It's maybe not a literary masterpiece and it's suspiciously similar to The Martian if you squint. But not many books can get me laughing out loud the second or third time through.
It's a really fun read and I find the aliens particularly compelling in a way that most Sci-Fi doesn't get right.
If you're walking out over unfair treatment or wage theft or similar, sure, skip the interview.
If you're at the end of your first internship, or leaving on good terms, or both parties genuinely care, there's plenty to be gained.
The exit interview I had with an intern after my first time mentoring was very valuable for both of us, and was a positive point in our relationship.
On the other hand, I'm quitting the same job and will be declining any exit interview with "I've spent the last six months explaining to you why I'm quitting". There is no value at all to be gained from the conversation so I won't.
Skip the interview if the job sucks. Participate if you think you'll get value, or in particular if you're young and early in your career.
You're right, someone has to pay to make these AI generated ads for fake boner pills in the middle of my documentary. Won't someone think of the poor ad creators?
I don't think Google deserves money for ai generated ads for fake boner pills.
Google already makes untold amounts of money from spying on me. Yesterday I started seeing new recommended videos related to a show I watched on my private jellyfin server.
Google spies on me everywhere, tracks me across the open internet and my local network, then sells this data to whoever for God knows how much money and you want to tell me I owe Google even more money?
Last year I switched to a local mom&pop pharmacy from CVS. It was a really strange experience when the owner greeted me by name after seeing me twice over a month apart. Almost startling and somewhat offputting.
I just kind of forgot that some people are just that good at recognizing others. It's something I can't relate to at all, so it's a concept that just slips away from my mental models. But I suppose that's always how it is when you try to conceptualize how another being experiences the world.
God, I wish someone would do this to discord already. I'm so sick of updating it through my package manager every other day only for discord to then download its own updates anyway.
Yes, I've disabled the update check. No, it doesn't solve the problem.
Being able to run a successful business and being a great engineer are two entirely separate and non-overlapping skillsets.
If you're trying to launch a business, you'll have no time for engineering. If you're the engineer, you have no time to run the business.
These are two entirely separate jobs that need to be done by different people.
I'm not strictly a founder, but I am the first real engineer this company has had. I love the work, but if I were also responsible for the business itself, neither job would get done. You'd have to be an exceptional superstar to do both.
Why become a founding engineer instead of starting your own business? Because you want to do engineering. The vast, overwhelming majority of people cannot do both.
Sure, food is contaminated with rocket fuel in the same way that it's contaminated with embalming fluid.
Formaldehyde is SCARY! It's EMBALMING fluid used on DEAD PEOPLE!! Definitely shouldn't be in our drinking water!!!
Clickbait garbage.
Also, "perchlorate" is not a chemical. It's an entire class of chemicals, many of which occur naturally. Is there some perchlorate pollution in the food and water supply? Probably. Does it have anything at all to do with rocket fuel? Sure, probably around 0.0001%.
E: after thinking for a couple of minutes, they probably are talking about potassium perchlorate (I only skimmed the article until the 'zomg rocket fuel' panic). This is an extremely common chemical both in the lab and in all sorts of consumer products, but mainly pyrotechnics. It also doesn't appear to be particularly toxic; it seems to affect iodine uptake by the thyroid, but long term studies seem to be inconclusive.
Or maybe this is just how young people think when given access to this type of information.
