   so much this! in my job i've dealt with dozens of Google engineers across a few teams... 95%+ of the time I don't get useful answers, and sometimes no answer at all. We have found many bugs in their systems, as well as broken API

   that really depends on the state. I am a felon and I live in Washington State, it really doesn't effect me much at all. When I lived in California, same thing, it never came up and didn't seem to matter. Texas on the other hand re

   and those companies arent just selling that gathered data to online marketers, they are pairing it with offline data and selling it anyone with enough money.

   Im not sure all the power was ever delivered to the site. The other side of the airport has a very large new data center going in at break neck speed though.

   i doubt they have the finances to buy these vast amounts of land... even at $500/acre you'd need millions in cash available to win an auction or sale. while on the subject, i doubt "many" want to buy, it's much easi

   its pretty generally accepted that marijuana is psychologically addicting. so addiction certainly plays into the profitability. then again facebooks business model is based off addiction to scrolling, so ehh.

    I am aware of the legal issues related to the matter as well as the many claims of medical relief if provides. I don't doubt that some will be found... I just think that if people are going to run around touting its medical qualities,

    got to appreciate the honesty! i've seen some peers whom i felt really sucked at tech rise through what appeared to be luck alone.

    i deal with product data all day long, tens of millions of SKUSs. in the case of two bottles you are buying one SKU that contains two somethings, that each also contain 32 of something. in the case of one bottle you are buying one SKU that

    I feel like this guy was up late and on edge and just wanted to rant about something, some pretty obvious things were missed in his analysis of Amazons practices. For instance he appears to have totally missed the fact that the $9 bottle ac

    its really not as hard as one might think. not easy, but php can handle it just as well as any other language, is my point.

    I've often wondered this too. how can one be a master at something they have never actually done? and running a small online or mom and pop shop doesn't really count in most cases. MBA right after a bachelors seems silly to me.

    I had this at a healthcare job I had. Even within IT, every silo was obstructing the others at almost every step.

    I'm surprised they made it this long. I never liked the app personally and honestly can't fathom why they had a staff so large.

    the opposite is quite true as well... a degree doesn't mean you've learned anything or are great at the things i need. of the 100+ engineers i've hired in the last decade, few had degrees and all of the top performers, aside

    I could frankly care less about tools. I would not work on something i do not care about, and all tools are fun to use if you are solving fun problems with a great team of coworkers.

    As someone who manages a number of remote employees currently and dozens over the years. Hiring someone with no remote experience can be painful and a gamble. A lot of applicants on their first go or two, think its a ticket to screw around

    you seem to be quite defensive of your choice to work for a company that builds spy software and sells it to anyone with the money to buy it. are you trying to convince us your employer is good, or yourself? its most certainly an ethical gr

    i think its utterly insane for companies that are well funded to ask skilled labor to work for free. if you want the best talent, attract it. i have refused every interview asking me to work for free, and ive never had problems finding gain
