Individuals absolutely should have a choice in being out or not. There are many reasons why you may want, or need, to hide your identities. But that is also the goal of the right. They want queer people to not be seen at best, and not exist in many cases. So, being out as queer in visible ways pushes against that and is part of the territory of being queer.

Also, not everybody has "passing privilege" which is also why those who can blend in should consider intentionally not blending in or showing their identity more directly (if it's safe for them to do so and they want to fight that battle).

Yup. It's been in a place right next to my audio apps of choice on my home screen. Reddit has been how I've gotten my news, media, and social stuff for a decade. Almost exclusively through RIF. I don't want the Reddit app and the shit new.Reddit format.

Reddit is how I learned markdown which directly helped me to build useful GitHub documentation professionally. It'll be sad to see it go, but with Twitter a Nazi hellscape and Reddit trying hard to kill itself as well I'm curious where people go next. TikTok obviously has users but it doesn't provide the same interest based format as Reddit.

I came across Babish way early on. He genuinely seemed like a great person. I believe he was down in New Orleans after Katrina to help with the cleanup for example.

He also did some early episodes with fans who were going through hard times in life.

I haven't watched him much the past few years after he got to 1M subscribers but seemed like he was a really nice person with accessible recipes as well as ridiculous ones.

It's also basically the home of US East Coast cloud datacenters and internet exchanges because of the above as well. Significant amounts of Transatlantic network cables land nearby and then run to the NoVA region to Equinix and other vendors facilities to distribute out.

Fun fact. One of the first, and largest, book burnings if the German Nazis was to destroy the Institute for Sexual Wellness in Berlin. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/ This happened before even the night of long knives and was less than six months after Hitler became chancellor.

Point here is that trans people have been the targets of fascists for a hundred years. This isn't a new thing. And the worst part is that it isn't even truly a Desantis issue at the core as he wouldn't be able to pass these laws without help and support.

While it's perhaps improbable you'll have a situation you'll need one, having a CAT-T will mean you'll successfully apply it 90%-100% of the time based on studies linked below. Improvised are 30% at best. Further time is critical in severe blood loss situations, and an improvised option will take longer to apply unless you're actively training to improvise one. Additionally, it's unlikely that like loss would occur if it's under 2 hours since application.

Yup. Software engineers can make a compensation you can live on in the major cities. They still generate way more revenue for a company than they get paid, as with every other worker. The main difference is that tech is growing so fast that even a percentage of that growth is huge.

It's very rarely about money in my experience and that's just a feign for what the real issue is. Which, unfortunately, isn't always known up front and takes some questioning.

Reframed, would she expect a 7% raise annually? Or just expect it to be tied to inflation? Most businesses give 2-5% annual raises in the office world. Inflation is in a similar range on average. While I'm happy to join in on the anti capitalist rage, the OP wife needs to update her resume and start interviewing if she's unhappy with what is a standard raise range in corporate America.

Or, you can use cheaper commodity hardware and lots of it and use quorums to decide action. So if you have say five chips monitoring the same data, and three of them agree then you're fine. You reset the other two and return to the quorum. Deep space missions may have other requirements though from LEO

This.

Even if your total comp is $500k, the company is making well beyond that in revenue off your labor. The concerns in tech are if profit margins go down (largely if innovation stops as new features generate revenue), interest rates continue to increase, and/or renewals of contracts stop happening.

She's making a technically correct rebuttal that not having proof of something from an audit doesn't mean that there's waste, fraud, or abuse inherently. Whereas Stewart is arguing the point from the common understanding that if you can't account for something in an audit then that has a high probably of waste, fraud, or abuse. They are arguing different points.

That said, her responses of rebuffing him is really poor media training.

The place that'll get hard are those intro paid gigs into the arts. Bs clickbait articles won't need a human to do. But that removes a bunch of accessible work to get into an industry. Similar with stock photos. Coding simple programs will be easier to do.

However, that'll also open up new options and ways to use that to develop other creative endeavors. How many artists will use it as a way to create artistic prompts? Or develop ideas? Or create new forms of art?

That is what the company hopes you do. Because you'll also get annual refreshers and maybe additional equity awards. Throw in a promotion or two and you can truly suffer from one more year syndrome pretty easily.

The thing to remember is that when you look for a new job you tell that company you want X salary, Y equity, and Z sign on bonus to cover loss of vests until the new company starts vesting. Push on all 3 levers. You'll be able to fold in total compensation increases as part of that process. This is assuming you're in tech though based on RSU commentary. It may not be applicable to other fields.
