  • Everything you've said here is pretty much the opposite of your initial "minimum job requirements" comment.

  • Everyone lies in interviews. However, a lot of people don't understand what will make them desirable so they lie about the wrong thing.

    Someone who understands the role enough to lie to make themselves seem desirable is better than someone who doesn't.

  • Not everything is about gaza.

  • LOL. You sound like you're ripe for restructure.

  • We don't talk about politics or religion or health.

    My parents have never been very well reasoned.

    However, I've found that the best way to challenge people's beliefs is to just ask what it would take to change their mind.

    You're still not going to win, but their answer will force you to acknowledge that they're nuts and can't be reasoned with.

  • I don't think i could do it. I don't have the patience. So irritating.

  • Meh. We all mess up the terminology sometimes.

  • I'm not assuming you're an idiot, but I'm sure you agree that team members with some aspirations are better than those who like OP, tell you they're only there for the money.

    If you could choose, you surely wouldn't choose the latter.

  • I've never seen headless used that way.

    Usually it means a computer without a monitor.

    So my home server is headless because there's no monitor plugged in. I just connect with ssh to do whatever and if I really wanted, yes I could install a desktop environment and remote desktop stuff. Still headless.

  • I don't really follow.

    If you could select your own team from a large pool of employees, would you choose the person who said "I'm just here for the money and will do the bare minimum required per my role's responsibilities", or would you choose the person who said "I'm so passionate about whatever thing we do and I'm excited to be part of your team because I want to learn all I can from you".

    If you chose the first guy then you're an idiot, sorry.

    IDK why you'd tell that to team members honestly. It's great that you want your team to be happy and relaxed and also great that you don't want to take advantage of them. However, you need to balance that against helping them be the best they can be. Imagine joining a rowing team and your captain just saying "yeah so on this team we invest the minimum effort we can get away with while not sinking".

    If I looked back at the colleagues and supervisors that really received my best work and pushed me to be a little bit better than I really was ... I didn't like any of them at the time.

  • The correct response is non-verbal. You have to demonstrate that you're motivated and friendly.

    Telling coworkers that you're only there for the money is the corporate equivalent of telling your spouse you're only with them because your asshole isn't going to lick itself and you don't have any better options right now.

    Everyone goes to work to make money. You're not special in this regard. No one would go if they weren't getting paid. The real question is why you're doing this job to earn money instead of doing some other job to earn money.

    The correct answer is, "I've always been passionate about

    <fruit bats>

    and I dream of one day

    <farming fruit bats>

    so I'm starting out in this job

    <counting fruit>

    because

    <tangential relationship>

    and I'm looking forward to learning all I can from you guys."

    However, you need to walk this walk, saying the things isn't enough.

    I often find myself explaining this to new team members: things go so much easier if people like you. You don't really have to be an especially likable person, just a little empathy, and avoid being a dick. It doesn't take much to phrase things in such a way that people actually want to help you.

  • I don't think "nearest city" is the best description.

    It looks like, ABS identifies every urban area with at least 10,000 people, and then tags it with "the most relevant" centre in the region, or something like that.

    So it's something like, the way in which ABS divides localities into statistically useful segments.

  • To someone who doesn't know where the population clusters are, this map isn't a good visual representation.

    Also, clustered populations isn't really the reason for our house prices being what they are.

  • Everyone feels like this. A therapist isn't going to tell you things about yourself you didn't know.

    Think of it like a personal trainer. We all know that exercising regularly will help maintain good health, but few people actually do it. A PT can help you develop a regime which is achievable and targeted to your goals.

  • IDK anything about cooking really but... being heavier is a big deal. You kinda charge up the pan with stored heat and then when you plonk your steak or whatever on there it's going to sizzle and give you that nice crusty crispified outside.

    It's the difference between something that looks like this picture, and the steak your grandma makes.

  • console for quick and dirty understanding but inspector for more complex fixes.

  • I reject with the premise.

    For good reason, it feels that the only major discussion in markets is whether AI is in a bubble or whether it’s actually the early innings of a revolutionary phrase.

    I think everyone knows that AI is over-hyped, and you can call that a bubble if you will.

    The question which is unanswerable is how over hyped is it and when will the hype train stop or when will the bubble burst.

    Everyone's pension fund is balls-deep in shares of the magnificent 7. It's the only game in town and you kinda can't afford not to be.

    Suppose you decide the bubble is going to burst tomorrow, so you dispose of all your mag-7 shares and buy into renewables. Then maybe the bubble doesn't burst tomorrow, but in 2 years time, by which time everyone else who still has their mag-7 shares has doubled their value.

  • LOL. Trump loves bailouts.

  • To my knowledge, there is no monitoring involved

    Mozilla discusses the "signals" they rely on for ads here:

    spoiler: there is monitoring involved

    Whether or not this is a privacy problem for any given user is a question for that user to consider, but there's no question that ads are "relevant to" privacy.

    I'm not quite sure what you're demonstrating with the ungoogled chromium link. I suggested using a chromium fork, like ungoogled or cromite that have these patches and build switches to improve privacy.
