The article specifically says to check references other than the ones given by the candidate. I wish Reid would expand on that. If I interview at LinkedIn, is he going to blab to my boss and the world that I'm looking for a new job?

This article would be more helpful with some historical context. At some point in the past, if all cars were equal, 90% of cars produced 90% of the pollution. Over time newer cars replaced most of the old ones, and now it's 25% of cars

I'm 46 and on my 4th founding engineering team. Coding every day, learning new frameworks with each new role. Home for dinner every night with my kids. My coworkers and I are all in the same age range, we've circulated from one st

Agreed. Well, I've seen it be reasonably accurate about the salaries (and associated gripes) of the lowest-performing 20%. You can use their numbers if that's where you place yourself.

"Caret" but I agree -- it's like I landed on a page that said LOOK BEHIND YOU. Would be rather alarming.

I hear that too, mainly at night, a constant droning that seems to come from very far away outside and from no specific direction, but bothersome enough to keep me awake.

In previous generations we had a draft to sweep up these kids and send them to fight in places like Vietnam. Today, with multiple overseas wars underway, our volunteer army is almost entirely populated with the rural poor, and society gives

After a natural disaster or extended power outage, all that digital technology isn't going to reach anybody. When I was a kid all I needed was a crystal radio to pick up broadcasts with no power source.

Article starts with "I despise Facebook." Aside from that possible bias, the best it asserts is that a partner at one of Facebook's VC investors is on the board of In-Q-Tel.

Likewise. That rules out most telemarketers. I've been getting the fake IRS calls described in the article, though, and they DO leave voice mails.

When we have self-driving cars will we still expect to hack on the software? I really feel my pedestrian avoidance is too sensitive, let's tighten that up a little. And I want to win all four-way stops!

"Own" is just clickbait here. They don't quote any automaker who says you don't own your car. They do quote automakers referring to "owners" as the people who paid for and drive the cars. There are other items

Your meaning is correct too: "treacherous; crafty" and synonyms include "stealthy, shifty, underhanded, sneaky." I think you did a fine job separating the machinery of bureacracy from the malice (or lack of).

Is there any downside to Pinterest, other than the legal costs of working this out? Increased scrutiny by the IRS? Or just, as the article implies, some loss of golden handcuff leverage over their employees?

Recruiters do that to companies too. They have fake highly qualified candidates who disappear once you agree to engage. As such, most of "engineer X from Y is interested in your job" is irrelevant spam.

It's an interesting point, since I don't know how much other engineering fields are beset with this problem. The article features a photo of a collapsed bridge, but obviously its topic is software. Do civil or aerospace engineerin
