Re:Time to Ban Wet Markets on Wednesday March 18, 2020 @06:25PM (#22621975)
Most people in this thread are too dumb to realize that these "wet markets" exist all around the world including in North America.

American Swing Flu killed tens of thousands of people due to poor agricultural practices.

If anything, we should talk about banning the farming of animals altogether.

American Swine Flu in 2009 killed tens of thousands of people. To say it could not have happened anywhere is wrong.

yeah, no.

i've never heard him say anything like this. i've also watched the entire Firaz episode.

This is great advice and something I've done repeatedly in my career.

When you sense that things are going bad (company is downsizing, running out of money, boss hates you, etc.) then it's time to start looking for another job.

It is much easier to land a job when you still have one. It also means the new company will unlikely call your current employer for a reference.

Finally, it allows you to leave on your own terms rather than get fired/laid off.

Only down to a 3? lol. That makes it sound like your goal is to always have some fire under them.

You mean Google Cloud and AWS?

If you're looking for a WYSIWYG website editor, you probably don't need caching/memcache, etc.

It depends. If it's a piece of software that never updates, a one time purchase makes sense.

But otherwise, why should you get access to all future updates and ongoing work?

I think Sketch has a good system - you pay once and you only have access to that version forever (bugs and all). In order to update/get new features, you need to pay again or have an ongoing subscription.
