What does ethics have to do with answering interview questions? If he knows the answer from seeing the question before, that means he's a perfect candidate for the job. Are you seriously suggesting he should sabotage himself and ask

Ah yes I should have said it had a shitty fucking broken air conditioner that they refused to fix. Their lies and refusal to fix it were even worse than the shitty fucking broken air conditioner and even worse than not having any air condit

Why not limit just fossil fuel vehicles then? That would encourage adoption of electric vehicles while keeping the freedom of the autobahn and reducing emissions just as much.

I used to love Navicat and have a copy but the UI was so unbearably slow, the only thing I use it for is user permissions. Maybe it's only on OS X, but the app was completely unusable compared to something like SQL Pro and I realized I

Marriott is shit. Stayed three weeks in Cancun at a four and five start Marriott. No air conditioning. In the middle of the fucking summer. The lowest it'd go was 73. The first week, they were doing construction so there was a jackhamm

That's just a shit school with shit teachers. And we wonder why kids feel stressed when the adults in their lives are abusing them like this?

By most metrics? Are you kidding? People are making way less now than fifty or sixty years ago and basic necessities cost way more (adjusted for inflation). They have no hope for a raise or promotion even at high paying white collar jobs li

Yeah, monitoring told us it was down and eventually we figured it was an AWS issue we could do nothing about until they patched it. My main point there is actually that for many use cases, this doesn't have to be a distributed computin

Same story with worker's compensation in Washington State. It's really not even worth applying without a lawyer and a few thousand dollars at least to gamble that you can prove that the pain is caused by work. The word of your act

Workers and queues fail. SQS was down for us for almost two weeks while AWS fixed a bug. We had no choice but to wait or rewrite our implementation... Again! We've already had to rewrite once due to poor visibility and rare occasional

By this line of reasoning, companies don't own the code their engineers write either. Art collectors don't own the art they paid for. Etc. What a bunch of bullshit. Have these people not heard of work for hire? The artists were pa

Another entire class of issues that would not exist if we had proper healthcare in this country. I bet Amazon loves its home state of Washington where the state does this dirty work for them at the expense of taxpayers, leaving workers with

Benzodiazepines work extremely well even when one is vomiting etc. the next day. They also work well for the DTs that serious alcoholics experience. I'm pretty sure doctors know this but probably don't want to prescribe them for s

This type of insecurity is not what the article is referring to. Racists yes, but certainly not insecure (in food/shelter/safety terms that the article refers to) with a million dollar home and a head of household who is a doctor

What you describe applies to restaurants with full service waiters and possibly people parking your car. Nowhere else. Certainly it doesn't apply to places where there is no extra services that have recently installed these devices. I

Seems to me like the only terrorists in this story are the American mercenaries and UAE government that hired them.

So if I buy a regular ticket and don't make the flight, by this reasoning that's fraud too? Are they going to send me to collections to get paid twice for missing my flight? Seems pretty ridiculous to me as I see literally no diff

Seems insanely far fetched to expect that similar techniques used to treat heart disease would work for the psychological, social, and biological factors that make up anxiety / depression. This type of reductionism isn't even th

So why aren't these companies being shut down and their executives arrested for drug trafficking? As an individual this is exactly what would happen if say your St. John's wort also contained some prescription drug that you did no

If proven, these companies should be forced to pay a fee equal to the entire revenue from the printers affected and all their ink sales. I guarantee that if this was law, shit like this wouldn't happen. We really need regulation to pun

Yup. Hard to say what that chance is. You're probably right with your estimate. I simply don't worry about it much in the same way that I stopped worrying about crashing when riding with my friend on the autobahn going 240km/

You can't guarantee a decent existence, nuclear weapons or not. We certainly didn't have one before nuclear weapons existed. It seems to me the peace we have obtained in the last seventy years or so throughout a lot of the world i

Streaming services are nice, but I haven't yet found one that contains the complete discography that is available through torrents and other means. What's worse, what's available changes often so songs that are available now

I think that point was reached about 4-5 years ago which is why I don't understand the prices of these phones. They offer literally nothing over a $200-$300 phone. Nothing. Diminishing returns? More like no returns and just a waste of

American cops are cowards of the highest degree. They can't even subdue a naked man in a bathtub without tasers? I mean such cowardice deserves a medal and much more offensive terminology I'm going to refrain from here. Instead th

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think such people's hateful opinions should be counted when speaking about such things. There are always going to be people who do not think murder, slavery, and torture are not wr

It took me about a year to get to the point the author describes where I felt nothing and didn't care whether I lived or died. I wasn't suicidal--at last I don't think I was--but I was rapidly approaching that point. I was so

You mean just like we're still debating whether the Nazis were wrong and whether it was right to stop them? I bet you no Jewish people are debating that like no black people are debating whether slavery was wrong. How can you possibly

Hundreds of years from now? I look at it that way now and I assume all decent people do too.
