    Was just about to post the same comment! I presume we have other obstacles to overcome first ;)

    What matters more, in this context, is if you let this personal prejudice influence how you treat your co-workers. Do you value their input and opinions less? Do you think you some…

    Could very well have been a factor. I gave up on it quickly. Repeatedly crashing renders it an unnecessary annoyance. VirtualBox works well enough, is stable and reliable, and Veer…

    Found the same on a 2015 rMBP with max specs (Sierra, 16GB RAM, Core i7). It's much less performant with exactly the same VM as VirtualBox. In fact, it ate my entire CPU while it w…

    Re-shipping services like myus.com for the US and parcelmotel.com for the UK/Ireland make this an easily surmountable problem. I'm in Ireland, ordered mine from the UK on a Sunday …

    Part of it is definitely that US prices are often listed exclusive of tax, while EU prices are listed inclusive, which instantly adds 20-30%. Granted, they still hike up the prices…

    I imagine this strategy would only work if you already had a connection with the company that's recruiting. 100% of the roles I've secured since I started work at the age of 14 -- …

    Although it's fairly straightforward to distinguish between gender and sexual orientation, I disagree with these traditional US categories of ethnicity. Take a 'White' person, for …

    The time an authorization on a credit card lasts varies by issuer; it may be as little as week on some cards. That said, many payments gateways allow you to later process a new aut…

    Seems like it would've been best handled by an advance warning system, i.e., at least a few days or a week's notice that you're violating their TOS and need to take action.
