For the relatively uninvolved individuals who were shot, yes, the blame is on the angry woman who shot them. For YouTube as an organization - not an individual - whose corporate base was the target of a violent act? I do blame the overall

A company is not a person, and cannot be a victim of an incident like this. Especially when corporate policies directly incited the attack.

Well, perhaps they should consider the morality of their employers' actions then. If everyone who considered working at Alphabet/Google/YouTube lived by 'Don't Be Evil', either the company would have less emplo

Every time we've said "when video card prices start to drop", we've seen about 3 months of drop, and then the companies come out with some new thing that increases the prices yet again.

You know, it's really funny. People keep complaining about things like Flash hanging their browser, or how "slow" Firefox was. I never experienced those problems and I don't understand why or how anyone else did. I mean

Well, if they hadn't given in to WebDRM, WebAssembly, and the rest of it, and had stayed with the pre-Australis Firefox, developing that in logical directions for a web browser, not a do-everything-program, it would have been good. Th

I want one answer here: Have you done this? Did they pay you? Otherwise, why are you trying to shop it around here? This is a nice idea, but until there is proof, it belongs on Medium and other platforms as a theory, not a website purportin

You'd be right if you're only worrying about STAB attacks and pure defense, sure. Admittedly, Bug has a lot of weaknesses and is a lower-tier element in general, realistically what you want to do is have something resistant to Wa

I'd ask what each team member is passionate about. Then ask them what they feel they need a manager to do in order to help them do more of that.

If I was the one asking the question, I would avoid using the word "argument", in all honest. It would be more like, "Tell me about a situation where you and your manager disagreed. How did you work to resolve it?" Arg

To be honest, I first learned about using spreadsheets because my mother worked in insurance - not as an actuary but as one of the people under the actuarial department. Lotus 1-2-3 was the norm not only for that office but the industry.

Having been on the recruiter side, it's very simple why we regularly ask behavioral questions. It's because we want to make sure your behavior is appropriate. As you said, communication is a necessary skill. Even in a world where

I'm not disagreeing with you, but at the same time, I don't think that likely the first place to release a major government leak is on YouTube or Reddit. There will always be some platform that's "freer" than some

So YouTube and Reddit are again saying that they're not okay with potentially illegal conduct on their platform. The only difference is that this time they're being much more direct and specific.

I hate the new F-Droid interface, honestly, and had to delete it and download an older version. Then again, I also use KISS Launcher, and I despise "tile" displays of any kind. Just give me text.

In programming this is absolutely correct - but when it's for a management role, you can't just ask for some kind of work sample of a management decision. You have to go based on anecdotes and references. You do usually need to

It does seem that way, especially when you're on the outside of the decision. When you're trying to find one hire out of thousands, something as minor as a slightly unusually formatted resume can be enough reason to make a no-go d

All joking aside, most of the hiring I've been part of has been as a third-party recruiter. I was that guy who trawled LinkedIn for keywords and only sent out InMail if I couldn't find your email and phone number elsewhere. I wa

Let's start with the obvious - do you have your job offer and your start date for your new position? Based on everything about that job, will you prefer it to your current work? If you don't have an offer letter and a start date

Donate it to a local high school; preferably in an urban district. You'll have just saved at least one student (probably more) about $100.
