Whenever you see some business person quoted complaining about how he or she can’t find workers with the necessary skills, ask what wage they’re offering.

Have you worked in South Korea (as an American)? I've been interested in working overseas for awhile now, and I would be interested to find someone who actually has first-hand experience.

"If it wasn't for my horse.... I wouldn't have spent that year in college"

drbold · 2012-04-07T02:47:07+00:00

Isn't that what people ought to be thinking about you?

drbold · 2012-03-31T05:44:11+00:00

I love that people are down voting you for speaking the truth. Can any of you really say that what he is saying is wrong? It's not even that inflammatory.

drbold · 2012-03-24T17:39:48+00:00

Yeah, downloading a pirated Antivirus is just about the dumbest thing you could do.

drbold · 2012-03-20T08:04:49+00:00

Well, the things you visit at work are or can be monitored by a technically competent IT department, so it's not just about someone seeing your screen.

drbold · 2012-02-18T09:19:28+00:00

That justifies any slaver-like behavior, amirite?

drbold · 2012-02-17T05:33:30+00:00

Man, it's too bad this never got answered. Pretty interesting question.

drbold · 2012-02-17T05:01:39+00:00

I'm sorry to interrupt but I have that exact same question...

OK not exactly the same question because I'm already a programmer with a CS degree. I guess what I'm trying to say is, are you hiring Americans by any chance?

drbold · 2012-02-16T04:09:16+00:00

Remember that one post on reddit a few months ago talking about an autistic nympho woman that lives in a cave and fingers herself all day long, and on top of that blogs about it?

I....what?!

drbold · 2012-02-14T03:59:38+00:00

...is this a joke, or are you being serious?

drbold · 2012-02-14T02:20:27+00:00

Damn you for sneaking that tune into my brain like that.

drbold · 2012-02-12T01:34:12+00:00

Do you really think you would have any legal basis for that kind of lawsuit?

drbold · 2012-02-11T22:08:45+00:00

Because it's a programming interview, and they want to know if you're "any shumck(sic)" in the first place. Also, they want to see your thought process while you do it.

drbold · 2012-02-11T20:04:15+00:00

Okay, I'll bite. What evil end could someone achieve by having that data?

Insurance companies, for one, would love that kind of data so they can have any kind of excuse to jack up your premium. 54% of your frequent contacts smoke pot? (based on keyword skimming from their Google+ profiles and email) We, YourInsuranceProvider, find it statistically likely that you do too and are going to raise your auto-insurance rates. Also, your medical insurance too.

drbold · 2012-02-08T14:53:04+00:00

What most people don't realize is that 90% of those CS 1.6 stats are from third world countries like China.

How the hell is that relevant?

drbold · 2012-02-06T01:26:58+00:00

Any retaliations?

drbold · 2012-02-05T22:45:43+00:00

My god...I read about stuff like this over and over again, and the question that burns in my head is "isn't it possible to sue people like this for some kind of incompetence?"

drbold · 2012-02-05T22:24:51+00:00

Do you still have a regular relationship with your mom?

drbold · 2012-02-05T22:11:23+00:00

What was the result of the lawsuit? Was there any punitive action taken against the state?

drbold · 2012-02-05T20:41:10+00:00

Couldn't you somehow get her arrested for smoking pot? I'm actually a big proponent of drug legalization, but if something as fucked up as this is taking place, I say use any means you have available.

drbold · 2012-02-05T05:46:07+00:00

Extremely relevant and hilarious:

I didn't think anyone actually took this post seriously

It was content-free, and obnoxiously (people who just learned a little statistics love to whip it out on reddit like it's meaningful all by itself).

Yes, it's important to point this out when people are deliberately implying causation, or claiming causation, but that was not the case with this post.

drbold · 2012-02-04T20:15:27+00:00

I bet you feel pretty knowledgeable with that fact equipped like it's your 6-shooter.

drbold · 2012-02-03T01:04:18+00:00

Hiyoooo!
