Are there any Uber competitors in your city?

Every time I hear advice along these lines (which is precisely every single time anyone talks about HR), I always wonder what these HR people are taught in school. I think they have Human Resources related majors in school right? And I&#x27

This is true. Also a lot of grads just think, "I'm not a woman/minority therefore it doesn't affect me if I work there". Others think it sucks but will do it anyway because they want to get a big name on the resume

But if you #DeleteUber won't your money be going to the taxi drivers? I'm not sure I understood your question.

I also hated the permissions increase they asked for about a month ago. They want to know my location for up to five minutes after I've finished taking a ride with their app? F--- that, uninstalled immediately.

Typical Travis. Reacting too late, and pretending to care only when a situation threatens revenue.

Just curious, what happens to employees who don't drink?

Here is a direct quote from Moldbug's blog: >> "Not all humans are born the same, of course, and the innate character and intelligence of some is more suited to mastery than slavery. For others, it is more suited to sl

The logic here seems circular. How do you get from a world with racism/sexism/etc issues, to one without? Simply by assuming it to be true? How does acting like the problem doesn't exist solve the problem? If that's not

There is no proof that white candidates are hard to interview there. That quote sounds like the kind of thing that could easily be an immature employee who doesn't like the idea of a "VP of diversity", or doesn't like t

This post title is misleading. There is no discussion of machine learning, just eigenvectors.

I've been wondering this for years as well. I don't understand what make IoT a big deal. Why do I want my fridge connected to the internet? Or my toaster, or whatever else? The only device I want connected is my cat feeder, or my

The emails are leaked from the Sony hack. People have been combing through them and they came across the SnapChat ones this week. They came across ones about Angeline Jolie/Kevin Hart/etc last week, and they will probably find oth

Can you give any detail on what the end result is? What kind of data do you end up with in redshift, and what kind of queries? What kind of data do you extract from mixpanel? Is all this running continuously, or different schedules for each

Tantalor, your post would be much better if you simply gave the solutions you think are better rather than being all smug. For example, what tool is he using that's wrong for the job, and what are examples of the right tool(s)? Yes, ra

I've found that no matter how good you were, as soon as you're gone you're fair game for being scapegoated.

Maybe, but it could also be calculated: "If we don't apologize, the mob will cry for our blood even more, and we obviously can't do a non-apology apology, because they'd hate us for that too. Just be humble and supplicat

That makes total sense. Somehow I forgot about him, and assumed it was her partner. I was like "OK, i guess they have to boot everyone who was even remotely involved until they can sort it all out and decide on next steps." But no

I don't see the sexism here. If you changed her sex to male, people would be just as negative on him/her. A spouse who is not an employee, swinging their proverbial dick around (no pun intended), meddling with the company's e

I do EXACTLY this. Another thing I do in addition, is when I break (leave a cafe, leave the office, or stop working for the night), I write down a summary of exactly what I was in the middle of doing when i stopped, and what I should do nex

How do they get rich off the buy backs? Explain like I'm five. Do all the Joe Schmoes who own the common stock as art of their 401k's benefit from it as well?

I'm interested in this too. The only thing I've read so far is Fowler's "NoSQL Distilled". It's not exactly a hardcore text but it does give a good overview of the different types of databases, and the tradeof

Is this typical of altucher? This is one of the most poorly written articles/posts I've ever read.

The article is pretty spot on. SV IS stuck on the idea that the only "real" hacker is a white male, no more than 24 years of age (occasionally non-white). What stuck out to me when reading the various articles about PG's inte

I agree that these guys are huge tools. Sad thing is the majority of their uses probably don't fall within the tech community, so their negative image within tech won't really hurt them. Most people who use their site won't e

#3: "3) Large-scale article marketing or guest posting campaigns with keyword-rich anchor text links We don’t do this." That is a flat out lie. Maybe it wasn't large scale, but this is exactly what they were doing by asking p

I don't see any issues with it. He's trying to preserve credit for a work he created. Yes, even a blog post like this one is work. In the past, some of Scott Hanselman's has been ripped off. I think it was a talk or post abou
