Sure, he could certainly say that posting about this was an instance of a lack of discretion (hopefully not on quora itself), but that isn't what he said and what he DID say would certainly be a bit of the pot calling the kettle black

I'll grant you that it showed poor judgment if he really thought he could stay anonymous. That said, I disagree with basically everything else. I think you're reading way too much into that. Where you work will have an impact on

The worst part of that answer was edited out. He had "(n.b. -- we are revoking the questioner's offer to work at Zenefits)." Which is a reasonable thing to do, I guess, if you feel the person isn't all that interested in

A buddy of mine did this in his '70 Karmann Ghia, which, even if the door was locked, was easy to break into with a belt through the window that didn't roll all the way. Someone still broke the window and tried to steal the broken

While I agree with your general point -- that rehabilitation isn't determinable at sentencing -- I'd still make the argument that focusing on rehabilitation with no other change in the system would lead to more positive outcomes t

I'm a former Get Sat employee (I left about two months ago). While the company may have done that early on, we definitely did NOT continue that at any point when I was there. There were a few communities like that we still kept up beca

Some companies are already doing that. True Fit is the one I've seen when shopping for an Arc'teryx jacket. I think I've seen it elsewhere, but I couldn't tell you where. It wasn't particularly accurate, in my exper

The current grades are more a snapshot of history than the physical limits of humanity, IMO. Like the 4 minute mile, once one person did it, you saw several people after that able to do it. In the golden years of Yose, 5.12 was this crazy t

Not to mention that the definition becomes more loose when it comes to huge projects like this. One of the claimed free ascents of the Nose involved top roping two of the hardest pitches. Most people consider that a free ascent, even though

There's a difference between knowing "I can use this" and "I can let you use this." Even if he was up to speed on his use of various bits of software, that doesn't mean he was fully aware of whether or not he

As a climber, I don't see how the design constraint of it wearable makes it any more useful. It being reasonably small and lightweight (and robust) would be nice for me to actually carry it with me regularly, but I don't want it

I wonder if they picked that name ironically. Sherpas are probably best known for being porters and guides for Mt. Everest, a mountain that many in the mountaineering community consider to be, now, a playground for the rich.

I think it's reasonable to ask vapers around you to take it elsewhere if it bothers you. Similarly, if someone is wearing a very strong perfume that bothers you, take it up with them. As a vaper, I'll generally ask first before va

Judging by the recruiter spam I get, it's not entirely true that SV companies are not looking outside SV for employees -- it's just that they expect them to move to SF to work for their company. About 90% of the recruiter spam I g

One thing I'd say that's missing is the rough amount of time it takes to ship. I was looking at getting one of these for my GF for her birthday (she has a box full of used up notebooks in her garage, so this sounds perfect for her

Fair enough, but at the lowest income levels every cent counts. I don't see any benefit in it. Isn't that directly contradicting the point you made earlier? If every cent counts at the lower level, then even earning 90 cents on

Assuming the hijackers weren't already in the cockpit. It seems to me that the most likely people taking control of the plane in the situation stipulated were the people already in control of the plane when it left the ground.

I don't have any particular insight into it, so I don't know. I imagine TWC does, though, but I don't know how keen they would be in sharing that.

Define "normal." If you let your rate increase after your promotional period ends, then yes, but it only takes one phone call to retention to get that back down.

My roommate works in retention at TWC. GP can definitely call and get that cut quite significantly. GP may not even have to threaten to leave -- just ask them to see if any promotions are available for that area. If they don't or don&#

I was watching Freakonomics the other day (well, part of it, anyway), and they were talking about how the Japanese police will only really investigate crimes when they have a clear chance of getting a conviction. Take that as you will, but

Also worth noting that most of the modern super-cars don't even have a true manual (that is, a stick-shift and a user-operated clutch). They're mostly electronically controlled dual-clutch setups since a computer can shift faster

The best I've found are with Ally -- 0.85% for a MM account and 0.25% for a checking account. Still pretty meaningless, which is why, despite banking with Ally, I keep a sizable amount of my money in Betterment.

I'm fairly certain I know which company you're talking about (check the profile -- we have a friend in common who worked there), and I get the feeling that, given their notoriety, they are the exception rather than the rule. If th
