That's not a problem with making a demand before an offer, that's a problem with making a low demand.

Why does making a salary demand before they make a salary offer put you at a disadvantage? (Note, this is not rhetorical, if you have a good rationale for this, I'd really like to understand the reasoning.)

Employee benefits will become irrelevant if and only if (1) the government removes the tax advantage of providing certain benefits to employees over providing the value of those benefits to employees in cash, and (2) the government resolves

So, not a teacher, but I have a lot of close friends who are teachers; this post is mostly informed by what they've told me about their experiences. First, I would say that segregation by ability is common in high school, but uncommon

I don't know why everybody's assuming that the reason the government interfered is because the United Against organization is a front for a US intelligence agency. Here's an alternative theory with just as much proof (ie, non

That is a bit of a wrinkle, but it's easy enough to extend the basic principle to that type of situation. If the government objects to person A suing person B for $10 million, it should have to pay person A the ten mil to make the case

That number is probably the estimated probability that over the course of a year, a single vault loses every file contained on it (which is what would happen if a single vault had 4 drives simultaneously and irrecoverably fail). As a consum

Where did the GPL-enforcing lawyer come from? How did the lawyer get paid? For the people who wanted monetary damages, did they ever actually get significant monetary damages, or were the money claims dropped in exchange for compliance in t

Seems like pretty blatant and long-lived violations. Anybody know why somebody doesn't take them to court and try to get an import ban, monetary damages, or both? If the punishment for blatantly violating the GPL or LGPL for years at a

I don't think you would have anything to be ashamed about for leaving the company, even if it blows up the deal. Of course, that doesn't mean that it won't make your bosses/coworkers angry or disappointed, and there is s

That sounds really scary. Have you considered keeping your gun outside the house? It seems like you could end up with a real tragedy on your hands if during the midst of a PTSD episode you mistook a loved one for an intruder.

Two basic strategies apply: (1) Sign the ridiculous agreement, knowing it is completely unenforceable, and plan to completely ignore it when you leave. If you consider this strategy, you MUST consult with a lawyer to confirm that it is unen

You're assuming that when they say "912 computers per rack" they mean 912 4-core servers per rack. It's a reasonable assumption, that's how I interpreted that statement when I read it the first time. Nonetheless, I&

I was confused for a long time trying to reconcile the claim of "912 computers per rack" with what I observed in the video: 18 servers per cartridge, 16 cartridges per case, so 288 servers per case. I finally realized they must ha
