<p>That's when you use skills of management and what you're being paid for.<p>Not packing stuff back to back without important but non time critical padding's not always an option.<p>Solutions will depend on your context. I agree pushing back time isn't a valid option, it's not a work culture I believe in.<p>How about: Using post interview time that should be saved for reflection after the interview §. Trust a colleague to do it or at least start. Make time before you need time by managing it throughout the process.<p>Or many more options depending on context. Perhaps you're both on flights leaving from the same airport?<p>§ 'Reflection time' being so important but so often missed. Planning stuff without reflection time is to leadership what assuming the critical path will always be achieved is to project management. Both destined to achieve failure.</p>

<p>Depends what you need.<p>From just the headline I thought the question was slightly different however: JWT with requires time, UA, IP and some decay of variance of these customisable via an integer value from 0 to 100. Let the user choose?<p>LOL.<p>No device fingerprinting via JS or any 3rd party as I believe in users' liberty.<p>So, how the user gets the above JWT:<p>Is any authentication needed?<p>Is they want to opt in, how's a trip code?<p>An account name recoverable via email. Or secret. Or SMS. Or remembering last account action? Or a combination?<p>For a sensitive action, what's the tradeoff between verification and convenience? Against what sort of actor?<p>SMS is exclusionary. Which works if you want to exclude non US/EU phone dependent users and target those that care little about security or privacy.</p>

<p>"Is there anything you'd like to mention that you've not had a chance to do so so far?"<p>Don't say it like a police interrogation. Do make it clear there's plenty of time should a candidate need it.<p>On time, never signal there's a fixed cutoff time until <i>interview  over</i>. For the right candidate there shouldn't be. As a manager it's your job to be able to make time.</p>

<p>I worked in an organisation that replaced all directory structures including network drives and folders with what a friend called 'a swimming pool' where all documents were security/sharing the classified then tagged. 2002ish.<p>Finding a document again was entirely down to search: title, author, date, meta data, full text.<p>I loved it. I was in a minority. I loved Gmail's search.</p>

<p>I was looking at self hosted RSS readers recently.  The application is single user.  I don't expect it to be doing a lot of DB intensive stuff.<p>It surprised me that almost all required PostgreSQL, and most of those that didn't opted for something otherwise complex such as Mongo or MySQL.<p>SQLite, with no dependencies, would have simplified the process no end.</p>
