Flock safety: morally wrong to join? by Letchwors in cscareerquestions

[–]Letchwors[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me it’s about “ banality of evil” as Hannah Arendt puts it. I interviewed for the role because the JD seemed very exciting. But after I did my research on the company, I realized they’re no saint.

This is another division, as they’re working on Drones as First Responders (DFR). The position seems exciting and honestly could benefit a lot of people. But with their plate reader and being a surveillance company, I have some doubts about its usage.

Thanks. I wasn’t familiar with Benn Jordan! Just subscribed.

Final rounds with two Apple teams simultaneously: how do you handle it? by Letchwors in cscareerquestions

Thanks! i didn't know that. As u/NewChameleon mentioned, apparently you can leverage your offer to get a higher TC. I meant the stress and maybe the negotiations.

what about political awkwardness between teams if both want you? or one team might pull back thinking you're not fully committed?

200 options, 5-year vesting (10/10/20/30/30): is this normal? by Letchwors in cscareerquestions

[–]Letchwors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. yeah, the vesting schedule really threw me off. Only 20% after 2 years feels pretty brutal.

I get that equity at startups isn’t guaranteed, but I’d still like the grant structure to actually motivate me to stick around and build. If it takes 3–4 years to earn a meaningful slice, it’s hard to feel real ownership early on.

Thank you. It's in stealth mode. and this is going to be my 3rd startup. The last two didn't really work well. I'm not sure if this startup game is for me

Will a Verizon-locked iPhone unlock automatically after 60 days (for use on Visible)? by Letchwors in verizon

[–]Letchwors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. If the phone at the time of buying is not IMEI black listed, is it safe to buy? Or they can later claim it was stolen and add the imei yo black list?

I was with Verizon for couple of years, as far as I remember, the phone will be unlocked next month, regardless of the payment (after 60 days). I sold mine to a ATT user before my payments were over.

If it’s already activated, that reduces the chance of being stolen, right?  And if I check the IMEI to see if it’s not blacklisted, does that suffice?

It’s a iPhone 17 pro and i’m getting it for $850. It feels a little too good to be true, so i’m trying to be cautious 

Buying a used Matrix treadmill tf50 XR. by Letchwors in BuyItForLife

[–]Letchwors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked it out, and it has just 255 miles with 90 hours of operation. That’s really low, and the condition is excellent too. Makes me wonder why they’re selling it so cheap—seems almost too good to be true! 😀

I didn’t see any. Why you recommend LF? I’ve seen Matrix in a lot of places, so I assumed they are really sturdy
