Read the article. Very depressing. Had no idea about this in Canada.
Can you share what programs to look into to start powerlifting?
I would be curious to know what's interesting in Singapore?
That's a good one! :D

Thanks for your answer! I wonder if I wrongly assume sys admin position naturally require you to be on call, server goes down/offline or some other operations issue.

What sort of skills do you need that are more favorable to being able to work several positions? Sys admin, devops, front end, backend, full stack or database? How do you get out of on call for all 3 positions. I'm in awe. Very nice!

You only regret it because it went up. Hindsight is 20/20. You rented for a reason, you decided not to take a risk.

I think if you take away the f words, all he is really doing is describing the startup culture, company he works in, nothing more. Albeit in a weird humorous way, maybe to get quick popularity on medium or raise up the coolness factor? In the end he pretty much sums it up as, thank you for making me one of you, just worded differently. Some people just like attention..
Contractor are paid more, since they have to factor in the health insurance, taxes, unpaid vacation, perks, their own laptops, no need for office space, no 401k match. There is no reason they would ever get paid less. Maybe those with H1B visas who can get taken advantage of or outsourced contractors in Ukraine? Those contractors definitely get paid a fraction of US salary.
Amazing, I would never have thought commercialization would reach these levels. Interesting to see what majority of American population thought of the nuclear bomb in general and what studies if any were done by the government in terms of the harmful effects of nuclear radiation.
