Why is previous salary relevant to recruiters for their compensation? Only the salary of the role they are recruiting for should be relevant.

As a consumer and a tourist, I was appalled at the amount of plastic being used everywhere (Thailand and Vietnam). Pineapple by the slice from a kiosk? Wrapped in plastic. Bubble tea? Plastic container and straw, along with a little plastic

I think that's more on a case by case basis. In the example I gave, the CEO is capricious so there's a lot of churn because the vision is a moving target, and the company itself isn't growing much so people do their 1-2 years

One way would be to look at the company headcount statistics on Linkedin or Crunchbase. If the headcount stays the same, it is likely a zombie company or has insane churn. I worked for a company like this. 4 years after I left, they're

Let's do one on systemic sexism in primary schools and Kindergartens as well, oh and nursing too.

You can't be seriously saying that Hollywood plays such a big role in people's culture and upbringing the world over, that a few movies would lead to such a fundamental difference? That's giving the movie industry more credit

Oh hell no. I'm glad that Whatsapp is being mostly left alone, or at least that's what I see as a user. They ship some improvements and extraneous stuff (Whatsapp Status) from time to time, but the core of the app stays as it is.

Now do one for every other IPO that GS and other investment banks have dumped on the public. If the company is not FAANGM size, it is probably trading at a lower price than what it IPO'd at.

"Indians ghost women" is an assertion made without proof. More women engineers is a provable fact.

Its not Android, its the algorithms and the ISP. Pixel phones have their own ISP chip and their own algorithms. The fact that they take good photos has nothing to do with them running Android.

I agree. Bokeh has come to be the standard because a) it used to be difficult to achieve, you needed expensive lenses and b) all the photographers said it is great. No layperson I have taken pictures of really liked the background blur effe

Some weddings I have gone to have the photographer with a big flash and an assistant, who has an even bigger light. With predictable results - everyone looks startled and you can tell that all the red eye has been photoshopped out. To take

What Prop 13 has done is create a class of millionaire boomers, who have a very "fuck you, got mine" mentality. Great if one of them is your parent and will leave their property to you, not so great otherwise.

Exactly. People actually argue against increasing housing stock, or building new apartment. They say only new luxury apartments are being built. What do they want, that the builders build old rickety apartments with standards from the 1960s

100s? Try thousands of applicants. Multiple landlords have indicated that they get 1000s of applications in hours/minutes after posting an ad. The situation is dire and the government is doing nothing about it, even on land that they h

THIS. Housing is very local. Even within a city or metropolitan area, you can have areas which have increased demand. Not to mention the other factors such as compounding of population growth, short-term rentals, housing stock being destroy

Sometimes I go back and look at my camera phone pictures from 2016 and before, and regret so much that I didn't buy a more expensive camera phone. Some really good pictures are marred by noise and blur because of the cheap lens and sen

Phones don't need to be good at every situation, just in most of the situations an average consumer finds themselves in. As another poster alluded to, photographing kids is a big reason people buy cameras and before, camcorders. Famili

Yes, it is another example of software eating the world. Sony, for example, makes most of the sensors that find their way into smartphones the world over, but their own phones with the same sensors are not at the top-level at all. Google re

A company borrowing money to buy back stock sounds like me borrowing money to go on vacation. Rates are cheap, its a no-brainer right? Government will anyway bail me out as soon as a crisis hits, right?

Its more the operations/supply chain/bean counting department. It goes like "They'll never know the difference!" and pretty soon you've gone from a premier brand to a cheapo outsourced-to-China generic product.
