Can you share more about your experience? What type of tech are you experienced with, what industries, etc
In the U.S. you have to watch it live on CBS/CBS Sports which means some sort of cable subscription. Paramount+ doesn't even give you access. Also there is no on demand replay, so you either catch it live or not at all. Outside of the U.S. you can watch it on YouTube but it's blocked state side.

Broadcast rights deals ruining UX yet again..

Re:Ask HN: MBA if I want to run a business one day? on Thursday July 28, 2022 @08:07PM (#32271580)
I don't agree with the statement about locking yourself in as a middle manager. Take a look at the top executives at major companies. You absolutely will see tons of MBAs.

Ask HN: Resources to prepare for starting a new job

Starting a new job in a few weeks and it's been almost a decade since I've done so. Looking for recommendations of books, articles, frameworks, etc that can help me to prepare. It's a product leadership role so I'll have to come up with a 30-60-90+ day plan or something like that. I'm interested in materials that are specific to product or are more general leadership or management focused....

The one thing I can appreciate about working from home for so long is I haven't been sick this entire time. Open floor plans spread colds, flus, and stomach bugs around like wildfire, and it's nice to be out of the petri dish.
I'm hearing about consumer grade UVC sanitizing devices[1] more, and also see "electrostatic cleaning"[2] touted by building management companies. I've had trouble determining if these are just buzzwords or if these really make a difference.
