It may sound crazy but I’ve seen something similar happen at a startup I used to work at. The founders (Muslim) very clearly preferred to hire people of similar backgrounds. All their recruiting efforts were focused on Muslims and they went

I'm with you. I may be an introvert but I'm actually quite social. The key for me is that I'm social on my own terms. Mandatory fun events and forced team bonding do nothing but alienate me from everyone else. The harder

I got suckered by this once and only once. What seemed to be a great environment and culture on the surface, with lots of good perks, ended up being the most toxic and dysfunctional workplace I've ever been at. I was completely miser

It’s actually a lot worse than that. For properties over $1 million CAD, you are required to put down a 20% deposit. I came across an article not long ago that it would take the average household 30+ years to save the necessary down payment

Surface Connect is a lot more than just MagSafe. It’s much more akin to thunderbolt with a magnetic plug. It combines power delivery and data transfer so you can power the laptop or plug in a full docking station using the same port. Sure i

In my experience Glassdoor doesn’t mean shit. The single most dysfunctional, toxic work environment I’ve ever been in had - and still has - a high (>4) rating on Glassdoor. I won’t get into details but I was miserable and left after two

It goes a lot further than that. I had a very brief stint at a company that looked good on the surface but was toxic as hell underneath. As part of my employment agreement I had to sign an NDA stating I could not discuss my compensation wit

They’re welcome to it. I cancelled recently after they notified me of yet another price increase. I was a subscriber for years and the price constantly went up while the quality went down. Disney+ is cheaper and surprisingly has more conten

> Have we lost sight of personal responsibility? How naive are people? How can you blame this on personal responsibility when you need a law degree to understand the terms and conditions? Like many here I am intelligent and educated and

You're right that streaming services have made things easier and more trustworthy. Some people are just cheap and don't want to pay when someone else can pay. I just tell him that he shouldn't pirate things because he doesn

> Paid e-mail addresses are not meaningless, but they're harder to justify in most people's eyes. It's not just paid email addresses. It's paid anything. My father constantly pesters me to tell him where he can get

I've never understood why people insist on writing articles detailing, "Why I'm switching away from X." If you don't like it then don't use it. There's no need to make a big deal out of it.

I use the Temporary Containers extension and it does much of what you're looking for. I have it set up so every tab is opened in a new container and the container gets deleted when the tab closes. So everything is kept separate from
