It wasn't winding stuff down. Marissa Meyer was tasked with spinning off the website business and protecting the Ali Baba holding for investors. Meyer did her job exactly as she was supposed to, and this criticism placed on her ignore

Being cognizant of unconscious bias doesn't make someone a bad interviewer, in fact, it makes for the opposite. It sounds like you've had some combative interviews in the past (it sucks - I've had them too) but that's no

You're being downvoted but I've had the same experience as well. They bias interviews that are supposed to be performance based. Resumes are a carefully crafted signal paper targeted at getting past an algorithm, recruiter, and i

Obesity is not an independent variable - socialized healthcare does a better job of controlling obesity with preventative health measures. As it is now in the U.S., patients only go to medical professionals when there is a problem, making

This is true in a vaccuum. Unfortunately when you look at the history of the U.S., it's the corporations that have taken the burden of providing for U.S. workers. Other developed nations have their government supporting it's cit

The purpose of Fiber was to push Comcast, ATT, and other incumbents to start installing fiber internet, which they have. Same as how Fi is focused on pushing cell phone providers to lower data costs and provide pay as you go, which they h

Eh, Red Rising is a dystopia in that it is not equal for all, in that the low colors are essentially slaves. The author is a history buff, and describes his motivation for the society as looked back on mankind's history and seeing th

For the majority of the story, the fallen-empire setting of the ring is dystopian. Earth itself is a utopia, which bores the main character and is their motivation to explore the ring to begin with. So both? Even if they don't follo

Disney has Mandalorian . Amazon has The Expanse and recently picked up Ringworld for a tv-series too. Another unnamed network is supposedly currently considering Red Rising series as well. Sci-Fi dystopia is hot right now.

Precisely. I would argue that people are much less motivated to leave good reviews for employers than negative. If things are not going well, you're upset about your work, or you are looking for another job, then you are more likely t

My condolences. Steve Jobs had a neuroendocrine tumor though, which is much slower growing than the other types of pancreatic cancer and more treatable if caught early (which it was).
