The appearance of a meritocracy is necessary so that people don't get discouraged and stop working hard. Almost every large organization acts as if things are fair, otherwise morale would plummet.

In the US, those people are called tools.

Then it's not a stretch then to say all workplace romances between staff members and the people under them are coercive.

FYI that response insinuates that noname120 is not a C programmer...

Weird, I thought I was overtly insinuating that. It did happen the week after a 4+ year serious relationship ended, after all.

Better to be single than with someone who would throw away a serious relationship for some flings. At the very least be thankful she had the decency to end things with you first.

Experts have been telling us to avoid Twitter/Facebook/social media for a while, not because they're easy to hack, but because they must prey on human behaviors and insecurities in order to thrive and exist.

If they enforced it, then it must not be that hard to get. It looks like you just need to take a test to get one.

It was in a school district that had two high schools, and my high school had 2,000 students. There were something like 15 elementary schools at the time. Yes, it is a public school district. Is that not normal?

They're usually part-timers or neighborhood parents volunteering.

Project Fi (the cell service provider, though I think it's just called Google Fi) is a very different entity than Google Fiber.

Are you not familiar with the Huffington Post?

by ikeyany 7y ago
I don't know, Project Fi is pretty awesome. There are so many industries they've disrupted for the better. They're certainly not as innocent as they were in the past, but they're getting a lot of disproportionate hate ri

The last ticket left was a first class ticket?

When they first started out in my city they offered a ride pass that put a hard limit on rides less than 20 miles at $4. Yes, $4 for anywhere within 20 miles. Then it was changed to $5. Then it was changed to $6, or instead you could UberPo

I'm curious why you think it's healthy for nations and friends to spy on each other, but not companies.
