Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Jump

  • Yeah, RIP German piracy community. Always a huge PITA to find German movies online. I wasn't aware one company is driving most of those lawsuits though, what a wild story. Can't fault them for finding a great business model though

    • What's the most expensive lesson you've learned?

    Jump

  • Depends on your needs. If you expect to grow fast and unpredictably, or have extreme burst workloads (at my company it fluctuates between requiring ~10 cpus to ~50,000, and between 0 GPUs and dozens) or if you need several complex types of services and no people at hand who can manage them, it can be way cheaper. If you just need a few servers, a tape backup and a database, actual hardware has always been cheaper.

  • My justification: nobody has stopped me yet🤷

    • Applying for a job where the scale is lower than I currently make. Is it ok to bring that up in negotiations?

    Jump

  • The range is just a number. Name another number. From my experience, chances are if they want you for the job they'll make a counteroffer, not outright reject jou if your offer is too high.

  • Do you really wanna make a species close to self annihilation multiplanetary though? It's probably pretty easy to nudge a few asteroids the wrong way given the right drive technology...so not sure space colonies would change the likelihood of doom.

  • Great question which is not at all a promotion!

    • Ex-British police officers admit sending racist messages about Prince Harry's wife and others

    Jump

  • TIL it's now illegal to be a racist twat in private.

    • If we discover the means to travel faster than light, but researching and developing the technology means that the Earth is destroyed in just a few decades, should the technology still be pursued?

    Jump

  • I don't think a civilization which would destroy their home with the single-minded goal of spreading throughout the universe in the blink of an eye should be allowed to spread beyond their local star system at all. Maybe re-evaluate after giving them a few centuries to mature.

  • Not if I have good reason to believe I won't get another one like the old any time soon.

    • Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

    Jump

  • I have a 25 min commute by subway and I enjoy banter with my colleagues. Due to covid I also know that I devolve into a troglodyte on full WFH so :shrug:

    • How many people would you save?

    Jump

  • agreed!

    • What's with telling YEARLY salaries?

    Jump

  • My bad, I didn't get notified someone replied to my comment and only just checked. As mentioned below in this thread, I meant we get 14 monthly salary payments, where "months" 13 and 14 are less taxed and are tacked onto a summer and winter month as a holiday and christmas bonus, respectively.

  • Is every second person on this fucking website suicidal? I guess the "lemmings" checks out.

    As for me, it would have to be a number of people that, by their sudden absence, manifestly affects the life of people I do know and care about. Like, at least a billion or so if randomly chosen

    edit: and that means possibly fewer if not random and more focused on my geographical location. If 100 mio die on my continent alone then the rest is still pretty screwed.

    • If You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently?

    Jump

  • 10k hefty savings lmao

    • What's with telling YEARLY salaries?

    Jump

  • In my country you collect 14 salaries. So yearly salary is just the only sensible way to compare internationally.

    • Bhutan cuts daily tourist fee by half to lure more visitors

    Jump

  • lmao, $200 per day. For that kind of money I could just as well go on vacation to a developed country.

    • How many hours a day do you actually work?

    Jump

  • Probably something like 6h or so. I enjoy my job and I think I do it well, but there's only so many hours you can juggle complex logic in your mind per day before your brain turns to mush. After that point any further minute spent staring at the screen would just be a waste of my time and motivation.

    • What helped you realize your calling?
