In this article: Someone is surprised that time happens.
Now this is an oxymoron.

You know that tech investors actually buy ownership in companies, right? The reason worker-owned co-operatives work well is _because_ they don't have tech investors making stupid demands for good quarterly reports.

Re:Ask HN: Does anybody not use an adblocker? on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @04:01AM (#36490140)
I don't use any ad blockers. I do however use consent-o-matic as those popups are the worst thing the EU ever did to the internet.

Some sites have annoying ad popups, but most of the time they're just embedded in the sites and I don't even notice them.

Wow. This is extremely similar to what we actually got. I'm glad they ditched the turn based stuff though :).

What? This is not even the slightest bit related to the submission.
I'd say this is something you learn by doing to a large degree. Just jump in there. Good luck!
Re:Is infinity an odd or even number? (2011) on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @08:17AM (#35801438)
The short answer to this question is "No".
Isn't Brave the browser that pretended you could donate to any creator and then kept the money for themselves?

Have we forgiven them now?

Some friend of a friend always have something interesting going on. But interviewing them is key. Remember the interview process isn't just about them accepting _you_, it's equally (or even more) about you accepting them.

Take references (talk to people working there about what the environment is like). Make sure they're a good team fit (make sure to have interviews with the people you'd be working with). Ensure they're as competent as they say they are (talk to people there working with similar stuff as you to ensure they know what they're talking about). Et.c. et.c.

Once all of this is cleared, you can start talking about salaries and other superficial things.
