Here's the real question, do you trust Uber to do this (or really anything) the right way, or do you think they'll take whatever shortcuts they can? If someone finds a huge bug in the code and says, "Well, we need to complete

I don't completely disagree, but if these clinics are anything like the "nutritional supplement" racket (e.g. mannatech and others like them), then there's no informed consent. There's a lot of lies and promises abo

While this is a personal feeling and I don't have any data (metrics) to back it up: I think a large percentage (and probably a majority) of metrics don't end up helping a company once they are created - especially if any salary or

To save everyone else the trouble, it means "meal with items selected by the chef". e.g. Screw User Feedback. I say this as someone who hasn't used Basecamp, so I don't really have an opinion there.

If I were you I wouldn't worry about doing anything about the code being on Github. You need a lawyer to get the money you're owed, and then find another job. As far as the bank goes: this is what they get when they outsource thei

So let's say the minimum is $130k. That means you could hire an American for $90k (or even less depending on experience) and spend $20k training them and still come out ahead. For a lot of jobs that I've seen H1B's doing at t

I can confirm that. Live in the US, work for a giant company. I make very good money, but someone in management just 2 levels above me (e.g. my boss's boss) makes over 2x what I make. There's no way most of those people contribute

High as compared to other jobs. If the demand for programmers is "1,000" and there are "100" programmers available - how is that different from demand of "100" interpreters but supply is "10"?

If the supply of those interpreters is so limited that you have to go outside of the U.S. to find them, then doesn't supply /demand indicate that they should have a high salary?
