The TV show Severance feels as though it's along those lines of thinking. Separate your work self from your personal self....completely
When it doesn't happen with any other makes, yes! Cost cutting out industry standard anti-theft tech should be the car companies responsibility. Also....17 other local prosecutors, not just Baltimore.
Oh boy, how did that play out? I feel as though it's a give a mouse a cookie situation with people power tripping like that, I can't imagine it resolving well until they leave...

Except almost anything you do can be the beginning of that engine. Joining sports team, hobbyist group for anything will lead you to meet people, through whom you either meet or hear about other events. Strong network effects once you get going but you do need to have time to show up consistently and in a good spot

Great comment, feel like this puts into words what I see in interactions on here sometimes that puts me off. I might say that especially on Hacker News there are people who assume they're by default more knowledgeable than others.

That's interesting, I'd say that's one of the least likely fundamental differences, especially with these large 10k+ employee companies. Those differences in hiring should average out when compared to things like timing entering their markets, monopolistic advantages, regulatory capture that are external to the company.

Anybody can do it once, not everybody can do it once. It's just luck of the draw, most won't be able to, but they could.

I replaced my mbp battery recently, it wasn't too bad. Apple also quoted me needing to replace logic board, etc. due to some water damage indicators tripped. Just go slow and it's only ~<$200 for battery.

Not to hold you back from getting a new framework, I replaced my battery but am still looking at one of these too!

Reference to the book Snowcrash! It’s a fun book
Your point send valid, but architect/builder is usually the bouncing back and forth type relationship though, plans are usually half baked and the surveys aren't right so stuff has to change. And builders are the ones on site every day overseeing, usually the architects just check in.
So basically impossible = on private driveways or when they're doing improvements? This seems like a mindset I see a lot of thinking you need more car than you really do
Dan Luu wrote a blog investigating this exact comparison and also didn't have good enough data to draw a strong conclusion.

It also depends on prioritizing high quality work. Plenty of places would be happy to have you at below optimal efficiency for twice the time to make up for communication inefficiency.
Others have talked about using multiple apps with their markdown files, I think it shouldn't be an issue to have it seamlessly sync.
Which you could work around by archiving and then unarchiving the programs. I remember having to do a soft factory reset for one class before exams, rather than just clearing programs. At least they took the policy to its logical extension
Could you expand on this a little? What did HP do, I'm just not familiar
Alternative narrative: Online services are a winner take all market, so early players who survived the dot com crash due to great product leveraged that to gain monopoly share. Without government intervention they will dominate these markets to the detriment of the consumer (and the abuse of their data/privacy)

Except that the grandparent comment was showing how missing the best 2 weeks of days over 45 years really does wipe out a significant amount of gain.
Still a lot of money on salt packets, I love these rough approximations compared to our expectations

What app is that? It sounds very useful.

Definitely a refreshing feeling compared to the use of a million cloud services.

Any recommendations for the Vesa arm specifically? Looking to get one
I think these habits are developed over more than a few days too. I bet the pickier you are, the longer it takes for your biology to tell you that it's time to eat. Also this is all dancing around wanting to call picky eaters spoiled brats lol.

Heyo another Auria user here! I actually recently upgraded to a Dell 4k screen, but that Auria served me great for several years and is my secondary setup screen. Got it used for $150, amazing value there!

Do you think Roam is worth it, and are there any alternatives that are comparable to Roam?

What were the political tactics used? I'm not familiar with the race and didn't see anything on my first search. That's some political-drama-level honesty from the candidate.
