that get's it's own TV show. higher profile than HN

must include drama when a team brings a 99% complete app with them into the hackathon.

cubicles, or desk farms with partitions that are just taller than your monitor.

I find it a bit frightening that some of these products are marketed as a way to work even more.

Makes me wonder how many stadium pals are owned by the same type of people.

Haven't tried it myself, but this month's Oh No Ross and Carrie was all about Soylent http://ohnopodcast.com/investigations/2015/6/3/ross-and-carr...

If you pull and then move those files to your own media and to top it off use that code in your new job, there's a problem.

I've known people who've done it and I've had to clean up after them when it came to light where the code for certain modules came from. It sucks.

I had an employer that forced us to use a shift planning app for clocking in and out.

Not that we did any shift work, literally none, and 95% of people worked in the office, but the app was such that you couldn't clock in or out without having your GPS on.

The only reason to force us to use this was to make sure we knew we were being watched and that we weren't trusted.

It was insane.

make sure your phone is unlocked and buy a pay and go sim card here. You can easily do your research before you leave to find out any necessary details.

If I read her desription right, she wore pretty typical business casual clothes with a bold colour choice.

So, say a guy walks in wearing a typical hipsterish tight casual suit and dyed hair, would that have been the "deal breaker" on an otherwise highly qualified candidate?

I say this having had a boss who repeatedly stated with glee that he would never hire someone who wore a suit to an interview. He was wrong too.

I let HMRC do it, and they've been good enough to even refund me when I was overpaying. So, yeah, I'd let the IRS do it if I moved back.

some people believe that showing support for anything below the latest release of IE is detrimental to the entire industry.

An ivy league school and you ended up 10K in debt. Congratulations, you ended up owing very little for a very expensive education.

perhaps it's how I am, but if I'm not interviewing with people who are part of the company, how am I supposed to make judgements about whether I want to work with these people?

IVF can currently involve 5 people as it is. Sperm donor, egg donor, surrogate, couple whose child this will be.

This method ups it to 6.

I prefer team rooms. Don't care if they are real or virtual, but it's much easier to collaborate if the people involved in a project are together somehow.

considering, as the article says, this only works with one way tickets, and no luggage, how many people would be taking advantage of this that a lawsuit is necessary?

thanks for the write up. Having been through this on the inside, company implosion, the few of us who stayed needed to save the software from all the poor decisions made for all the right reasons, I can say it's made me a better programmer.

Not a job for the faint of heart, especially when it's your own history you are now fixing, and I appreciate seeing the experience of someone else.

not quibbling about precedent or anything along those lines.

I'm just interested in the correctness of the metaphor.

wouldn't it be more: Like NBC owning a team?

when I enquired about having mine done (after I learned about the FBAR) I was quoted in the realm of £2k and I'd have to make the trip to London with all my data.

Considering my taxes would be easy peasy, I wouldn't think $5k is out of the range of normal.

You've never had clients that take that long to get back to you about something that is actually important to them?

That's pretty lucky.

as an industry, we really love those backronyms

having just been through a rather acrimonious acquisition (as an employee) I can't help but think about the unwanted employees who are on the other side of that desired "acquired team" divide.

And then there's those of us who have non-existent debt sold on to these people.

About 12 years ago, I started getting letters from a debt agency about a medical bill that I did not owe. Letters that I forwarded to the insurance company.

Then the phone calls started, with people trying to convince me to pay a bill I didn't owe.

It took about 9 months to get it sorted out. What had happened is that the doctor had improperly billed the insurance, for a fee they had already billed for, and the insurance refused to pay it.

The doctor's office sent it to collections. And the collections agency would only stop harassing me if I got the doctors office to call them and admit they had billed incorrectly.

That was not fun.

I believe that's your answer. When you work with print designers who have moved to web design, but don't know thing 1 about css or html, you get some funky designs.

Really nice designs, but complicated PITAs to actually develop

moving goal posts, is "I asked you for x, you provided me with x, but I really wanted y, so now I'm going to tell you you're wrong"

You want someone to answer a programming question within a particular set of boundaries, you set those boundaries.

unless the interviewer plans to move the goal posts, there was no specified memory restriction in the original question.

but now anyone who's watched Fargo (tv) will be able to work it out

I think How to Win Friends is one of those books that you (you being someone in the supermajority of people who isn't naturally gifted at interpersonal relationships) know you should read but you avoid it.

Then one day, you are desperate and you read it and wonder "my God why didn't I read this sooner!"

what you should do is figure out why someone you don't know, to whom you own nothing, is able to make you feel so bad about not giving them anything.

Give money to beggars or don't, give money to charity or don't, give money to random people or don't.

Just figure out why you feel the way you do, I don't think anyone can do that for you.
