My Chem major buddy said it was fine, but I'm not an accurate judge of that as someone who studied CS and PoliSci.

Haha. My Chem major roommate and I used to do this in college while hosting house parties. We'd do 3 rounds of filtration using a Britta purifier with Popov Vodka and fill up a sanitized Ketel On…

Whoops my bad. I thought I saw crappy beer when I posted. Still stand by my sentiments thought.

My two cents - a lot of "crappy" beers are honestly pretty good, and a lot of trendy Hazy SpaceDust Double IPAs or Coffee Imperial Stouts brewed in Bourbon Casks just suck. A simple Hamm…

After dealing with the traffic in Charminar, I'd probably share the same sentiment.

Yea. I'm using the term loosely. Like the Naan which I'd have in my dad's village had egg, maida, dahi, and atta and would be put in a tandoor. I thought sheermal is the same except wit…

For a handful of programming discussions on HN that is true, but whenever HN starts touching categories which I have academic or professional experience - such as social sciences, business, devops, or…

So I can only speak for Amritsari and Dogra/Kaladi Kulche but they are basically lighter than Naan and supposed to be more smokey (because they've been in the tandoor longer), and if it'…

I think that's spelt Miramax...

Seems to be a submarine piece for BCG's France practice to market how they can provide staff augmentation at the Management level (aka the whole pitch behind Management Consulting).

Not in DC anymore but I worked and lived there for a hot second in the 2010s. If you don't want to work a government or defense adjacent tech job, Capital One or cybersecurity vendors would be yo…

Is this even verified? Just about every single culture war that has happened in the Indian twitterverse has ended up being proven wrong (eg. the FB political influence story that The Wire published). …

The bigger issue is unevenness in the creation of manufacturing clusters. For example, most of those packaged medicines in the export graph are primarily manufactured in the Chandigarh/Himachal&#…

That's a fair point. DMV definetly skews top 10%, but I feel the affordability skew doesn't feel as crazy compared to the Bay Area. At least there's plenty of building occurring in DC a…

Govt experience can translate well into Federal Sales and Solutions Engineering and Product Management. I've found ex-Govt engineers to be amazing salespeople, because they understand both the te…

They try their damndest, but the systems can be a hot piece of garbage. That said, it isn't drastically worse than other foreign agencies I've dealt with.

It's much more "middle class" than wealthy imo. For example, most lobbyists for top firms earn less than an L3 at Google and less than a GS-15 or SES1 employee, and with much less job s…

This needs to be upvoted! He's right! DMV has a similar energy and vibe to how the Bay Area felt in the early 2000s, and that's definetly because of the cybersecurity ecosystem that has been…

Oh whoa! I didn't see that! Good to hear!

It's a good job with great benefits, but idk how many FAANG employees wokld be eligible due to Drug Testing or Marijuana requirements (if you smoked within the last 10 years, you're ineligib…

Try opening a small business in NYC in the early 20th century without paying off Tammany Hall or the same in SF without paying Ruef

Corruption was WAY worse back then. Hell, the examples provided are way less crazy than graft scandals and mafia wars from the time period you are looking at with rose tinted glasses [0] [0] - https…

Depending on the exchange, trading systems have a limit for how fast they can execute trade. For example, I think the CFTC limits algorithmic trades to a couple nanoseconds - anything faster would run…

And as a Product Manager, I'd support that. Most PMs I see now in the industry are glorified Business Analysts who aren't providing value for the amount of money spent on them. But that'…

That's a bad PM then to be honest. I think ChatGPT will definetly commodify a lot of "bitch work" (pardon my french). The PMs who are only writing tickets and not participating in acti…

A lot of TikTok posters made videos showing how to break into Hyundais and Kias as they lack immobilizers, so anyone looking for a car to joyride in or use as a getaway car during a robbery or a drive…

There is an undergrad elective course exactly like that for computing at Harvard. It was one of the CS91r's from a couple years ago.

Didn't get time to finish replying/sourcing articles, but most climate projections show that the Boston area will see much more nuisance flooding and much more severe Nor'easters, speci…

Prevailing wage is a minimum wage the USCIS generates per job type for the H1B. You need to pay at least the prevailing wage to get an H1B for your employee. Not doing so becomes immigration fraud. To…

Boston is literally sinking. Some of the most expensive parts of the Boston metro such as Backbay, most of Cambridge, and most of downtown Boston are built on reclaimed land that will be flooded when …
