Not really, this is the position middle america finds itself in. Different population groups retrain at different speeds.

Yes it does, all the time. Before Diabetes was a known condition, it was considered a mental disorder. Then diabetes became widely understood, but for a short time hypoglycemia was considered a mental disorder. Nowadays, hypo and hypergl

Who can't tell the difference between a 404 and a 500?

Yeah, its a mixed bag. I could make the test harder, so there's more you have to code, but I'm afraid I'll then filter out the more desirable candidates who have more than one test to do.

Perhaps its personal bias showing. When I've done assessments in the past, I've written more than the project required, then left notes in the code saying: "This likely isn't necessary, but this is a chance for me to sho

People who do well on the assessment tests almost always do well overall. Its very rare that someone does well on an assessment test, and then fails an interview. I don't think I've had it happen yet. Yes, that's most certa

I had two people this week, 10+ years "experience", fail at writing a function removing duplicate values from an array.

I call bullshit on this train of thought. I've been reading about this on HN and reddit for years now. This last December, I was promoted high enough, that I could design the entire interview process (with executive help) for my teams

Probably! But I don't know of em. I helped build a movement based organization a few years ago, someone saw us falling into the same trap, was around during the time of ActUp, and gave me a bunch of papers describing what I just rest

ActUp used to give managerial lessons for leftist organizations. Of the materials I saw, one of the things they used to teach was that a truly flat organization results in informal hierarchies developing, by the people most capable and&#x2

I am not a lawyer. But I'd be willing to guess that the difference is that you're a US citizen, attempting to get work wherever you can find it. While you're in that state, you abide by the laws of that state (you pay taxes

Accenture literally buses people over national and state borders, so yes, its possible. Somehow I don't think that's much more legal though.

Facebook is spying on your though. If you have the facebook app installed, try leaving it next to a spanish radio station for a number of hours. Supposedly you'll start seeing spanish ads pop up after a while.

H1B was just another way to outsource. The ran entire departments for some companies. And at those departments, the IT for would be a mix of people offshore and H1Bs that constantly rotated back and forth between the two countries.

Or here's a crazy idea, the democratic party can start actively addressing the real economic issues of the lower class directly, and ease up on social issues / identity politics. I really think that the American left (and I say th

As someone who worked at Accenture, I'm not sure how to prove it? It was literally the entire business model. It was made quite clear to me, as an American hire, that I was a white american face to slap onto projects to talk to clien

I love Ian's Culture series. He clearly had a good mind and knowledgeable experiences with technology, in order to write about it so capably. And just as interesting, he clearly had a solid, hands on understand of the liberal end of

I was taught in high school, that its basically the same here. Though with every election, the incoming politicians make a big deal of replacing various department heads. Its the main reason that government jobs are intended to be unioned

Okay, to someone just looking to get started in deep learning / ML, This post reads like hieroglyphics. Can you suggest resources I can read to better understand it?

Pretty much what you should expect from going 3rd party. 3rd party companies are going to make more money the larger, and more complicated the project. If there's little chance of return work, then they also make more money the buggie

I'm trying to switch off reddit like news sources. I've found longform.org to be amazing in the meanwhile. Strongly recommended.
