It may be interesting to check archive.org for old job openings. For instance, this one at RIPE NCC, in Amsterdam, from 2006: http://web.archive.org/web/20070101144833/http://www.ripe.ne...

To be honest, I don't mind the karma much (as you can see, I don't have much, don't comment or post much, and mostly lurk around here). I only was curious that it didn't get any attention when I posted it yesterday, and I was wondering why

I think their stated reason is very much to be expected: they are a financial institution, their whole business model (and therefore mentality) is to act quickly to decrease risk. Makes perfect sense that they would take it down first and j

Well, good luck to them, both personally and in bringing it back soon. I only wish Trello hadn't tried to reload on its own, so I could still see the screen before the shutdown. Now all I have is a blank page :(

"If Google had done the proper investigation and canned the person, I would never have said a word about them." I don't get this. The faults you mention here and elsewhere (closed allocation, lousy managers, unfairly rating expectations, 20

I have huge respect for people who make this sort of call - deploy the parachute when it needs to be deployed, not when it would land him another record. Like mountaineers who turn back before reaching the summit, because they know that get

In that same vein, I like Gever Tulley's "5 dangerous things you should let your kids do" TED Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/gever_tulley_on_5_dangerous_things_... Kids should definitely be allowed to play with fire.
