, but pretty cushy if you check out and just do what's required.

This might be one of the few times a big tech name you know is actually selling your data. Most of the time when people say that, they mean Google and Facebook, but they actually keep your data to themselves and use it for ad targeting.

Asking honestly, not to troll, but is everything still an ordeal? Last time I tried, I remember having issues with my printer, hidpi display, external USB-C display, configuring the thinkpad trackpoint, not to mention UI inconsistencies worse than than 6 generations of Windows UIs.

It's validation. Windows has gone downhill, Apple locks you in, you use Linux on principle.

I find the look weirdly attractive.

In a strictly business sense, Uber made the right call. Paying $35,000 plus lawyers to learn this is a service they need to provide is cheaper than building it preemptively. In a human sense, it's pretty fucked.

Uber gonna Uber, but I'm surprised someone in management doesn't realize this is a bad look, read the tea leaves, and buy a few wheelchair taxis and have Uber-employed drivers to handle this in cities with over 100,000 people.

I'm not sure if it will actually be like that. In just a few years, AI will be so widespread we'll just assume anything not from a source we trust is fake.

I was thinking more Amazon than Apple. Hiring an outsider to a team just to have someone to fire is supposedly common there.

Both those resumes read as not being unqualified for the job, but their primary qualification is being women.

You don't want to be the odd one out on a team since you'll be the first to get laid off. Either find a team with a good mix or stick to your own color.

I was looking into getting a UPS for my server. Some UPSes do power conditioning, and all do AC/DC conversion. I got to wondering why I can't buy a UPS that outputs DC and feed that directly into a silly looking PSU.
