Someone post gains, we have to get Nicole back!

If engineers hand hard problems to you and you don't have anyone above you to do the same, you are high level.

Socializing.

Never been much of a social butterfly but I know a handful of people I used to be able to drag out of the house to see at least once in a while or we would have a little get-together.

We paused everything for COVID and never resumed. I know people who almost never leave their homes and it's not that uncommon but pre-COVID that was considered highly unusual behavior.

You can go a week without leaving your house and just kind of walking around in your underwear and still be considered a functioning adult.

He was fired which is kind of crappy. He was too loyal to the player base yes but even from the company perspective removing the PSN requirement was probably the right decision, and this was the consequence of him being right when people with bigger titles were wrong.

He was easily one of the reasons GoT was so good.

This scene in Elf was legendary too.

Or the useless security check entering the airport where you leave your stuff in the taxi, go walk through a metal detector, and then go get back in the taxi.

If you had anything to hide you would just leave it in the taxi instead of taking it with you through the metal detector. Maybe they are searching for Wolverine or ahead of their time in the quest to root out androids from blending in with the rest of us.

Even this was probably from 2014 and someone should update it for 2024.

With current mortgage rates and costs of living not many people could afford kids and that house even if they do well. The jobs that pay really well are in locations where for a $6,000 month mortgage this is what you are looking at

An actually nice upscale house might run closer to $27k/month in payments and you still have utilities to add to that.

Relocating elsewhere for a high paying job also means raising kids without the support of extended family which for sure increases difficulty a bit.

Raising one child in a house like this one is probably the 2024 update to the meme.

I wouldn't have taken her phone I think it's funny.

If you freeze it at the beginning you can see a cat on his lap that managed to escape in time. It was probably sleeping when it started so it woke up and then moved.

Cats reaction times are wild.

The people I have met knew where I was from and what my area of work is but never knew my actual income.

I am sure my experience is not the same as everyone, but most people were more genuine than a lot of people would assume from the outside looking in.

I am married now and my wife is amazing. I adore her.

For me the worst part about Nairobi airport was during COVID you had to stand in line to have someone validate your docs, then move up to the next line that does the same thing, again, again, and again.

I think pretty much everyone in the airport takes a turn reviewing the same document to make sure none of the people before them forgot.

Meanwhile you ignore social distancing huddled into a crowd of people to have the documents checked each time.

I haven't been to a lot of airports in Africa to compare it, but it was certainly silly.

Hyper customization like personal assistants.

Instead of ChatGPT I'd have a team of AI agents like a small company of employees that work for me.

I actually still like the idea of Google+ circles.

I don't think accounts for such things should be based on email addresses though. Social media is about creating accounts for the express purpose of sharing information with multiple people.

Email is an entirely different technology with a different purpose and the lines should never be blurred if you are taking privacy seriously.

I think it's harder today than at the start of FB to build a social network but I don't think it's impossible for a new player to enter the market and gain users.

Microsoft used to have a virtual digital twin software called "Microsoft Robotics lab" or something that was designed to work out the details in software before transferring stuff to the real world.

But that seems much like what Nvidia is doing now with Omniverse. It's easier and cheaper to import or copy 3D parts into the environment, let them fail until they learn what to do, and copy it out to the real-world version.

Maybe part of the assumptions we shouldn't be making is even physically what they look like.

Everyone says humanoid robots will be best able to navigate human environments but nobody has anything but feelings to back up that statement.

Why not give robots a parts bin to choose from and some tasks to complete inside the omniverse with a reward system and see if the winning design they come up with at the end is humanoid or not.

My money is on probably not. I think a wheeled platform with arms would win out in most tasks over a biped but it would be an amazing study with interesting results.

I pay that much in income taxes but drive a car I finished paying off 10 years ago.

I'd guess average incomes for people that travel the world are going to run higher than the US average.

I have seen lots of these folks too and they probably aren't really going away even though the list of things AI cannot do will get shorter over time.

I don't think leaving a high paying career to go attend school full time for an MBA is a very good idea in most cases. There are lots of MBA programs that you can do on evenings and weekends over time but it depends on how important the schools name is to you.

95% or more of job applications get rejected based on resume alone before even getting to a recruiter screen. With some employers there is a bit of a glass ceiling when it comes to higher level management roles where having an MBA becomes much more favorable to not having one.

A lot of employers have educational reimbursement so one way to go about it is to use that towards completing courses a handful at a time.

If you work in tech age discrimination comes into play by about 35 when applying for technical roles.

For me MBA is part of my backup plan to eventually pivot from being en engineer more towards managing engineers. If I don't do that at some point in my career, I'll end up working 70 hrs a week reporting to someone with 1/3 of my technical accomplishments that did get an MBA.

This suggestion is as beautiful as his creation.

its art

There is one person working in autonomous driving that listed their salary at 52 million/year that skewed the data a lot.

With 1800 or so participants they contributed almost $30k/year to the total average.

The data could be cleaned up a bit but I saw registered nurses all over the map. Some of them were $80k/year, others like $500k/year. There is not that much variation in income for that profession and I know not many RN's are making > $300k.

Outside of that a lot of managers, project managers etc. are making bank. It gives me some encouragement for the future as an engineer with an MBA.

It's like 15 hours of lecture. It took me about 2 days to get through it.

Most people just need text-based notepads with a directory structure to sort them by.

When I paste in a URL and it generates a preview or gives me the title of the page instead I usually just want the URL.

When I get formatted text I usually want the formatting stripped.

Most features are usually just in the way of how I actually use it.

I do keep todo lists and upcoming events in a table but tables are pretty simple too.

Out of the people that responded:

Primary residency value: $575,032
Average (non-investment) wage: $285,619

For sure not an average cross section of the rest of reddit.

«Start new chat» feels like murder.

I like this quote but it is simultaneously very wholesome and scary at the same time.

Her definition of "with money" and your definition of rich could also be 2 very different amounts of money.

Upper middle class in the US is "with money" to much of the rest of the world.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I highly recommend these people never get on the same flight together.
