I haven't seen anyone from Tesla or Uber going to jail when people died because they're beta testing autonomous cars on public roads. As cold and cynical it is, what the self-drivi…

Freezing rents to fight increasing costs makes as much sense as limiting the maximum reading on thermometers to fight increasing temperatures. You realize that, logically speaking …

That's generally what we wanted companies to do, Maybe so -- but as a response it completely dodges the question of whether or it has been a contributing factor or not.

When interviewing people I usually push until I get the candidate to answer "I don't know" on SOMETHING, "just because I can". To me this technique comes off as condescending and m…

What does this have to do at all with the job at hand? Nothing whatsoever. It really feels like there’s no connection to the reality of the role whatsoever anymore. You got that ri…

Your question was perfectly reasonable and should not have been downvoted. That said I'd recommend a quick keyword search on "assange" + "collateral damage" (which was the name of …
