Except..that is literally how you train the algorithm? By what you watch and what you reject.

Friend convinced me to switch to Google Fi, got a robocall, Google tagged it as such, asked me if I wanted them to filter them out going forward, haven’t gotten another one since then. I think I’m a customer for life.

I have only one star to give. Yeah - the A pillar in my Prius can hide a 747. It’s hard to even see signals from other cars depending on the position. That’s why I always keep looking back and forth just in case.

The caveat here being that you probably shouldn’t run tests like these frequently.  If you’re drive is on its way out and you are constantly running tests that read and write effectively useless data, you’re just wearing it out that much faster.  Probably a good idea to back things up first before running a massive…

I can’t imagine stopping using something simply because I had to (gasp!) ask someone helping me to help me in the way I prefer. I use canvas bags all the time, but then again, I also bag everything myself, because I use the self-checkout. Because I’m anti-social, as if I needed to mention that.

At the very least employers should send rejection letters. I was strung along by a company for almost a month and interviewed four times with various parties, twice with the person who would make the hiring decision. They had me take a software skills quiz with a 24 hour deadline, do a telephone interview to get the…

My position is that I’ll thank the person who hires me, in person. The first time I heard of this thank you note nonsense was during the recession when employers could almost ask job candidates to donate blood if they wanted a chance at getting a job. Potential employees do not need to prostrate themselves for the…

I’ve been on both sides of the table on this one over the last 20yrs, as an interviewer and as an applicant, plus as an applicant who does/does not send thank you notes (I’ve worked with agencies that insist on doing so). My own take:

If it is expected to send a thank you note then it has no meaning. I'll take the person that doesn't send the meaningless, cliched thank you note. I'll use the actual interview to make my decisions. Stop being sheep people.

Counterpoint: who GAF?

This is largely BS advice when applying to big companies. The recruiter, interviewer and hiring committee are often different people. Sending a thank you note will not have any impact. Case might be a little different when applying to a small company.

And sometimes what makes it worse, is, at least for me personally, I don’t want to be a burden on people.
Like I know that I should reach out, but I know they have their own lives and what not, and I just leave them alone.
Delving further into my psyche, I also am too either detail oriented or paranoid where I notice…

Aimee travels a lot. She can’t be expected to know the Sausage King in every city.

YES to a roast chicken. You can eat it in sandwiches, in some soup, or gnaw on the carcass while standing over the sink.

Listen, I don’t know you and I don’t know when you are punching walls, but I want you to know this: even if YOU “know” you’d never hit a woman, if you are punching walls when you get angry and your partner is in the room, you are being fucking abusive and scary.  My ex used to punch walls when he got angry with me and…

“If it seems like I am picking and choosing the parts I like from this book here, it’s because I very much am.”

I’ve never seen even a single episode of This Is Us, because if I wanted to watch people enduring unspeakable sadness and tragedy, I would look out my fucking window or at the New York Times. The world is going totally to shit, I don’t have time or emotional energy to watch it happening in the fictional world as well.…
