Speech is meaningless if it has zero consequences. Freedom of speech isn't absolute. I don't necessarily think freedom of speech should necessarily be the most important consideration if other important values are involved.

I don't remember it that way. He did say the US deserved 9-11, and called people who worked in the World Trade Center "little Eichmanns". But his essay was kind of ignored until 2005. Then CU Boulder investigated him for acad

There are a ton of stories about incredibly successful people in the entertainment industry who end up bankrupt. Sure, that comes along with stories of wasting money. But it seems like the ones who make the most money are both lucky and rea

Details are kind of beside the point. Like you mentioned he could have had several trading strategies. He also could have changed his mind based on insider information. That's why I believe it would be much better to require politician

I haven't done either. I'd imagine it would be extremely difficult though. There was a semester where I was working full time and going to school part time. Overall I thought it was a good decision. I had a well-paying job as a so

Levels aren't standardized in industry, but they are inside a company. They impact pay bands and other things. IC1 sounds like it's for new grads. Junior doesn't seem to be a popular title in the bay area. One or two are prob

Have you applied to Amazon? Talking with recruiters who've left it sounded like Amazon incentives were different than other places. So internal recruiters spend more time contacting people already in their system. Sometimes not even do

Discovering that I misunderstood the seriousness of an issue is more stressful than being told something explicitly. And a major misunderstanding decreases trust. It would be much better to explicitly be told I'm on a pre-PIP plan than

I second the price question. I might not be the target customer in this case. But I'm not sure how a professionally designed interior is a good option for saving money. I'm cheap, so my first choice is looking for quality used fur

I'm not saying Google makes horrible offers, but I'm not sure how their recruiters marketing matches up with their internal calculations of target comp. I have read complaints on blind that Google is using it to show higher first

I'm not convinced. A salary drop from a cliff isn't great, but cliffs are overall good for employees. A front loaded offer arrives at that even comp by baking future stock growth into the offer. A normal four year equity grant arr

Really? I'm surprised. My employer just removed cliffs for new offers, it does seem to becoming more popular. But my assumption is the cliff is something I couldn't easily negotiate as an individual.

One option is shucking a high capacity external. Those are more likely to be high quality. Some are rebranded enterprise drives. But the hd model isn't guaranteed, and warranty support might be iffy.

He was accused of making bath salts, and he was reported to be involved with prostitutes and much younger women. His reported statements seem to confirm that, not deny that. I probably won't describe someone as evil for committing vict

> we're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty. The legal system should presume innocence. It's completely reasonable for people have lower standards for assuming guilt.

No, the best outcome would have been a trial with a fair outcome. But he went down to South America, started making drugs, and got accused of rape and murder. The legal system should assume innocence before trial, though in my personal opin

I misspoke and used cliff as the length of the grant instead of when it started vesting. Short cliffs are good, some companies are starting to vest equity grants immediately. I haven't heard of a two year cliff. Some companies are also

I'm not sure about an increased risk of lawsuits, though worse promotion outcomes is a bad answer for other reasons. That sounds like remote employees are less productive than on-site employees. I don't think companies would want

I'm not sure how you can claim all work was done during off hours with ten full-time jobs. If OP got caught he could have some very expensive legal problems.
