  • I too have thought about the family urn. Throw in the pet ashes too!

  • I haven't used Google for awhile now. It just became an ad-ridden hellhole.

  • I absolutely hate that. I've also seen many listings set as "Remote" but when you drill down into their description it's either like the above or "you must be within 25 miles of the office for occasional visits". LinkedIn should remove these listings and temporarily ban the businesses that do this type of bait and switch.

  • Something called "Shelter", the raid pictures in the article definitely don't make it look like the largest.

  • I'm not sure that there'd be enough voltage to cause a fire.

  • Lmao, which one is it, that it didn't happen or that they're being a Karen by calling towing companies for people illegally parked in handicap spots?

  • I literally don't care about promotions at this point. I'd rather continue working from home, that benefit is way better than a promotion.

  • I have a different electric truck with 21" tires, and it does fine in the snow. It even has a snow mode. The weight might make it even better than some pickups.

    This is the tires or something else with the design, for sure.

  • On Graphene with Sandboxed Google Play (even on Android 14), this was where the setting was.

  • They haven't released that information yet. We won't know until the layoffs are complete.

    Your "guess" is incorrect because you have no idea how any of this works, and no idea who is being let go. You also clearly don't use Twitch very much, so how could you possibly know the features that need to be maintained, deployed, fixed, and managed?

    You have not provided examples except for your own company and Valve, which is in a different industry. None of those work as a comparison.

    I hate greedy corporations like Twitch, and am not defending them. I'm simply trying to tell you why you're wrong, and you just keep parroting the same incorrect assumptions back. Why do you want Twitch to lay off even more people? It seems like you might be the one defending them, since this is a thread about layoffs after all. Layoffs that they shouldn't be doing because ultimately the execs were the ones that fucked up if they overhired, and they're also the ones that want more money for themselves. Layoffs = bigger exec bonuses.

  • No. Video is much more bandwidth intensive. Transcoding streams is also one of the most hardware intensive things you can do. They're not the same, and just because they don't own the hardware does not mean that they don't have to manage their hardware. AWS only provides access to their platform to Twitch in the same way they do for normal customers, therefore Twitch must handle everything the same as a normal customer would. They just get discounts, that's the only difference; they still own their infra. I think you might not know what "infra" is.

    You are continuing to assume that you're correct and smarter than a huge company with thousands of employees. If you know how Twitch can reduce headcount further, I'm sure the greedy execs would love to hear your ideas. They'd love to fire more engineers with your brilliant solution.

  • Scale and bandwidth. Valve is not in the same industry, and you cannot use it as a comparison.

  • Bandwidth doesn't require extra manpower? Since when? If you have a solution to reduce manpower for massive amounts of daily bandwidth, you could change big tech forever. So please enlighten us.

    Where are you getting the idea that having that much traffic, bandwidth, and daily active users only requires a skeleton crew? It's clear to me that you've never worked at scale, and never have you had to deal with anything related to big tech (and I have, which is why I know that you're incorrect). If you ever go to a bigger company, you are in for a shock. You really think a huge company like Twitch just has dead weight that they pay salary to for no reason, when their goal is ultimately to make more money?

    It's okay to be wrong. What's not okay is continually refusing to admit that you are in the wrong when multiple people are telling you exactly what the flaw in your logic is. You clearly are not worth arguing with, because you always have to be right and can never be wrong.

  • so we don't have to scale much

    I think this is the part that you're taking for granted. "Customers in the thousands" is no where near the scale of Twitch, and I can guarantee that Twitch uses more bandwidth a day than your company uses in a year (but probably multiple years).

  • I mean, you can get cancer at any age though. Sure, it's more likely when you're old, but excluding people with cancer from public positions seems weird.

  • Gotta love that most banks on there don't support TOTP or hardware keys. I wish SMS 2fa wasn't considered.

  • Hmm, wasn't paywalled for me, but here you go:

    DUNNELLON, Fla. (AP) — A missing Ohio teen was recovered in Florida after she logged in to an online video game at the home of the man who took her, authorities said.

    Thomas Ebersole, 31, was arrested last Wednesday at his Dunnellon home, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. The area is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Tampa. Police in Lima, Ohio, about 80 miles ( 130 kilometers) northwest of Columbus, had reported the girl missing on Dec. 28.

    The FBI had contacted the sheriff’s office earlier that day to request help in locating the missing 16-year-girl. Investigators determined that her World of Warcraft account had been used at a local address, which turned out to be Ebersole’s home, authorities said. His World of Warcraft account was also accessed at the location. World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

    Investigators made contact with Ebersole at his home, and he initially denied knowing the girl, officials said. But he eventually admitted that he had driven to Ohio to meet the teen and brought her back to his home, authorities said. Ebersole also told investigators that he was in a romantic relationship with the girl and was going to hide her in his home until they could get married.

    Ebersole provided detectives with online messages that further outlined his plans to meet the girl in Ohio and have sex with her, despite knowing that he was committing a crime, officials said.

    Ebersole faces felony charges of traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual activity and interfering with child custody, as well as a misdemeanor charge of sheltering an unmarried minor, according to jail records. He was being held on $6,000 bail. Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Ebersole.
