No, you just add a possible range for the result, or rather, that's what you would do if you had standard samples to manipulate with stearate coated gloves and run test after test against to see maximal and minimal levels of contamination when using said tools. Done correctly, this would let you know that anything above the maximum range is almost certain to be from actual plastics.

They never hire for skills, they hire for agendas.

There is damage inherent in humanity. Catholics call it original sin but even if you're not a believer, I think it's pretty apparent.

People are damaged which means it'll never happen that we all agree to uphold a moral standard. Should we do better? Of course we should. But reality is reality.

Where being a believer helps is in the fact that there is something good about all of this. If it gets bad enough, people start to reevaluate priorities and suddenly, more will stand behind that moral standard and things change for a time.

It's a painful process but it's also an opportunity. What can I say, my faith tasks me with beeing a bloody optimist. It's hard work ;).

Let him use these garbage "tools" and see where they will get him.

Well, you've just proven that you don't know what the term means if you think Europe is ultra-fascist. You can try to pre-empt disagreement all you want, if you're being a dumb-dumb, people will call you a dumb-dumb.

There are fascist tendencies. That I could agree on.

I've been the CTO of two companies, and I always look at the portfolio and ask the tough technical questions early. It makes hiring superfast and weeds out all the pretenders. I've made my best hires over random social media posts because I could tell they knew what they were doing and were trying to achieve things that aligns with what I need. Regular "HR-led" hiring starts in the wrong end with the "vibecheck" which of course all technical people will fail miserably.

Where is the liability?

it's important to know if they are leading by example.

They might pay a "fine" (bribe) to some court system somewhere to get away with it if it gets that far, but nobody will ever end up in jail for as long as the system is corrupt.

As long as someone is willing to pay (and in this case the US taxpayer unwillingly through the government), why should they even care?

They're giving GREAT tools into the hands of good people...

Until they're in the hands of not so good people.

People are not careful enough in these regards.

Yes and he is absolutely correct on the matter.

It means that they are run by narcissists. It happens too often these days. I want to undo this trend with every fiber of my body.
