They pay more in the Bay area. Once you get out of the Bay area the pay goes down. Facebook even said if you telecommute they'll take into consideration where you live and pay you based on that.
And if you look at the class disparity we have in the United States, the middle class is almost completely gone now.
last year I drove from Nashville to Miami. passed by many small villages. middle class is still there. maybe you should get outside of the city to see it yourself.
I know on iOS you can just block any calls from contacts that are not in your list. It's pretty easy. My phone just won't ring. They'll be sent to voice mail instead. In my voice mail greeting, it says that I won't listen to the voice mail, and if they're trying to get in touch with me, hang up and text me.
Yeah, that is great that iOS did that! They released that last summer I think.
There are times that you do want anyone to call you, or you don't even want unknown callers to leave a voicemail.
My friend's mother would freak out with every little thing always, including the voicemails from robotic voices saying their SSN will be invalid unless they call back at some weird number.
So my friend got the app on her mother's phone and set it to the strictest mode, and her mom hasn't freaked out anymore. This only works because she uses her phone for talking with family members and a few doctor offices.
I'm a big fan of kitboga, he's got a twitch and youtube channel. The scammers constantly ask for gift cards. It's amazing to listen to, especially when you think about the vulnerable segments of our population who fall for these scams.
There's websites where you can buy "used" gift cards and I wonder how many of these are cards from scammers that are now turning them over for cash.
I much prefer driving over sitting in traffic. One thing I noticed with Waze is that it would route me way out in the middle of nowhere to my location vs sitting in traffic. It was kind of interesting to see some of these back roads, I'll admit. I did learn some good alternate routes that I would sometimes just use on my own because I knew the freeway was going to be a parking lot.
I mostly use apple maps now with car play which is fine. After we moved my commute went from ~20-45 minutes to ~12 minutes so Waze really isn't a necessity anymore. :/
Can you trust reddit, though? There's plenty of social media campaigns out there that have people plugging stuff on reddit to promote some company or agenda.
Reddit is very useful for niche results that are normally functionally impossible to find any information on at all. If that is not the case, it's not really the shilling that's the biggest trouble, it is that people on Reddit have just become a cross-slice of regular society now. That means that when they answer questions about anything that even remotely requires domain knowledge, you can be entirely certain that they will be wrong in ways that you do not expect.
Try it and see. It’s good for fixing many problems that relate to coding too, but are of the type closed on Stack Overflow. Sure, the problem is basic, but when I’m stuck a ‘duplicate closed’ is unhelpful.
Blatant spam, yes, but if it’s like what’s being discussed here I’d be hesitant that it goes much better than amazon reviews. It’s just too easy to create fake accounts and you don’t need to be that smart to avoid telegraphing this.
Yes but at least Reddit has downvoting. I still take the results with a grain of salt, but most times the Reddit user points you in the right direction.
