Well, you cannot buy stocks directly, just derivatives which I do not trust. You could directly lend or invest in a company there but the cash out mechanism can be highly restricted. So good luck with that.
face it. tech has the shelf life of fresh fruit.
1) Honestly, who doesn't? Everyone is biased. I am just telling you how I judge how people will integrate with my team. I have a rubric. Most people have some bias, e.g. 'no girls allowed', but try to hide it or are in denial.
2) but there actually is not enough information to appropriately judge
There never is. I can only look at resumes, references, and any public postings. How well a person *really* performs is only shown over a matter of time. But there have been time when I was not as critical as I should have been and it blew up in my face. My gut said 'no' but my brain rationalized things. I then spent 90% of my time dealing with a troublesome employee or team member. By the way it cuts both ways. I use the same method when interviewing employers.
3) The guilty verdict would come down, before the defendant even got to made their case repudiating all the apparent "evidence" from the prosecution.
If you want to find out what a person is really like observe them in unguarded moments. Not the front they put up. That is how you screen out sociopaths.
O'Reilly is that you?
It is not a crime, but it does indicate an attitude which makes me believe that a person who revels in such behavior will make a poor team player. I would infer that that persons 'sense of humor' and attitudes would make it difficult for them to integrate into a team of mixed genders, religious beliefs, and moral attitudes. Therefore it would make them a liability both in the legal sense and in terms of team cohesion. Since teams are necessary to get things done, a smooth functioning team is a necessity.
Therefore I would recommend 'Do not hire'.
Seriously, everyone now involved in that project may have made a serious career limiting mistake.
And if I ever see their resume come in to me for review recommend 'Do not hire'. If you cannot behave professionally, I have no patience for you.
So they can breath polluted air. Soon to become even more polluted due to deregulation in the US and lack of regulation elsewhere.
"It is blazing fast for small amounts of data with low concurrency."
Just about anything can be blazingly fast of you turn off logging, constraints, transactions, and cache the entire DB in RAM. Call me when you hit terabytes and then I'll take a look at your performance tuning.
Until then... later...
you can speed up any DB by turning off logging, relaxing constrains, and not locking. Which is essentially what many DB engines did to meet benchmarks e.g. MySQL and "NoSQL" DB engines. Until the loss of data integrity caused real problems and people started screaming about how they had just been screwed by the DB engine they were using. Then they got religion and are, over time, beginning to resemble PG and a real relational model.
We all know MySQL is not web scale

Just about every modern DB engine has something like it. If you are not even aware of it you should really learn more of your tool set.
