The point is that the algorithm isn't what people are currently trying to get past, they are trying to get past human hiring. When they switch to a strategy gaming the algorithms instead of the humans then the algorithms can become wor

In my experience, they are easy to find in the US: Get a job at a company with East and West Coast offices at the East Coast office. Always offer to help on the projects and areas that have mostly West Coast resources and leadership.

I buy low end smartphones (~$25 off-contract) and I couldn't be happier with them AFA my own use. Sometimes you need whatsapp or what not to coordinate or want to run some other basic apps. My only negative would be that the touch scre

I'd recommend something in the spectrum of Jon Kabat Zinn's work in whatever format you prefer. For casual interest, you can find him guiding mediations on youtube or buy any of his older books for pretty much nothing on used book

Once you leave you are on a very small list and you no longer have any legal protections from perpetual US surveillance and potential harassment. Will you eventually be bulk added to some no trade or no fly list? A life is 20 presidents, ea

I didn't look specifically at Tor, but even early p2p anonymizer proposals had each node aggregate groups of standard size newly encapsulated chunks that were only sent out when there's enough to send similar bundles to all its ne

Most people have to flip the coin once or twice to get heads, would they comment on a statement that it is easy to get heads? Probably, lawyers are good at email if they are routinely sent a lot of email given the customer demographic in th

It seems like a potentially interesting article, but it reads like it is not not written in double negatives. I mean the article states that being drab is about not investing in expensive traits. But everything about it is written as if the

Very true, but I wouldn't blame the utilities for understanding the basics of the US. This model is really the US standard to screw lower social classes that plays out elsewhere, i.e. credit cards as the national payment system instead

I don't think you need to worry about the suffering of current mobile app devs, I think these kinds of articles are more about shrinking the pipeline of new junior devs and devs transitioning in based on old information. Much of the bo

The first thing I find odd is that so many employers actually read cover letters carefully enough to discriminate based on them. The lower discrimination level with inexperienced candidates may be better explained by the lower investment in

These concerns make sense if we assume that they have no processes. My understanding is that they are using holocracy, so there are defined processes each with leaders (like boards with a chair) and these process are organized in a hierarch

I'm as much for generating friction as anyone else. But I wouldn't pretend that keeping data in any country in NATO isn't akin to giving it to five eyes. Basically the EU is creating a PR stunt that in theory could force them
