The big problem with modernization of gig work by these companies is that they're screwing of the gig workers by inserting themselves in the middle and fucking over everybody else involved.

For example: Town car services existed for years before Uber came to the scene. Before Uber you'd have to call a town car service that may be a single person operation, or a small group of people getting together and hiring a calling service.

The idea of the modern, centralized, gig services is not a terrible idea in itself. But running that as a capitalist business is terrible. This is one of those things that should be required to be a government service or a non-profit.

I WFH for a company where we're regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I'm already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.

That's just us. There's plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.

10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it's there.

Your anecdotes != data.

I live in the USA. I use the process I've described on my resume. I've also just landed a new job and started within the last month. When sending out resumes on my latest job search I had a 90% response rate, all for jobs I'd actually like to work at. The job I accepted was after the recruiter that reviewed my resume reached out to me to tell me the role I applied for had been filled but that they had another role that I'd be a fit for in the process of being written and wanted to get the ball rolling so I could be at the front of the interview process for it.

I'd say it's "standard" because people were poorly trained on what to put on their resumes starting in high school and even college. I even used the "standard" before and struggled to land interviews early in my career. It wasn't until about 15 years ago that I did a deep dive into resume writing and job searching techniques that I completely overhauled my resume and started actually getting call-backs/emails and interviews that would eventually wind up in landing jobs that I actually wanted.

Just because something is "standard" doesn't mean it's what we should be doing, or is the right way. The job market has changed over the years and ATSs reviewing resumes meant that people had to figure out how to get past those systems 20 years ago. As LLMs have been added to ATSs it's only gotten harder to get past the initial gate with a resume drop.

A Kagi search for "resume accomplishments vs duties" will give you a plethora of sources discussing this from job seekers, HR professionals, recruiters, and even some university research.

Those are amateur numbers...

Listing your successes, metrics, and accomplishments will drive home your actual work duties and capabilities.

If you're listing the following, you've failed in writing a solid entry to tell me that you're a bugfix and data import wizard:

• Utilized Jira to fix bugs.
• Used company import tools to move data between systems.

Instead, you could write entries like:

• Took ownership and closed x bug tickets over y months which was z% over the organizational goal.
• Created and documented a Workflow to speed up the process of importing data by x%, making me the go to person for company data imports.

I'm not saying to lie or embellish either. I'm saying that you need to think about how you market your skills for sale as a service. If I'm looking for somebody with those skills, the latter two bullet points are going to stand out a far lot better than the former.

Don't forget, outright removing a UI for modifying settings forcing users to use registry mods, potentially a PS command, or a third party tool to force the behavior you lost from a simple setting removal.

You don't need to lie on your resume for it to stand out and be impressive.

First, stop listing "duties" and generalized things for the role. As somebody that's done a few hundred interviews, I quickly bin those resumes. I have a good understanding of what a related role's duties are that would make you qualified for a role I'm interviewing for.

Your goal in a resume is to show the hiring team of what you can provide to the team/company if you are brought on board.

What you should do is keep track of you work successes and KPIs and periodically update your resume with those successes and metrics for that role. Got a top performer review status, log it. Increased sales for the department by some % for the year, log it. Delivered a highly complex & valuable project, log it.

If you do the above, I can have a good understanding of what you're actually capable of and how you utilize the skills you have within a role.

Rubber begins to degrade after 3-7 years depending on the compounds. Even if stored in ideal conditions to slow the degrading, you're only going to give it marginally more life.

Degraded tires risk side-wall blow outs and let will easily let through sharp debris (sticks, thorns, glass, sharp rocks) causing far more maintenance needs.

That's not to say bikes aren't beneficial and there's ways to get around this (stuff the tire with leaves, foam core [also has limited life span], etc), but it is something to be aware of.

This all reminds me... I need to replace the tires on my good weather bike.

This is a hostile and political attack!

Yes, and? Welcome to politics!

Also, Amazon can go fuck off. Their corporate overlords pushed for Trump and are now just trying to stop the Jaguars from eating their faces.

Lol. The bot broke mid-summary and started summarizing an unrelated issues.

Having stayed in a high rise hotel and taking a shower while forgetting to close the curtains, I can tell you, there's a certain feeling of power that comes from standing naked in a window 47 floors above everybody else below you.
