I wasn’t trying to bring anything in, simply curious exactly what you meant. You’re right though, if I had read you comment more closely I would have realized my question was irrelevant. Thanks for the link.

Oracle just got hit with a 400 million fine. We will see if it sticks, but it’s not fair to claim that nobody bothers enforcing it.

I don’t think it’s unpopular, it’s just an unfortunate reality. An individual’s compensation is dependent on how much people with similar skills, backgrounds, and experiences will accept. Is this fair? Nope, and that’s why we have minimum w

Thanks again for sharing. Great insight. If you had a blog/newsletter, I would be a reader.

Generally agree except for the last sentence. What if the false negative is Elon Musk? Netscape could have hired him, but they passed. You can always fire a bad hire. You can’t reinterview Musk when you realize your mistake.

Depends on how badly that black candidate wants the job. I’m not making excuses for anyone, I’m just giving advice if your goal is to get the job. If your goal is to stop wrongful prejudice ignore my advice. Though one could argue the best

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but people aren’t machines. My reply rate rose considerably by changing from my first(unique) name, to my middle(common) name. People judge, if you’re going for a new job why give them any chances to ding you?

Ah, I also thought you meant a take home test. Do you work for a big company? I’m trying to picture how that interview style would scale. Thanks for sharing.

Have you tried cutting down on experience? With age discrimination in hiring you might be better off including 7 years as opposed to 10. Just my two cents.

Will you compensate them for this task? Even if they are not hired?

Fair enough, definitely agree that they shouldn’t be targeting those under 18. Trying to stop your kid from vaping sounds like an exhausting task. Unfortunately, once they start these things seem to hook children well into adult life.

Has Juul done anything to target teenagers? Or is this speculation?

From jailbreaking to self-driving cars. What an interesting path in life. Goes to show that you really never know where you will end up, and everything you learn along the way will help.

Fair enough. Different strokes. Giving up on hope is a scary wormhole, always keep dreaming.

That's definitely a part of it. Much easier to hold people accountable when you physically interact with them. If your manager or owner is abusing this, then I imagine working for them remote would involve a webcam and a key logger. Go

First of all, congratulations! Always scary to (re)start over, and I'm glad it's worked out for you. I'm a big believer in serendipity. To use a machine learning example, your algorithm needs to have some temperature.[1] Some

We have tools to accommodate collaboration but I believe something gets lost when you remove those water cooler conversations and physical interaction. In regards to your commute, wouldn't a 40% lower salary be worth 4 extra hours ever

Interesting, I haven't put much thought into the environmental impact of resistance to remote work. I would disagree with your second point however, I believe that you lose something when work is performed remote, regardless of your ro

If you don't mind elaborating a bit, how deep do you have to get into a project before you get past the point of experimenting? Is there value in moving away from notebooks all together while you are still learning? Do these comments a

That’s the idea. In practice does it actually work out like that?
