One of the scenarios they describe - hiring documents - strikes me as a VERY limited value proposition. I can’t imagine someone paying a lawyer to review their hiring documents more than once. All of the associated documents (offer letter,

I think "crashes" is a little bit sensationalist. They're down which is obviously not great but they're down by less than 10% at my time of writing. While it won't get as many upvotes this should probably be titled

Thanks! I also always felt like I was being ripped off by other companies too. The cost severely outweighed the value I received. With Zoom, I pay a lot for Zoom rooms but they are magical. Normal user accounts are affordable and they work.

Zoom charged us a fraction of what we paid other more traditional video conferencing companies (GoToMeeting, WebEx) and provided I think a better product in many regards. Not only that, they paid out our previous contract too (worth tens of

To answer your first point, you could argue that but the reality for Twitch is that they may not possess the bandwidth to build it themselves. That's not to say that they aren't smart enough, or don't have the money, or don&#

A practice we've implemented to manage this is tagging pull requests that have anything over 250 added (green) lines of code. Before anyone is willing to give you a code review, you have to justify why such a pull request requires so m

This takes such a short-sighted, illogical view of the underlying mechanics that tax expenditures and tax breaks rely on. In the case of SNAP, you are eligible for those benefits if you are below a certain % of the federal poverty limit (FP

This is what a PE (Private Equity) Firm basically does from my understanding. They are a company, that buys, (hopefully) improves, and then sells companies. For example, a PE Firm might have some expertise in mining. They hear about a compa

Ps. I don't know why I expect a better analysis from this article since it's in Slate...

Additionally, I don't like the percent increases on absolute numbers. I feel like some normalized data (either per capita, or per capita in specific metropolitan areas) would be very helpful. Ie. Fake example, The crime in San Francisc

I think the author's definition of homeless is a little bit facetious and it sounds like a humble brag. It's very different to be homeless because you ran your technology startup into the ground and another to be seriously challen

IDK how small your company is but I HIGHLY recommend switching to JustWorks. We were able to remove a lot of duplicated services by just using them. It's got a brilliant interface and is super user friendly for our employees. We simply

Would love to get a response to this. We are required to be HIPAA compliant and started out on Heroku. We basically only had a prototype built and didn't have any clients yet, so we didn't really care. After a weeks of paying for

Couldn't agree more. We built up a huge cucumber test suite and are now struggling to transfer it all over to RSpec with our unit specs. We were convinced we were doing it all wrong but after speaking with some of the developers at tho

I'm not a recruiter but we tried to hire someone who needed an H1-B/J1 visa and it was truly awful. We went through trying to make it work/expedite the process but there was nothing to be done. He was awarded the visa and we

I don't mean this sarcastically but what's wrong with quora? I've always found it to have pretty good content but your comment seems to be implying it's assumed to be a bad place to read things. Why?

They are pushing these agendas but unfortunately the standards are rather abysmal. "Meaningful Use" has become the butt of many jokes. HITECH is the preferred compliance framework for Healthcare companies but it takes dramatically

I haven't gotten 'investigation fees' (or at least not that I've noticed) but I would just not use them anyways for the very reason that they're so much less accessible than stripe.

If it wasn't so late I might get into it but I think this could be dramatically improved by just detecting whether a piece is currently underneath another piece. Assuming you can eliminate those as possible choices for the random selec

Couldn't agree more. I would also add that it's very unappealing due to the fact that I have to use a mouse/track pad at all, though clearly this was made with touch screens in mind. You add that I have to be quick about it t

You seem to find the idea of finding a "good reason" to be depressed a bad thing. I disagree. A lot of the skepticism around depression (and most mental health problems) stems from a lack of concrete knowledge about the cause and
