It depends on the law. In the case of the GDPR, it does apply despite the person not being physically in the EU.

There's one very important problem with this approach: this blocks people from accessing your site who are doing so from the EU, whereas the GDPR applies to EU citizens , wherever they access the Internet from. In other words, an EU c

This is a really useful article. What I really want is Java-minus-Oracle, and it sounded from some of the chatter around Kotlin like it might be that, but it seems what I really want is Groovy.

What a missed opportunity, not to title this article "In Search of Lost Primes". (inb4 all the Proust fans downmod me to oblivion)

It's not coincidental; I believe the 'sole application' the author talks about was in fact an online game.

Netflix explicitly have a policy of trying to pay the best in the industry, as I was told when I interviewed there. Turns out it works!

by kevinr 9y ago
Recognizing both expenses and revenue over time is part of generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP). Intuitionistically, it makes total sense that you get a clearer picture of the true state of the finances of Netflix as a going conce

The hed is a little misleading---what is meant by happiness in the article itself is that Netflix employees more likely feel they're compensated fairly and aren't looking for other jobs. That is, however, really nice confirmation

Oh this is very cool. The structure reminds me of Matthew Brown's "Music for Shuffle" project: http://musicforshuffle.com/2014/04/06/session1/

Zelle is not really the same thing as what WePay does. Zelle is peer-to-peer payments, competitive with Paypal, Square Cash, Venmo, etc. (P2P is a term of art in the industry; it's not P2P in the Bittorrent sense. :) WePay is about pr

So few companies are clear about it in their hiring processes, and therefore wind up hiring for all sorts of skills which have at best weak bearing on actual job performance in most roles (eg. brain teaser memorization) that the answer is,

I think it's all going to depend on how the tenure mechanism is implemented. There's got to be some way for new money to "catch up" to old money within some reasonable time horizon, say 10 years, rather than old money&#x

Does your concern about an interviewer misinterpreting the intent of the question change if the asker presents as a white man?
19.
by kevinr 9y ago
It's going to depend a lot on the individual interviewer how well they can answer that question. If recruiting and the hiring manager don't both have good answers to that question, though, that's a big red flag.

Companies above garage size literally employ people to answer candidate questions. If the company hasn't invested the time to answer "What are you trying to figure out about a candidate in an interview?" and its recruiters do

Standard---maybe not objection, but complication: I'm waiting for the day AI can do this in 2100 KWh. (Human brain uses ~15W continuous. 15 W * 24h * 365 days * 16 years.)

That's no different than public feedback, though. It's not a problem specific to gossip.

That's why Kenn only recommends using services with per-user PSK for geo-shifting video streams. For all other uses, Kenn recommends Algo, and I recommend Cloak, neither of which uses PPTP/l2tp.

It is, unfortunately, impossible to prove a negative, not that that's ever stopped anyone from trying. For example, though, a cursory Google turns up no instances of Paul Krugman or Larry Summers mentioning it, which I would expect for
