There are probably tons of companies that fit this profile. I don't have any tricks for finding them, but you're going to have to do the research on companies including asking current employees. If they have a very rigorous interview process then you might want to skip that company.
I agree, looking at portraits he looks just fine. I wouldn't call him handsome but certainly not "ugly" or "grotesque". But it seems part of the impact of his appearance was due to his movements and his proportions, neither of which are going to be easy to discern from portraits. Take this image, for example. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Hans_Chr.... It could be his coat exaggerating his proportions, and maybe some amount of forced perspective, but I can begin to see that his hands are quite large, his head seems a bit small.
I don’t think _everyone_ gets an extra $1,000, just those at the bottom. I’m pretty sure there are different ways of implementing UBI, and some of them only provide a certain amount to the lower income folks. So if you are making plenty of money, whatever plenty means in your location and context, you would not receive any additional income.
UBI by definition is paid to everyone, regardless of their income. That's contrasted with GMI, guaranteed minimal income, which supplements your current income to some minimal level, which would work as you described
The point of it being universal is that you still have a good incentive to work, since every dollar earned is a dollar more in your pocket (initially, before you reach the income level where you need to pay taxes).
Compare that to non-universal social help, where every dollar earned gets subtracted from your social pay, so the first $1000 you earn are effectively taxed 100%, creating an incentive to not start working.
I've had cognitive decline over the past 6 years. I turn 41 this year. It's strongly (maybe solely) due to stress, anxiety, depression, migraines, and insomnia. This entire clusterfuck started 6 years ago because, while I had the skills to excel in school and career, I was sorely lacking in the skills to be a father, husband, and homeowner. When I got married and we began having children, my decline began. But it was slow enough and normal enough at first (new parents often don't get enough sleep, they often have extra stress and anxiety, etc) that I did nothing to combat it. It wasn't until 2021 with all the added awfulness of 18 months of a global pandemic that it become obvious things were unsustainable. I was barely able to function at work, I was being put on a PIP, and I was almost completely absent from my family. When I was with my family I was irritable, angry, constantly complaining.
I got on antidepressants and that helped, though it came with it's own set of problems. I started seeing counselors, reading self-help books, I went through 6 months of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), working with a neurologist to get migraines under control, seeking help wherever I could. It has been a slow process but I'm doing a lot better. I'm still nowhere near where I was cognitively. In fact I don't know that has improved much at all. And it's only been in the past year that I've began to understand my decline as a result of jumping into marriage, fatherhood, and home ownership without the necessary skills to handle them. I'm hopeful things will continue to improve, I've learned an enormous amount about life, fatherhood, marriage, love, forgiveness, hope, and priorities.
If you are a young parent, or considering being a parent soon, work on yourself. Ensure you have the skills you need or your life (and the lives of those near to you) will become a bag of utter despair filled with shit.
Hey. I also fell through the cracks during the pandemic, laid off at the height of the hiring market, but unable and unwilling to go back, developed tinnitus (gone, phew!), had cognitive issues too that really took a lot of time to improve, and I'm only in my 30s.
But it got better, and I'm in a better place now. It felt like I'd never get there; always tiny improvements but not quite there. Last year I finally felt the burnout gone. I stopped being so cynical. My life was better already, but still my mind was not quite there yet.
Now just this year I've rekindled my curiosity, using my free time again for little projects, not leaving piles of unfinished stuff around the house, it's something that's even noticeable from the outside - the little things.
So now, moving forward, I take it easy, forgive myself, try again and don't subject myself to unattainable benchmarks.
Hey I think you might be me, this is basically me in most respects. I have nothing helpful to say except to say yeah, this is a real thing that I think many people are silently suffering through right now, 5-ish years post-pandemic.
Those are my thoughts, as well, about using a 3-ring binder. That's helpful for me to hear them come from someone else to help validate. That post you linked is exactly what started my current round of thinking about this. I have thought about it before but I'm more serious now than before
I have a large e-ink tablet, not the reMarkable itself but similar. It is a step in the right direction for me but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!
If I print documentation I'm going to do it with my home printer and use a 3-ring binder so I think the cost should be do-able. I haven't specced it out exactly but paper is cheap and toner is... cheaper than paying someone else :shrug:

Thanks for sharing! This project has "automatic URL editing", which is something I'd like to add my app. Great to learn that there is a real product with this feature.
OP here.
A few of you have asked why we made these problems free. The answer is twofold, simple, and maybe even a bit underwhelming:
1) We want people to read the book (To wit, we've also made 9 chapters of the book free: http://bctci.co/free-chapters)
2) We want people to use interviewing.io
In my career, I've written a lot of stuff about hiring, and I've shared a lot of interview-related materials (e.g., full length interview replays). I hate paywalls for content, and you probably do too... and I have never regretted making it free. In my experience, putting good stuff out there is the best way to market to an eng audience.
I’m not familiar with that and I’ve been a heavy Internet user since the mid 90s, first on Windows, then Linux starting in 2007, then macOS starting in 2012
