You may not be in their market (yet), but that company is going to make a lot of money if they execute well.

Not a user of Octopart, but a fan of them and their story ... congrats to them!

Agree with OP's argument or not, but practically the entire post is spent answering that question directly.

So you ask clients to give Gigster equity? Also, would love to hear more about your pricing generally.

Especially love to see someone who actually experienced communism first-hand make the parallel with progressives' behavior. There's not much of a parallel. Calling on game makers to make more diverse games is the essence of free

You're basically claiming that the details of this service can't possibly be relevant because effectively nobody ever uses these sorts of recruiting services. Yet another strawman. We haven't even gotten to the details ye

[The idea that the pool of applicants for any given job is largely a function of the people who've already been hired] makes no sense. You don't seem to be familiar with how hiring works. Referrals are a thing, for instance. Job

When that logic is run in the other direction, the courts smack it down. "We weren't discriminating against race, we just happened to use $CRITERION that effectively discriminated against race." Does it really change its for

This is a pretty big deal, even if just for the fact that this plus Lambda eliminates fixed costs. Rather than running an API server 24/7, you can write your API as a set of functions that cost you money only when they're actually

So no further correction on my apparent misunderstanding of EEO and the malevolent racism that is the Rooney Rule? None needed. I refuted you with the very first thing I said; the Rooney Rule isn't a hiring preference. Yet you'v

I'd love to see this study replicated, only instead of "proprietary (expensive?) product", it was just 40% of your daily caloric intake.... in soylent. Why? Soylent's just another proprietary product.

But I'd be racist for pointing that out, wouldn't I? Hey, you said it, not me.

As mentioned, this is illegal per EEO, take it up with the courts. No. The NFL has been using the Rooney Rule for quite some time. Otherwise they weren't being systematically ignored for consideration. You keep using EEO in your ar

The Rooney Rule works when the hiring team complies with it in good faith. Running the "real" process without any minority candidates and then throwing a patsy in at the end isn't good faith.

The Rooney Rule isn't a preference. It's a way to ensure that classes of applicants who have been systematically excluded from consideration are being considered at some reasonable rate. It does nothing to make a hiring process an
