I've worked with at least 3 older IC software engineers (close to retirement age) and their experience has been invaluable in forseeing issues that younger people don't spot in advance due to limited experience. Also the breadth o

I was discussing what solders carry as a primary weapon but since you brought it up why don't "mass shooters" regularly use chemical weapons now instead? Could it be because they're regulated and not readily available to

So you're suggesting this is the main/only reason poison isn't the primary weapon provided to infantry for most military situations? Interesting.

Violence still happens but the magnitude would be reduced. It's a lot harder to kill people with things that aren't guns. If it was as easy then soldiers would primarily equipped with "knife, or acid, or poison, or fists&quot

This is a false dichotomy. Why do you have to focus on the "root issue"? What's wrong with dealing with a part of the problem? No complex problems get dealt with as a whole. They get broken in to pieces and dealt with using t

I genuinely question why people are so concerned if people use science to achieve better results at sports. It often seems like some kind of puritanical moral outrage over drugs. Edit: I understand the reasoning behind why testing is done.

The US is so far away from that I wouldn't worry too much. See original article. People often seem to hypothesise and focus on bad things that could happen at the expense of bad things that are happening. The is plenty of room in betwe

I think it's ok for big tech companies to do this (from their point of view) because they have an endless list of candidates and don't care too much if many good people are put off or fail. They will get good people through the sh

The point that is being made by the original post is that the process is bad in many companies especially when hiring senior engineers who have a proven track record and have other options. These engineers don't want to spend time and

Q. "Why is there a push to discredit this study, seemingly all of a sudden?" A. New evidence is available as stated clearly in the headline.

by hellllllllooo 8y ago
Agreed, but that wasn't what OP asked. It just seemed like an odd question given the headline explains that the reason this is being discussed is because there is new evidence available.

by hellllllllooo 8y ago
Who knows. The point is that what was reported isn't what happened so the original findings of the study are invalid and cannot be trusted. To answer your question you'd want to do a new study where your question and the methodolo
