OK, let me ask some questions to calibrate your set up and see where you're coming from. 1. What is the width in inches of your display and how many pixels. 2. How many inches from your eyes to the screen in a normal working position? 3. Is

Yes, exactly so. And the company's HR department will interpret the lack of response as: "The screening worked, yet another incompetent guy never replied since obviously the only reason someone wouldn't beg and do tricks is because they are

I forgot to mention, regarding taxes you may be able to take unpaid bills as deductions, they are business losses. So be sure to mention this to your accountant.

Aside from the article itself, I am confused by the title. Are they meaning to call themselves a "design legend"? I have not heard of them. Also, their blog site layout is quite flawed. The text hits the left edge of the page at 1000px wi

Thomas, yes, what you mention is a problem. I have had quite a few job interviews that were free consultations. It's real painful when you have to fly out on your own dime for this, something I no longer will do at all. If the company can't

Call them every day and politely but firmly ask how it is going. In California, in addition to the check crime, theft of property or services above $950 is "Grand Theft". Also post his name and a scan of the check and the contract on the in

You may have misunderstood my comment. It's not about having a brand. It's about having a professional reputation. Professionals who are of the "excellent" caliber that this service purports to represent usually develop a professional reput

A computer program automatically torturing applicants with endless puzzle tests is not a way to find talented qualified people with experience delivering working results that delight the user. It's a good way to find people that have a lot

Yeah, I think so. So now you have to wire your house with a wired network, and when you want to watch TV or use your computer you have to turn the lights in all the rooms on.

I suppose at night someone could pick this up if there is a window in the room being used, but this is no different than normal wifi which can be picked up outside the house. More of the problem is that it doesn't work room to room, only li

I think you can go from one to the other. Start by leaving work at 5 after 8 hrs work each day, no matter what. Don't bring work home. Don't think about work while at home. Don't carry a notebook around to work outside the office.

There's nothing at all combative in what I said. If you see it as such, the problem is with the way you relate to people. If someone asks me today specifically for the most recent three things I have invented, I am not going to lie in my an

The use of the word "scam" is really inaccurate based on the rest of the post. He agrees that the demo is real, and calls it a scam since others are working on similar things and they are trying to get funding. Neither others working on the

> please describe the three most recent things you have invented The "most recent" qualifier makes this a short answer, which would be: Of the last three of my inventions, two are trade secrets and the third has not completed the patent

Good point. I am skeptical that listening to why they are crying is a major contributor to a high quality education.

It's really strange how we are told by these articles that the reason to worry about all this is "competitiveness on the world market", yet the bottom 10% will never contribute anything to this and can be safely ignored completely. It's irr

International comparative test scores seem kind of irrelevant. What seems to be important are the contributions of a small number of members of a society, who are either beaten into submission of forced conformity, or allowed to flourish.

Thanks for the warning. To be fair, even big "companies" like yelp.com have been running extortion rackets for years and are still the darlings of the technical press.

I haven't watched all of those RSA videos but I've seen quite a few. It's amazing how every one I have seen is outlandish propaganda that it seems no one would fall for, yet I stand completely alone in this viewpoint.

Mmmm, the actual amount isn't all that relevant to the argument. But as far as "comfortable living" goes, the average $90,000 salary in Silicon Valley, minus the high California tax burden, does not provide "comfortable living" when a run d

All right. That is a very good question to bring up. Rules like those described are not as straightforward to understand to ordinary people as they may seem to the experimenter. I had to read it a couple times to understand that the idea wa

The "excellent studies", which engineering management uses to claim that low salaries, but enough to survive, are optimal, are a crock. Where are the top CEOs making just enough to survive? Here is the flaw. If you are properly compensated

It's very interesting that he had the exact same experience and was given the run around by AirBnB. His story also shows that they are not being completely truthful when they said EJ's case was the first time anything like this had happened

That would only, even theoretically, be a possible approach to explore if you had questions that you knew this group of people were exactly as likely to lie about as killing protected leopards. How could one know which questions these would
