There is a quite interesting Amanda Knox documentary that she was very much involved in making on Netflix. If you want the, "saga" its worth a watch.

Great story. I think a lot of people would have a similar story if they cared to analyze their success a little more critically and be willing to give a little more credit to luck rather than their own efforts.

Because its not the same in the good old USA. We use it as an identifier but also as a security device. It's a bad system.

Yeah I wish we could do this. It just makes so much more sense.

Wait till you hear about SSN. Which were created specifically not to be used for identification.

If you are in a leadership position this is kind of a nightmare. If you are just an IC you're bolder than I. tbh my morning standup could be reduced to a sentence.

Nothing is wrong with that. Many, maybe most, people don't work on things they love and care deeply about so the idea of working 10+ hours straight sounds awful.

I don't really disagree with you post but what does it have to do with the article posted?

I think it's equally ridiculous to say that because someone's friendship is not like your, in person face to face interaction, friendship then its not real.

Sure. Could we spend that $20 billion better every four years? Absolutely. Would we? Not a chance.

My understanding is that the issue with declining population is that typically that also means an aging population. Younger people are not having children which causes a whole slew of issues.

Lot's of people. Just because you may not care about sports doesnt mean massive amounts of people around the world don't. Several countries will win their first gold this year. That's a national achievement. Several sports wi

Because their interview questions were silly?

by Taylor_OD 5y ago
That's actually not really true. You still have to interview. A referral or being recruited directly isnt a free pass. You'll probably get some additional prep but the person recruiting you cant just say let's make this perso

Damn. I've read the Hyperion books a dozen or more times over the past 10 years. I couldnt have pulled this quote out but remember it now that you brought it up. Do you have a great memory or have you read them a lot?

Take social media off your phone. Install a news feed blocker that forces you to toggle on the news feed for your site of choice when you want to scroll. That helped me cut my social media time from 1+ hour a day to less than 15 minutes.

This really depends. Are you talking about FANG+ type companies? Doesnt matter who you are you will probably have to whiteboard. Outside of FANG? I'm sure you can bypass many technicals with credentials.

I can dismiss making up numbers and conclusions based on no evidence. Just because you think something is true does not mean it is.

Do you have a lot of unwanted things in your twitter feed? Sure during major events some things creep into mine but it's rare that I get a lot of political talk because I don't follow that many people who tweet political things. Y

Sure. Toss them on the side or something. Just don't expect them to get brought up often. It shows you code outside of work which some employers value. Add a link to github if they are public.

I've got ADHD and 7 minutes of guided mediation in the mornings changed my life. I didnt believe it would when a doctor suggested it. But it did. I cant really explain it but I sure wish I knew about it earlier in my life.

I had this discussion with my team at one point. Most of them were fairly early career and believed they just needed a great idea. I believe the opposite. Ideas are cheap. Execution is very very hard. My example for a long time was that Net

I agree in our case but this wouldnt be universal. Life may thrive in very hot planets if their evolutionary track was different.

Yup. This is often why smaller companies are dominated by poor leaders as well. There may not be many that many other voices and the non assertive people realize they are not being valued and leave or they don't join to begin with. The
