- Contract role, seemed to have run its full course. Didn’t plan ahead?
- Laid off from a startup. Startups are inherently volatile, should have planned ahead.
- H-1B (it seems), needs to find a job AND sponsorship, far more difficult than what the average US citizen will face
- Contract work again, ran its full course
- Communications degrees are difficult to find employment with anyway
These examples are egregiously bad considering HN has loads of great examples for proving this article’s thesis. At least we can be sure ChatGPT didn’t write this article because it surely would have urged better examples.
> Today, 1 in 4 unemployed people, or 1.8 million Americans, have been job searching for over half a year, which in most cases means they’ve also exhausted their unemployment insurance benefits. Benefits vary by state but on average replace less than 40% of a person’s previous income.
The 6-12 months needed to find a job is a worrisome economic predictor and isn’t effectively communicated by unemployment rates alone.
Y’all forgot that the only reason we’re on Discord was because MS actively killed Skype. Skype was much better software circa 2012 before MS let vulnerabilities run rampant, degraded the UI, and moved off the remarkably robust P2P calling system.
That's known as the millennial pause. Older generations like millennials want to ensure a communication is working before committing information, while GenZ and Alpha just start talking.
It's named after the pause after pressing the record button while you check it changes shape, but "can you hear me?" is the same thing.
I'm gen Z. You had to start Skype with "can you hear me" because the answer was usually no (via text). I now do that with phone calls because forced bluetooth has made headsets less reliable than before.
On the contrary, older people properly announce themself on the phone, while younger people often don't answer at all, and let there be silence, until the other gives up, and asks who has picked up the phone.
If you’re Bill/Melinda and you’re undertaking a massive project to change the world positively, why not take money from Epstein? The public benefit would dwarf whatever benefit Jeff could obtain.
Well first off, if you're bill and melinda gates you just have more money then Epstien. Flat out.
But you know also there is the whole why would you take money from a convicted pedophile. Oh and why would you ask that convicted pedo to get you drugs so that you can hide the fact you gave your wife a STD from a russian hooker.
If you hung out with Epstien after his initial conviction then the burden of proof should be on you that YOU also arent a pedo. Fuck everyone involved with him. and fuck bill gates.
Standard answer to a potentially compromised machine is to start with a factory reset machine and add the software and data you need to do your work/use the machine. Do not take executables from the compromised machine and use them any where since they too could be compromised.
There are more steps you can take to ensure greater safety. The above is the minimum a I do for myself and what the minimum IT department and my company executes.
My minimum is start with a freshly formatted hard drive then reinstall the os, software(fresh not transffered), and data required for your use.
> There are more steps you can take to ensure greater safety.
There are firmware infections that can persist even after hard drive format. Though to my understanding os/user space to firmware infections are rare. As far as I know a 'factory reset' on phone and some laptops does not reinstall firmware and clear out firmware infections. So to my understanding the 'factory reset' found on phones is analogous to formatting your hard drive, reinstall the os, software, and data required for your use.
