"Unlimited PTO". It sounds great until people realize how it actually works. There isn't anything to pay out or take, unfortunately.

Bonus points if you call everyone in the interview 'Ron' the whole time.

Well, it will be two ladies at this meeting so that will be interesting. I am only 10mins from the nearest river as well....

That would be nice. It is just a regular FTE position in an at-will employment state, so it's anyone's guess.

It was intentional, encrypted and before enterprise password managers were common place. The key was a riddle and actual key was never actually written down anywhere. I sure as fuck didn't trust our network, so I couldn't store them somewhere accessible.

I am fairly sure the drive got put in our evidence safe which was then shredded with the other drives that were in there. (The company I was working for got bought by a venture capital group and nothing original was sacred.)

Props for the prep advice.

If you have access to sensitive systems or passwords, put it in writing what you know and tell them they need to change those passwords now.

I am in security, so I know the logical reasons for that even though someone is sure to say that is bullshit.

However, I left a job once and encrypted all critical passwords I knew on a USB drive and gave it to my manager. For the password, I created a riddle that only he would know. I gave my old manager (he was cool) the USB drive and walked. After about a week, he was laid off for pure money reasons. So a month goes by and I get a frantic phone call one morning asking for all the passwords to some super important systems and I was kind enough to know they had pointlessly fired the only person who would of had access. (They had blindly destroyed his remaining equipment and paperwork, so they were gone.)

It's going to be over Zoom, so it would be missing the full effect. Still, I might be able to slap an outfit together and even 3D print a monocle...

Yeah, like many other people, I browse /all. Dudes post flooded my feed, basically.

Also, that account should be tagged as a bot. While some people may post this stuff manually, it seems kinda stupid to do so. I have no issues with bots unless they aren't tagged as such. (I tickles my OCD a little, I suppose.)

Meh, I just blocked OP and all is well.

Throttle your posts, for fucks sake.

A suburb north of Denver.

You are going to find a metric fuck-ton of political diversity in Colorado. While it somewhat follows a fairly standard pattern of cities being blue and the countryside being red, it gets much more complicated than that here. (The elevation and mass quantities of craft beer does strange things to a human after a time.)

Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

I am curious how that conclusion was formed as we have only recently discovered many new types of functional brain cells.

While I am not saying this is the case, that statement sounds like it was based on the "we only use 10% of our brain" myth, so that is why I am trying to get clarification.

Because beard.

Looks like we need to make one then. Dunno how much traction it will get but it's worth a shot.
