no, I'm not sure I'm aware its complete crock, and that's why I was asking for feedback on my observations instead of making absolutist statements. My observations are that I typically see a female CEOs income be the first th

It seems alot of the critcism is focused on Marissa Meyer but I'm more interested in understanding how Yahoo got to such a bad state where they had to ask Marissa Meyer to come rescue the company, why it was in such dissarray when she

Yeh, well thats the problem with Jcrew now, their stuff used to last forever, and it was high quality and was edgy but had more traditional feels. A good pair of Levis used to be made well too for girls, now everything is this new stretchy

Question: why the job? Do you need to make money, or are you looking for a validating project to work on/experience? If so I have some other ideas but first things first 1. Make sure you stay focused on grades and definitely do Compute

nope, its not just an anecdotal example, its an entire country, and multiple countries in Europe do this now. They are collectively intelligent enough to agree everyone is better off when you enable people for success instead of punishment,

So where is the $75k cost to house them coming from? Clearly some contract is too expensive and something is not adding up. For that price, we should have Harvard classes taught at prisons, and maybe these inmates could have a shot at using

nah, I've worked with companies who rank incoming female Interns by hotness and argue over who gets to date her and try to bash other male employees and fight over them for projects before they ever have the first day at the office. Th

The biggest issue is when guys use new incoming female employees as dating prospects because they don't meet females elsewhere. They may be nice and friendly but I don't want to have to shake off and turn down 6 guys who are fight

The more company advertises being woman friendly, the more they are not on the inside, and are usually trying to convince the public they are after multiple women have spoken out. In fact every company I've worked for who had a woman l

Youre right this matters for everyone, but there are additional benefits if you are a woman. Your manager in many ways is your advocate and prescreens his job responsibilities to trickle down to yours. He/she is the one giving your fee

Back to the topic, prisons are just another haven for contract robbing. The prison contracts everything from security to mopping. Everything is 3x more expensive. Prison costs are a sink to our society. Except taxpayers foot the bill. There

Software government contracts from 10million- to around 100-500million a piece per state in which they are utilized in.

If even one company came in and wrote software with 1. an API written by a software engineer 2. code written post 1970s that knew how to write a for loop and allocate memory Then we would all be better off....I promise... Its hard for me to

Sure, let me help explain the benefit of moving away from privatised government style external government contracting for software. First government style contracting in high security scenarios lends itself to 10-20year contracts, no lie, a

What I stick with is based on what I'm developing and working on. The important part is to not be afraid to learn and try new things. I have not stuck with anything in particular but I stay strong in C/C++ because most of my devel

this is true You need self esteem from yourself and acceptance of yourself but at the same time it does not mean there is not benefit to continual positive self regard. I still stand that this term is fundamentally different than self estee

agreed, and this happens in academics too. The helicopter parents who make their kids feel worthless outside of their GPA and ability to get accepted into the top 10 colleges, is disconcerting. One of my college roommates parents was a Prof

I agree. The immediate conflation that positive self regaurd = caccooning growing adults form their consequences was a good thing to lump together and assume the readers would accept. You can have positive self regard for kids and let them

Meh 1. "prioritising their feelings of self-worth, telling them they are special and amazing, and cocooning them from everyday consequences." This annoys me, when people throw in an entirely new assumption at the end of a sentence

mm, perhaps but I'm echoing documented hiring philosophies of the companies. They are aware they make mistakes. But they feel confident they filter out a majority of false positives along with many false negatives. They have their own

sometimes. However, if a company has gimpy organization and technical APIs for many complex pieces of software and or processes in which making mistakes is costly and expensive, it is economical to raise someones salary $15k than have to in

In my personal experience, the codebase is not the problem, but the people and the culture who made the codebase. We sent people to the moon with the computing power of a calculator, and with enough good people and effort, and version contr
