  • What technology would you give to ancient people just to fuck with them?

    Jump

  • Something with gears. Like a cranked egg whisk. Huge amounts of science went into this, but all of it should be replicable in a few generations of experiment with even bronze working. And it should inspire inventors of the age too

  • what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?

    Jump

  • So you can likely earn in another role. The key is to make them believe that you chose to be here, rather than anywhere else. And that may involve lying because management don't want to hear it's because of your short commute and relatively easy workload. But, maybe you are there because you think that they are doing good work in whatever field? Maybe they do offer you great experience for your career. Maybe you do have a great team?

    And maybe you don't. In which case it is platitudes time, tell them what they want to hear and volunteer for things more. But also, maybe time to get that CV brushed up too?

  • Firefox would be better off without Mozilla at this stage. The donations mozilla receives from individuals supporting firefox would pay for a large dev team easily. Google is a total red-herring and this money is spraffed on exec pay afaict, and they should be ending this today, as has been said by many other people
