Telling a smart kid they are smart is good for confidence. Telling a dumb kid they are smart sets them up for failure.

Intelligence can be a liability when you are surrounded by people who continuously spew a stream on nonsense from their mouth holes. When you know every word coming from someone's mouth is utter bullshit, lies, misunderstandings, or misdirection, it's not appropriate to blame poor social skill when you treat that person like a worthless piece of shit.

I've worked in the field for 15+ years now, and I know of very few colleagues who would take issue with importing a talented coworker who has every intention of naturalizing.

Yes, because everyone growing their own food is the path to national wealth and quality of life.

Ummm... the people were angry they setup an ebola hospital in their neighborhood. I think they're at least vaguely aware of modern medicine and germ theory or they wouldn't be distraught about the disease center being close to where they live.

It takes very little time and money to hire a firm in India to build this. Once built, there's little reason to improve it.

It simply doesn't matter. The job applications process doesn't affect corporate branding and is intended - primarily - to weed through a huge number of candidates and reject the vast majority of them. There's simply no value to spending time making these systems good. One might say they even serve to weed out people not dedicated enough to deal with the bullshit.

The one exception is if you are web shop looking for developers. Then your application process better be flawless or you're going to attract some pretty terrible applicants.

That's ridiculous. We already lived through centuries of society where it was easy to measure physical strength when physical strength was a strong indicator of work success. This did not lead to the stratification of the physically weak from the physically strong.

Non-publicly traded companies have some leeway with how they do their accounting. This is especially important for startups which may not have a relevant example to fall back on. Just because their accounting didn't meet HP's standards does not mean they were "cooking the books".

MessageEase (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exideas.mekb&hl=en). It's totally worth the learning curve. I can now manage to touch type on my screen with full access to capitalization and punctuation and no autocorrect.

You can believe all the misinformation if you'd like, but every single one of those people dies from heroin. Cocaine is a very safe drug (though highly addictive).

Android has also done the same for quite some time. This is going above and beyond those feeble measures.

Yeah, because single point of failure is exactly how you want to perform security.

Since I never tied myself to being an iDeveloper, no, I have to concern or fear over the purported implosion of a pointless indie game market on a second-rate platform.

What?

Not in the US. IQ tests are not uncommon here. There's a social stigma against using them, but there's nothing even close to a ban.
