In my experience this article applies very well to competent small and medium sized companies. My experience with large companies with names like Floogle or Gloomburg is that the interviewer is just blindly looking for you to read their min

I think news gives the illusion that you are doing something important when you really aren't, and that has appeal. Sometimes I feel like I am endlessly scrolling for a "solution" or bit of news that I "like". Then

we know all of these things are true. the system is set up to disenfranchise these people. none of it is because of lack of food capacity, and covid did not impact the food supply chain enough to stop the chain.

So maybe we shouldn't be giving these people tax incentives and pretending that they stimulate local business.

Wait, this isn't about hacking at all. Disappointing.

Just because things are better now does not mean that they are good. Ask the poor, hungry, and war-torn if they think things are fine, there are millions of them. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/06/better-does-

Just because they technically "can" doesn't mean they actually can. Universal healthcare requires high buy-in and very different systems from what we have now. Drinking age is tied to necessary federal highway funding, so sta

Looks like bad advice for someone with fair skin and family cancer history (me).

Check out Rust Belt Riders, another business that is using black soldier fly larvae for compost. https://www.rustbeltriders.com/ and they do use the flies as chicken/fish feed.

You can still catch those firearms with a simple metal detector. You don't need device searches or indefinite detention.

Housing prices go up because housing is treated as a commodity and financial investment (ideally, it should be neither).

We probably have to switch away from single-stream recycling. It increases the cost of sorting and the amount of contaminated material.

I switched to FF from Chrome when I got a new computer for work and it has been great. I was a FF user back in the day when it was a massive improvement over IE. Now it feels "fine enough" in terms of feature richness, and it has

I'd like to see this correlated with family income and other factors before attributing it solely to Olin. Also, this was written by an Olin alumnus.

I was about to say "I don't know anyone who uses Priceline" but I didn't know they owned all those other companies and sites as well.

A valid point. I honestly don't know what is best for India, but the Kwid is a step forward in innovation, at least. It would have been nice if the article covered these points, like some of the others I've read on the Kwid.

One of the reasons why the Renault Kwid is $4000 is because, well, it uses cheap materials, and with that comes a very bad safety rating. This is enabled by India's nearly non-existent car safety regulations. Everything has a "pri

Note that the above is a UK publication and the laws around apologies are different in other countries. This document I have here (1996, pdf) is a rather good journal article on the subject for US legalities. http://scholarship.l

They probably didn't demonstrate the same level of judgment. Most people are clueless. I have a coworker who uses "fuck you" as a casual insult or joke. Can't get him to stop and no one will make him stop because "h
