infernal machines posted:the shittiest place i have ever worked actually had a "policy" about not discussing salary/wages. Motorola Solutions has a publicly listed toll-free 'employment verification' hotline that tells prospective employers what you made there, down to the dollar. one of the reasons I couldn't play poker coming to Denver. Don't ever work for Motorola Solutions.

triple sulk posted:Diabetic alert dogs are good because some diabetics are terrible at managing their blood sugar (so pumps are not the best solution), and as Fishmech here alluded to, it's a dog that you cannot ignore because it is literally trained to not stop bothering you until you have done something to fix your blood sugar levels. They're basically as well behaved as police dogs and the programs to train them are just as rigorous. It's pretty cool. what other interesting dog related info do you have

Main Paineframe posted:gonna crowdsource deathrays. instead of building his own he'll send out a bunch of free laser pointers and then make an app that pays each one of them a small amount of money if they all go point their lasers at whoever he wants deathrayed Meth dealers used to buy dozens of boxes of pseudoephedrine ('pseudo') at a time to stock up on cook supplies. The FDA, DEA and law enforcement agencies tightened down purchase limits so the dealers distributed the pseudo gathering to the customers. now the cost of a bag of meth to the end customer is $SUM_OF_MONEY and 2 boxes of pseudo. this is obviously impossible to trace from the supply side. the cops disrupted their own poo poo lmao

When he called their bluff, Walmart execs said they'd be happy to tear the hundreds of millions of dollars facility down and rebuild it on the Arkansas side. He signed the NDA.

the best part about talking about india and the tech scene is that you can't really say much about 2014 india without sounding a little racist. they unified as far as work ethic goes and now you're a terrible racist if you point out that they have institutionalized academic fraud and a 'do just enough to get paid' culture
