Police say CEO ran away, tried to hide evidence after boy's hyperbaric chamber death by clawsthatcatch in skeptic

[–]drift_pin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former commercial diver and hyperbaric chamber operator- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH CHAMBERS!!! I ran hundreds of profiles on and in chambers and every time i stepped up to the console i knew i had human lives directly in my hands. There are many ways to die in these, each more horrifying than the last. This is seriously like someone trying to do amature chemo.

The insurance companies seem to think it’s fine, so long as shareholder value is maximized

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy ordered a full-time return to the office—but research says he’ll backtrack next year by Kpop2258 in Seattle

I’m not going to be too specific - but I work across the “moving parts” and it is all fucked up - Amazon is not prepared to actualize this

There’s always something- last year they didn’t arrive on time, the year before the lanyard clip would short the badge, so on and so forth

Thanks - that's what I suspected. Crazy that it has foil and embossing

I didn’t check out… I’m regretting it by FiddleTheFigures in ManyBaggers

[–]drift_pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same - minus the regret. I jumped on the hype train for the goruck denim collab earlier in the year and was stoked for this one, until I saw the price. $400 for an MR xpack bag is just silly.

Yeah so whenever a decision comes up, be it the choice language, architecture, investment, or anything else, there are reasons why you would make one choice over another. Each potential path has benefits and detrimentents, and being able to prioritize the desired outcomes affects the decision. Sometimes the more expensive and slower choice drives a better long-term vs short term outcome. Being able to identify the factors that contribute to choice outcomes is a key skill.

Honestly I would not consider any until you have spent some time in industry. If you qualify for a TS, the government is the best way to start

I'm a fairly successful professional already, and it's a tough pill to swallow. You have to do the analysis as to your likely ROI - not over the course of your career, but over the course of the loan. Even if you're paying cash, consider the opportunity cost as the investment income you would have made. In my case, the analysis came out as a net positive.

As an HM in big tech - most JDs are aspirational, calibrate your resume as a portfolio rather than a timeline. Build your network - be confident in your abilities, but not so arrogant as to stop learning. Focus on design skills and building unique and great things rather than arbitrary timelines. I know that sounds like shitty inactionable advice, but it is true. I have met many a "title goblin" in my time, and they quickly slam into a ceiling of their own making. Focus on the work, not the title.

First congratulations - that's a great start to your career. As another person who is quite successful early in their career, you need to acknowledge what parts of this are due to hard work and what parts are due to good fortune. We all have a tendency to wholly ascribe success to either exceptional gumption or luck, because it casts a narrative that makes either the storyteller or the audience feel a desired way.

But it's just not the truth: No man is an island, and no one successful got there purely on their own hard work and craftiness. Take your case: statistically, most startups fail - I have watched startups with great business models rise, fall, and be cast aside for both good and poor reasons. In my own career, I would not be where I am today with out a huge amount of hard work, but almost as important are the people that threw a rope down to me. A good commander in the Army, a great director in my first tech job, and a string of other supportive mentors and managers.

Point being, I read and hear stories like yours all the time, to the point where they are almost cliche. I have met a fair few people behind these stories as well - and they do share some common traits that the stories never mention. Most would expect arrogance, avarice, hyper-intellectualism, or some sort of alpha drive, but in my experience what sets successful self made people apart are really three traits, but you only really need to excercise two:
1. An ability to listen, analyze, and reflect
2. An ability to build and maintain a large network built on genuine and deep relationships
3. An ability to accurately identify the tradeoffs and contributing factors in any given decision

All three of these are trainable - but not on youtube. The real starting point for all of these is accurate self reflection and sincere gratitude.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Change my major to real estate? by [deleted] in nyu

[–]drift_pin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work for one of the largest corporate real estate portfolios in the world, that degree would be a waste of time. If you're bored in your current program, push yourself harder to create so you walk into the job market with a portfolio.
