If you can't keep a job, maybe it's because nobody wants to deal with a racist scumbag.

fluency in [ mandarin | Chinese ] is a plus

Of course it's a plus. I'm likely to be hiring a group of Mechanical Engineers in the next six months, and I certainly want at least one of them to be fluent in Mandarin to make it easier to work with Chinese suppliers. It would be pretty handy if they speak Korean, Japanese or Hindi, too.

That's not an unreasonable requirement, given the need to work with manufacturing operations in China.

The department of labor found a statistical anomaly, and decided to try to nail Thiel for supporting Trump.

That said, we badly need a high speed rail network in the U.S

No, we don't. We have aircraft.

Air travel should be one of those novelty things that the lucky few can justify

Fuck you. I'll buy what I can afford, and your approval is neither sought nor required.

Both his and your examples are still a matter of "how you spell the instructions and registers". Just because the two machines you used don't have exactly the same machine instruction sets and so require different programmatic solutions doesn't change that.

"Assembly" is not a programming language.

Yes it is. So is binary or hex machine code if you want to write in it. I've coded in both assembly and hex. Been decades, but I've done it. Just because its use is uncommon today doesn't make it a non-language.

I am miserable because I need to sign the same three letters in my username

After they mismanaged the company for a few years, trashing our corporate culture and making all the employees miserable I found another job and resigned.

If you were an ethical person, you would have bailed as soon as the acquisition was announced.

miserable, judgemental jerk

Why would I be miserable? I don't have the taint of working for a criminal organization on my conscience.

Perhaps you lack the basic information that oxygen is the most abundant element on earth. It makes up close to half of the mass of the planet. We're not going to run out of it.

Would you mind telling us what company that is? I want to make sure I never do business with them.

I was a Senior Consultant at Andersen Consulting

Hey, thanks for the heads-up. Now everybody knows that you're not someone to trust.

Have you also worked at the NSA or any other criminal organization?

Andersen Consulting split off from Arthur Andersen before the SHTF.

Not before crimes were committed, just before they were discovered.

Andersen remains a pack of crooks, and hiring shills like you to spin the story doesn't change that.

"Accenture" is Andersen Consulting under a stupid-sounding name to try to avoid the stench of the Enron scandal. As an organization, they have always been devoid of any ethical qualms, and they should be ignored.
