Only the delivery team had to actually lift a 400 lb TV by 1/2" sloped handholds. I'm the warehouse, we had forklifts and pallet jacks to handle that.

I remember the KV-40XBR700. Those suckers were heavy. I worked at Circuit City in 2003 delivering those behemoths to customers until I dropped two in a single day (the handholds on the side weren't very good) and got moved to the warehouse.

Been awhile since I've thought about FSR. Back in the day, I used to listen to WoW on repeat while putting far too many hours of my life into that game.

I'm not sure that going for the candidates who are desperate enough is the winning strategy.

Yup. The company I started with last year had layoffs. I wasn't impacted, but I didn't like how they were done. So I applied at a few places and accepted an offer at a new company just last month. For context, my resume does not have FAANG on it.

The answer is probably related to why a paid premium tier negates the value of an ad-supported free tier. A person who can't (or won't) afford the paid tier is probably not going to pay an advertised product, and thus the consumers of the free tier are less interesting (e.g. valuable) to advertisers.

For value to exist in the free tier, it must reach the entire audience. Think about how radio or newspaper advertising worked. If one segment figures out how to avoid the advertisements, it reduces the value of the remaining audience more than proportionally.

Let me be the one to tell you not to look up tubgirl or meatspin. The turn-of-the millennium internet was a dirty place.

Pretty sure if it was the American dream, it would be 7oz of chocolate.

> it literally says 'we have a Filipino woman, who works for us'.

It _literally_ does not say that. You added a comma which changes the expression.

Invites weren't what got me hyped about Gmail. My Yahoo and Hotmail accounts had 2-5 MB storage limits at the time. Gmail offered a 1 GB storage limit. The idea that I'd never have to delete an email again is what had me hitting up old friends on AIM for an invite.

> The iPhone (or whatever phone you want) is the equivalent of a Walmart store.

The major difference here is that while I don't own the Walmart store, I do own my phone. What is allowed to be sold in the store is determined by Walmart, just as what's installed on my phone should be determined by me, the owner.

Back office system in the financial sector? You're probably looking at COBOL, although I know Caché gets used as well.
