I don't think you understand the difference between "acquaintanceship" and "friendship". If you don't genuinely like someone you're acquainted with, you're not being a friend when you pretend you do.

Well, the article also quotes someone saying the aging reversal so far has seemed to be permanent, somehow "resetting gene expression". if it works more than the one time, potential immortality?

Lol feel better now that baby made a boom boom? Surprise: people read things that are hard/irritating to read when they're supposed to contain good lessons. Sometimes even more than once. Case in point: the bible. You're a wa

You're probably right that he believes his own lies. The type of people to exclaim "I've never done anything wrong in my entire life" (as Scarcella does in the article) are usually the biggest buyers of their own bullshi

My personal variant has always been "learning to code is easy, you just have to be okay with feeling completely stupid for a while until it clicks." It's a way to encourage while being up front with the amount of time and men

Yeah, and the "slippery slope" argument is called a fallacy for a reason.

THIS! I'm shocked to see so few comments discussing the amount of mental overhead syntax highlighting helps you avoid. Without syntax highlighting, I have to keep the contextual meaning of every character I read in state mentally, and

This is the best pithy response to this argument I've seen, thanks. Can't wait to bust it out next time.

Nobody is disputing that Twitter can do whatever it wants, in fact that's exactly the point that (GG)GP is making - why should Twitter have a responsibility to anyone to do anything about hate speech on its site? The author of the link

It's surely free speech to write articles suggesting free speech be curtailed. It's also free speech to disagree with censorship. What's your point? (GP didn't seem to be expressing an issue with the article having been

"childish" != "infantilizing". Cute whimsical silly graphics are fun. Feeling like I've walked into a padded room/kindergarten when I hit their homepage due to the visual/copy combination is not fun.

A statement made that leaves out pertinent information in order to suggest a different conclusion than would be reached with the information is an implicitly false statement. Logic is fun, kids.

I understand the reasons why the company would choose to do it. My argument is that they are fixing the wrong problem - and to be honest, could likely be making it worse. If so many unqualified candidates are making it to the phone screen

by gingerrr 11y ago
Using a coding test as the initial barrier to even a phone screen is what I have a severe problem with. I think coding tests absolutely have their place - after a 30m high-level skillcheck over the phone, let's ask for a brief 30-45m t

I'm not sure the lack of an explanation from the company really means anything here. Most companies, especially the more risk-averse, will not tell you why you were let go unless there are clearly-documented performance milestones that
