First, I should warn you that I'm no expert! I'm not the most informed or up-to-date about discrimination in hiring. However, I'll try to provide some helpful links. First, depression. The correlation between unemployment and

I can do well enough on programming challenges at a place like HackerRank. However, I very rarely actually get to the technical interview in a job application; most commonly, I apply and don't hear back from the company. So as far as I

He got 14 interviews from 54 companies. As a candidate, that's better than what you can expect from Triplebyte, which apparently only interviews 1/6th of applicants (2000 interviewed out of the 12000 who have applied). http:&#x2F

Does Twitter have no right to freedom of speech, when there are alternatives to it? If they don't want to be associated with white nationalists, then why should they allow themselves to be?

So you need to pre-approve posts? It seems like this would only increase the "echo chamber" factor for the audience, since they'll only see whatever opinions the author chooses to present in the comments section. I also don&#

As an applicant there isn't a whole lot you can do if you think a company is discriminatory in some way (either because you're a minority or because you aren't). As a transgender individual, I've learned to pre-screen th
