The “somehow” being “it was explicitly marketed that way”

It makes it functionally less useful than Glassdoor. Which means it’s lacking utility

Fair, but at that point they’re not hiring for a role or need; they’re hiring to get butts in seats. That’s a strategy, for sure, but not a great one.

A 100k range means they don’t even know what they’re hiring for , or have no idea the demands of the role. Or at least, that’s what it tells me as a 20 year veteran of this business.

It’s functionally the same. Salary Comp data will give you a better range than that

by photonerd 3y ago
A range that spans 2-3 job levels is not useful at all except for telling me the company is completely unserious & should be avoided. If your salary range for, say, a senior staff engineer includes what you should be paying seniors: you

> Only interview with companies you'd like to work with so much that you'd be willing to negotiate from a starting offer 2/3rds of what you want. So… literally no-where then? Because anywhere that would offer 2/3rds i

A lot of businesses post stupid ranges. Like, ok your range is $150-250k, fan-fucking-tastic, that’s completely unhelpful

Also, from a practical perspective, even Adobe never had a fully working (feature parity to desktop) way to actually load Flash on the iPhone. Apple kept asking for one: Adobe could never produce something that wasn’t buggy crap. There we

Oh he knows that, but that’s all their type has: faux-bravado against imagined threats. Not least: they’re ignoring that simply having an identity is a traceable & trackable thing… because that would derail their paranoid fantasies wh

It’s funny you think there is a separation between the two in any practical way.

It’s funny you think there’s a difference

My bank does that for in person visits but you key in the code on a PoS style keypad at their desk

Ah so you are the man with no name, I assume?

> We just don’t the government enough to let them track us everywhere. Eh, that’s the pseudo-libertarian objection (which is… dumb as bricks, practically speaking) but the most common objection is one of access . Until IDs are both free

Because they would involve holding the entire managerial chain to that standard too. Plus, it’s slower, and we can’t miss those product metrics, right?!? It can be done. Places like NASA do it. For JavaScript too even. …but it has to be a

Again: it’s a Tom Clancy novel. It’s fictional

by photonerd 3y ago
Yeah, too many people dismiss it as “muppets in space” which is so reductive it reflects badly on them imo. It’s goofy at times but the tone is one of serious irreverence, if that makes sense. Very much driven by the lead character who seem

A Tom Clancy novel, really?

You… don’t read much, do you?

Farscape is an absolute masterpiece

Reasonable, to a point, but a slightly different metric.

> I will not call people calling for public healthcare and social safety net communists Yet you just did. A lot of the “communists” in the Hollywood blacklist era were advocating for things exactly like this. Plus communism isn’t even c

A quite large number! Not to mention those who died if other causes but hadn’t had a cancer diagnosis yet. But we’re talking about cancer incidence not deaths. Which—like the “rise” is autism—is quite likely due to early detection & p

The irony here is that the authors example doesn’t fit his system. The bull is completely irrelevant. It’s a root cause of the car damage . Should have been: “I am OK. The car is not.” and continued from there.

I agree that recent results have been negative. The reason why they were negative when other previous ones were more positive is, however, undetermined. With a process that seems to be highly variable, and that the original paper had a on

Stating with confidence that anything has been conclusively shown about it is a sign you’re arguing from a position not based on evidence. There simply is not enough evidence to say anything yet. Claiming there is means you either don’t

$7-10 ain’t very expensive for a huge, fresh grilled, sandwich these days, no matter where you are.
