It could also trigger a bar to entering the country for several years (or potentially obtaining any immigration benefit indefinitely ) if they believe you misrepresented your intentions when applying for the visa in the first place.

Employers generally can't get your salary history during a background check without your approval.

Always write DELETEs as SELECTs, and once you run the SELECT and it returns the rows you want, then swap out the SELECT * with a DELETE.

I took time off for interviews; typically a full day for onsites and half a day for phone tech screens. If they're open to early morning or evening phone screens, you could suggest that too. I would typically take the initial HR call

Your product likely already belongs exclusively to your employer. Review the terms of your employment contract; you almost certainly have an IP assignment clause in it, which may specify that anything done on company time, resources, or im

I would bet that someone told the engineers responsible for that site to avoid telling the user that Equifax might be liable for anything.

Sure, I wasn't arguing that they're mutually exclusive. I was referring to the way that e.g. Google would refer to "experienced" or "industry" candidates.

Big fan of Codility. They do have a lot of algorithmic questions as well, but they also have easy ones (which we use), and we tested them on our own staff prior to deploying (all then-current staff got perfect or nearly perfect). I would

Bigger software companies also typically require "experienced" candidates (read: not new grads) to pass a systems design interview, which is very subjective and typically fairly difficult. This essentially makes the bar for new g

Two guesses: 1. One part of the company isn't talking to the other. One person wrote the offer letter and another wrote the contract, or the contract is "standard" and hasn't been updated for your particular case. 2. Th

Curious about your reservations about Canadian-style single payer, where hospitals and doctors get reimbursed by the government but are otherwise independent. IMHO it's the best solution, but I acknowledge my own bias since I grew up

If you're going the IEM route, try out some tips from Comply ( http://www.complyfoam.com/ ), I find they get really good isolation. As far as the actual headphones, I currently have UE 900s IEMs which are serving me well

Sure, but a bouncer is another layer on top of your connection to the server, when architecturally it's much better to have the server manage that for you.

As an IRC, Slack, and Matrix user and netadmin, I will say that Slack and other nextgen chat services have a few advantages over IRC: - automatic backlog resumption - server stored pageable backlog - continuous presence (you don't disa

Agreed, I also bought an XPS 9360 and comparing it to Linux on my Macbook Pro, the difference is night and day. Everything is incredibly well supported on the XPS.

Before I answer this, let me frame my opinion: I very much want single payer in the United States, and were it plausible to do it on a state-by-state basis, I would support it. Apparently, states are unable to restrict entry into state bene

Ah, I was unfamiliar with criminal penalties for copyright infringement. Could you go ahead and link me to the relevant US Code text that provides for such penalties?

by Spoom 9y ago
The primary difference is that copyright infringement is a civil offense, not a criminal one, so nobody would be "going to prison".

Try posting your scenario to http://visajourney.com/ . They mostly focus on family class immigration, but you'll probably get more targeted replies there.

This is interesting; I wasn't aware of this particular ruling. That would make running a universal healthcare program on a state-by-state basis very difficult, if it in fact applied.

While it may not specifically be illegal in the US, it's certainly opening the interviewing company up to huge potential liability. All the interviewee would have to do would be to show that it's more likely than not that they we

Having used Linux desktop for roughly a decade, it's definitely gotten better. Almost every computer I install Linux on now has working drivers for everything, the vast majority working out of the box. Anecdata, of course, but that&#

I very much doubt that the people affected by point "a" above would consider them different.
