Eh that's not entirely true, but I'd need to start taking director level positions and I just don't like managing people.

Yeah, but it comes with caveats. Mainly, being incredibly bored. I worked for a big financial firm a while back and it was mind numbing. I was working with technology that should have been retired a decade ago, mainly just patching security holes in an API for banks. Not only is that boring as hell, but my newer skills atrophy and go without practice, leaving me eventually out of work.

I got a cute butt and I didn't even pay for it.

It happens a lot when you work for startups.

Not a huge deal honestly. I'm just gonna cash out my 401k and use that until I pick up another job.

This was a weird thread to post in today. I cursed myself. I just got laid off because my company ran out of money.

Absolutely. There's no shame in social safety nets, despite what conservatives want you to believe. In every other first world country, things like that are a given. I've been laid off a couple times, and the first thing I do is go apply for unemployment and food stamps - even if I have a job offer lined up to move to anyways. It never hurts to be prepared.

IMO if you leave the store before making sure your phone is set up and working on your account, it's your own damn fault.

Yeah they also come with shittier network coverage than even Sprint, and that's saying something. I like to have 4G in more places than a 5 square foot area in the middle of a metro city. Verizon is really the only choice for that.

I usually buy phones outright so I can get unlocked versions, but I financed my S8 since Best Buy had a $300 off deal.

Why would anyone get one? It's just a Galaxy S8 with less features that costs more.

We do, but I could just as easily have the same folder structure with nginx - I just like the /var/www/domain root.

Fanfictions wont be migrated, but I'll leave this place accessible as an archive for a while in case you want to move them over yourself.

That's a good point. I'll make sure that's clarified in the near future. For the time being, don't call people racial/homophobic/sexist epithets. I don't personally think "retard" is that bad, but I'll start a discussion with the mod team and see if we can come up with some overall guidelines.

I got the flu shot lol. It doesn't really matter when there's 20 new strains of the flu every year.

Probably because living with chronic pain all my life has led me to ignore the signals my body gives me until something is really fucked up.

Apparently I've had an ear infection, sinus infection and tonsil infection and it took me getting the flu to find out. Tussionex got me floating and antibiotics doing the work.

Update status: waiting on help from IPB Support concerning migration.

I don't know about AI in general, but for what I do you need a strong engineering background, fundamental understanding of data science (statistics, analytics, etc.) and it really helps to know some kind of relational logic system like SQL to frame things the right way in your mind.

I'm a software engineer and a computer scientist. I develop Machine Learning applications (weak AI) for business applications mostly.

I don't really keep track anymore. I wake up at 9 and work until 11pm-1am with random breaks in between of varying lengths and amounts. Sometimes I work a few hours on Saturday too. I'd guess around 90 or so a week on average.

The first pic is the thread title on the main board screen. Read it very carefully. It's what I saw first before clicking on the thread.

Fair point. I'm just saying that I've been there - I've lived off food stamps and other people's generosity and neither of those things would have been a good deal then either. They only sound like a good deal when you're desperate but they still aren't.

No it aint. $5 million wont be worth shit in 20 years, not worth being deaf for life. And if I couldn't fuck I would kill myself.
