I had the same experience. I was straight up lied to by the salesmen. I talked about it to my bank, they were aware of the problem as it happens to a lot of people. BMO offered to open a new bank account, and move all my funds to it and close my account that goodlife tricked me into using.

I was told that I could cancel any time after a free trial. It turns out I was lied to. I went to see the salesman again as it was on my way. Telling him that I switched my accounts made shut up and look defeated. Felt so good.

When I used to use Facebook, I had it filtered because I avoid any targeted news headlines. I think targeted news headlines are dangerous because they can be used as propaganda devices.

I disagree too. I think that humor should be allowed on hacker news. I mean as long as the jokes aren't at the expense of the ideology of the majority of hacker news's users. In that case, that humor should be downvoted and removed.

Whiteboard problems work great as a general intelligence test if administered correctly. A well designed whiteboard problem will filter out people of lesser intelligence. This means the people you would be working with would generally be more intelligent. This is not a bad thing.

Furthermore, whiteboards are great communication tools. I spend some time on VRChat's whiteboard room teaching people various algorithms, and other abstract things to help me learn. Someone who knows how to use a whiteboard and communicate correctly would be a better hire than someone who doesn't.

If the company you work at uses whiteboard problems to vet interviewees, just drill them. With a little practice, you'll have a better chance.

I like to see this for what it is, piracy. If I want access to a paper, I have sci-hub and that's beneficial to me. I'm saying its a good thing.

Sidenote: those pictures are creepy.

I've owned an HTC vive for a while now. Throughout all experiences, the ones that stood out the most to me were the social ones. I thoroughly believe that the future of work from home meetings will be done in VR. Playing social games and being able to convey messages through mic + body language and hand gestures is a very interesting experience. I have communicated with people who do not have any microphones, using simple hand gestures combined with motion.
