You have very poor reading comprehension skills, or else you appended your comment to the wrong post. Almost no part of what you're saying corresponds to anything that I said. PS: Giving some solid advice to public-facing startups look

When I put a picture of myself that had the contrast turned up my picture was rated "godlike", when I put in the original picture it was rated "hot", and when I turned down the contrast some it was rated "ok."

In what way does that sound dysfunctional? It definitely functioned, it just had very different goals and priorities.

No idea why you got downvoted. The author of the article definitely agrees with the basic thrust of you argument, although maybe not your speculation in the parentheses. If you look at arab militaries as existing in-of and for themselves, t

Yes, yes, and yes, you nailed it. The author of the article seems to have difficulty separating "problems specific to WebSockets" and "specific problems I have." People who say "REST is dead, AJAX is dead, HTTP head

Absolutely, there's always a balance between "voice" and "exit" options when it comes to organizations in need of reform. If you've been there awhile and feel like your voice just isn't being heard, exit i

I appreciate your honesty, but I definitely would not want to work in a company where that was the prevailing attitude, nor would I hire someone who took that as their MO. It's a pragmatic policy for each individual, but it also leads

Good shout on the glassdoor reviews, it's amazing how even the most rudimentary internet searching seems to elude journalists! Also, can this be our last Theranos thread before the company officially implodes? I get no small amount of

Yeah, I just re-read your original post and realized you're probably not a native speaker of english (or were writing in a hurry on a phone), my apologies! Theranos is catching a lot of flak right now because they claim to be a company

So your question isn't "what's going on here?" but "why do so many people want to know what's going on here?" Is Theranos holding open tryouts for their PR department or something?

Yes, when I see NKVD/KGB/FSB officers in full uniform, I think of nothing but good deeds and altruism. ..the criminal underbelly of a society is usually a small-scale reaction to the crimes officially sanctioned by the state.

Every "language comparison" between dominant ones and less popular ones (even implicitly) ends up being a little contrived, which is unfortunate because in general Clojure is the real deal.

But until Wes told them, they had no evidence that Wes was accessing the data! Or are you saying that they did have evidence, but chose to take a "wait and see" approach to someone gaining control of their entire platform?
