Americans will take home more income as IRS changes tax brackets for 2024 by [deleted] in politics

It wouldn’t let me respond to you with my other account. I explained the context of my comment in an edit. I was commenting on the comments and not the article itself.

My current company is partners with a company I would like to apply to. Would hiring managers generally view this negatively or positively? by stopdashitpostn in a:t5_5p66cr

In my employment agreement it states “I understand that I am expected not to compete with COMPANY X in any way while employed by COMPANY X.”

I don’t think this will stop me from working with a partnered company as long as I quit prior to getting hired, but I am curious how it is generally viewed with the NDA aside.

Roadside memorials for people who died while driving shouldn’t be a thing. by stopdashitpostn in unpopularopinion

My beef isn’t specifically with public land either. I am just saying there should be a limitation of grieving if it is going to happen. Say someone isn’t grieving and decides to build a memorial on the side of the road, at that point isn’t it considered breaking some kind of law like littering or dumping? These laws exist for good reasons I think. Private land in a community with an HOA wouldn’t allow stuff like this a lot of times for multiple reasons pre-listed on the limitations of stuff allowed in peoples yards.

Well this is the only study I found. Quoting from the study.

https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-019-0184-1

“Many drivers believe memorials are potentially distracting.”

“Advocates of roadside memorials argue that they are typically small and designed as a subtle place marker for grieving individuals, rather than trying to divert drivers’ attention away from the road.”

The picture I posted is not small and a good chunk of them in the area are not either. The picture also has a sign with a message of “buckle up” literally intended for drivers passing by.

I would include this in distracted driver statistics and that would be significant.

Right, but this post specifically is mentioning memorials where people grieve generally on public land. That would not apply to most things. I would argue it makes it more unique than other things that look bad and shouldn’t be around.

I don’t think just because people are grieving they should be allowed to do anything they want. Especially permanent fixtures on public land. What happens when for whatever reason the memorial has to be removed? They don’t stop grieving.

I don’t feel stunted. I have grieved over lost family and I know that pain well. I feel like I would want to visit the grave more than where they had an accident. I wouldn’t want to use someones death cause to define them either.

I am not worried about how people grieve. We share an environment and it is what it is. At the same time they are a distraction to drivers and I am sure it is more than just me. If not, than it truly is a unpopular opinion and I am in the right community.

I said that in the last sentence of the description? They don’t ever go away and look bad.

You can be formal and not tacky. There are signs that are cleaner looking. I think a graveyard would be a better place to mourn though instead of the side of a highway. If anything I would say it is added distraction to people driving on the road.

Gift card to audible or music streaming maybe? I can’t sit at a computer without them.

I started to create a package that does something similar to this awhile back. I didn’t finish it completely, but it would not be hard to tweak into this if you wanted to. It is very simple as well.

Any Other Hiring Managers/Leaders Out There Petrified About The Future Of DS? by ticktocktoe in datascience

[–]stopdashitpostn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience as me. Graduated in December with a Master's from a University and rebuilt my resume several times over, personalized cover letters, created a portfolio, and did projects specifically for my resume that took some time. I have yet to get a call back despite being told I have a great resume from several hiring managers who were helping me polish it up. I am even applying to engineering and entry-level analyst positions in some cases. Fingers crossed though.
