If I were a hiring manager, I would straight-out reject anybody who was using this, resume and candidate unseen (assuming I found out). If a person applies to 100 jobs at once, it's unlikely they're going to want my position and

I assume it's some version of him saying to the lender "I'm mortgaging my house, selling my wedding ring to put money into this company, is there any way you can let us get by with lower payments" and the bank saying &qu

Not missing a payment because the CEO is taking on personal debt to invest in the company is not really sustainable, and almost certainly a red flag to investors. Based on the other article I link to, they seem to have been behind on their

More on the culture: "Instances of employees drinking so much that they slept in their offices or under their desks weren’t unusual. Drug use was rampant. Marijuana use was commonplace and, according to multiple former employees, there

I really want to hear the other side of the story here. There's so much unfocused resentment in this article that I think something else is going on. (specifically, the asides about how the Venture firm flies private jets and hates m

So they have a 4-week coding competition, and then at the end, the best students ... get to study programming for 3-5 years? Aren't those the students that don't need to spend 3-5 years studying programming and could just get a

It's a sports startup! Well, not quite. As he says in the article, the team can't get promoted the way teams do in Europe. So there isn't the possibility of a large financial reward by being "successful" at runnin

What if the article were "Walmart Wants to Sell You Both Sugary Snacks and Diabetes Pills"? Because, I mean, Walmart does sell both of those in their stores.

This is a completely irrelevant achievement. Nobody can reasonably expect this to be repeatable, and if enough people make predictions somebody will get it right. It's so blatantly irrelevant, I assume this company only cares about se

"Considerable suffering" that can be treated by anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs, at least in some cases.

What is there to treat anyhow? There's a "suffocating sensation" but no claim of any actual trouble breathing.

I couldn't possibly prove that ENS will always respond to psychiatric treatment, and it's an absurd thing to even ask for in an argument. There's certainly evidence it sometimes works. Beyond that, this is an obscure conditi

If it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck, and it responds to treatment like a duck, then it's a duck. Absolute proof isn't really necessary.

I feel like we have an article where a person is convinced they have a medical condition and no doctor will agree with them literally every week here. I'm not sure why it's interesting at this point. And regardless of the physica

The title was changed here. And in answer to "why not", because having a 70 character reference to 140 immutable characters of python is pretty useless. Also security.

Your comment is complete nonsense, sir. There are biological reasons that humans have higher death rates in childbirth than other animals. Waving your hands and "tapping into that part of their brains" has nothing to do with it.
