I don't think we should be calling out what works for someone else as "a terrible strategy". People work in different ways - don't assume your way is the only right way.
Yeah this is a good approach I try to customize my CV off a base for every role. Even shoving it in a new company-name folder in Dropbox.

Even though the person is asking for them to apply they are probably asking a lot of people so are going to scan your resume looking for keywords and alignment to a role

My gf and I use these exact headphones. Have tried several others (eg sleepy phones) which are good but I found these are a perfect cost to quality ratio. I charge them maybe once per week
"better" in that it's less risky to have covid than to drive? Might need a reference on that claim. My quick googling only thing I found a comparison to doing bomber runs over nazi Germany during ww2 for older generations.
Most of the people upset about the lockdowns seem to be people living outside of New Zealand. Quick search shows that currently 85% of New Zealanders agree with the current lockdown approach. We've seen what it did to Australia by not properly locking down. People are paid a covid support wage subsidy through their business to ensure that they stay being paid.

I think it's trying to frame it that they want to be that type of angel for someone else.
Re:EU considers phasing out 1 and 2 cent coins on Monday October 05, 2020 @07:53PM (#24693396)
Yeah, NZ phased ours out late 80s/1990. 2004 we phased out the 5c piece as well.

Anecdotally (as in I might be wrong :) I remember hearing at the time the 5c piece was phased out it was worth less than when the 1/2c pieces were originally released. NB I have put zero effort into thinking if that makes sense or is true. (edit - confirmed)

[ Edit ] - We also made every other coin smaller. It's always startling to get an Australian 50c coin - even though it's the same size as ours used to be. Our's is now smaller than the AU 20c.

Curious to know if you have seen any project management software with either good calendar or planning support built in? What made it better?

According to Linus himself his comments often became personal.. He's a smart guy I am sure he's given this a lot of thought.
Re:Ask HN: Founders who sold their company, what do you do? on Wednesday January 10, 2018 @04:45AM (#16113694)
That is very interesting! How'd you manage to come to the conclusion to go somewhere like McKinsey? How'd you get in? How long were you there and what sort of stuff were you learning?

Re:The hidden costs of A/B testing on Sunday April 10, 2016 @02:21AM (#11465154)
There are a lot of factors that can contribute to the second week converting better or worse Eg public holidays, paydays, sporting events.. That's why ab tests run at the same time so you can compare the same population.
Re:Why Airbnb is dead to me on Monday September 28, 2015 @09:14PM (#10294214)
Never heard of housetrip. Just tried it now for a holiday I have coming up looks like it's got some serious issues - was finding me houses miles away from where I wanted to go and indicating that they were far closer.
Yes you are but you are providing no concrete examples of that. I'm interested to hear your examples?

Re:Run your own high-end cloud gaming service on EC2 on Sunday April 12, 2015 @09:41PM (#9365516)
Yeah for sure. 1900 hrs? I wouldn't do 100 in a calendar year so this would be a way better option for me than having to constantly upgrade to keep ahead of new boxes. (well constantly == every other year).
