I keep waiting for a law enforcement death due to a no-knock raid. With gun ownership in the US, it's only a matter of time before someone shoots someone they assume was a burglar, and since it was no-knock, just saying "FBI" isn't really enough. Anyone can break into a home and say "FBI."

Think they're going to "find" child porn?

So they're obligated to accept bribes if they're in shareholders' best interest?

In college, I was diagnosed with Aspberger's. Later, after seeing a student therapist few a years, the therapist and their supervisor (and actual psychologist) didn't think I do. It made me wonder if the original diagnosis was the lazy, obvious one, and something else is going on.

I wasn't a "golden child," but growing up, the thing adults praised me for was my intelligence. Not being in a good school district, I skipped a grade. Thinking about the different opinions of the therapists, I wonder if my emotional immaturity relative to my peers, always being eager to show off my intelligence, and disadvantage at sports isolated me from my peers, hurting my social development.

C++ was the right choice for broader organizational reasons, but the wrong choice for what the project needs.

In a few months, I might be switching to a team with a C++ project. A lot of the team is new to C++, and there's nothing about the project that needs C++, Java would have been fine.

This doesn't look very fun.

It's possible that the client blindly fetches a mapping from keyword to ads, saw the keyword client-side, then requested the ad.

But do the teams know that? I love picking on Timnit Gebru and her time at Google. She clearly didn't know what her actual job was, which is funny because she seems to be good at marketing herself. You think she'd know Google was using her for marketing.

His resume has some impressive accomplishments, but has enough BS that it makes me suspicious of what teaching courses on ethical design actually entails.

Probably best not to tell HR that there's a joke going around that your team should be laid off. Wouldn't want to give them any ideas.

Has any one seen teams like this actually work? They seem to mostly exist for PR purposes.

Now they just ask your cell phone company.

For several months, keyless entry stopped working on my car. It fixed itself. My unlikely conspiracy theory is I was being tracked and interference kept the keyfob from working.

Feels like a FAANG job

Wasn't she just a product manager?
