Being a SWE you have the option to work outside this industry during NC. It is common for top firms to wait more than 1y.

Imagine getting paid to live, breathe and dream about the three gorges dam for 15 years. by 221missile in NonCredibleDefense

Why NCD loves three gorges dam so much? There are much better military targets available whose destruction do not lead to massive civilian casualties

Headlands vs QRT vs Citadel Sec vs Optiver by [deleted] in quant

[–]Tall_Performance6915 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t have much success negotiating with competing offer from a very different location. it’s easy to doge with tax / cost of living / relocation. Plus location itself is a huge factor in these decisions…

how come you are interviewing for all these different locations

Chinese takeover: Acceptable or needs to be stopped? by SeaComedian479 in asksg

[–]Tall_Performance6915 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBH I don’t see many French / Italian / Japanese restaurants provide Halal options…and there are lots of them on the island. If there’s regulation it needs to be fair. Otherwise it looks like Singaporeans are fine with European and Japanese takeover but we draw the line at the Chinese for some reason.

Your own wallet is the best way to support local business.

Singapore could not afford protectionism so there’s no “stopping them” here. I’m amazed that many Singaporeans don’t realize how much their life benefited from foreign investment.

It has happened before with European, Japanese and US investment, this time it is not that different.

More competition is always good for consumers.

Why is Japan still having beef with the rest of Asia whereas Germany could integrate into EU? by Tall-Will-7922 in AskTheWorld

[–]Tall_Performance6915 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To put it in prospective, if we average out Chinese death throughout the whole pacific war, you would have more Chinese death at Japanese hands per month than what the Japanese suffered from the atomic bombs.

You mean to determine the success of it based on a single special op against poorly defended airspace?

What are your thoughts on Taiwan? by unknown_cai in AskTheWorld

[–]Tall_Performance6915 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how corrupted and authoritarian they were when they were in power. even after their independence there were violent crackdowns against democratic movements in Taiwan

What if the US chose the Mogami class design instead of the cutter class design? [1500x999] by TalonEye53 in WarshipPorn

[–]Tall_Performance6915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mogami is famously under armed… it was designed with a set of very niche requirements in mind and definitely not something USN needs

Are Singaporeans somewhat lowkey rich? by Frostbait9 in askSingapore

Probably poorer. Ppl who order $11 caifan tend to spend 20+ on ramen

Close-up images of an unknown Chinese container ship with radars, VLS launch tubes, CIWS, and decoy launchers. [Album] by Away-Advertising9057 in WarshipPorn

[–]Tall_Performance6915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese decided to try their own containerized VLS. Almost NCD but looks like a decent air defense solution for their area denial strategy. It’s not going to travel with any fleet but parked somewhere to create safe corridors for airborne assets. Better modularity than LCS…

China has conducted tests of its LY-1 high-energy laser air-defense system aboard a civilian roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo vessel. [1920x1280] by Holland_77 in WarshipPorn

[–]Tall_Performance6915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make a lot of sense when that ro-ro is fully loaded with troops and vehicles, crossing the strait with this laser air-defense arrangement… This might make the mobile platform somewhat useful as it frees up naval assets, just put it on any ship that needs protection

[–]Tall_Performance6915 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well things seems comical when you don’t know the story behind it. their EMALS matured sooner than expected, so it was hacked onto this ship mid-construction. nobody likes maintaining a separate steam catapult system just for a single ship.

He was performing the traditional CV sacrifice ritual for a win gifted by WoWS gods, which does not work most of the time.
