The presumption applies to the navigational techniques, not the inhabitance. As your own pull quote states, the inhabitance is a thing that archaeologists have determined , not presumed. Also: where is the hyperbole?

This seems like a way to reduce homelessness and fix the housing market in one fell swoop.

Where is the hyperbole? The fact that island today is or may be "deserted," does nothing to diminish the fact of the navigational achievements presumably engendered by the tools and techniques discussed in the article.

Imagine how terrible it would be to be on a team with a guy who thinks that employers treat all people with due process always.

Try "Ministry For The Future" if you want an even more horrifying opening to an climate change thriller. (They also end up using geoengineering to mitigate climate change in that novel.)

I'd recommend the book, not because of the writing per se, but because of the hypotheses it delivers about the necessity and efficacy of solar geoengineering. There are lots of reasons to read books.

Serious "Three Body Problem" vibes here. The Chinese-language TV show (available to stream for free on YouTube) is surprisingly faithful to the novel, so far.

Thanks, but I didn't ask you, because you didn't write it. I think it is satire, but sometimes one can't really know. It is undoubtedly a position that some people hold that missed revenue/profit estimates are aki

I am not questioning his right to not answer, just the wisdom of it. If he doesnt want the job, why waste eveyones time with this childishness? If he does want the job, why not play ball?

It's actually a real problem here, considering the cost of medical care here in the USA, and how insurance is generally via employer.

Sure, so give us a better analysis instead of the presumptive downvote-and-grouse.

Youre getting downvoted, but perhaps you meant this as satire? Poe's Law and all...

"I got kicked out of English for insubordination" oh, and the blogger gave a smarta* answer to a free-form text question? Yep, insubordination is still there. I'd pass on this candidate too.

I agree with you. I think the purpose of a company is to help ensure social stability by providing productive and meaningful employment. If the government is doing its job and ensuring an environment in which firms can thrive (financial s

It might help if you give us some context as to what you already talk about in 1-1s. With my direct reports (I am in data science, so the project timelines/structures may be a bit different), rather than ask for a status report, I wi

your childhood was funded. or did your parents build the roads to the place where you were born? like it or not, a continuous society is a ponzi scheme of sorts. one which you benefitted from.
