   It's not clear to me that the person who we talked to was not who he said he was. It's that the person who showed up was definitely not that person.

   I'm not sure how HR has handled it but within a few hours of him starting all of his access was revoked (email, slack, github, etc). I imagine HR fired him but I don't actually know what the official status is.

   In our case the issue was identified basically immediately. His access to our systems was revoked and we're in the process of trying to figure out how, if possible, we can get back the laptop we sent him. I'm not sure how pay will

   This comment is so confusing. You first seemed to take offense at the term "cryptocrap" but then here call crypto "pointless/destructive." Facebook is obviously mostly garbage these days (IMO) however I think it&#x2

   I love how "Hacker"News threads has evolved to the point of actively discouraging people from hacking.

   I have a 10 month old daughter. So far raising her has been an incredibly rewarding experience. My wife and I frequently find ourselves wanting a break. Even if for just a few hours. You can love something and want to dedicate your life to

    Years ago I interviewed somewhere that had a system like this. I was told ahead of time only to click the link when I was ready to sit down for two hours to do the work because the clock started then.

    You're right. And in this case "as they wish" is actually "as the US government wishes." I'm not sure they have a choice here.

    I'm with you a 100% on this. I was just providing what I thought was an explanation of the other person's point.

    I spent almost all of my career writing Ruby before I ended up at a company that required me to write mostly Kotlin (a bit of scala here and there too). After a few years of Kotlin I don't want to use anything else. There's a bit

    I'm not saying I agree with this but I think the point might be that what's happening now isn't completely out of the ordinary but we're being made to believe that it is.

    I never understand the arguments against high pay for professional athletes. They are largely union organized labor. Their pays is directly tied to how much money their league is bringing in in revenue (mostly TV deals). If they don't

    I don't think they're just implying it. They say in the post that it seems that Caldera's side hustle is getting in the way of doing her actual job.

    I selected the company I'm at because they offered me the highest salary of all the places I was interviewing. They also have a product in domain I'm very familiar with and are a size that would allow me to have a big impact on th

    I worked at walmart for a few years when I sort of lost my way in my mid 20s and I have to say it was an eye opening experience. Everyone knows a lot of the bad stuff about walmart so I wont dwell on that but the good stuff I saw were thing

    Last I used dokku my understanding was that it used Heroku's open source build packs. So it was very much your own hosted heroku. This was at least 7 years ago though.

    I dont understand the point of these blog posts. Is he trying to say this is how everyone should hire? Because if we all only hired based on "would I want this person to be my boss" or "is this person smarter than me" th
