Are there any Uber competitors in your city?

Every time I hear advice along these lines (which is precisely every single time anyone talks about HR), I always wonder what these HR people are taught in school. I think they hav…

This is true. Also a lot of grads just think, "I'm not a woman/minority therefore it doesn't affect me if I work there". Others think it sucks but will do it anyway because they wa…

But if you #DeleteUber won't your money be going to the taxi drivers? I'm not sure I understood your question.

I also hated the permissions increase they asked for about a month ago. They want to know my location for up to five minutes after I've finished taking a ride with their app? F--- …

Typical Travis. Reacting too late, and pretending to care only when a situation threatens revenue.

Just curious, what happens to employees who don't drink?

Here is a direct quote from Moldbug's blog: >> "Not all humans are born the same, of course, and the innate character and intelligence of some is more suited to mastery than slaver…

The logic here seems circular. How do you get from a world with racism/sexism/etc issues, to one without? Simply by assuming it to be true? How does acting like the problem doesn't…

There is no proof that white candidates are hard to interview there. That quote sounds like the kind of thing that could easily be an immature employee who doesn't like the idea of…

This post title is misleading. There is no discussion of machine learning, just eigenvectors.

I've been wondering this for years as well. I don't understand what make IoT a big deal. Why do I want my fridge connected to the internet? Or my toaster, or whatever else? The onl…

What are CB's?

The emails are leaked from the Sony hack. People have been combing through them and they came across the SnapChat ones this week. They came across ones about Angeline Jolie/Kevin H…

Can you give any detail on what the end result is? What kind of data do you end up with in redshift, and what kind of queries? What kind of data do you extract from mixpanel? Is al…

Tantalor, your post would be much better if you simply gave the solutions you think are better rather than being all smug. For example, what tool is he using that's wrong for the j…

I've found that no matter how good you were, as soon as you're gone you're fair game for being scapegoated.

Maybe, but it could also be calculated: "If we don't apologize, the mob will cry for our blood even more, and we obviously can't do a non-apology apology, because they'd hate us fo…

That makes total sense. Somehow I forgot about him, and assumed it was her partner. I was like "OK, i guess they have to boot everyone who was even remotely involved until they can…

I don't see the sexism here. If you changed her sex to male, people would be just as negative on him/her. A spouse who is not an employee, swinging their proverbial dick around (no…

I do EXACTLY this. Another thing I do in addition, is when I break (leave a cafe, leave the office, or stop working for the night), I write down a summary of exactly what I was in …

How do they get rich off the buy backs? Explain like I'm five. Do all the Joe Schmoes who own the common stock as art of their 401k's benefit from it as well?

I'm interested in this too. The only thing I've read so far is Fowler's "NoSQL Distilled". It's not exactly a hardcore text but it does give a good overview of the different types …

What's your testing setup? Is your app mostly client side js?

Your CEO could care less, so things could be worse, correct?
