That can only work if you have a large number of available positions (typically, low-paid interns). In other cases, you have one position and try to hire the best candidate for it. Interviewing enough candidates takes some time, if only bec

Canadian French is very different from France's, be it the accent, the idioms, the vocabulary. As a native French speaker travelling in Montreal, I often found it easier to talk English with French speaking people, to my great shame. I

I work in a so called "Big Data" startup. We go to great extent to not have any kind of Personally Identifiable Information, because the liability is way too big. It really sucks when a client accidentally send us a list of their

I had a minor epiphany last week. I (instinctively) switched my stance from "hey we need to do something about climate change" to "I need to work to protect me and my family when shit hits the fan". Then it dawned me. I&

If I may ask, and you don't have to answer, what medical condition calls for stopping caffeine? I've read a few people (a lot here) who wrote the same thing.

That is one of the benefit of working for startups. It's easy to spin the story as "well, it's a startup, those things fail all the time. In the meantime, I learned $SO_MANY_THINGS because I had to wear so many caps.

So trivial that I can't really see what's there to abstract. It's literally a one liner in Python. [x for x in my_list if x % 2 == 0] + [x for x in my_list if x % 2 != 0]

What really kills me with Amazon is that, leaving outside of the US, I always tick the box for "Deliver in $COUNTRY", and regularly (95% of the time) find out at checkout time that no, in fact, this seller does not deliver in $COU

The idea that only in "the West" are insect not consumed is misleading. I've been living in "the East" for a decade now, and had to pull some connections to get crickets in Thailand, or water cockroaches in China. T

Sugar is not essential for the human body. There is no necessary carbohydrates, whereas you require some amount of fat and protein to survive. Consider humans surviving in cold area with literally no fruit except in Summer (at some extreme

Nope. The Opium wars and the subsequent status of the Kowloon Walled City are really cool stories. Funny to think that the fortunes of today's Hong Kong got rich selling drug. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_

Adding to that... You have illegal structure on many, many rooftops in the city (i.e.: slums). Those are very easy to spot, as there is always a higher tower being built from which to look down on those. They are rented, and despite being

That's a wrong argument. Sugar is three times less calorie dense than fat. (that's not an argument for sugar or against fat, just a fact).

Even though it doesn't matter. Freshly squeezed juice from your garden have about 114g of carbs / liter (of which 90g of sugar). Coke has 110g of carbs / liter (all sugar). Yes, coke has more sugar, but it's the same o

It's absolutely mind blowing that this article doesn't mention diabetes as the main problem from eating too much sugar. It affects a third of Americans and is spreading around the world at an alarming rate. Why is that? Why is i

I would say, that's because a few people ride them like they are super badass, blasting loud shitty music and going at indecent speed on the sidewalk (which is totally not badass). The one in the article are limited to 15mph, a colleag

I don't think this makes a lot of sense. Poverty line is defined as < 60% of median income. Median income in France is heavily influenced by the minimum wage income. As a consequence, anyone working part time will be considered unde
