i'm sure this is a very useful product, and i understand that "addict" contains the letters "AD", but naming something "addict" while half the US drowns in opioids seems a little weird

I'd love to ride my bike to work but don't really have a place to put it during they day; ideally, the building would have a large, relatively secure space with bike racks in the basement or something (which it doesn't; nor do most buildings, as far as I can tell). I doubt my bike would make it more than a couple of weeks with seat and wheels intact if I locked it on the street.

> It is time for engineers–especially excellent engineers for whom demand is high–to start to flatly refuse to do whiteboard interviews.

This might be a viable strategy for people who have a well-established career/credentials/references (etc), but for junior-level candidates still trying to prove themselves (such as myself) I can't see this working out too well.

> If he says something now, the reactionary portion of the GOP will take the opposite position as a knee-jerk response. It will become a larger news item and the GOP will have inherited the fallout.

Yeah, exactly. It's a pretty savvy way to drive a wedge through the GOP, and you already see the obstructionist crowd (e.g., Ted Cruz) playing right into it.
