zavulon commented on Ask HN: How to find a job in 2021 if I dislike remote? · Posted by u/throwawayfrmt

zavulon · 4 years ago

(shameless plug) I work at Yieldstreet. Our company is filled with people just like yourself. Our policy is 3 days a week from the office and 2 days remote, so obviously we tend to attract people who like working in an office - in person collaboration, grabbing lunch, etc.

We have engineering offices in NYC, Miami, Boston, Malta, and Brazil (Porto Alegre and Florianópolis). Many open engineering roles (recently raised a $150 million Series C) https://www.yieldstreet.com/careers/

> Mr. Tate said he thought frequently about the story [outing Tim Cook] afterward, and even wondered whether Mr. Cook’s parents had known about his identity before the report. “It’s something that gave me pause and that I thought about, but I would do it the same way again,” he said.

This right here tells you everything you need to know about Gawker and people that worked there.

Good idea.

Maybe put a Youtube video of the comedian's performance on the detail page, so we get a little preview?

zavulon commented on Ask HN: Books you read in 2018? · Posted by u/rwieruch

Non-fiction:

- Factfulness by Hans Rosling

- The War on Science by Shawn Otto

- Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell

- A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

- The Storm Before the Storm by Mike Duncan

- The Enigma of Reason by Hugo Mercier

Fiction:

- And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

- The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson

- The Magicians by Lev Grossman

The non-fiction books were all incredible and highly recommended. I especially appreciate The War on Science as it is highly relevant in today's polarized and emotional political climate.

The fiction books were good, for the most part. However, The Magicians might be the worst book I have ever read, not limited to fiction or fantasy. For more on that, ask.

I managed to read significantly more books this year due to joining an at-work book club, which has been very nice.

I thought I was the only one! The Magicians is by far the worst and least enjoyable book I’ve ever read, and I read ~ 100 books per year.
