How is this "dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women." You don't know what misogny is. There are true misogynists out there doing real damage to women. But conflating real misogyny to what the author

Misogyny? I do not think it means what you think it means.

I believe in some states it's a criminal offense to record phone conversations without the person's knowledge. So I would be very careful about doing this.

Also, prospective employees don't both reading the details either, and just mass apply to jobs, regardless of whether or not the employer asks for local candidates only, etc.

It is really, really hard to apply for an H1B for a candidate unless they just graduated from college and are on OPT. If they are on OPT they basically have 2 chances to apply for an H1B. If you don't, then the employer would have to

No but I'm necessarily right because I know how a foreclosure works. You don't lose your house after 2 months of non-payment, it takes months and there is a precise legal procedure that has to be complete. Mine was "fast&qu

Having gone through foreclosure myself, there is zero chance that you would lose your house after 2 missed payments.

It really isn't coming back, and I hope it never does. Becoming a Perl expert is pretty career limiting, because you will need to learn another language at some point, and none of them are perl-like so you gain no advantage being a ma

We gave our kid formula with room temperature water for the entire duration of him being on formula. We never heated it ever, and he was fine with it.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and get a full time job. You need to accept that you're not good enough to start your own company. It's okay, there are millions of people like you, like me and most people on HN. Take a break, go on a vac

I would love it if Google spent some time re-interviewing a bunch of their current employees, to see how good their interview process is compared to random chance. I know their best employees would likely pass the interview with flying colo

I've been through a couple of Google interviews. My last one, I didn't even apply for, they contacted me a couple of months ago, asking if I wanted to interview. Why the heck not. I guess my previous interview was good enough such that t

Is your price really 50 cents per print plus shipping? Costco.com will print for 12 cents per print and free shipping, are you guys going to be able to be competitive against them?

Facebook does not care about user privacy. They have gone on record saying this multiple times (and then quickly recanted it). They do not care about user privacy because it goes against everything that Facebook needs in order to grow. Fo

I'm not sure what your point is. Is it to say that it takes minorities to create poverty? Are you saying there aren't poor white communities in the US? What about around the world, like Eastern Europe, or even Greece?

It's called having some common courtesy. Companies such as yours that think it's beneath them to spend the 10 seconds to respond back to people is a huge redflag that they're filled with arrogant pricks.

I applied to Twitter and the HR person asked me for dates for phone interviews, and then didn't respond for weeks after I gave them the dates. Twitter HR and their recruitment process is amongst the worst I've ever encountered. Also, if yo

that's funny because if you read the thread a few weeks ago about "how much did you make from your startup's exit", most non-founders got royally screwed, making less than 20k. the tales of VCs screwing people over or founders screwing ove

Awesome! Thanks, this is just the kind of things I was hoping to hear!

Thanks. I'm passionate, although maybe not where fruits are exploding out of my mind :) But I do believe I have enough passion to sustain me, so thanks for pointing that as being a need.

Thanks, for the reply! Working on real problems is definitely my intent. I have background in developing shrinkwrap enterprise applications, which I believe is a dead industry going forward. I need to get experience in the way business is

Thanks! My previous work history is stable, but I definitely am not someone who would jump around, but thanks for that insight, it will be something that I keep in mind.

Thanks, this is great advice! I will absolutely do this, not because I want to deceive people, but because I do want to turn this into a real business. If I structure this as a real business, then it puts my head in the right place as wel

Sorry to be so blunt, but for someone who doesn't have any social skills, it's odd you would feel that Dale Carnegie's book is outdated. It doesn't seem like you are qualified to know what is outdated or not, given your lack of expertise.
