Not sure I would. After all, do you trust the AI that screens resumes for bigcompanies?

The number of nickel-and-dime fees I was charged was crazy. And that title search thing has got to go too. Can't read the paywalled article, but hope the settlement is huge.

I think you are comparing apples and oranges here. An individual contributor is typically given a tangible task (eg: deliver a product that does x in y months for a cost of z). There are several qualified people they could choose from to ac

I've seen versions of this in Asia. They used a porous pot into which they put the container of stuff they wanted to cool. As the water evaporated, it cooled the water, which cooled the container, which cooled the contents. I still rem

I agree with you on the problem with offshoring, having done this myself in a previous role in a regulated industry. However, the offshore team are usually not intended to act as domain experts. In fact, they were very likely explicitly pro

The article seems to conflate engineering salaries in a low cost of living country with the quality of the software. As I understand it, the software performed exactly as designed, forcing the nose of the plane downwards to counter the upwa

I don't dispute that in the least. I find that when people have a passion for something, they work for less. An example is post-docs or artists - they sometimes do this for the sheer joy of doing it, and businesses tend to exploit that

The article has picked a point in time, and called that the "Reddit culture" (subversive iconoclasts). Cultures, of course, change, and businesses adapt to those changes. The iconoclasts have, presumably, served their purpose by g

Wonder what caused it. Weather? Software malfunction? Probably wise to always wear a seatbelt even when the signs are off...

Could that be a reason they amended their terms and conditions in such a draconian way?

Perhaps because it is interesting that a region known for recent colonialism was once, itself, colonized? Just like this statement might provoke thought: long before the US railed against China for "stealing" technology, the US ha

by jkic47 3y ago
Understandable reaction. The US is trying to keep Chinese companies out of several industries (5G, EVs, certain types of encryption, etc.). Makes sense that the same rationale would apply on the other side.

Not sure where you see my comment assuming they are idiots or malicious. I just note that they don't mention it, where they might reference the study that supports your assertion that they are significantly fewer.

In fraught issues like rent control and housing, I often see claims like the one in the article that people moving to cities can see up to a 30% increase in income, but they never seem to factor in the increase in costs, which could be far

Too funny. Some years ago, D&I, as it was then called, became a thing in Corp. America. Companies decided that they needed to put pictures of groups of photogenic, diverse candidates all over campus, where a group would consist of about

sorry, I am not familiar with the Kalashnikov story, so it would be an incredible coincidence if it did!

I couldn't read the article because it was behind a paywall. I did catch that it discussed reducing type 2 diabetes. Yogurt is widely eaten in South Asian cultures, which have a super high prevalence of the disease. Something about the

Interesting - I'd have thought that the increase in tyre dust would be offset by less brake dust due to regenerative breaking. Of course, having that much low-end torque can shred tyres much more easily. It would be cool to see whether

Thanks for posting the link. I've seen this blazing speed in other industries in China. I still remember sharing a concept for a product at my first meeting with our Chinese branch and leaving town for a tour of other plants. By the ti

Many years ago, I ran a site that used several 100 K kg of a toxic, explosive and flammable gas. They were just about to hit their permitted levels of emissions and didn't know why. I sat with the team and said to them that everything

I would like to discuss your phrase: "..voters being wooed away from the certainty of a social safety net by the idea of obscene wealth". Your preference for "certainty" may not be the OP's preference. The leap from

What incredible good fortune. Finding a fossil has been on my bucket list for years.

asking as i did not see it in the linked article. Would the Chinese cars pass US and EU crash tests? are they of roughly the same size that these markets are used to? "simply better" seems rather vague. I'd love to see more o

I still remember a time when radios occupied almost a whole table, and the magic of portable "transistor radios". we used to smuggle them into class to listen to the broadcast of cricket matchew. The teacher would pretend not to k

ate you sure it is that? after all, we all independently use the Kelley Blue book value of a car before we sell. I think there has to be some intentional and provable link that you and I agreed (colluded) to use a particular value and set a

It seems like State laws regulating Social Media could be a nightmare to enforce and would require companies to parse every post to see if it violates the laws of that particular state.

Actually, I'd say at this point, it is for the donors more than the Ukrainians to decide, since Ukraine wasn't doing too well on its own (see below). I found an interesting study quoting 400 years of US Military Studies, that clai

Ah got it. If OP meant decompiling the executable and using the source, that could indeed expose them to legal risk.
