How can we be confident that some of us on this forum are not trolls working to discredit the story? We can't be.

You are absolutely correct. People make mistakes. Even very well trained professionals make mistakes. Incredibly experienced skydivers die. Industrial safety is tough despite well designed processes and constant training. Tradecraft slipup

Skipping over what others have pointed out - you don't interview a co-founder. a) ensure this is someone you are going to get along with b) get someone else to assess their technical competence - you can't assess it and the guidel

My sense of the available evidence of the behavior of social groups with blatantly mistaken beliefs is that many don't 'see the error of their ways.'

This sort of application is wildly out of bounds of the true scope of the theory. The relationship between physics (unified or otherwise) can't be resolved with reference to Godel's theorems.

There is a difference between generalizations, which may have value if shrewdly observed, and shallow stereotypical characterizations. This post was shallow. Pointing that out is every bit as value as snide remarks about Reddit and an equ

I have lived in both for years. IMHO this is a shallow comparison indeed. Not to be relied upon.

The health system in the US is a total mess. Single payer is the only sane way to go. That too will be imperfect and ragged but it is provenly absurdly cheaper - practically all advanced industrial countries are single payer and all spend

IMHO they have a process problem. To my certain knowledge they haven't followed up and asked why when very very talented people have gotten so sick of the recruitment process that they have opted out. But if you don't take the tr

What BS. This guy can't talk to a plumber and it's the fault of elite colleges? Pleeese!

If true, this boss is a staggering douchebag who deserves the toxic work environment he/she has been supporting.

Feels to me like you handled it extremely well on both occasions. Thanks (really) for sharing.

Better described as Bulletbroof buttery strange drink that bears little resemblance to coffee.

It can scarcely be described as coffee. To my taste it is an unspeakably vile tasting concoction.

Being facetious doesn't advance your argument. You are of course right that appalling working conditions are not new. The labor movement was a response that such conditions. But the key point being made is not that conditions today are

I have a solution to telemarketers that I have found to be extremely effective. No matter what they say you reply "That's very interesting, please tell me more." Ideally you should do this in a flat monotone. They rarely ma
