Why is "I'm going to kill s73ver_" not ok, but "I hope someone comes over and kills s73ver_" just fine? I think your definition is far too narrow, and makes distinctions without a difference. I don't believe it

One of the reasons why these problems got so big is that these companies tried to automate too much of it. Had they started with people moderating from the start, the kinds of problems they had likely wouldn't have taken hold in the fi

Then count me out. I have no interest whatsoever in defending racial slurs or rape threats.

What would be better? Putting down a concrete list of terms that can't be in a name? So, what happens when the hate groups come up with new dogwhistle terms to get around that? We now have to amend the list to add those? And then what

If you turn your back on a mayor asking for police accountability, and you side with those who wantonly murder innocent people, then you are a bad person. They are people, but they're also given quite a lot of power. I don't think

That... doesn't make things better?

Police often have training in first aid. In addition, they might be much closer than an ambulance, so might be sent to help out in that case. It's not a problem in the least.

"And yes, I'm fine with the horrific, abhorrent affronts of the state being public if I'm the victim." Ok. I'm not.

But we're talking about incidents that are public. When Eric Garner was choked to death by police, I don't recall hearing a lot of cops call for those detectives to be fired. Hell, when the Mayor of NYC said something about it, at

I can't agree with the characterization of them being "almost entirely decent people" when they clam up and defend the objectively bad among them. Decent people don't do that.

If you're looking for a Slack alternative, you'd maybe want to look at Mattermost instead.

I think the thing is, if the admin of your instance de-federates with another instance, you don't have much in the way of options if you want to follow someone on that instance. Or, if, due to bad luck, you originally sign up with an i

"I still think the vast majority of this concern over abuse is a red herring though." It's not. If you're not a frequent target, however, it can be difficult to empathize with those who are. "People just don't

So offer a bonus. Don't make them gamble for it.

In that case, I'm fine with it. The last thing this country needs is another out of touch billionaire thinking they're qualified to run the country just because they have a bunch of money.

Its a shame that they couldn't use some of that lobbying power at least to fight the telcoms. At least we'd get higher quality internet with more choices out of it.

Yeah, but to be honest, that's true of the vast majority of companies, tech or non.

Not eliminating. Just recognizing it more.

And that's why it was a company I was talking to, and not a company that I worked for. But, I recognize that I was in a fortunate position, and I did not currently need a job then. Had I been in a less fortunate position, things could

I've also been told that they would verify it before, so that would be out. The law also requires that a pay range be provided by the employer upon request. I'm completely in favor of this law. Those who are strong negotiators wil

The employer is also expected to give a range upon request.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
No, you should be up front with your salary range.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
So wait, you said a number, and the recruiter said that the job paid less than what they believed you were currently making?
