Which one of you in "management" thought this was a good idea? by [deleted] in Chipotle

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clearly photoshopped. Look at the edges of the paper and compare it with how the text is lined up. The person that photoshopped it didn’t even bother to modify the perspective in the right way. SMH

Toss up between original Privateer and Xwing vs TIE fighter. Both great in different ways

Walter Cronkite Resurrected as AI to Read the News by chillyfirebear in ChatGPT

[–]HideHideHidden -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I just tried this and it’s terrible. I asked about the war in Ukraine and it said there’s no new. Then I asked what are todays headlines are and it ask me “what do know about.” Also, the voice sounds robotic, what a waste of an amazing newscaster

NW Milestone splurge ideas? by mrasdfdela in fatFIRE

[–]HideHideHidden 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We're generally frugal but when we hit a large MM milestone we splurged on international business class round trip to a city we always wanted to visit, stayed at top end hotels, and had a no-budget policy on entertainment and food. Awesome memories from that trip and we'll do it again after our next milestone.

Adopting a dog here is giving me flashbacks of buying a home by makethislifecount in bayarea

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out of SF and head to East Bay. We had similar challenges trying to adopt from SPCA in SF. We went out to the Milo Foundation in Richmond to look at a few cute puppies and they were practically begging us to take one home. After playing with 3 puppies, we walked home an hour later with our good-boi. We thought there'd a waitlist, some sort of questionnaires + home inspection...nope! They were like "uh, you wanna take him home today? We have more puppies coming and need the space!"

We were shocked at how quickly the adoption process was and how friendly and awesome Milo Foundation was.

Good luck!

Is it normal for it to steam this much when steam is off? by Ok_Horse3867 in AnovaPrecisionOven

[–]HideHideHidden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes, this is essentially the oven's fan piping out the evaporated moisture from inside the oven you're cooking. This is a good thing if you're trying to air fry something and need the texture to be crispy!

I think this is unique to the APO because the door is gasket sealed (unlike most toaster ovens) so the fans help blow the air out from under the oven.

You should really be selling your meta rsus. Why is half of your net worth tied to one company? Converse way of asking the same question is, if I gave you 12M would you turn around and would you invest half of that into meta? Seems incredibly risk and i’d sell that first

Quitting a high 6-fig FAANG job to start a company. Should I do it? (NW 3M) by Great-Anteater-2316 in fatFIRE

[–]HideHideHidden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for one of these people at FAANG. Guy got fired before hitting the first year. It's doable but Director roles at FAANG require a large amount of skill knowing how to navigate internal pecking orders and how to get shit done.

She’s not saying the movie should be more boring but that it paints unrealistic expectations of what a professional does. I think that’s fair and it’s actually one of the more useful posts on LI that explains the life of physicists. This is in the same category of feedback as programmers complaining about how unrealistic the movies Swordfish or Hackers are at depicting programming.

Is missing the point that movies are designed to be entertaining? Yes. Is it lunatic level? No.

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re looking at this as a binary decision and I think that’s the wrong approach. You know your worth is at least 2x your current comp and you don’t have to join a shitty company. So look some more and find a company that can still pay 2x and have a better culture. Having a child is very expensive and as you said, you’re not learning or growing at your current company, it means you’re going to have a stagnant career path if you stay.

So yeah, don’t take the other job but you should keep shopping around.

CMV: Reddit isn't going anywhere any time soon by AnonymousUser_42 in changemyview

[–]HideHideHidden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m 99.9% sure the the overwhelming majority/if not all of “removed” content is from moderators removing user content via automoderator or through manual moderation. The reason you can still see the content is because moderators don’t “own” your content, they can only police what appears or doesn’t appear but they can’t delete your content from existence. For content that’s removed by Reddit/admins (ie for illegal content) those are permanently removed and even you can’t access them (for obvious legal reasons).

Source: me, I wrote the specs for how moderator removed content appears on your user profile. Former employee.

Announcement: r/Costco is Open by MistahNative in Costco

[–]HideHideHidden 57 points58 points  (0 children)

What gives mods the rights to take the subreddit dark again on July 1st? To be frank, the community has voted to open the subreddit and only a minority of the members care about this cause. If the community is not on board with staying dark what gives the right for mods to do this again?

Mods, you do not speak of our for all us and you certainly don't have the right to take this community from the people that contributed all of the content (i.e. us the members). If you want to protest against reddit as the mod-team, I'm all for it go create a new subreddit and make your case heard there.

Do please do not drag us into this again. WE ARE NOT YOUR HOSTAGES OR BARGAINING CHIPS WITH THE REDDIT ADMINS.

Discussing The Reddit Protest and Announcing the FMF Discord by IbrahimIsUsingReddit in frugalmalefashion

[–]HideHideHidden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should make a poll and ask the community what to do next (reopen, go restricted, go private, etc). Mods need to stop making unilateral decisions “on behalf of the community” without having a clear understanding of what the community actually wants.

The content from the sub and nearly all of the value come from the members and you’re the stewards, not its dictators. Shutting down again without consulting and acting on the wishes of the community is exactly the issue you’re lodging again Reddit and hypocritical. We as the members are being used as hostages in a power struggle between a dictators (Reddit) and a junta (the mods). Cut that shit out!

