Amazon is very much like that. I know quite a few who bailed knowing they'd have to pay back relocation money.

I look forward to further entanglement with a hiring process much more toxic than Microsoft's. Plus the joy of being hired for a mystery job where all my Big O knowledge goes to wr…

Don't forget, "luckiest man on Earth".

Funny that this shows up beneath, "Interview with Dennis Ritchie, Bjarne Stroustrup, and James Gosling". The contrast between them and this pair of posturing do-nothings is incredi…

Malevolence is in the eye of the beholder, of course, but try Adolescence of P-1, True Names (novella) and A Fire Upon the Deep.

The most interesting tidbit wasn't directly from this article, but rather from a Reuters article it references, "For instance, some administrative assistants were recently informed…

The ubermenschen diversify into human chattel.

Now he can troll us via Ouija board. Not sure if there's a Twitter API interface there though.

We had one in Stalin too and that wasn't so helpful.
