Thanks for sharing this info. Too bad the milk story isn’t covered because that one bothers me most and obviously Health Canada among other countries agreed it was wrong to be putting these steroids in the cows. I’m not sure this convinced

Why is hating Monsanto stupid? Or are you just saying people bandwagon on hating them? I’ve seen a few too many documentaries on the terrible things they do in the farm industry that put consumers’ and farmers’ wellbeing at risk. Monsanto m

Great library. We used it at my last workplace with great success. It was a huge win for interactivity across the platform.

I worked a total of 2 years at 2 different Starbucks locations and they were continuously pushing us to be cheerful, chatty and even tried to get us to suggest pastry pairings for people's orders, which rarely went over well unless peo

Failed Solution #1 has mostly worked for me. I regularly wear a wrist guard and bought an Evoluent vertical mouse and have seen great improvements. The wrist guards actually caught on a bit at my last workplace. I think maybe people were af

I’m admittedly pretty basic on the subject matter myself and wouldn’t have been able to notice that. Any suggested light reading that would clarify this distinction?

I used to think ‘culture fit’ as a reason not to hire someone was nonsense, however, I left an employer not long ago after they refused to deal with someone toxic that was hurting the team attitude. It led to some massive attrition and made

As an engineer I think this is best interpreted as a recommendation to ask a lot of questions when you are given the chance. Take it as an opportunity to demonstrate a greater understanding and care for the opportunity than just the scope o

Thanks, that’s an interesting and relatable analogy.

This looks pretty neat but I’m trying to understand the target market of Anvil. It seems like the intent is to target the market of people testing out ideas that need more than just a landing page with an email sign up field but the technic

Not certain but it’s been a repeat problem that I eventually realized Marriott having their name on it was the common denominator

Honestly, Marriott is a terrible chain with contempt for its own customers. Every time I use a Marriott (not always by choice) I’m insulted by the quality of food for the price they ask. I once got $10 ‘fresh squeezed OJ’ at breakfast befor

If you lived in a cold temperature with an iPhone for long enough, you learn to keep it close to your body when wrapping up for the outdoors. Sure, you need to pull it out for some functions and that's awkward, but the gloves you are w

My personal experience with LA, currently working in Santa Monica, is that it’s a pretty laid back place with nowhere near the hustle or talent pool of SV or even Toronto’s tech community (where I’m from originally) so I’m curious how this

It’s a lot more like writing a native mobile app, that’s for sure. You manage data and state with a much more long-term mindset. A bad line of JS is equivalent to a crash if it halts the whole SPA from working and requires a refresh.

There’s a lot more I could know about the practicality of blockchain but the value of the technology is still more real than the currencies that live on it. It seems to me, in my perhaps naive opinion, that in the long run blockchain might

It’s funny to say ‘replacing’ bitcoin to me because we talk like it had a strong value and use in the past but really this has all just been speculation since the start. We all seem in agreement that blockchain as a technology is legitimate

I really like the idea of pairing exercises too. I’ve done an interview before as the interviewee where I didn’t actually do the typing but did all the dictating to build out a class with a TDD approach. It never felt like I was under heavy

I generally agree with this article and wanted to just post some thoughts I’ve had on this when it comes to hiring juniors out of boot camps when the expectations of CS knowledge would be tough. 1. I think they need more than 1 project, eit

Am I missing something or couldn’t a big enough company just buy out 51% of the owning companies and take over/shut down IKEA? This way his family still could get a fast payout if they all work together.

It won't let me reply a thread deeper any longer but I hear what you say and understand your perspective. Apologies, I wasn't trying to accuse you of being mad; I honestly thought you were trying to express yourself that way given

I'm Canadian myself and it's not my constitution either. If you're going to get mad when people react to that term then maybe ask yourself if you could sway more opinions by finding an alternative way to express the same thin

Maybe what we need then is a term separate from 'Freedom of Speech', which is inherently tied to the constitution, so that people can break away from what you see as a parrot-like response and engage in the greater debate of &#x27

doesn't blocking someone on twitter also block others from seeing the replies too? If so, it's a lot more impactful than that

likewise thanks for not reducing my response to a comic though we might disagree

You seem confused about what freedom of speech is. It doesn’t mean you can run your mouth anywhere you want without repercussions. It’s about the right to criticize ones own government without prosecution. People have the right to tell some
