I agree that Java is widely adopted (thus my 'ubiquitous' comment). The fact that the commenter followed-up immediately with "some of its most painful points have been addressed in Java 8" led me to believe it was referr

I wouldn't say that Java is extremely popular by any stretch. It's ubiquitous, but people aren't falling over themselves to become Java programmers anymore. I'd say Java is much less popular than it used to be (and I&#x2

This is one of those where the mods need to retitle it. The content has nothing to do with employability. It mentions a few big companies and some obscure startups, but not related to employability whatsoever without a stretch.

I'd disagree that in-person networking is superior for most. Many are much more comfortable making those positive first impressions online because they are less comfortable in face-to-face settings. Thankfully, by the time they are req

Most of the things baited and switched probably wouldn't be required to be put in writing or not, because they aren't legally binding anyway. Even if the legally binding things are put in writing, usually we're talking about

In my experience the biggest retention issue is for an employer to deliver what was promised during the hiring process. Employers that are competing for talent are known to paint the picture of how they see their ideal instead of how things

I wrote a longer reply that you may not have read yet (just posted a few minutes ago). I thought the spirit of the question was more to an irregular immune system and not just specifically a weakened one. Allergies are not indicative of a

I was on mobile for my first response, but I do want to address your comments. This whole thing got started when I replied to a comment you made stating "A weakened immune system is not a condition you can really have without realizing

I won't call you a fascist. We're nitpicking here. An allergic reaction is obviously not a good reaction to a vaccine, not a desired outcome. Whether an allergy is a result of a compromised immune system (the immune system isn&#x2

First, I'm not a doctor, and people should consult doctors for medical advice. Do I get to pose random questions without research? I can only assume you were referring to my question "how much do we know about whether a newborn ha

Actually, how much do we know about whether a newborn has a compromised immune system or not? As an adult, we may know our medical history and immunity, either through testing or anecdotal evidence. However, we are talking here about newbo

In my opinion, what is driving the vaccine schedule is a combination of things based on various motives. One motive is to help children. Another motive is profit, and yet another is politically driven. The connection between the vaccine mak

Whether or not you call that 'consultation time' is splitting hairs.

On the day you are born, we know the least about you. Maybe you have a pre-existing condition that will be revealed in weeks to come. One of the few known vaccine court payouts went to a young girl named Hannah Poling, who had a mitochondri

Agreed. But I think part if this is necessity based. When going overseas you are often given shots for things that are less likely found in the US. It's not impossible to catch those diseases in the US, but the costs or risks of vacci

Ok. If I had an egg allergy and went to a doctor who simply decided to roll up my sleeve and stick me, I would likely have an adverse reaction. If the doctor took one minute to speak to me about any allergies, I'd likely not get stuck

To some people, it means that they probably don't feel a Hep vaccine is necessary on the date of birth or perhaps even for longer, because the parents will control the infant's environment. If you are taking your baby home, contro

I may be misinterpreting your comment, but you aren't suggesting we should give every available vaccine at the same time to a newborn, or are you? That practice isn't condoned by the CDC and thinking that might be worse (due to s

I was simply stating one example of what is often considered a rushed vaccine, again due to exposure levels for infants. Using your logic, it seems we could vaccinate all babies on day one with every single vaccine available, even for disea

I wasn't the commenter, but as to vaccines being 'rushed', I'd imagine that most people feel a Hep vaccine for a 1 day old is probably not necessary due to the exposure a newborn simply wouldn't have to the virus. T

Is there a source for that? Someone in this thread mentioned things like egg allergies as a source for vaccine complications, and it isn't hard to imagine that increased consultation time (over no consultation at all) would result in

When you ask how much time doctors 'have' to spend with each patient, I assume you are using have as in 'how much time do they possess' and not 'are required to spend'. Assuming you are using the former (mainl

I can't imagine any doctor would sign any type of document for liability. There is a special court that has heard vaccine injury claims ( http://www.nvic.org/injury-compensation.aspx ) for almost 30 years in the US, so

Sure, but if you were aware that your public git repos would be up for discussion in an interview, you might go back and switch some things up, no? At least a handful of times, I know that the repo that would be discussed was referenced be

I think this is the key question. Using the absence of a GitHub profile to dismiss candidates is one thing, but using the presence of a strong GitHub as a positive is a different story.

When you say 'Screening based on a GitHub account', I think it's important to differentiate whether we are screening out those that don't have activity or moving those that do to the front of the line. There is a differ

Recruiter here. I've seen GitHub used in interviews where the interviewer may look at the code before the interview, and then bring up the repo during the interview to discuss it. This is usually to challenge why certain decisions we
