Who are you to say they don't understand their own business process and culture well enough to determine that remote employees aren't a fit for them? I've worked with several remote team members, and it's always been frustrating. Why aren'

I've often wondered why so few companies make a concerted effort to seek out talent rather than credentials. Have most companies not realized that the two aren't directly related? Are they too lazy? Do they have no confidence in the ability

My reaction while reading most of this was "Why didn't any of you try harder to let someone know? Why didn't you email everyone? Why didn't you call all the people you emailed? Wasn't there ANYONE important who would listen!?" After readi

What would I recommend learning? - C - Prolog - Erlang (I'm biased) - Smalltalk - Javascript - Hakell / ML /OCaml - LISP/Scheme/Clojure A couple of years should be enough (PER LANGUAGE).

His felony wouldn't be a big deal for employers who would potentially be sending him into people's homes on a regular basis? I have to strongly disagree with that one.

If I remember correctly, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T have all settled class-action lawsuits regarding their locked down handsets after consumers claimed it was anti-competitive. 1 step forward, 10 steps backwards. How is this happening? &

Good point, I'd only glanced at the chart. Looks like the trees along the right have a half-life range of <10,000 to >1,000,000, even with nearly identical individual mass.

The title is pure linkbait, which is surprising for NPR. I guess that's the only way to get more clicks when the entire article boils down to "Large plants/animals live longer, on average (except humans)". Thanks, we hadn't already noticed.

My point was that PACER documents are not inherently useful to the public -- edited to make that more clear. Several people have already pointed out that there are also malicious uses for this data that could negatively impact normal people

I hate to rock the bandwagon, but this will accomplish nothing and it's pretty tactless. As rayiner has already pointed out, PACER is a source of court documents, not case law. 99% of the public would have no use for PACER documents even if

True, but it's just one example of a bigger point. I.e. stop pinching pennies and aim for larger savings or gains instead. Swizec posted the name of the guy who wrote the article I was thinking of, Ramit Sethi. Here's one where he talks a l

Another typical story of hard work and persistence with the word "hack" thrown into the title for linkbait. Congrats on making it to CES, but this is not news, nor is it relevant or interesting.

Great, now I have even more reason to stop tagging friends, like fewer things, tighten my privacy restrictions, and tell friends to stop tagging me or checking me in to places. I have no interest in my personal info being used for their sea
