Ziptango is not liable for depreciated item value, loss of items, stolen items, or broken items due to courier mishandling, nor are we responsible for replacing items carried by the users of Ziptango. I understand that the rating/rep

While I've been in similarly frustrating exchanges, losing your cool (all-caps and swearing) helps nobody, including yourself. It doesn't help the already flustered and incompetent CSR help you out. I find that in these situations

Is exercise a regular part of your routine? I personally find, as counter-intuitive as it may sound, that I feel more energized when I'm exercising regularly. Also the evidence of the positive effect of exercise on depression is substa

Sounds like a poor choice of wording from ooyala. You are clearly qualified for this position on a technical level, but there are a multitude of other things you are evaluated on for most positions. Perhaps you didn't meet their requir

My father's sciatica pain was when standing, not sitting, but eventually it was so severe that he had to get surgery to alleviate the pinched nerve. Have you considered a standing desk?

Am I the only one who thinks that "dark matter developer" does a terrible job of describing its intended meaning? I had never heard of the term and I certainly couldn't extrapolate what is meant by it just based on the name.

Personally I wish the FDA would get out of the business of validating each pregnancy test product on the market. I'd prefer that something like the UL be used instead. First, you can't substitute UL for the FDA, they have very d

The fact that they're not marketed as a clinical tool for diagnoses? From the 23andme homepage: "A simple DNA test led to an unexpected diagnosis for a mother and daughter, changing their lives forever.". Obviously the key

Nobody is denying that there is potentially a lot of value in 23andMe's genetic reporting. The point is, like all other medical tests before them, they need to go through the proper regulatory channels to ensure their safety and validi

The frustration directed towards the FDA in the 23andMe threads is not surprising, but short-sighted, IMHO. Sure, there are likely inefficiencies in the way the FDA operates, in a micro-sense, but in the macro-view, this sort of stuff need

You have no idea how the "challenge" was completed. A candidate could have rent-a-coder-ed the project, refactored it a bit, and slapped their name on it. Sure, if you ask no follow-up questions after the challenge is completed.

Former chess player. I played competitively up until about age 17. My national rating (Canada) peaked at ~2200 (probably putting me around (2000-2100 in FIDE terms), but didn't play in enough FIDE-rated tournaments. Once I started stud

Unlikely, but not because of a lack of appeal. I'm getting older, having a kid next year, and time for video games has slowly vanished for me. I sure do miss those teenage years of being able to pour hours a day into an immersive maste

As someone who has zero experience in this area, but is curious about it for that same reason, I want to thank you for your voluntary transparency. The piece itself is also well-written and is an overall enjoyable read. I wish you all the b

Saskatoon and especially Edmonton, for what they are, are far from cheap. The amount of resource-based work is attracting workers in droves and driving up living costs.
