I don't disagree. It is the world's premier tech hub. But a fleeting 4 year long ban on immigrants wouldn't turn the city to rubble and leave everybody without jobs as Google and Y Combinator pack up bags and move to Tijuana

Are you familiar with the Middle East?

Just because a few people from outside the US are worried about visa issues before applying to an incubator doesn't spell the end of Silicon Valley. The money, talent, and infrastructure to support startups (and large tech companies fo

Becoming a public company has it's own set of issues, though.

Dubai? So are you not interested in attracting women to startups?

Yes but that is more so relying on off-the-shelf software versus building it yourself. A technology company will be building the tools, not exclusively buying them. Wal-Mary's core competency has been supply chain and apparently operat

You're asking me to experience something I can't experience and have empathy for that experience. I do have empathy. That's all I can have. Using the fact that I can't experience something as a justification to be racist

Yes. It's striking to me how easily we're casually racist and sexist against white men. Not a good habit to start.

I'm willing to bet that this is for two reasons: 1. It's expensive because people with more money are more likely to be vegetarian. 2. We don't pay for the true cost of meat, i.e. green house gas emissions, water usage, trans

Not a very good article. At the end of the article they even say "While traditional interviews aren't going away any time soon..." So which is it? The job interview will soon be dead or it's not going away anytime soon?
461.
by muninn_ 10y ago
Yeah. The problem is recruiters are almost universally non-technical, so they can't properly gauge your talent nor do they understand the job requirements fully.

Nope, regulations and compliance always end up trumping the public good. I think they should work to make the courses ADA compliant, but that doesn't mean they should remove all of the content in be meantime. Just replace them as they

Stolen isn't the right word. Anyway they should just get over it.

Well they are South Americans then. In my experience (my Brazilian friends at least) they prefer being called Brazilian. Nobody except those with an axe to grind or more time than is good for them care that people from the United States of

Why though? Like what's wrong with being Brazilian or Chilean??

US Americans are just Americans. Only people who are incredibly pedantic think otherwise.

Control in what sense?

But that's not what happened in places like Afghanistan with respect to the US. The US never wanted to "conquer" Afghanistan. If the US did want to, it could have easily killed every single person in the country and then just

Right, but that makes the parent comment to mine meaningless as well. The United States allowed a resistance only so much as it was tolerable versus something they cared about more.

Whatever military force was in Afghanistan never posed any sort of credible threat or resistance against the US military. The "resistance" that the US military faced came in terms of the US military wanting to try and recreate the

Ohhhh man. You have no idea what you're missing out on. There is great beer all across the US. We get some beers from Washington and Oregon and California (Rouge and Stone come to mind immediately), but there are a ton of beers from th

Fair criticism for sure, sometimes it can be superficial, but hey at least they're trying, unlike their parents.

It's actually a really good thing. Instead of shopping at places like JCPenny or other big-box retailers, people are spending more money and buying higher-quality or locally made things in those areas. It's a win for everybody exc

People in the US at least have wised up to this as well. There are stores all over the place that sell made in "insert state here", and people buy! I think it's good. It helps build a cultural identity, which is something tha

Interesting. What I've been seeing from my fellow liberals lately is freedom of everything except difference in opinion. I think Milo, for example, is a gigantic troll and probably a bad person... but he has a right to speak freely, ju

Well of course. You're giving us two identical (for this purpose) people and then saying one has something more desirable. Naturally, all else being equal, that person has a slight edge.

Well, as an alternative look at North Korea. Just like there are various levels of good governments, there can be good levels of anarchy. Somalia isn't a great example to use here. Furthermore, it has a government, so why would liberta
