Counter point, what gold really fixed? From a google search:

"Between all of the gold sources in the world, current estimates suggest that roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is mined each year. At present, experts believe that the total amount of above ground gold in the world stands at just over 190,000 tons."

My 55" is much more reasonable.

Wearing an eye tracker creates one hell of a different context.

Being ask to solve a problem without your typical tools does as well.

I assume these tests don't actually get to the root of the issue but only represent a portion of behaviour.

I just pulled out my laptop and if they aren't cool with the solution I google'd in 30 seconds, they can test my critical thinking in another manner. That was my critical thinking and resolve under pressure.

These are nothing but shit test.

What are shit tests? When somebody fucks with your head to see how you will react, what you are experiencing is typically a (series of) shit test(s). Everyone has been shit tested, gets shit tested and will continue to be shit tested; We use shit tests to make value judgements about people, likewise they can be used to determine how people cope under pressure. The underlying mechanism of shit tests is to test your mettle.

IANAL nor American but this feels like another thing stepping on top of their constitution, specially the spirit of the fifth:

> nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself

I can be tried for my data? That's kind of messed up, what if the data was faked, etc.

Developer - "any could see the password..."

Pm - "put one of them modal over it"

Developer - "but then how will anyone..."

Pm - "we're switching to <completely different stack they heard about from someone in their uber last week>"

The root cause is/and continues to be that we want HTTP to be an application protocol, which it was never intended to be or designed to be. I feel that until browsers behave more like independent operating systems / vms, this kind of tension between what we want to do and what we can do will always exists on the web as we know it...

I mean, Canvas, WebGL, Audio APIs, Video APIs, VR APIs, etc, when do we realize that what we want is a way to run applications...

My bet is after this okay-to-failure of a product iteration Apple will pivot to a detachable dual screen model... Fear not though, they'll still happily lag behind current hardware for better margins. /s ;)

I for one approve of this pre-emptive strike against robot-kind and skynet-like future. Especially after seeing the abuse we've put countless robots through. I mean, it's probably a good idea to have robots decentralized from google's AI.

:P

I think the `_TEMPLATE` is unnecessary and the `.github` folder a good compromise. However I'll take github listening to the community regardless. +1

One of my clients is on BB, they have frequent service issues. I need to switch them over to github.
