Here's how you fix hiring... Have them demonstrate competency.

It's really easy to screen out people when you say "Hey - login to this VM and show me how to import raw data into postgres and run a report."

Or do whatever you're going to do.

My favorite story is from a particular sean who had a candidate that said they'd been using VM for 20 years, and when he went into a document the candidate hit j 200 times to go line 200.

Saying it's baffling is not explanatory. And whilst you say a lot you have failed to cursorsily discuss mitigating effects of insurance.

you're missing his point. Cal Grants removes an advantage that actually functions in the real world.

The same chunk of population "should" (??) think that the Israeli ancestors killed Jesus, and that the Jews will go to hell if they don't accept Jesus as their savior - so - people are weird.

Who is the dictator here? Obviously the states that run these schools will raise taxes to fund the state schools, no?

There's no chance this is disinformation muddying the online argument to prevent people from intelligently concluding that this is a directed energy weapon, of course.

New comment by late2part in "Will even the most advanced subs have nowhere to hide?"

late2part — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:04:46 +0000

Pretending to be a whale doesn't seem like a sound principle to me. Subs don't follow the migratory paths of whales, as far as I know. Now, we just look for whales that are out of place and send a drone out to check.

Maybe you're right though, that overwhelming the signal pattern, similar to how SDI/Star Wars was deemed moot.

"against the property"

You probably think identity theft is a customer's problem, not the bank too.

Just because the narrative calls it something, doesn't make it right.

It's silly for a nation-state to sue cash, it should never have been considered reasonable.
