My suggestion would be to be completely up front in what you're willing to pay, even going so far as to add it to the job description. If that means you have salary 'bands' dependent on what region of the US an applicant is

So sorry I missed this thread when it was hot. If you know you're not going to pay SF (or even US) sized salaries, why waste everybody's time with multiple interviews then? State up front "We're only willing to pay $80k

I notice that not a single sentence was devoted to "perhaps the employers aren't offering appropriate compensation to attract suitable talent to the roles". If there's any of those employers reading this comment section

That's a fair criticism. I know https://grove.io/ does great work in making 'real IRC' available to the masses, but it's still hosted. It would be nice if they would release their web-client as open so

How much of that $300+ billion in 'lost compliance' is just ignorance without malice? I pay my CPA a hefty sum every year to manage my tax situation - W2 worker, W9 consultant, multiple business owner (musician and S-corp IT cons

Run an IRC server, configure a hubot. Yes, 'cloud'-based chat is pretty, but it's a new coat of paint over something that's been around for decades (IRC). For a company less than several thousand people, running your o

Jumpin' Jehosephat, people. 'Working Remotely' is a thing in 2015, you know. Just as much (if not better) moolah, plus you can hang your hat anywhere you have a decent internet connection.

I'm speaking from complete ignorance here, but why couldn't the airline industry standardize a bit more? It seems that a pilot has to have special high-intensity training on each individual aircraft model, whereas I can jump in p

Sorry man, she's gone. Get your life straightened out, and find a new one - in that order.

Heck yes. I just rejected CenturyLink Fiber gigabit Internet at my place, because they don't support ipv6. It's Comcast Business for me for a while yet.

Facial recognition is fragile - a simple prosthetic or three can throw it off. Body recognition (and gait recognition) is less so, mainly because there's relatively MORE of it that would need to be disguised.

It can't, hence why it's gambling when you get down to brass tacks.

Criminals, for the most part, are dumb. The Marshalls still got a 50%-ish response rate, and cut their capture-cost down to 10%. Not bad for a first-time novel approach.

This is awesome! As a musician and bandleader, I could absolutely use something like this. Are there any plans to make it work with a standard SMTP/IMAP setup? I don't use Gmail for privacy concerns, and have hosted my own emai

Agreed. This could also be titled "I got damn lucky, and you should count on the same amount of luck too!" There's a reason 'good advice' is labeled as such - following it tends to improve your chances of success

Every time I see an article about 'oh noes, STEM jobs aren't being filled!', I can't help but add '...at the paltry salary we're willing to pay'. I've had a series of job interviews lately where it w

This should be higher up. It's time for end-to-end IPv6 functionality on all major service providers and applications.
