Wow, 5.2 million games per day ! What a beautiful, inspiring project. I don’t know where the developer is based, but 50k salary is kinda low for running such a heavy site, isn’t it?

There are sites like stackshare.io Many of these are quite shallow content, but they should be good for a quick search

The article mentions they spend 25K to train an officer. Given that police departments have insane budgets, does 25K matter that much? How many intelligent officers leave solely because of boredom and their high IQ? Maybe a handful? The m

Chief People Officer in the list. To any young, fresh eyed college person taking up their first job - don't believe HR is your friend (as I did, when I started my career). They are not. It might seem silly to point out the obvious, bu

Why should this be a supply and demand issue? We are talking about human beings, not furniture! Shouldn’t there be a universal law that says “nobody should be employed for free, in any capacity, at any time”, to hell with supply and demand.

Is there anyone speaking against this, at the EU level? These youngsters should form a group and fight back. I’d have guessed this to be a thing in say U.K, but it is depressing to learn it happens even in the progressive Nordic countries

It is infuriating to read about “unpaid internship”. Why is this still a thing, in 2022? Even the White House interns aren’t paid until now. Why do even progressive countries like Denmark allow this? Insane

I am not saying cheating is fine, all I am saying is that it is not as rigid as rules in mathematics. If we are just talking in strict theoretical sense, sure, all cheating is bad. But life doesn't work that way. This is why we have co

Cheating is bad - this is an overly broad and generalized position, isn't it? Lets say the blogger had seen that n+1 question online somewhere or in a book (instead of hearing from his friend), before the interview. Is he obligated t

this is a hard decision that everyone, including upper management I call bullshit on the inclusion of "upper management". To think upper management cares about anything other than short term profits (and their own bonuses) is ju

I just read some of the clauses in my contract for a new job that I am starting (I am a "sub-contractor" here). The amount of legalese, the amount of one sided items there ... it is insane. It left me wondering if the lawyers that

I suspect the problem is that Google can't fully crawl stackoverflow/github etc. How is this possible, given their insane resources and expertise? If they can't crawl fast enough, can't they simply make a deal with Mic

If society, as a whole (or majority) decides such an aspect is ugly, then they can put a law in to outlaw it. It is good in theory, but does it work in practice though? For example, majority of the country supports $15 minimum wage, acces

I applied to a mega company on their careers website. In the first 24 hours, I got request for two surveys about their “hiring process”. The process hasn’t even started yet, other than the automated confirmation email that they got my appli

This is getting worse and worse. I have been asked my full SSN, passport number, graduate and postgraduate diplomas and the funniest of them all - COVID vaccination card, for a remote job. lol. 8 times out of 10, saying no to these ridiculo

If there is nothing shady going on, then why wouldn't they want to share these documents? Are these trade secrets or something similar?

I don't understand why investors don't ask for numbers that exclude bots. Or maybe they do, and we just don't hear about it? This isn't some unknown problem, right? Bots have been around forever and they are a problem in

A colleague of mine took up a second job, not because of money, but he (we) literally had nothing to do. Every day I’d ask my team lead, every day he’d say he’ll find some work for me. I thought it was unethical for my colleague to do two j

The CCPA (California's Privacy Law) permits a data broker to stop honoring an opt out after 12 months. Does this mean users have to keep opting out every 12 months? If yes, that sounds...dumb, isn't it? Maybe I am not understand
