> It was never used in real work

Does this mean I need to return all my paychecks from 2004 to 2007?

Are you talking about UberMedia? I used to work there!

This reminds of the internet classic VerizonMath: http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-...

Can one be nostalgic for articles like this? Every few years I see this linked and I read the whole thing every time.

Very much so. I can't believe it happened over 15 years ago!

Ha, never heard of this before. I had to hunt the audio down (found it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShv_74FNWU) but it was definitely worth it. Very funny! Thank you!

There's Emoji Mashup Bot+ - "Tries to create new emojis out of three random emoji parts"

Nice! A more "old-school" procgen-like approach, but that makes it all the more elegant in how effective it is in its simplicity

Page 16, from a review of the "Disposable" Commodore 64: "It works great, but it's not destined to become a family heirloom"

No computers of that era (or any era) are going to be heirlooms. The C64 shipped with a power supply that failed often and in a way that fried the computer.

RDU (between Raleigh and Durham, NC) has one: https://www.rdu.com/observation-park/

also conveniently the best spot to wait to pick up an arrival (as they like to keep traffic flowing outside the terminal)

While I was reading the article, this appeared in my inbox: https://i.imgur.com/FbaML9A.jpg

Retargeting? I did sell them an iPad mini a few months ago.

They probably saw that a New York Times article mentioned them and emailed their customer base to catch anyone who was reminded by the article.

This posting and the description both say remote, but the job description also says "Because we are a Minnesota-based company, we are currently limiting our search to Minnesota residents (or people willing to relocate there)."

You only hire remotely in Minnesota?

My apologies for not replying sooner!

That is our preference at the moment, yes. I know, it seems strange :)

We might be willing to hire outside for the right candidate, though, so if our team seems interesting to you, please apply!

I spent a few years running my own startup and helping get another startup going as one of the first employees (we went from 3 employees to almost 40). A lot of my time went into finding pricing for various services, which is a huge waste when there's so much to do at an early stage or growing startup. I didn't want to spend time on demos and phone calls just to find out it was out of my budget.

ClearPrice will let you know right way whether or not it's worth using that time talking to a salesperson or going through a demo. You'll also know if you're paying a fair price for the service you're getting by letting you see what other companies your size are paying.
