Apparently their team name is composed entirely of emojis. Now that's stealth...

Hmm. Is there an actual product or service here? Or is it just meta?

Arguably this is how capitalism works, at a very retail level. If your counterparty isn't trustworthy, though, it's more like a market for lemons. Which as you are thinking, might not be good for either party.

Out of curiosity, what antitrust enforcement were you expecting in the last 100 days that didn't happen?

Regarding the trade-off between observing personality ("chit chat") and technical skill (e.g., whiteboarding puzzles), I'm biased towards the former. I've seen a lot more unexpected problems arise from bad personality f

It's clearly satire. But even in satire, fat guys like me are left out... :-/

Contra here. I've been whittling down my physical possessions over the years, and during a messy LTR split last year, rather than try to deal with all of my possessions, I ditched pretty much everything that was replaceable or not reg

At least hypothetically, this would seem to qualify as cracking (i.e., remote intrusion into a computer without permission). More practically, though, it will keep savvy users (such as yours truly) from ever enabling any significant voice-a

I worked for an HFT a while back that had a zero-sick-day policy. This is exactly what I did.

Yes, though it seemed to start during the 2016 primaries.

In NY, "NY" means "NYC"...

Interesting. So despite the apparent success, your manager put on paper that you were "goofing off and not working"? Did he mention that verbally one or two times beforehand? How did you react? Once things hit paper, I generall

I suspect that in retrospect, United would gladly have paid $100,000 to avoid this fiasco.

Deleted mine a few months ago, and I do think I feel better. Only regret is that I probably can't get hired by Facebook now... :-)

He probably had at least five or ten in mind. I prefer other methods of extracting this information. Usually 'ps -efly' piped into tools like awk/etc to gather what I want, or on occasion, extracting directly from the &#x2F

Maybe, but that doesn't sound like my interview at Google, which was interesting but really rather random. Perhaps most notably, one interviewer became irate that I didn't know the "ps -o" flags off of the top of my hea

This analysis seems to ignore the benefits of free parking, both for drivers and for the businesses they're driving to. Personally, in cities where I have a car, if ample parking (day or night) is not available near a business, I patr

Maybe, but that number is not particularly wild for NYC finance.

A lot of these deaths are actually caused by drivers breaking the law. It may well be that victim distraction is increasing, but looking at that as a "cause" sounds a little bizarre. If that's the case, these deaths will i

Having the driver stop at the end of the platform wouldn't really be a substitute. What counts is that the conductor in the middle of the train physically observes that the train's registration is correct before they open the doo

Bicycles slow and impede pedestrian traffic, and more importantly, make it less safe.

I've had success with a slacker version of my own creation, somewhat like the "magic dots" technique. I have a liquid toy that takes about eight minutes for the blue syrup to run from top to bottom. I start a work period by
