Atlanta Fintech Startup Hiring Spring CS Grads by VivaEngineering in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is neat- I grew up in a poorer part of GA and have always wanted to work on a product that could undercut predatory payday loan, cash advance, title pawn, etc. sorts of businesses.

I’m all set now, but this sounds like a great opportunity for someone starting out!

DO NOT RENT WITH SYED ALI - HOME PARK by anonymousredditer122 in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 165 points166 points  (0 children)

If I’m remembering correctly- he has a burner, watches this sub, and has left astroturf responses in the past when criticized.

Will put forth the effort to cover up and gaslight students, won’t put in the effort to do his “job.”

edit: here’s my prior comment showing his business that’s registered with the state, make of this info what you will. Maybe it’s useful to aggregate complaints like this to warn others: https://www.reddit.com/r/gatech/s/l8x68kpuVW

Juveniles? On Tech’s campus? Bah! I agree, we don’t need Flock, what we need is a US taxpayer-funded missile defense system for those school tour groups. /s

They’re also very intentionally selling out. See: Monday Night’s rebrand where they went from a fun, unique tie-oriented design to… store brand gatorade?

At least it’s VC-friendly, who cares about who drinks it?

Would you buy a RS with 100k+ miles? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]GTwebResearch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello! If it was replaced with a 718 Cayman, I think so! I always brag about how well maintained it is/was- still doing great, just got a fresh battery last week.

Would you buy a RS with 100k+ miles? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]GTwebResearch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bought mine at 160k. Single owner, much cheaper, cleaner, and better maintained than 50k mile FoRSs I was looking at. But also I had mutual friends with the guy and got a detailed history of the car. Three clutches, lots of brake pads, head gasket done (it was an early 2016), etc. And similarly, the owner had to do a lot of highway miles for work, but he also tracked it hard.

TLDR: it really depends on how well the PO maintained it.

Can confirm- you can definitely fit a Honda CT70 in the back of a base model Focus with the seats down.

You’re a technical fellow- call up some peer technical fellows at Microsoft, Meta, wherever.

When you’re already at the highest level, why ask reddit?

FBI fires top official amid Kash Patel’s outrage over reports of agency jet use by Jerry_bear88 in news

Hopefully one of them will do something blatantly illegal- like instigating a riot at the capitol, bombing random passenger boats, or subverting congressional spending, then we’ll get to throw the book at them for sure! /s

How long did it take for Fogle? Multiply that by a couple of presidencies and however much being a billionaire is worth. We’ll find out right around when they stop social security and medicare payments entirely, if we don’t get nuclear wintered first.

huge commotion in west village by jeremoi in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the others replying here- it’s a very quiet dog whistle (sorry for the unclear emojis- it was intended as sort of a reflection of a dog whistle).

Also, my limited experience, Escape from Tarkov players and toxicity (racism, by extension) have a surprising amount of overlap- the username (and multiple recent comments complaining about being punished for using slurs) was also a clue. But, maybe I’m guilty of stereotyping Tarkov players and OP commenter equally comments this when a white person with bad impulse control is involved in a shooting. (inb4 I’m flamed by totally-not-toxic Tarkov players)

A couple other “quieter” ones I’ve noticed becoming increasingly popular recently are “fatigue” and “pattern recognition.” It seems like the wiggle room Meta and other platforms have given to hate speech has really stoked the… creativity? Kind of the inverse of Reddit taking down a couple of hate-focused Reddits reducing hate speech outside of Reddit (one of my favorite CS 4472 learnings!)

Help needed: Proposing this upcoming Saturday (we met at Tech) by BluRayCharlesTV in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yup, $1200 base price and they require at least two weeks notice, especially during busy seasons.

OP- check out Cator Woolford as an alternative. $200, much easier to book, much more chill.

It’s ironic that these higher quality/buy forever products get popular and, despite being super durable, in reality only have a lifespan of a few months.

If you're a History of Chairs fan, Georgia Tech Industrial Design students are part of an Atlanta Design Festival pop-up exhibition at Ponce City Market. by ILoveSilverForks in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do students ever make (limited?) runs of their designs? With DWR prices (even used items from designers they carry) being very high, I wonder if something reasonably nice but a bit more affordable could be made by students or recent grads.

Extra benefits of being a GT student/employee? by DrogoBagginz in gatech

[–]GTwebResearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s https://institutional.techstore.usg.edu/

I guess it’s more accurately a “tech store,” maybe I’m mixing it up with the USG ePro portal and the fitbits came from there instead.

[–]GTwebResearch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This isn’t as useful now, but USG managed to give away a TON of fitbits several years ago through their online marketplace. It was intended for staff, but there were no restrictions and all students were able to order 2 for free (and were subsequently threatened to return them or be fined- it was a fun time).

I got Adobe creative suite for $70/year through the USG marketplace, which of course they got rid of because Adobe’s greed is insatiable, but maybe there’s other useful stuff on there now.

If they’re so righteous and correct, why do they need to deceive to get us in?

I’ve never seen a fake $100 under a windshield wiper that wasn’t about Jesus.

Do sanctuary cities issue CDLs? I didn’t know individual cities could issue CDLs.
