My question is what do the apps do? That could easily be where the violation of the TOS is happening. Child porn? Fraud?
The lack of clarification is making the OP seem shady. Whats to hide?
If you would like to change the way the language works, hostile personal attacks are more likely to turn people against your cause.
For me the former situation leads to lots of bad feelings including irritation and incredible anxiety. I have often considered the latter type of situation fun times. For a lot of programmers difficult puzzle solving stress is good stress.
From what I have witnessed from current in-the-box hiring practices is a lot of extroverts get hired who are good at spin and presentation. Quite a few managers never detect that they are actually not great programmers because they are brilliant at sucking up and putting on a show. Those skills dont always hurt, but they shouldnt be considered a deal breaker for a programmer who actually gets good work done.
Best practice I have ever encountered is when interviewers give out interview questions in advance to allow to the interviewee a while to think about the problem in quiet.
I love the idea of short term contracts for both parties to suss each other out.
Even making eye contact with men was perceived as an invitation. I could do nothing right. I tried adopting local garb, covering, being a shadow basically. I wasnt even alone; I was with my boyfriend the whole time!
I dont know how to talk to people about my experiences there without sounding like a complete grump. I would never have been able to imagine how brutal India was for everyone, including women, without going. Thank goodness I could leave!
2. Spend as much time learning about yourself as you do about different career fields
3. Dont take advice from career counsellors or program advisors. In my experience most of the time they are sales people in disguise.
4. Talk to seasoned adults who have been doing what they are doing for a while (lets say at least 5 years). In most professions it is not weird to ask for an informational interview, and they are super useful. A lot of the time people you interview with will try and find you jobs or other leads.
5. Remember it is your life, not your parents. Making them happy wont necessarily make you happy and you have to live your life.
6. Volunteer (if you can afford to)
7. Travel (if you can afford to). check out youth/student working visas in foreign places.
8. consider if your personality and lifestyle is compatible with career fields you are considering. For example, if you like stability and routine, Film might not be your thing. If you like to move about and use your body as well as your mind, computer stuff might drive you batty. If you want a life outside of work, and dont want to be working all of the time, dont become a nurse, etc
9. Check out trades apprenticeships. Trades are high in demand, you get paid while you are in school (in Canada at least), you have a job most of the time, and at the end of it you make way more money than most people. If you decide the trade you have chosen isnt for you, you will at least be making enough money to put yourself through school again.
10. Meetup.com. Find a group that meets about something you are interested in and join it.
Mount your ipad on your wall and start calling it a telescreen.
Its kind of insane to suggest someone jump bail and flee their country without actually knowing their full situation and them as a person.
If my BF wasted thousands of dollars on something I might lose and something that will probably prevent me from easily sliding my hands into the pockets of my somewhat tight jeans (rings with stones are super annoying that way), I would second guess becoming financially united with him, but thats just me.
Dont get gobbled up by the consumerism surrounding weddings and marriage. Your GF doesnt want a fancy wedding and expects a cheap ring. So, thats good, she sounds cool. Dont tempt her to become a bridezilla. This is how that starts.
I think I get what you are saying, but if you could elaborate on what you mean by this, it would also be helpful!
:)
I WANT to go Open, and totally would if groceries were also Free and Open and my landlord decided not to charge me rent. We'll see where it goes and how much money promotions and event postings could bring in.
I am glad you are bringing that up though. I should start thinking about it harder.
Re nursing, it turns out from a survey of prospective users of the site that very few people are interested in looking for 'nursing spots'. I initially added it on the advice of a friend who was a very new, shy breastfeeder. I agree on your politics.
Money... not sure yet.
Thinking of charging a couple of bucks for people to post events/extra curricular lessons (festivals, summer camp, karate). Also thinking of charging a couple of bucks for businesses to run promotions in the popup info window of a their place in the map. Maybe later on the data will be useful for real estate, kinda like Walk Score. (??) Im more nerd than business, so I am having to think in new ways on the money question!
Were you on a mobile device?
It does/should prompt you to share your location so that it can zoom to your area accordingly. Did it not prompt you? (uh oh)
