As sibling said: Linkedin is a resume site, not a social network; post your sales pitch there. You get about 5 lines per job that doesn't get hidden, so don't wast them with "responsibilities include"; instead describe the coolest thing you did that an outsider would understand.
The only updates worth posting are "my team is hiring" and "my team just launched this cool product, so come work here/come hire me".
It's very low effort, and you will get attention from legitimate recruiters from time to time. I've found the payoff depends on where you live - Left Coast and you'll get tons of recruiters contacting you, elsewhere not so much.
More special purpose hiring sites like Indeed (or Dice, heh) seem to be more useful when actively hunting for jobs/candidates. Linkedin is the cruise-control version of those sites.
Perhaps, but it's a bit less fungible. Put in a water pump and that hard to sell off. Medical care is tricky - any drugs are immediately stolen and sold, but training locals to be first responders can be a real help. Teaching people to read can also be a big win, and subtle blow to dictators and theocrats. Doubly so teaching girls to read in shitholes where that's outlawed.
If the government pays an addict's rent, the addict rents out the place (perhaps to 6 other addicts) and uses the money to buy drugs. That's the world of an addict - there's nothing you can give him that won't be sold to buy drugs, at some point in the downward spiral.
On the one hand, you are not helping a drug addict by giving them money. OTOH, so what? Anything you do give them just gets sold, and you're just making it less efficient for everyone else.
Depends on what sort of "aid money" we're talking about. If you give cash to a third-world shithole, it ends up in the Swiss bank account of the dictator, and the people get nothing. The less marketable the aid, the less can be stolen by the government, so even if the aid itself is less use to the poor you're trying to help, they still came out ahead.
Similar, giving cash to a drug addict will in no way help either the drug addict nor their starving children. But there's certainly efficiently in just giving people money, compared to giving them credits which can only buy "food", which is then spent to buy Coke/Pepsi, which is then sold to convenience stores at half the price paid. That's just wasteful and pointless, just give cash.
The only problem with UBI replacing welfare is the amount would be too small, or too expensive. I'd definitely be OK with tossing all US "welfare" programs and sending everyone a check for $80/month instead, but I doubt it would fly.
Why so? They are equivalent technical terms. You can talk about a device controller processing or executing a request with equal clarity, just as you can cancel or abort that request before it's finished.
I think he's got it backwards, remembering the agenda but not the talking point. The first registered slave owner was black. It's a bit of a silly talking point, since no one thinks most slave owners at the time were black, just an accident of record survival.
It's no different from the rule "don't use contractions like don't". No need to add confusion to a standard when there are perfectly good alternatives.
Pharma startup don't advertise, as the only thing they sell is the company. Large pharma companies do little research, instead they buy the startups. It's just like tech that way.
People do that already with their non-incorporated businesses, and with non-profit corporations, and the IRS is fully aware of all the cheats, and tax law keeps up with new ones. Taxing the profit when it moves to owners is enough.
It has to be Something/Minion. I've seen "minions" in production services, and can't think of a better term. Before the movies, I would have gone with "henchmen", but "minions" wins now.
Meh, it's not new. Editorial guidance for ANSI/ISO stanrds from 20 years ago included avoidance of "slave" (the oddball "master/peer" was recommended), as well as "cancelled, not aborted or killed" and "processed, not executed".
It gets silly, but then some technical terms become more offensive in translation, and that's a reasonable concern for a global audience.
given that the words remind some people of America's peculiar institution
Really? Slavery was a thing for all of recorded human history. Even now it's alive and well in places like Qatar. American slavery is an embarrassment to America, as we were slow to abandon it compared to Europe, and it took a war to do so. But slavery as a concept? It's hard to find any location on Earth with a written history that doesn't include slavery staining that history. It's not in any way "America's peculiar institution".
I've heard there are Millennials who were never taught that there were slaves in Europe, Rome, Egypt, Sumeria, etc, basically any place with government established enough to leave written records.
The pharma startup culture is as big as the tech startup culture these days (and has much better gender balance). Very similar high business risk, long hours, VC and angel investors, all very familiar to techies.
Chinese five year plans are actually going quite strong
You really shouldn't believe anything the Chinese government publishes, you know? Lies upon lies. You do know the trains didn't actually run on time under the Fascists either, right?
The US does most of the medical research for the world, and pays for it. Those are the "better results" from the US system - advances in medicine. "Covered" isn't saying much: at what standard of care?
they still didn't implement basic social net such as free health care
Free? Really? What propaganda.
Paid for by taxes instead of paid for by consumers. Nothing's free. The US covers the poor and the elderly, with government medical spending accounting for about 45% of the industry.
US government spending on health care works out to ~$12,500 per taxpayer. That's not a small bill. We consume a heck of a lot of medical care in the US ($3.3 trillion in 2016, 17% or our GDP).
How much does your government spend per taxpayer on medical care?

Indeed is the biggest. And don't forget Dice.

I don't play Overwatch - is their anti-cheat technology any good at banning actual cheaters? Or is this its only feature?

The LG Flagship has a headphone jack and an audiophile DAC. The disease hasn't spread quite everywhere yet.
Give them $100 in cash and their dictator gets $100 and they get nothing.

Much cheaper to just give poor people the money.

You are the first person to use the term "SJW" in this thread. I refer you to your own sig.

"Gru" is a bit odd out of context, just like MSs infamous NsaKey. That's the biggest problem in our field: all the TLAs are taken.

Anything pro-slavery in the New Testament? I honestly don't know, but give Christians credit for being on version 2.0.
seriously? this is what the world is becoming????

By an odd coincidence, the US accept more immigrants from emerging economies (and third-world shitholes) than anyone else. Funny how that works.
Anyway, "pharma startup culture" what?
