It's not beside the point-- when I vape, there is no nicotine, it is literally a human smoke machine. Your anti-nicotine crusade is attacking people who aren't using nicotine, without making the distinction.

It's worth noting that Diactyl is seen in the e-cig community as bad for glass atomizers and so there is significant market pressure not to use flavorings that use it. (And warnings about flavorings that do.) I've already seen se

I've worked for two of those, beat one in the market, and have a low regard of the quality of engineering at the other two... so yeah, low quality companies. Or at least low quality hiring processes. One problem that seems pervasive o

Sorry, I think google is incompetently run. That they whiteboard, and want prestigious degrees, and all that other BS is just a smell of their incompetence. (Their performance in key technical areas is the proof... but I understand to most

"of whom can most, disproportionately bully others with their micro pain" That reminds me a great deal of the situation at the "Twentieth Century Motor Corporation" in Atlas Shrugged, when the workers were paid according

Part of the philosophy of libertarianism is the idea that if you allow people to cooperate (eg: build a community) they will advance faster... and looking at what happened in China and India when those countries legalized capitalism, the li

It's not a "Tech company thing" it's a "junior engineer who doesn't know how to interview" thing. It is an indicator of a low quality company. Seriously. This is my opinion after 25 years of interviews

by MCRed 11y ago
IF they have you write code, think twice about taking the job. That's an indicator of a junior engineer conducting an interview in a company that didn't care enough to work out a good process. Seriously. I've been working for

I suggest only doing interviews in the evening via phone. (not video. I've been discriminated against by video, but never by phone.) Do this in the evening. If the job is in your town and you feel its reasonable to meet them in per

We need to move on from NASA anyway. As a government organization it is always going to be somewhat capricious and compromised by the needs of politics (eg: part of the reason the Space Shuttle was so expensive is that it was spread out all

Also, the entire leftist movement uses a homophobic slur to refer to members of the Tea Party: "Teabaggers". I guess they don't care when they're mad about republicans that they show their true feelings about gay people

For the record, in the 1980s I started a campus liberal organization that eventually went nation wide. The Progressive Student Network. Our positions were totally in favor of free speech and totally defending "offensive speech" i

How do you find Puerto Rico? I spent two years in Chile, and it was really nice, love the people, the visas are good, but there's a lot of bureaucracy and its hard to import stuff.

Weren't you guys in Startup Chile? I swear you've been getting play out of the "we relocated to Morocco" story for years-- not a criticism, good on ya!

Your argument that the victims were drug dealers has several problems that I can see: 1. Presumption of accuracy Just because the cops claim that the money is "Drug money" doesn't make it so. As a victim of asset forfeiture

That's %65 of the amount that would otherwise have potentially gone to pay liabilities to the people wronged. Instead of going to the victims of those accidents or that fraud, it went to the government. This is the amazing thing about

I think you're misidentifying the "System". It's the elections process that made you think Obama was a good guy (and made republicans think Bush and Cheney were good guys). The "system" is what makes us think

We may or may not solve it with engineering, but one thing I've become increasingly certain of is we won't solve it by convincing others it's broken. For decades Freedom of Speech was sacrosanct, and now we have a whole gene

> There are always drugs when property is seized this way. Nope. Several years ago the FBI stole $6M in Platinum, Gold and Silver. Some of the theft was of protected political speech-- literally copper & silver pieces with Ron Paul

Biden is one of the architects of these abuses, and the Democrats elected him vice president-- twice. Plenty of blame to go around.

Treble damages is not enough. The police and everyone involved in the seizure belongs in jail for the term appropriate under Grand Theft statutes. Though I think there is a case that since they are government officials, the sentences should
