As you get closer to career endgame, future prospects are worth less. But on the other hand personal network is more important. On the gripping hand, taking current, good opportunities becomes more important. You don't have decades left to make up for lost time. Stack money now.
Whatever you do, don't screw over your competent coworkers. That is where good prospects almost always come from.
PHBs with insane asymmetrical expectations about loyalty? Fuck em right in the ear.
Use his/her language against him. Remember last time a project schedule shifted under you like an 8.0 earthquake? The words shithead used to tell you, use them to tell him you're not going to be able to keep your promise.
There is some bridge burning going on. But as long as you already have something better lined up, fuck em.
K-12 doesn't prepare a student for STEM college coursework by default. Students have to seek out the coursework, that's been true forever. If less schools offer STEM track coursework, less students will be ready for the material. Everybody learns better when younger, there is no making up for not having programmed computers for fun in your early and mid teens, so there is no 'making up for it later' possible.
You would think the net would be an equalizer, but it appears to not be working.
I've noticed that classic rock stations start playing a band's catalog very heavily a week to a month before the band announces a new tour or album.
You think there is no money changing hands? Whenever their is a new Stones or Eagles (just for example) thing happening, you know it before it's announced, because all the clear channel classic rock stations are burning them up. The classic rock catalog is a mile deep, but somehow the same songs are played day after day after day.
In the 1950s they made it illegal to pay DJs to play music. A day later the job of 'program director' was invented. It has never been illegal to pay a program director to play music.
No barriers to entry. Uber will never be able to cash out, the second they try, Lyft (or some other local version) undercuts them.
The fact drivers can work on all these services simultaneously, means they will drive for the service with the highest payments while customers hire the service with lowest rates.
Traditional taxis came up with a legalistic definition of taxi. For hire cars that can be hailed on the street.
A hailing app (especially one that works better than physically sticking you hand in the air) breaks the old regulatory model. Uber's aren't taxis, because of how taxi is legally defined.
Which still doesn't make Uber a particularly valuable company. It's still a competitive business and is going to have tight margins by its nature.
It all comes down to options vest date. If you options won't vest till after the company is sure to be dead and gone, their is no more bet to be made. Strike price matters too, but if you aren't going to get near to vesting for another 3 years, and you know it's a house of cards run by clowns? (I don't know this, just supposing.)
Best bet might be to move along in a nice orderly fashion, before Uber becomes a resume stain.
All you need is two, you could find a second for just about any position. Especially around vitamin C in the 1980s. It was like anti-vax for a minute or ten. Real science was drowned out on public media like google search. You'd have to get to page 2 before getting to credible information. Happens today.
Six figures ain't much in the city these days. But senior people _do_ leave because they see trainwrecks coming, sometimes they are right, sometimes they're just butt hurt over something else and being stupid.
If you're working someplace and all the most senior operations people 'step back to spend more time with family' at the same time. Get ready, cause shit is coming.
The best time to look for a job is when you have one.
FYI Linus Pauling, laureate in physics and chemistry, spent the last 20 years of his life proselytizing that vitamin C was a cure for what ailed you. He was convinced he'd get a 3rd Nobel in medicine when he was finally proven correct.
Even brilliant scientists sometimes go off half cocked in their later years. When somebody's mind had a fine edge, but it's been lost, they rarely notice and just keep talking.
Be fair, there aren't going to be more than a few banks operating on Tor. They will likely be operating bitCoin to real cash services, be somewhat less law abiding than average and charge exorbitant fees.
At least a decent sized minority part of government would actually be for taking those banks down, with exceptions of course.

The wages of sin are death, but after they take out taxes, all you get is a tired feeling.

Girls do just as well as boys in math until they get tits.
It's ether hormonal or they realize that with tits, they can get men to do the hard work for them.
It wasn't Milo or his supporters that got shot in Washington state ether. That was some black block 'ANTIFA' fascist. Too bad he didn't die.
Dude, make the promises. Don't necessarily keep them.
They turned into French flags decades ago.

A lot of them were 'cute', they actually have a way through, usually just one. Now everybody knows where it is.
But you do have a point, it's dead ends with HOAs, or grid roads and freedom, for the most part.
I've seen a grid road neighborhood association metastasize into a HOA in everything but name.
Radio plays are paid for by the record companies.

Far too coherent, seem somewhat rational. No, you are not.

How is he supposed to know if they ride Harleys?
At least Basic didn't have calculated gotos. 'Goto linenumber' where linenumber is an int. I've seen it _used_ in FORTRAN.
Like a pointer, only much uglier.
It's so they can include natural dirty water, Malaria and other parasite deaths in the number and make a nice inflammatory headline.
I thought Qbits was a fancy term for the # of cats involved. My bad.

Poached? Does your boss own you? Have special rights?
Servile weasel.
That wasn't new, in fact they changed nothing while running ads claiming it was 'better now'.
