I'm pretty sure it's an EEO violation to request ID or a photo before hiring.

"Similarly, employers should not ask for a photograph of an applicant. If needed for identification purposes, a photograph may be obtained after an offer of employment is made and accepted."

Then how do Zoom meetings not violate this law? You’re literally receiving a stream of photos of the applicant before hiring them.

Sue every company and make that your business model

Check out EEOC enforcement actions and settlements, its better than the news

This does not seem relevant when you're already on a video call. The prohibition on requesting photographs is to prevent otherwise unknown information about their race/gender/etc.

If you give more money to the incompetent agency, yes.

In the uk its trivial to replace a plate. What would you do if it falls off? Over here i've seen number plates written by hand on a white card.

The UK has extremely detailed and demanding standards for number plates: https://www.bnma.org/advice-centre/the-new-rules-british-sta...

But you can choose from many different suppliers.

Here in the US, you have to get them from the DMV, but the legibility requirements are so low. The backgrounds, narrow font, and minimal reflectivity all make them much worse than those in the UK and Europe.

(Lack of enforcement is also a problem: I lived in the UK for ~10x the time I've lived in the US, but in the US I've seen ~10x as many cars with missing numberplates.

Those aren't legal, although you can probably get away with them for a while.

Couldn't disagree more. The biggest innovation that SpaceX has brought to the table is the reusable nature of their platform, both reducing operation cost AND in reducing R&D costs. I believe one of the biggest contributors to the lack of space exploration and exploitation was the astronomical (pun totally intended) cost of both developing and operating the platforms to get us there. If this helps fix that, blow some stuff up!

There are, but the people aren't necessarily where the jobs are. I've got positions in Huntsville, AL that aren't remote-capable, and we cannot get people to even apply.

Do you publicly display your pay (range)?

For a while it was fashionable to tell people who were having a hard time finding work that they needed to move. I'm wondering if people are so tolerant of suggesting it the other direction, so:

Have you considered moving?

That’s the thing, with this labor market businesses might start opening new locations or moving. I see that happening with hardware startups.

Can you share some of the job listings?

Video games and certain movie composers. Ramin Djawadi, Bear McCreary, and Howard Zimmer are on almost constant repeat for me.

Nope, I'm in Alabama, where I cannot get more than 30 days supply at a time, and must meet monthly with a psychiatrist in an area where almost no doctors are taking new patients, and even once you're an existing patient, appointments can be impossible to get. It can take me weeks just to get a call back from my doctor's office. Supply is regularly interrupted, and it can take weeks to get a prescription refilled.

Excuse me, sir. Kindly get out of my head, thank you. :)
