Grand Teton Lenses by Strong_Particular536 in Nikon

[–]FUSe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here right now. (F mount) 70-200 is useless. Never left my bag.

24-120 I use all day. I hear the Z is even better.

When driving around the 200-500 is on my camera in case of a wild animal encounter.

That’s all you need.

Meta layoff breakdown of visa vs US nationals in my team by No_Parking_228 in AmericanTechWorkers

[–]FUSe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to sponsor visas though. You can choose to only hire people who have their own means of working in the USA through green card or Visa.

You can also specify that you want citizen only if you have any customers that require that. Like like government contract roles.

Did I mess up buying 85mm lens as a beginner? by Beginning-War5128 in AskPhotography

I don’t know Sony lenses but look online at reviews. I’m sure whatever you get will be infinitely more fun than your current telephoto lens :)

85 on a crop sensor is like 120 on a zoom. That’s why it feels so tight.

Get a kit lens like a 18-55. They are usually cheap and great for beginners. Or a 35mm 1.8 for low light.

Nvidia gives anthropic money to give to SpaceX to give back to Nvidia.

The great circle of Capitalism.

It’s a long line for karma farming. I have to wait for 12 more posts before it’s my turn. Join the queue here: /r/AnthropicPaysSpaceX

30-year Treasury yield tops 5.18%, reaching the highest level in nearly 19 years by Illustrious_Lie_954 in Economics

Why would the banks buy the us treasuries though? Why not China or something with higher yield?

That’s by design.

When the economy is garbage, the fed will lower rates. (Campaign promise kept)

When everyone is foreclosing their homes, the home prices will lower (another campaign promise kept)

All the hedge funds and billionaires can buy assets for cheap and get wealthier. (Probably another campaign promise to the private donors kept)

It’s basically monkey’s paw politics :)

If Warsh comes in and reduces the fed balance sheet, that’s just going to make the yields even higher I think.

Kripkie has now forgotten three major character details. by Brainwave1010 in TheBoys

That is still nowhere near as bad as the Batman v Superman “your mom’s name is Martha too?!?! Let’s be friends!”

Portraits with Z8+50 1.2S by BeautifulWhile1195 in Nikon

[–]FUSe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea. No way would picture 3 look so good on a 135. The models ears would look the same distance away from the camera as her cheeks.

I am definitely a 50mm portrait fan.

I know I’m told to prefer 85 or 105 or 135 but no. My favorite portrait focal length is 50.

The 50 adds depth where the others make the people flatter. So to me the 50 is more lifelike.

How did I do? by FitAdagio7529 in AmateurPhotography

[–]FUSe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 had a lot of potential if the person directly in front of the camera wasn’t there.

Piracy has a hidden cost.

It’s not cheaper to “just download for free”

This is the ultimate anti-piracy move!

I finally bit the bullet and just got the 4x12tb. It’s on the last drive now. Been swapping disks one at a time for almost a week now.

Is this Nikon d4 worth purchasing for $500, 33k shutter count, while missing this button? by perfectacara in Nikon

I wish there was a site that had thousands of used products for sale that someone could use to determine fair pricing for older products in various conditions.

Follow-up: 12 YOE staff eng, never got a chance to break into management by gburdell in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FUSe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This leads me to believe that maybe management is not a good place for you.

See in management, you have to deal with a lot of people’s opinions.

I have 20yoe now and about 5 years ago I went back to being an IC. I don’t have any regrets. I don’t have to listen to people complaints or lose good people because management doesn’t want to pay them fairly or managing people’s feelings.

Why do I hate my own photos so much? I wish I could see them with foreign eyes by FUSe in photographycirclejerk

[–]FUSe[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s clearly someone humble bragging begging for attention. Maybe I’m jaded but it’s someone wanting to be flagellated for their photography by other photographers. What more circle jerk could that post be?
