That's assuming what they do is straight e-mail support. I'm not sure what a happiness hero does but they might be expected to do much more than e-mail support. In many companies the "success manager" role tends to req

It's also possible that this was for two different jobs. In other words, after a phone interview and 3-4 onsite interviews the first position passed and then another group felt the feedback was good enough to try them in another role.

I have to agree with most, if not all, of what this article is saying. Some friends of mine brought over their gaming rig and the Vive over. My kids loved it, it was pretty cool and all but there is no way I'm spending 2K to buy a ga

Yeah, but normally when companies get bought for small amounts of money it's because they're running out of cash and would probably get shut down anyways. If they were making a profit they'd have been bought for more or they

The SIS systems are almost all hosted these days so it's the same risk from an Internet requirement. Google doesn't track usage on students use of Chromebooks.

If I had to guess it wasn't really necessary from a teaching standpoint but they decided it was easier since nowadays they manage the entire school on their school information system. Attendance, lunch room balances, etc. are all rout

I have a 2016 VW GTI that has the same feature set. It's cool and all but more of a safety feature if you happen to fall asleep while driving than anything else. Just hope that if you fall asleep that there is sufficient contrast bet

How do you think Google can motivate 3rd party advertisers? I'm talking about the Rubicons, Pubmatics, etc. Google doesn't have any real leverage over them. Other than the fact that as publishers do move to SSL (because of the

Google DFP allows it because publishers (e.g. the New Yorker) aren't ready to switch all their traffic HTTPS. If they wanted to they could turn the switch and be HTTPS and tell DFP to only serve secure creatives. One of the larger dif

I sense that you think this is derogatory towards China when it is not. Or at least I don't read it that way. It reads to me as though it shows how connected our world is and how when a large consumer falters it affects all of its su

It is not actually true. The school district acts as the agent for the child and it is their responsibility to spell out in contracts what the vendor can do with the data (in most cases). They are bound by various state and federal laws o

Why wouldn't you take them with you while traveling? The whole point is to use them as part of your authentication chain.

The BMWs also use a urea based system that separates the NOx into Nitrogen and Oxygen and does it very well. However, those systems are expensive and add a lot of costs to the car. VW wouldn't be able to sell their TDI cars as cheapl

I'd second Grado if you like open-air style cans. They have a fun retro look and on top of that the pads are easily replaceable. Also, Audio-Technica make really good headphones for the money.

Because they are lower risk. And really, it's not so much because they are rich, but they tend to be the part of the population with a better record with their credit. If you have good credit and are relatively poor you can still get

Bids generally have to be responded to within 100ms on these AdTech stacks and if you start to timeout they slow down bids being sent to you....which makes your bid manager less desirable by advertisers. You can probably use stream process

Maybe they could use some of that money to add the ability to add photos in the replies of messages. We get a ton of new threads just so someone can post a photo in response to a different thread.

I'd echo the comment of the appearance of working hard, not actual hard work. I managed a group in China for a few years and they come in at the listed start time and exit and the listed end time in the job description. They're

We use BitBucket since we're a small shop from a developer count standpoint but we have a ton of small repos plus we migrated over a ton of legacy svn repos. GitHub gets expensive real quick when you are in that situation.

First off, I am not with Clever but I have spent a fair amount of time looking at their platform. Being in the industry, I think the 25% number is high. It is a significant frustration especially in lower grades if kids have different user

iPads are really useful for kids in the K-3 or so age range, especially in the lower band. However, once the kids get to 4th and 5th grade they need to start writing more and that's where the full keyboard and ability to create conten
