Passion is the biggest red flag from a company to me. It often means we want to work you to exhaustion.

Maybe in the western cultures, but I've been hearing variations of the "nail that sticks out gets hammered down" from my korean family for a long time.

This is quite true, and Facebook knows it. I thought it was the reason they bought Instagram.

I think President Trump proved people are lying to pollsters more than ever. Also Americans lie about guns quite a bit. I've even meet some who don't consider handguns as real guns or call them baby guns.

I'm really hopeful for this and things like beyond meat, anything that will reduce of the misery and suffering of the animals we eat.

My big fear is in our rush to optimize labor/workers for computer science we will make them obsolete soon like most of the other workers in the face of automation and ai. I feel good about what technology can do, but not for the next g

I'm doubtful of that statistic. Many americans hate the government knowing what guns they have. Ghost guns are hugely popular for this reason, and only increasing in popularity https://www.cbsnews.com/news/law-enfo

I'm not advocating for random people with guns, but law enforcement officers. >There are others where there have been plenty of armed security around, even police, and it's done nothing to stop things. Just because a small numb

I gave a realistic solution for the united states, One that I have personally seen work. You will not be able to do a gun grab without a civil war or extreme violence in the united states.

It should be a 100%. They also need to get armed security. My alma mater had its own police force, and it was really helped. It reduced not just shootings, but violent crime in general. EDIT: Also the FBI needs to be investigated. Apparentl

I think you are missing the class aspect to all of this. There is a huge amount of documented research of the impact of social class on jobs. Most of society (men and women) doesn't exist at Harvard, and the top 500 companies. There co

When I volunteered at a suicide prevention center, I dealt with a ton of college grads who couldn't find jobs, and were depressed, suicidal and deep in debt. They said they felt alone, and their parents just thought they were lazy. May

Its seems like they are dropping out of society for some reason. We probably need to go back and look at why people decide to work in the first place. What the incentives were and how they changed. Most people aren't working because

Yes this very true. I used to volunteer at a suicide prevention center before my twins were born. I dealt with a ton of college grads who couldn't find jobs, and were depressed, suicidal and deep in debt. They said they felt alone, a

Its times like this I wish I lived in Europe. I was recently hit with the facebook 2fa spam, and it was infuriating.

My personal theory probably not. Its looks like small but significant percentage of men are extraordinarily sensitive to economic advantages of different activities. I think the bitcoin billionaires and millionaires are mostly men, and good

When did you get your degree ? I recently looked at some college prices out of curiosity my alma matter is now 50,000 per year with 16,000 in other expenses. I would never have gone there if I had to pay those prices.

College is a poor return on investment right now. I think more women should avoid it too. The cost of tuition is simply far too high for the real value, of course this differs by majors and degrees. Overall its just not worth the debt load.

Wait until you get old (past 35), I'm a woman (ex web deck "ninja/rockstar/etc") and I can safely say the ageist comments are far worse. No one believes you can keep up the development sprints, or new technologies.

During the first dot com bubble, software companies were sort of filled with non-programmers. Source: I lived through it and started with almost no experience and was hired and trained on the job. They hired a ton of people to be trained, a

As a fairly old woman(mid thirties) for tech anyways and with a family now, I really feel your pain. I get the ageist comments too, and contract work has really been dwindling. Web Dev really seems a young person game. If my husband didn&#x

My takeaway was that people don't like leaders that can't relate to them. Obama related well to one part of the country, and Trump related well to another part of the country. Trump's case being more surprising since he'

I hate tipping culture. When I was young and a waitress in college, I noticed horrible racism from waiters who treated minorities badly due to tipping stereotypes. Please just get rid of it for living wages.

Neat, but I'd still recommend an arduino uno or a raspberry pi over a switch.
