I can say that skill-wise a month is a good enough indicator. Personality and other non-skill factors may take longer. In all, I agree that a month is all that is necessary for this guy, but several months of keeping tabs on work production on those remote days may be necessary to ensure the guy's a self starter.
You pretty much described my job. I do it all and being available for onsite work does make a big difference. Does that mean I wouldn't use an offsite employee for certain types of work? No. He probably shouldn't expect full time work doing something remotely, unless he's only applying to large companies who can probably find constant work for him.
It's "Insightful", not "Citeful". If someone had tagged it with Informative and it had no citations, I would feel that there was something missing, but "[a]n Insightful comment makes you think, or puts a new spin on a given story". ( Citation here.)
I mostly agree with your sentiment in the rest of your comment.
This does not matter. Call it a widget or an object. Knowing what it is is unimportant. Knowing that it represents a unit of something is important. This is the purpose of naming the imaginary object. This is what made question 1 so odious, in my opinion. When a whole is separated into parts that don't make sense, the question should be thrown out. My son would have gotten this in 1st grade but he would have inadvertently offended the teacher and I would have had to talk to her after school. Let it be known that I am a fan of question one simply due to its ridiculousness. I see it thus: "I know about 5 coins. Coffee cup #6 is a whole." Test taker: "I am unsure how many more coins it takes to purchase the coffee. Perhaps three coins will suffice."
Reading comprehension would not lead me to the same place you have gone. When I read his comment there is no indication of what would happen after he receives a decent answer. This is not a low-bar barrier-to-entry, this is a "get the people wasting my time out of my office as quick as possible" barrier to entry. I would assume, though there was no indication either way, that this person would have more in his interview than this question.
You are acting like they will only make one calculation and go with it. You keep talking about this 21%, when the accuracy measurements, (until they find a way to make it more accurate) would require confidence testing on the numbers before input into as an answer into your program. Not that I think they'll be happy with doing it that way. But for now, it'll give you the accuracy necessary to get the job done right.
You know, I'd have supported your position if you hadn't "fixed" the first line. I don't steal content but I do use file-sharing services to pick up things that would normally be free because the bit torrent and similar download algorithms make for a much faster download than one would get through normal methods.
I don't think he was fighting you on the main portion of your argument, but rather pointing out that losing the ability to drive is not comparable in any way to losing your internet access with this company. Mainly for the reason that you have to be proven incapable of driving well as opposed to getting disconnected based on circumstantial evidence or hearsay alone.
Except that this section of TFA invalidates your claim of bad summary: "Some customers have had their accounts suspended for more than two years." That was in the second 'paragraph'.
Good ideas *can* come from anywhere. The power to implement them comes from those above. Y'know those with the influence or money to bring these ideas about.
This is a pretty simple concept: Failure of the country != failure of the individual.
And what if by libertarian they mean that they believe "all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty", y'know the actual definition of libertarian?
And we spend less money for general entertainment than most.
Also you are, presumably, talking to real people on MSN and probably reading either news articles, learning or laughing at things on the web. All useful in real world social interaction.
I talk to real people in my game. I think you need to check what MMO stands for. Laughing at things on the web is roughly the same as laughing at things in a video game.
Learning things? I learn things from my online friends quite often. I wouldn't know half as much as I do about statistics and native american civilizations (and sociological interaction in general) if I didn't meet a really awesome archeologist in game.
Most importantly, you aren't bound by a very real addiction that has severe negative impacts on your real world interactions,
Not everyone gets addicted. For me, it's a great way to relax. I have numerous ways of relaxing, this just happens to be one that I enjoy because of the people. And yes, I have friends outside of wow. Some of them even play with me in game.
not just by changing how you act (which it does), but making you rework your real world schedule and weekends around the game.
Everything you do changes how you act. Learn something about psychology and interactions. That's how we are. People will rework their schedule around things they like to do. That's normal behavior. Give me a break.
In what units are they working? Contrary to popular belief, decibels are not a unit, but rather a scale.
Let's see. From what I have seen from a large number of people who speak of electromagnetic radiation at ranges usable by human-kind: when they say dB, they often mean dBm. It's a typical usage, unless in an environment where both are used frequently. After all, most people try to say things as quickly and easily as possible.
However(!!), there is this thing call Sound Pressure Level, or Intensity Level, which is what we are talking about here. For a quick ruler on such things: go here. I don't know if we have one of these things for dolphins, but it may be in the works by now.
You don't need psychic powers to understand context clues. Let me show you what I mean by context:
2 of the girls were wearing underwear, so it's no different than watching girls in bikinis, and I think it's ridiculous they were charged for child porn when they weren't even naked!!! Stupid Puritan bastard D.A.
The one girl who was topless is not sharing her photo. However you can find similar photos by going here
emphasis added by me "similar photos" + *purenude* = nude underage girls. Easy enough.
Why did you click on the link in the first place? I didn't. I looked at the name of the link, and the context of the link. It was pretty obvious where it would go. You have no right to be offended if you aren't paying attention to what you are doing.

Someone needs more coffee so they can post coherently. Username status: Still Valid.

I've been watching the episode on that site since shortly after it came out. Great stuff.
I think the gp was talking about the guy going 59.5 passing the guy going 59.
I hate that too.

No kidding. Not to mention those drafts won't hold up to legal scrutiny.
I seem to daydream and experience flow (being in the zone) at the same time. Which I can't seem to understand. Shouldn't these be mutually exclusive?
Any psychologists out there have an answer for this?

But, I didn't see anyone saying anything about chains resting lightly on anyone. *tries to find it*

Ewwww! On the other side of things, dairy cows tend to feel pain when their glands are swollen, so milking them does indeed feel good to the cow.