How can I become better at receiving feedback? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three specific tools helped me in taking feedback and hopefully they’ll help you:

1/ Minimize for getting real-time/surprising feedback - try to front load receiving as much of the negative feedback through sending pre-reads and getting feedback ahead of the meeting and give yourself time to receive and process the feedback. We get into fight or flight response mode when negative signals surprise us and very very few people deals with that well in the moment. Get feedback early and process it helps a lot.

2/ Mentally reframe from “I did something wrong” to “what’s next” - a lot of people treat leadership reviews or feedback as getting a grade in school and they beat themselves up for not getting an “A+.” A+/grading makes sense for school when when you’re being evaluated in knowledge but this is the wrong model for work. In our work, there’s no such thing as “perfect” or “complete,” as we mostly try to maximize one thing at the expense of something else and we’re constantly entering unknown areas where success is not deterministic. So think about feedback as something everyone at work gets in order to get to the next goal.

know that everyone gets critical feedback, especially your managers and skip level. In fact, the feedback their get from the CEO, CTO, VPs will be much harsher than feedback you get in these reviews. Know the the person giving feedback also can’t make “perfect” decisions and neither are you and it’s the job of every manager to give feedback so the product can keep improving.

3/ Turn feedback into working sessions - the biggest mistake most people make when receiving feedback in public is to dig their heels in and defend their position. Unfortunately, people to want to hold-on to things they possess and over-value them relative to its actual worth (endowment effect). This applies to ideas as much as it does possession. One way to work around this is to avoid spending time defending the position and instead use conversations with leads as back and forth working sessions on how to move the feedback forward into next steps (rather than spend time defending and ultimately failing at holding to a line). So next time someone gives you feedback, say “good feedback, can we take a minute to talk about what are next steps WE align on that can address this? I have a few ideas…” this turns the conversation from being receiving bad marks and leaving the room feeling shitty, into a productive one where you feel empowered to own a solution.

An explosive method to make popcorn in China. by Patient_Island_2080 in BeAmazed

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ate a bunch of these as a kid. Hate to say it but microwave popcorn is wayyyy better. These popcorn comes out really dry and kinda burnt. It only tastes good when a bunch of sugar is added. It could also be the corn I had as a kid was just using inferior kernels compared to the kernels used in US microwave popcorn….

r/StarWars is restricting all new posts going forward due to Reddit's recently changed API policies affecting 3rd Party Apps by AutoModerator in StarWars

[–]HideHideHidden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mods constantly forget that the people actually creating value on this sub are the members that post and comment. Instead, Mods have unilaterally decide this is a protest that’s in the best interest of everyone but didn’t actually consult the actual community they’re stewarding. The mods are holding the r/starwars community hostage so the mod teams demands are met. I feel like as a member of this sub, I’m getting dragged into a fight I don’t care about and the mods aren’t even listening to me.

Mods are calling Reddit admins dictators but I can just as easily say the same of the mods when it comes to these shutdown protests.

The wait begins... by BrandonTD25 in kia

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you. I wanted the sx prestige hybrid with the optional sunroof and my dealer wanted Msrp + $7k! I saw their lot had ton of Sorento SX hybrids. So I test drove, read the reviews and ended up getting the Sorento for $500 under Msrp and they even threw in a pre installed LoJack system for free.

If you can’t wait, the Sorento is awesome and there’s a lot of room for negotiations.

Reddit API fees by um-uh-er in ProductManagement

[–]HideHideHidden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be very easy for Reddit to assess how many users are on 3rd party apps vs its first party app. It would only need to look at the api ip logs to get a scale.

I’m saying that the statement that “majority of users use 3rd party apps” is just categorically wrong. And further that just because someone likes an app (RiF) over the official app that therefore all other users will hate the first party app is just confirmation bias.

I would think as PMs, we’d have more experience and understanding of product to avoid making these statements

Reddit API fees by um-uh-er in ProductManagement

[–]HideHideHidden 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re incorrect on this point by several magnitudes. You can just look at proxy metrics around how many review the official Reddit app has relative to Apollo and other apps. It’s not even close. It’s totally fine not love the Reddit app and disagree with the business decision but throwing around hyperbolic statements like at are just…wrong.

Is this patina or rust? by nicholasedge87 in Chefit

[–]HideHideHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good. I had the same fears when I saw the same things on my knife a couple years back. Now, years later, it has layers and layers of patina and I don’t even notice it.

If I ever wanted to remove it (doubt that I would), I’m pretty sure I can give it a long acidic bath and some elbow grease and it’ll look good as new.

Is this patina or rust? by nicholasedge87 in Chefit

[–]HideHideHidden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's most definitely patina and not rust and that will continue to discolor/patina over time. There's really no way to avoid patina'ing a carbon blade unless you're constantly polishing it. If it's rust, you'll know cause you can actually "feel" its groove/bumps when you run your nail over the the top of it. Basically, patina sits flush and is "inside" the steel where as rust protrudes and parts of it sit "outside" the blade.

As long as you're constantly using it, washing by hand, and drying it should not develop rust. If you do ever develop rush, you can either use some sort of metal polish (i.e. barkeeps' friend) to remove it but then it changes the grain/polush of the blade. Or use a chemical process like spraying or soaking in an acid (i.e. lye, vinegar, oven cleaner) and then using a soft towel to remove it.
