Furthermore, what happens when your boss doesn't say that; you make some objective remarks that she wasn't the best candidate, but she is hired anyways. I suppose this is why you have randomized groups interviewing without knowled

I've seen this article referenced a few times now. It's worth noting that the standard deviation between is more pronounced in western countries and even then more geographically pronounced in eastern states like New York, West Vi

I don't buy that argument. Referencing work doesn't mean you just slap a bunch of links and call it good. Build up of context; heck even just mention Google Project Aristole. Are you saying Gizmodo stripped links and all paragraph

The Google memo guy would of made a lot more inroad had he referenced this material. Nothing in this article screams controversial to me. I also don't see a problem with wanting to hire more women in tech. These differences outlined do

I corrected this for you: "did they have to go over the top to make sure the diversity VP was a human...?"

This right here ^. Though I would go further to argue that women were predominantly portrayed in advertising as not being able to understand how to use technology to begin with. I think it goes beyond video gaming but rather addresses the t

It's hard to have a serious discussion on merit based employment in a culture of "rest and vest" where employees literally do nothing. http://www.businessinsider.com/rest-and-vest-millionaire-eng...

Cutting the issued cards in half seems a bit of the wrong focus point in this bill and creates a lot of controversy/doesn't really get the intended effect (i.e. merit based policy); so I would can that and the "English"

I take issue with wikileaks because Assange has explicitly stated himself that his goal is to inflict the maximum amount of damage through headline manipulation or hyperbole/click-baiting; leave it to the users to actually take a look

Building a business is a lot more work than hacking on some fun ideas. There is significant risk, often little chance of a payoff, and it consumes everything in your life. IMHO there's nothing wrong with working for other people from t

This seems like a problem that could be solved by simply having business development classes in high school. Much like all other skills, there is a need to understand what it takes to run a business; manage budgets, invoice and some rudimen

I also want to recognize the point that there may be some associations with therapy that might make some people uneasy. Take it from me, that therapy is not about talking about all the bad things going on in your life and emotional health i

I know some people here have suggested jumping to another position, which certainly is a viable option, but consider the fact that emotional hardship will always occur in our lifetimes. Similarly, it's worth gaining some self-awareness

I like the idea of reducing the barrier to entry in the multitude of markets, but I'm also a bit cynical in that any web-based wallet seems extremely risky to me in terms of the potential for attacks and stolen coins.
