3. I use LinkedIn to vet resumes of candidates continuously. In fact, one candidate was over-inflating his position history on their resume while their public LinkedIn profile was not mirroring the same titles and experience for the same timeframes. Why would your public-facing titles be less glamorous than your resume?
Because it's visible to anyone without control or limit?
I know for sure I pull a hell of a lot less on my public profile than I'd send on a real resume.
The Feds have already made it hard enough to be a 1099 contractor, that it is harder and harder to find people or companies that are willing to let your work 1099 with them, for fear someone will try to sue them later (ala MS) or the govt will try to reclassify you, even if you are legit.
I've never seen an industry really even enthusiastically try to work on a 1099 basis.
I find it interesting that we apparently have absolutely alien experiences. In Texas pretty much every single small employer will ONLY do 1099 and at minimum wage or LESS.
There is also effectively no food stamps for an adult, given that if you can pay for lodging you aren't eligible.
So you can literally starve, or work in the exploitative positions offered. Illegal you say? When laws are not enforced, they don't really exist.
No one holds a fucking gun to your head to work 1099. You have to either be a responsible (and talented enough to be in demand) adult, and know what jobs to take and how to negotiate, do paperwork and budget to be a contractor, OR...have it be something part time to add money to your regular "day job".
While I haven't seen firearms used yet. I have seen job markets that amounted to "work as a fake 1099 or die of starvation..."
Job listings ARE lies. Every decent tech job I've ever had was handed to me by a friend who already worked there. If I somehow got through the horrible interview process via the front door, the job was shit.
...but most of them got there by inheriting money.
False. Approximately 80% of millionaires in the USA are 1st generation. That does not qualify as "most."
Way to move the goal posts! Someone with a million is a decently funded retirement in the USA, not one of the rich. Put another way, when it costs a wheel barrow full of money to buy bread, having a wheel barrow full of money doesn't make you rich.
The only cases in any mammals seen thus far were deliberately done by human intervention using the same types of techniques used for cloning.
It's been over a decade since I read the story, but pretty sure it was about a whale becoming spontaneously pregnant in isolation, without contact with a male for years.
I've always figured it was both simple life developing here, then complex life hitching a ride and spicing things up when it landed.

I find it interesting that promoting an expensive product as an alternative ("Pure Life" by Nestle. Water, CO2, flavour) is INTERESTING while noting how to do the same thing for a cost that is close to free is OFFTOPIC.
Are the moderators just confused or are they product placement shills?
I drink reverse osmosis water with a squirt of organic juice in it.
The water I buy from a water store in re-filled 5 gallon jugs at $0.36 per gallon and the juice is from a $3 half gallon carton that lasts about two weeks at about an once per glass of water.
So the 8oz glass of water costs $0.02 and the ounce of juice costs $0.05 for a total of $0.07 per glass of healthy water with "non-chemical" flavoring.
In the US, regular broadcast TV had ads, but was free to watch.
Cable TV came out, and had no ads, because you were paying a monthly fee.
Now broadcast TV is effectively dead and you still pay that monthly fee for cable TV, where the cable channels are so full of ads it can be hard to tell the ads from the programming.
This is exactly correct, Verizon exists in a weird anti-communication bubble. You simply cannot contact them to resolve any sort of server-level problem.
I was an enterprise mail server support guy for a company that sells specialized mail servers to thousands of data centers.
One day Verizon started dropping one email out of every 12 that was sent to them, no matter who was the source or the content of the message!
I tracked it down to one of their 12 email servers that faced the external world, anytime a message went into that server it was for all purposes simply eaten, never to be seen again.
For literally months I went through the same human contact problem Penguinisto is talking about. I had never before discovered a company that you can't communicate with. It made me wonder how they could possibly remain in business.

Actually, from what I could tell, google+ was finally gaining marketshare as many thousands of users fled facebook.
Only to have the bridges behind and ahead burned so all the data they had shared would sink into the swamp and be buried.
Farmer teams with fox to protect chicken integrity.
I'd thought that, but it seemed so...understated. I'd go for "Great White Shark invited to assist with Kiddie Pool protection".

Yeah, but a 1990's style flaw in 2017? It's like they're not even trying.
It's weird how it's a surprise that such an obviously terrible idea is discovered to be a terrible idea.
If you can pay for Netflix, good chance you can afford YouTube Red and avoid those commercials as well.
Bought this in school:
Newton's Telecom Dictionary: Telecommunications, Networking, Information Technologies, The Internet, Wired, Wireless, Satellites and Fiber
Does what it says on the tin.
...time to move.
...that can be stolen with any camera phone! What could possibly go wrong?!

This is starting to sound like pulling out all your teeth to save on toothpaste bills.
