trevorreznik posted:I went to Walmart today and parked my 99 Camry in a spot and got momentarily confused because I had like 4 feet extra spaceto one side. I thought a moment I had pulled in incorrectly then realized my car (not even a small one!) was just way smaller than parking sized for modern ultrabig vehicles. I live in a conservative area where probably at least half the vehicles you see on the road are needlessly large trucks or suvs for personal travel and I still can't really get my work 250 into a normal parking space if I say wanna grab groceries or something on my way home. Width is fine in theory as long as you hit center of spot you won't be disturbing people parked on either side but if the aisles are narrow it can be real hard getting an angle to park between two existing cars. Length is the main problem though, this beast is a boat and is gonna stick out on one side or the other no matter how well I park it. Costco is about the only exception I've found but in general If I'm running errands after work I just park on the far side of a parking lot where I can pull through an empty space to get centered easily and leave the bed sticking a bit into the space I pulled through. It's not a nice experience though and even though I get free gas and no one would really care if I ran errands in my work truck on the weekend I prefer driving my altima cause it makes you not have to think about that poo poo at all. I find it kind of bizarre people enjoy driving around these tanks in a general sense, the only convenience I feel like they really give is being able to see over other large vehicles in traffic but that's just a dumb arms race.

i don't want to hand it to wolfers, but a lot of the "tech layoff" thing was just companies subbing out their most expensive employees for ones doing the same job for 1/2 to 1/4 the price.

have tech companies even hit pre-COVID headcounts? my impression is that we're talking about 50-100% headcount increase 2020-2022 and maybe a 10-20% drawback

i am harry posted:this paragraph seems very anecdotal and that’s being polite but I’d love for it to be true because that would point to an engineering spirit amongst the poor to use the systems for good and a greater success rate than my anecdotal experiences There was a lawyer in Eastern Kentucky that was basically bribing admin judges for SSDI hearings to get people on disability, all for a mere 25% cut of their SSDI earnings. Eventually he got caught and everyone he'd been representing had to re-apply for SSDI. Looks like the lawyer was sentenced to 27 years in jail although 15 of that was for fleeing the country before sentencing. sullat has issued a correction as of 04:19 on Jul 10, 2023 |

There was an American Greed episode about Eric Conn, even - pretty entertaining one although it pointing out that the overwhelming majority of the people he filed for legit should have gotten SSDI and that he was expediting the pain-in-the-rear end process by his bribery (since the administrative judges were approving it whereas in 99% of the jurisdictions they deny it and force appeals).

shrike82 posted:have tech companies even hit pre-COVID headcounts? anyways i don't think there's been a lot of evidence that workers were getting replaced with cheaper. the layoffs are over because we're now in a p e r m a b u l l market with the latest hot web 3.0 nft crypto AI gold rush and 10 tech companies making up the whole SP500 in a jenga tower.

It's still kinda loving me up that the S&P 500 transformed into a tech mutual fund. I really need to be paying more attention.

higher end workers being laid off is the narrative in the valley and I also have support for that at my (valley) company; bizarrely it went top down first (c suite, aging expensive ultra-senior coders) before it ever became about trimming mid level fat.

Vox Nihili posted:Wolfers sez: Tech layoffs didn't even happen, idiots! I (very reluctantly) agree with the idiot. My exposure is not to any of the big tech hubs or the really big tech companies, but my experience over the last year is just seeing a lot hiring. Like, a lot of it. Developers, IT, DevOps, everything. I'm not looking for a job and I'm a contractor so my experience is a little different, but basically everyone I work for wants to hire me permanently and all I hear is that no one can find enough people. The tech layoff narrative feels extremely manufactured and strange. Paradoxish has issued a correction as of 04:46 on Jul 10, 2023 |

Paradoxish posted:I (very reluctantly) agree with the idiot. devops (actual dedicated devops and lumping the work on regular devs who don't care about it) and sales engineering positions are fine. senior and staff level engineering roles are dependent on various factors (tech stack, product market) so they may be semi fine, but wages are going to be reduced because companies have the upper hand. product and marketing anything is absolutely not fine and junior roles of any kind straight up do not exist. the problem that lies therein is that there are a hell of a lot of those people. recruiters are hosed too, but they're also the most useless human beings on earth so i don't feel bad for them. hiring processes are also at an all time low in general and companies have zero respect for anyone's time

BornAPoorBlkChild posted:https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/1677448738225156097?t=7G6qRYNH2xmqxkYQ6IqnDQ&s=19 Huh, who could've ever predicted that the government would use its patriot-act powers in bad ways? Especially since I've been told that it's good to have the fbi monitor & censor social media. quote:The FBI has maintained that its “intent is not to ‘scrape’ or otherwise monitor individual social media activity,” instead insisting that it “seeks to identify an immediate alerting capability to better enable the FBI to quickly respond to ongoing national security and public safety-related incidents.”
