To me it's a particularly intriguing move because Cortana's story wasn't a happy one. I know that most of the people aware of that fact also won't be fazed by it (if you've played that much Halo, you can probably d

Although the general point about lawsuits stands, it's worth being aware that the McDonald's suit isn't actually a fantastic example of frivolous lawsuits. By the time the famous lawsuit came through there had been several h

This is my core concern also. pg says that hopefully traffic will be high enough that you won't even see a delay - that's logic that only holds true for the front page. Further down, comments won't come through for large am

What's your general field? B2B, especially for big industries, tends to call for networking and possibly cold calls. Individual sales tends to call for advertising with a focus on high relevance sites. Social or two-sided markets (t

The site owners discussing how no one took them up on their subscription services seem to miss a significant point: their sites aren't worth anything like what they're charging to most users. $25 for an annual site subscription i

Thoughts, in order: "Good for the Nest gu... wait, how much?! And good for them to decide that even with a functional business they had to take it."

This movie seems a lot more like character assassination than either fictionalized storytelling or documentary. It's not as though the Wikileaks story lacks drama, moral ambiguity, or a couple of clear villains when told accurately.

I have trouble believing that there's anyone this is of use to. Is there really a significant group of people who are wasting time pretending to work when they could genuinely choose to just go home? It was my understanding that sitt

Before saying that your health is unlikely to suffer from a few years of banking hours, look at the sidebar in this exact article. It notes that four years of banking tends to produce chronic pain, auto-immune disease, and depression among

This was my first reaction. It's disconcerting to see in a nontechnical document, but for all that these leaks disturb me, "adversary" amounts to no more than "the people who might be trying to find out what you're

I've never believed in the argument that silence is as bad as active complicity, but I think it's particularly untrue here. The impression I came away with was the the most likely outcome of challenging this decision is a quick d

I have heard (second hand, but from people who work directly with Berkeley staff) that least in physics their issues are this severe. Required courses are being made biannual and filling completely so that students with bad luck lose even

This is what through me off most - I assume he means that you'll be dropped from the class and is just trying to ramp up the fear factor even farther.

I'm slightly embarrassed to say that didn't even occur to me, but yes. It makes the interview experience helpful for something other than more interviews.

In addition to the people overtly saying this makes you a no-hire, it's almost impossible not to use this even if you try. Someone smooth and mistake-less will make a better impression on you, and like with most fallacies, you're

For me this part about preparation is the hidden value of this approach. For most interviewees the interview isn't a 2 hour process, it's far more time spent in potentially-irrelevant preparation. It seems like companies might a

There are always more jobs, but not always of equal desirability. Knowing that this company is the only one in the perfect location, on a project that fascinates you is about as high-stakes as it gets.

I think your estimate of interviews as a "medium stress situation" is somewhat simplified and personal. Interviews push you into completely unfamiliar territory, in which you're simultaneously trying to solve context-free pr

>Seems like a poor choice of filter I'm not convinced that this is true. Poor hiring doesn't mean that the company does other things wrong, but hiring determines what kind of people work at the company. Running into a hiring

This is very true, and I think it's worth noting that there are few circumstances where you have less basis for confidence than an interview. You're inherently conforming to someone else's workflow and being asked to respond

This is a crucial distinction. Disagreeing with someone is valuable. Being argumentative isn't about accuracy, it's about ego and self-assertion. If the person you're talking to can't be persuaded, the solution is to

There might be an interview trick in there... Don't have a nice enough outfit? Grab a $5 cast or sling and use it to excuse your lack of suit, say it'll be off in a week.

I've had good luck bonding with interviewers over this approach. Questions like "So what brought you to company X?" and "What do you do in a typical day, what do you like most about that?" create a personal connect
