Yep, I was put on PIP with impossible success criteria (no issues raised in PRs by senior engineers and no issues in code deployed to production - even if it was reviewed by senior engineers & QA) and fired (for failing that criteria) i

I'll add my story here for posterity: My first job out of university, I was working for a content marketing startup who's tech stack involved PHP and PerconaDB (MySQL). I was relatively inexperienced with PHP but had the false con

I'm at the marriage age right now and I see tons of my friends getting married. A friend got proposed a couple of months ago and her ring is ~40k USD. In my opinion, that's crazy since they're spending ~30k CAD on their weddi

Weird, While I currently see none, I do see them logged out though. Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like I might not be seeing the full picture logged in.

ah, maybe it's time we deplatform Twitter no? maybe it's tongue in cheek but in all honesty, I find it extremely hypocritical that the Ayatollah of Iran, dis-information news organizations (esp those based in China) and now CP are

Honestly, I've had way more success with Bumble when it comes to getting matches, continuing conversations and meeting IRL. That said, IMO the market for Tinder vs Bumble is quite different even though they are in the same space. Anecd

I guess that's because the world is not black and white. You see corrupt cops hurt you while the nice mob helps your family. It's one of the reasons why successful criminals always have a good community outreach program. Once you

On a side-note, I hate how Facebook sticks to their real name policy and does not allow for the creation of multiple accounts (I'd want one for my startup / work etc. and another for my personal use case for my friends / fami

Didn't they freeze Trump only after the entire backlash? and last I checked, Trump was not on Parler was he? Infact, that was the big issue - Trump not moving to Parler or Gab while calling out Twitter. It's funny because if he di

The idea behind repealing 230 is not essentially about tackling censorship. It's more so the idea, that the right wing believes that Social Media is unfairly applying their moderation rules targeting the right side of the political spe

This is a good thing! Google, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit are pretty heavy handed when it comes to "censoring" content. This is annoying because somehow "rightwing / wrongthink" content is censored while "left

Thanks for being willing to have a discussion about this. 1. > The difference is of course that the burger only kills the person ingesting it where a gun kills someone other than the owner. Guns in general (both in the US and CA) have m

We are paying salary as a perk. Legally we don't have to. With that in mind, why should those 16 months count to experience? Work was not done by said engineer, and experience was not gained. The other engineer worked, gained experienc

Most companies have a particular pay scale for a role - based on experience, position etc. (let's say a formula exists) I'm arguing about this with the above mentioned model

This makes sense to me. Thanks for providing another view point.

My answer would be the exact same which is why I asked the question.

by throwawayosiu1 7y ago
I'm a startup founder and I'd like to understand this: Let's say we have a pay scale that pays you ~15% raise yoy + years of experience. We have 2 people for this example - one male and one female. Both join in at 5 yrs of ex

FB blocks those numbers, I've tried those in the past. Almost all major services that use phone verification ignore those numbers out right or act like they accept it but either: 1. don't bother sending texts 2. shadowban you

I used VPNs. But FB keeps a track of a lot of public VPN & Cloud providers and then throws a ton more "captchas" your way - asking for your picture, govt id, phone number verification etc. As for searches - I've searched

While the user might have issues (like cookies and other features) - I can guarantee you Facebook does all kinds of creepy stuff to identify who you are. Worse yet, once they think they've successfully identified you - they share your

Just as a note, the author is from CleanTechnica. They are known to be extremely pro-tesla. Best case scenario - most of their articles quietly ignore the downside and prop up the upside. Worst case - they lie or embellish the truth. Disclo

another quick question: in general, would it be considered ok to find recruters (and maybe employees from the same team that's hiring) on LinkedIn and contact them?

I've tried getting interviews at Google and the only time their recruters have contacted me back were from internal referrals (none of those worked out in the end as they wanted me to move to SF, and I wanted to work from Canada). How

Throwaway as usual: Just last weekend (Friday), I thought I had reached my breaking point. I could not handle my job, my friends, my parents and my side idea to the point I convinced myself that the only solution to my problems was suicide.
