Office environments today are like minefields. A man never knows when his next step, word, or simple action will be misconstrued as harassment. Hold a door? Thats harassment. Wink ;-) in an email or IM? Thats harassment. Tell an off-color j

This. This so much! My mother worked in the oil industry in the 70s and 80s, and these are the exact things she would say. (talk about male-dominated industry!) Heading off to HR only sweeps the conflict under a bureaucratic rug and never r

No, I don't think that is it. This hyper-sensitivity happens in Europe as well. It is a generational problem, mostly for the mellenials. They have been brought up in a toxic and rigid culture multiculturalism and political correctness.

I will follow this up. I'm guessing that by clean, you mean no porn. However, your search history, even in a professional context, can say a lot about you. 1) Search stack traces on google much? You are probably a developer. 2)

C'mon -- is it really that big of a deal? Since when did a little skin or innuendo become "unprofessional?"

Hahaha. Glad I don't work where you work. Do you think some of those are are just retargeted to you based on your interest? Me thinks so, because I got ads for gyms and cleanmymac. No boobs here. Here is a solution: 1. Install adb

I just finished a deployment using Hashicorp's vault and ansible, but we did it without a module. Do you have a link that references this? Or, if you are interested in what we did I could probably put it into a gist

Funny enough, there I already arc, which is what HN uses. From Wikipedia: Arc is a dialect of the Lisp programming language developed by Paul Graham and Robert Morris. Also, this is the language that drives the HN web app we enjoy daily. h

It's hardly sexist. It's got a lot of human truths with a healthy dose of humor to boot

Then you must lack of sense of humor and live in a bubble. @gselevator is quite funny

C'mon @ftrflyr, what happened now? A little context? There is still freelancer.com, guru.com, peopleperhour.com, and a ton others, right?

Story-telling, story-telling, story-telling! You need to take that 9-month sprint (and futher back) and turn that into a story. - What was the startup? - What was the company trying to acheive? - What was your role? - What milesto

Have a look at truecaller. They are a startup out of Sweden with over 300 million users (mostly in India and Asia). Their app is basically a global callerid. Works well on android. iOS has some issues, but it works.

..was just thinking out loud :-) But one advantage is that this is immediately viewable on any device, because otherwise you would need a WARC viewer, which are not so easy to setup.

What if, instead of a WARC file, just a high-res screenshot available in desktop, tablet, and mobile mode?

Point taken. And agreed -- this thread is way off from Norway handing Finland a mountain... Have an upvote form me :-)

Hence, my comment about sarcasm. Just what do you think was the intended meaning when someone calls a city perfect?

The only correct item here is about Systembolaget -- the state-run liquor store. Everything else is outright wrong. Prices are more, but not 2x or 3x more. And on many mid-priced wines the prices are lower due to buying power. The major cha

Sure, refugees are an external problem right up until they show up on your doorstep, and you are then legally obligated to coordinate and provide housing, healthcare, and assistance on an unprecedented scale that Sweden has never seen. And

Again, here we are with that word, "perfect." Sorry, but to say that Sweden's problems are largely "first world" is incredibly naive. Sweden is really struggling to find the resources to adequately deal with accepti

Harassment suggests they were heckled the way one might heckle at sports games. Emergency services were attacked with stones and bottles. ATTACKED.

Hardly perfect. 1. This is a story about Norway gifting Finland a bit of land as a celebration of Finland's full declaration of independence (I think from Russia). Sweden does not factor into it. 2. Scandinavian countries are also inha

Compared to London, NYC, LA, SF, Austin, Berlin to start. Secondly, I have issues with the whole "per capita" comparison. It is an important and often over-looked detail when looking at these ecosystems.
