I think it's a multifold problem and they've chosen bad solutions. 1. To protect ad revenue they make search results worse to increase the number of searches by making people refine their searches. This made people upset because s

I've had very few bad interviews, I've had very few interviews that didn't lead to offers, but I've declined a few. One was semi-recent and it was in in-person in-office interview but the CEO joined remotely. We chatted

I agree. I think when companies go bankrupt due to bubbles it's healthy for the economy at large. Capital gets redistributed to other employees and other companies that can build something valuable, and bad business people leave the ma

> I’m shocked by how careless everyone here is about their definitions, and their science. Sleep isn’t the same as HIV. I do not believe this analogy really confused you. No one is saying they're the same and you're well aware

SMaller business would find land already zoned for what they want. That makes it much less of a fight. These large companies find the land they want, then fight governments to allow the code and zoning changes to allow them to do what they

This is correct. It is not the government's job to raise our children. The more we ask the gov't to do that we should do, the less power we actually have. Some will say this ship has sailed, well, I say it's not too late to s

There are companies of a certain size that hold on to thousands of people they don't really need just so they can but them at a moment's notice to appease the stock market if bad news hits. It keeps talent out of their competitors
