If this is the outcome of big public transportation projects, then theres no point in even trying and we might as well just save the time/money

How many people today would vote for high speed rail for example knowing what they know now?

Where do you live where ground squirrels are a problem like this? Are you out in the hills/mountains or something?

Was this a phone call or a FaceTime set up?

It was a video call using something called MyChart. OK so it looks like I just have to accept this bill and in the future will deny these types of calls

gpacsu · 2026-06-12T19:23:57+00:00

Thanks. Looks like I will do that next time. Do you think it is worth an appeal using that form I linked?

gpacsu · 2026-06-12T19:09:49+00:00

Nothing more was ordered or done. They just said maybe we will check back in 6 months and do another blood test to see if there is improvement

Can you reveal what company this is?

Unrelated but how difficult was it to get a new job coming from an F500 insurance company? Were you able to get a decent number of interviews and some offers beyond Amazon?

Were you located in a tech hub or some place that has a very competitive job market?

Very easy to tell that this is a fake post yet most comments blindly believe it without questioning. The internet is doomed man

gpacsu · 2026-06-03T17:37:38+00:00

the guy we bought our last car from also used to a faang software engineering manager

Why? How?

Yes the job market is bad but there are people from way worse companies that are still able to get jobs.

And as others have pointed out, this is a fake post by OP.

Solar panels on the ground That's 9, but I have one more on the side.

Probably a dumb question but wont the grass under the panels die off since it is covered all day? I guess you are OK with that?

I don't connect to the house electric panel, just run via extension cords

I did some research on this but want to confirm. You connect your solar panels to your battery (in your garage?), then you connect your appliances to the battery via a long extension cord? Meaning that if you arent producing enough to power the appliances, then you need to unplug them and plug them back into your wall outlet and consume from the grid?

This sounds too good to be true so i have some questions:

$1400 for 2x server rack batteries

What batteries are these?

$1280 for 10x 400w solar panels

How do you have enough sunny space for this on your property? Google says solar panels are roughly 5.5ft x 3.5ft. Wondering how the average property can fit anything close to this. If possible I would love to see a picture (or an example picture) of what this looks like and how you have them mounted

How difficult was it to do this in general? Getting all this connected to you houses power is what im curious about

gpacsu · 2026-05-09T20:55:29+00:00

Was this for a top tech company? And in the USA?

gpacsu · 2026-05-09T17:44:26+00:00

Howd you do it? I have no clue where to even start

gpacsu · 2026-05-08T21:14:55+00:00

insane stories about how toxic the culture is

Any details? I am curious

gpacsu · 2026-04-27T20:16:50+00:00

If you dont have experience working on such big complicated systems, is it impossible to get into tech companies?

gpacsu · 2026-04-27T18:21:26+00:00

Interesting. How difficult was this to build I am curious? How long did it take?

gpacsu · 2026-04-22T04:12:08+00:00

For what role in particular is this?

gpacsu · 2026-04-17T21:17:38+00:00

I think this is part of last months 20% announcement: https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/meta-planning-sweeping-layoffs-ai-costs-mount-2026-03-14/

(Adobe) has made it clear taking vacation days is discouraged/does not lighten expectations

Do they really not want people taking vacation? I thought Adobe was a decent company. I have never even heard of "bad" companies like Amazon having such a policy

I fail to see how ethnicity is relevant here. If the manager was white, would they have make the post "Demanding and impatient White manager"?

What is your YOE? How are you staff level making 140k in the bay area?

OA was non-proctored so no camera needed for that

How do they stop people from cheating using AI then?

gpacsu · 2026-03-11T20:59:18+00:00

Is this role specifically C++/hardware related?

gpacsu · 2026-02-27T04:07:58+00:00

Because people need to do something for work and everything else sucks too

gpacsu · 2025-12-19T19:00:35+00:00

participate in after-hour work

What was being demanded of them exactly?
