A couple of years ago at a company I was working at, we tested an offshore staffing company.

First try: the person we interviewed ended up NOT being the person that the following week was assigned to work for us.

Second try: during the interview (voice only, shared screen for technical test, no video was allowed) we are pretty sure that someone else was feeding them the answers to our questions (probably chat) and was actually doing the test using the keyboard and mouse.

I am going to make a VisionPro app "Mt Everest climb", free to use, there's a $1,000/year charge for the certificate, available online.

I was confused by the comments here. Surely someone is going to post the Technology Connections video on the toaster. I see you did it indirectly. That video is great.

So it's an endorsement from Intuit.

Hold on! Is this legal in any way?

Using confidential information held on behalf of third parties to become market makers?

There are 2 guys with spreadsheets in denver doing the same with information scrapped of linkedin and pitchbook on who works where who invested where…

I have a question for head hunters: when there's a job post that says "COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL" and nothing else, is this really a confidential search or something else?

TIA

99% of the time they just want to prevent you from applying to the company directly.

In my experience, the 1% of the time it's not is with DoD clients, specifically with clearance jobs. If the job description does not specifically call out a security clearance level that is required, then they're just covering.

I think it's true. In those case, when they ask me for my rate expectation, my answer is "it's confidential".

sometimes it's because they plan on firing someone once they hire a replacement, but don't want the employee being fired to see the posting and put it together that their days are numbered because they still depend on them.

Also means you'd be walking into a situation where you're taking over a role that the company critically relied on.

A lot of jobs never make it to the boards directly, or if they do, they're not listed with company names because it just opens up the position to more recruiters calling in to client managers. A recruiter will usually discuss the client with you directly so that you aren't double submitting yourself, though.

Interesting open source (freemium) publishing business model.

> The thing is you are going to make mistakes when you are reasoning with uncertainty, you can learn to make better mistakes but you're always going to be taking risks.

My take has always been that calculated risk is no risk at all, hence my love affair with data. But now I am starting to question the validity of the premises.

> Maybe you should take up Poker as a hobby.

I have actually seriously thought about it. I know little poker, and it is a interesting proxy for life/business decision making process; with possibly some game theory in it too.

Calculated risk is plenty of risk.

Starting a startup is like a hand of poker. That is, there is some chance that you might work on it for six months and decide it is not worth it, some possibility you will drop out at some other point, some possibility that you get acqui-hired, and a very small chance you hit it big.

You shouldn't do it if one of the outcomes is you wind up on the street, but you might very well have it fail, reel a bit, and then get a job for somebody else.

Someone failed "Game theory 101".
