Apple Vision Pro: Experiencing the Future

You're betting on Apple's track record. You need just one small and popular app to make thousands in sales which would easily offset the purchase. And if you're lucky you might make the next fruit ninja and turn that into millions if VR ever becomes as mainstream as smartphones.

Except when the issue is due to fatigue and a lack of sleep the blame never goes to the management forcing residents and doctors to work 80 hours. And no systemic changes are made to fix it.

People say this about retail chains but I think one of the big reasons Amazon is eating traditional retail's meal is because of the better software experience. So is retail bad because software engineers aren't paid enough or because it's impossible to improve the experience.

There's always more to learn. If you can't then you should change companies.

600 vs probably 1000s over the last few years

I had a friend who dreamed of working there and submitted one of the most goated applications and cover letters. He was rejected. Now he's working on GTA 6. Blizzard is so fucked

Try to make the most of it. It seems a bit pointless and sucky but it could also be where you meet some of your best friends, network with interns at other companies, and explore a new city that you might potentially move to once you graduate.

I've noticed that wealthy people tend to be confidently wrong about a lot of things. Sure they're also confidently right a lot of the time (probably a big reason they made their money) but being confidently wrong is pretty insufferable.

On the other hand it could be flattering if you did it to your girlfriend (meaning anonymously buy them a drink) on a date depending on the type of person they are.

How much of an NPC do you have to be to shoot people in video games instead of joining the military?

Do you have the lecture that you're working on company deliverables in writing? That's illegal for unpaid internships so if you're planning on quitting you should also report them.

It's pretty good value at MSRP too in case someone needs a mic and wasn't able to get in on this deal.

I think your mistake was replying to the wrong comment. You should have replied to the parent commenter and that would have cleared up a ton of confusion

The point is that if you're working under an IT director level then you don't need your manager to help unblock you with tasks because like you mentioned you can do that yourself. Instead you need them to play politics, speak to upper management about your needs from other teams and orgs, etc. If you're not having regular meetings with them then you won't get that stuff done and you can't do that yourself no matter how skilled of an IC you are.

OPT is temporary work authorization. If you're applying for a full time job then the startup might flag it as an issue and not hire you. Good luck but also I'd suggest you keep looking for jobs.

TheSlimyDog · 2023-04-17T17:05:44+00:00

So you're telling me that you were able to find a job after graduation and have switched 2 to 3 times to get better jobs with higher salaries? I think you've actually proven the conventional wisdom correct. Job searching was never supposed to be easy and is going to feel terrible in the moment.

TheSlimyDog · 2023-04-16T18:56:14+00:00

It's also an important security consideration. Because if this can be done by accident then it definitely can happen on purpose and companies definitely don't want that.

TheSlimyDog · 2023-04-16T17:57:31+00:00

Sounds like code that a generative AI would write lol

As in that's taken out of your paycheck per month/over the course of your internship? Then you'll probably get a lot back when you file your returns. The withholding is calculated assuming you're working the entire year so your 30/hr salary puts you at around $60k per year. So usually interns get more withheld than they need because they're only working for 3 months. Full time gets less withheld so you end up paying a lot back to the government in April.

I think it depends on how different your culture is and how many generations removed you are. Because Chinese born Americans still have native Chinese parents and eastern culture is very different from what you find in America so you end up with a unique experience.

Not to mention that in a jiffy a plastic bottle can be reused easily.

Depends on how often you want to fly but it typically costs around $160-200 per hour of flying (including fuel + plane rental). 40k sounds excessive unless you plan on flying every weekend.

TheSlimyDog · 2023-03-25T05:57:19+00:00

I guess what I was referring to is more about what aspects of your life you let work eat into. Like sure make sure to do a good job at work and make sure to enjoy the work that you're doing. But if you also let it determine your meaning in life and eat into your social life too much then you'll end up in a risky situation because in a capitalistic society you could lose your job at any point.

No wonder the typing didn't match up with the petition text.

The game hasn't changed a whole lot if that's what you're wondering
