The chairs are probably more like $1000 after bulk discount for buying hundreds of them,and they'll last 20 years. Having worked in many corporate environments, including FAANGs th…

The fact that the 1:1s are monthly makes me question how much the author really knows about managing people.

The bigger issue I've seen is that there's a relatively fixed amount of time required for overhead activities (e.g. compliance training) and context sharing (meetings). Purely hypo…

I don't think the second is realistic, as that might be considered an attack on NATO countries, which is likely not a scale of war Russia is looking for.

While I don't dispute the accuracy of your description, there are some conclusions that I wish we as a society would revisit. By your logic that the researchers only work for the u…

I generally like to base my interview questions on the candidate's resume, asking questions of various levels of difficulty about the areas they claim to be skilled. I find it give…

Friend of mine was an apprentice plumber - was working in a tight space, bumped something and dropped his torch. I'd rather not deal with third degree burns.

When I was interviewing developers from a very large offshoring firm, they covertly had an account manager listening in to take down the questions for future candidates. Each inter…

Because we've been at or near full employment most of the time. Also, the exact definition of full employment is fuzzy, whereas grocery bills rising is quite tangible.

This conclusion feels like saying more CPU and memory are better. Seems obvious that more moves allows matching to have more nuance, but I guess cool that someone proved it.

You were so close to getting there - he is a rationalist and, purely my personal opinion, the markets have been behaving irrationally for several years (I would say even the Trump …

Irrelevant - a CIO's job isn't to be a hands-on coder, it's to set a strategy and manage an organization. Companies do a good but if due diligence on that, which is why it's really…

SWE manager here, at multiple well known companies, and this isn't how it's worked at any of them. Some of them I've had to do leetcode interviews while at others, it was important…

Unfortunately, the name is already taken - by Cassandra, which is widely used enough that it's probably worth avoiding a naming clash.

As soon as you mentioned being ok with building bots, all desire to help you vanished.

You know the wings double as fuel tanks, right?

This might take the cake for the dumbest comment I've ever read on HN. With absolutely zero data/evidence, you're trying to categorize the views of millions of people, along with t…

Or what's legally allowed by the ToS...

Author is looking for the wrong correlation - the price is only indirectly linked to the amount of silicon being diverted to crypto. Should be correlating to hash capacity.

Incorrect on background checks - there are employment verification services that get quite a lot of data (many companies opt in to sending them payroll data).

Work at a FAANG - received a specified number of unvested shares with my offer, and a fixed vesting schedule.

Had one done, received the packet and they had everything going back to my internships. I think many large employers voluntarily report the info to an employment verification servi…

The argument is "because it's possible to do misuse with inheritance, you should never use it". By extension then, because it's possible to misuse Java/any programming language/com…

Without any supporting evidence, I have no idea how this qualifies as news.
