Comment HR a hurdle not a filter, we pay the price (Score 0) 37

In hiring, HR should only be a filter to weed out the liars, the loons and the chancers, so qualified applicants can go on to demonstrate their technical and personal suitability to their future bosses.

Instead, for well-qualified people it is a ridiculous hurdle to surmount, not controlled by the C-suite, and only passed when applicants have satisfied the HR feminazis that they may not be a disabled black transexual, but they do want to identify as one when they are older.

This HR hurdle is why the civil services of some countries are staffed exclusively by wholly incompetent but oh-so-diverse jobsworths, and why it is so hard for anything but left-wing governments to get the policies actually implemented.

Comment Is Matter open ? (Score 3, Insightful) 49

I would like a good, open smart home solution.

One that can't be made obsolete when the manufacturers get bored with it.
One that doesn't route everything through Chinese or *any* external servers.
One that open source hardware and software developers don't have to pay a license fee to make stuff for.

Does Matter meet my requirements ?
