Oh - I may have missed a part of the post but the impression I got was that the resources / actions listed didn’t include the kind of accredited degrees which look good on a resume and that employers often care about. Like the online c

Why not? Are you saying you distrust the folks who were interviewed? Did you read the article? If so, what then was your take on it? [EDIT: um, also, I believe it is right and ethical to feel outrage about racism, so I appreciate journalism

Without commenting on what was fair or not for that girl, what I took away from The NY Times article about it was just how much racism was blithely floating around the school and the community.

Yeah. Chasing a dream for what the dream means to him as a fantasy of himself rather than what his authentic wants and needs are.

Aaaaand none of that matters when it comes to getting a job, except, maybe, for certain areas of software development. And yeah he prioritized avoiding debt the same way a hungry animal prioritizes avoiding starvation.

In a democracy, isn’t having an educated citizenry enough of a return? Or at the very least a significant factor? I’ll also throw in the idea (as an addition not a replacement to what you say) of national service in some form which isn’t mi

It’s not really an evidence kind of article .... no one is trying to “prove” anything. It’s a thought piece.

So the article addresses its own question and the answer is children’s stories require walking because it’s children and the suburbs aren’t generally walkable (or interestingly walkable) environments.

tl;dr No one knew they were cops - no neighbors, no one. Then they did things wrong, panicked, and blasted the apartment to pieces. Oh yeah, and then they just let her bleed to death.

I’m confused what the difference is. The lockdowns are a response to the pandemic. If you’re suggesting the lockdowns are unnecessary or poorly managed that seems like a different discussion than this. And if we want to cast blame I persona

That sounds reasonable and way different than like going around the circle and peer-pressuring everyone into delivering a compliment and then clapping as a group.

IMHO: It’s appropriate for a manager or team lead to do this. It’s not appropriate to make it the norm (even if it’s “optional”) for the whole team. Much better for a leader to model the desired behavior, and, create space for those on the

Love your comment man! Appreciate it. And I agree with you about Smiley's People. Ha, Soderbergh's Tarkovsky I have never seen - sounds like I should. You're probably right about filmic - I was just looking for the word that

You don’t hire a developer just because they can say some jargon. They need to show proof of skill, either through code of theirs you can see, the interview process, whatever. Similarly, business people don’t take shit like this seriously u

How many nights of bad sleep, vs months of conflict or being in court and tens of thousands of dollars for lawyers? It’s a calculation. And it’s not a binary fight-or-flight situation. There’s room to maneuver - legal maneuvers, speaking wi

Sure. It may be unethical and so on. But. If it’s not a negotiation, what is it? And, how does OP assess their position, possible outcomes, and decide what cost is worth it? How many months of ones life or tens of thousands of bucks is it w

How much in lawyers fees do you want to pay to fuck a cake? Point being, as others have said, it’s essentially a negotiation. Not a war. Plus, I guess if the guy really could fuck the cake that gives him leverage and a negotiating position.

IANAL or a founder but it seems to me the #1 thing to do is hire a good lawyer and listen to their advice.

Parent posters point is that the battle for control will end up being so toxic it will fuck the cake. Which seems like a valid concern.
