Being a cop in NYC is statistically not very dangerous. Sanitation workers also put their lives on the line. And have more deaths.

It is an actual condition, I was diagnosed in my early 20s. While I don't think young children should be drugged up immediately, diet and exercise can definitely help. It's sad to say, but it's shockingly easy to recognize a

If you are using floats in financial transactions you are doing it incredibly wrong. Never use floating points for that, ever. It is insanely problematic and bug prown.

There are different types of debt. I don't know for a fact if it is still true, but medical debt on your credit score wasn't even considered for a mortgage for the most part. If you had 20 past due copays that was worse than owing

I can understand that perspective about being used as a metric to the dean, but as a student I would have loved access to that info. It's kind like any other review system, a couple of bad reviews among many high reviews, you take that

If anything you would think professors would welcome reviews. They already get reviewed anyways. It's just word of mouth. At least a student could see a much wider range of opinions vs one person's experience.

You can tell your doctor to prescribe a cheaper alternative. If the doctor has no reason to not do so, time to get a new doctor.

Personality tests are probably one of the worst ways to filter. It is actually a signal the company has no idea what they are doing and more than likely has terrible management.

I disagree about startups not leaving it up for a year. I have seen plenty that do exactly that. I don't know what the motivation is but I'm guessing they just want to fish for their pipeline. And they don't need someone next

Plus they actually have quality, near instant customer support in my experience. I was shocked to be talking to a human so quickly.

The other thing I've noticed in Wisconsin, the kids don't want to take over the family farm. And quite frankly farmland is hard to sell unless it is for development. Sometimes a neighoring farmer would consolidate but it is low va

They could have gone to a community college or Stanford, or been a college drop out. It's not going to sway me. What have you accomplished and will you become a productive and good person to work with is all that matters.

Personally I've never understood the importance put on degrees in the tech field. Sure it is important for your first job, but after 2 years, who cares. When reviewing resumes, if the person has been in the industry for a bit, the degr

Can you file a punitive lawsuit against every single person involved? I mean every single person. Scorched Earth approach. Maybe they will be slightly more attentive to their duties in the future.

Or questions are equally bad because it boxes someone into a binary choice. And that form you gave is far too long and still fairly specific. It is kind of open ended. But open ended questions should be incredibly targeted yet give a lot of

Considering Medicare and social security, that doesn't seem to be the case. The older folks basically said: our children can pay that. And kicked the can down the road because it won't be their problem.

Personally I think it is awful, it really puts the person on the spot and under pressure to come up with something interesting. It will basically lead to dead air while they think. Open ended questions are great but the answer should be in

Exactly, forming it as an open ended, permission based question is far better. "Hey would you mind telling me a little about yourself?" Is much more comfortable. It is more conversational.

More of a side note, but I've noticed a very recent trend on a dating app of profiles including their Meyers-brigg info. Meyers Briggs is complete trash, I could easily get any result I wanted to. And at the end of the day it doesn&#x

Then that company has an incredibly broken interview process and is going to miss out on quality talent. And if that is a filtering tactic it's probably a shitty company to work for.

Any place that does a personality test is a place that has poor hiring practices. They are worthless and are easily gamed. I will have an idea of what they are looking for and will get that result. It's amazing anyone uses them in the

I've done that to sms spammers. I don't know if it worked but I tried ten or so variations. I stopped receiving those messages. I was getting 10 a day at the time. I doubt I actually did any damage but I really hope I did.

I won't buy anything but pure Google, Moto or lg phones anymore. If they start adding crappy software replacements I will switch. Samsung is a non starter there, hard coded button for bixby is idiotic. Also bixby is idiotic.
