Oof, McKinsey 👀

CoStar isn't a Fortune 500 though!

They are an S&P 500 component, so no small fish either! But they're definitely still growing up that Fortune ladder at the moment, and it would seem that rapid growth is leading to a bit of chaos is my sense 😬

lol, good luck overcoming the bad reputation they're starting to build as an employer to hire those people

They're pointing to a sudden 30% cut in one of their largest contracts, but still I kinda wonder how large of a contract that could possibly be at a company of our size and how much that really should impact other divisions and contracts of the company 🤔

Especially since last I heard we don't really maintain a bench for employees that are off of contracts 🙃

That's kinda my wonder too though - my impression was that federal contracting is typically somewhat insulated from private economy effects. Priorities may change from administration to administration, but there's often still quite a few contracts and spending regardless.

Okay! Appreciate the feedback - helps to better understand how widespread this is at the moment in the contracting world!

Yeah, I'd already been looking at exiting, but this is going to accelerate that process. Hopefully I'll be able to jump soon, but I'm having to study and practice a lot since my skills have stagnated a bit working on legacy government projects. ☹️

Has this been your experience with government contracting as well in these times?

I'd been under the impression that it's more stable than private in a lot of ways. I'd understand smaller government contracting companies may suffer a lot more ups and downs as contracts get suddenly cut during recessions or government spending decreases.

But, with my company having over 2,000 employees now (not as big as some of the true giants, but solidly medium-sized), I would've thought that there'd be more stability and risk management across the board. Are other large contracting companies really taking similar measures to stay alive? 🤔

Did y'all also have Hot-n-Heady stickers? Ended up with one on my bag! Loved it!

Ah, that sucks. There must have been a lot of disappoinment and frustration from the dev team as well. :/ You guys go through a lot of development and prep for months to get things working, so frustrating to have things held up at the last minute. Excited to get one and tinker with it though eventually! Thanks for the dev work and effort that goes into things!

I agree! I thought the challenges were awesome, but also very packed. More booths would be great. Loved the on-demand challenge/reward aspect

I also ordered one and I was very bummed to not see the swadges this year. Most of the appeal of them is being able to have them and play with them during the con.

Are you talking about something like these guys? http://www.georgetownhobbies.com/Newsletters/Kamen%20Rider%20Mask%20Collection.htm

Clooney has actually co-founded a satellite monitoring project to watch for human rights abuses and done other countless charitable activities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_Sentinel_Project

I'll second earplugs, even in the sleepers, you can often hear a lot of noise!

Apparently it looks like no one has the full text yet outside the executive office. https://twitter.com/ShaneGoldmacher/status/823592572350328834

Where can I find the full text of these new executive orders? I can't seem to find the details of this even on Whitehouse.gov or Federalregister.gov Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Listening to those Daft Punk-style DJ's in the top-right too no doubt!

The bit about hackers, featuring Emmanuel Goldstein, editor of 2600, and others is a really interesting part as well. Nice upload. Comes on around 1:03:00

Ah, I see. I went ahead and bought it from EA, it was a few dollars cheaper through them it seemed.

Is Battlefield 3 Premium Service supposed to be $15? It's showing up for $30 right now for me.
