I see parent’s general point being that some people work in p2p mode, whatever the medium is. Here facebook is the tool, but what matters to them is not to get random info through the feed. It’s to ask people and hear what people have to s

It's too long since I entered these contracts, is it loaned/leased ? Where I am the loan would be on the purchasing money, so technically you own the device, but would have to pay your carrier the remaining price + some penalty if

Relation between console makers and game studio is too different to directly trigger the same issues (Atlus wouldn’t sue Sony For instance). But the situation being almost the same, a ruling in one would trigger a tidal wave in the other. T

Why such a dichotomy between intrinsic and extrinsic when any situation is a mix of both ? We do our job to get money, but we won't do any job for that sole purpose. Kids learn chemistry because they are forced to, but they'll fin

It’s a bit offputting to have a site called “decisiondata” giving basically no info on their data retrieval procedure or caveats that should be applied on their methodology. We don’t know much about who they polled, when or how they polled

The point on RSI is too often overlooked. Beyond typing, it applies when considering any specific position or movement to be the only ‘correct’ form and optimize to do it again and again in that exact specific way. However correct it is sup

I think that's less on the format and more on the intent. For reports and what is traditionally viewed as "written form", reader is expected to have high tolerance for length and boilerplate. I see it as the pendant of the &q

The Golden Rule is too simple to be universal. We'd hate to be treated ourselves as we treat our kids, what helps someone could handicap others. We all have different modes of behaviour, included how we treat pain, harshness and trans

There is nothing positive coming from an aggressive situation anyway, but I’d wager the main issue is the reacting party is always getting hurt more than the other one. EU would ban Aussie wine only if the benefits overweights straight reci

I know in the good old days it was the way to go, and HR people are also more open to get external solicitation at any time, so I believe you when you say it works. I’d put on the table that I twice received direct contact from candidates a

If you’re applying by yourself, directly to the company, isn’t that your only way to push your resume ? Or do you go out of your way to find recruiting team’s email/phone number to hit them out of the system ?
346.
by hrktb 6y ago
Another issue I have is that any pre-written material is a very poor indicator, in particular when candidates are handled to us by a recruiting agent. Their resume is sometimes doctored up to a point it half of it doesn’t make sense, or at

This is a matter of scale more than disruption though. For instance Shimano crushed all other cycling equipment vendors in an unprecedented way, at a scale never see before and built a worldwide empire. But did Shimano’s entry fundamentally

But is it a disruption if they operate as a larger version of an already successful phenomenon ? I’d see how a service like Streetview would be seen as disruptive because of bringing a fringe fonctionnality to a mass market in a unprecedent

I don’t mind the downvotes, but would want some guidance. I don’t use facebook, so I’d genuinely want to know what it has disrupted in the way you live that the other SNS won’t do.

On Costco, it’s not a marketplace for third party sellers to ship to customers. Sure it’s closer to us to make analogies with traditional brands, but Amazon’s position is nothing similar. Then, the difference between business as usual and m

I read parent’s “bonkers” in a positive way. Then for instance most languages get away with inline optional typing by using “:” , for instance “ping_user(name: String)“. In ruby it’s of course already taken, in no small part because there a

Religious orgs can still do what they want, they just don’t get to use historical buildings willy-nilly. Then if we’re talking about the UK, it feels weird to argue about religious buildings ownership in a kingdom, where the Queen has a rel

Isn’t it because older tools never go away ? Newer tools only come as alternatives to faster tools that continue to be usable at any time. For instance I choose to use VSCode and consciously weight it down with plugins and extra linters, be

A solution to this is to give back the land to the local city and have it handled as cultural heritage, with an authorization to practice religious activities at specific times, but it’s governed by local administration overall. That’s how
