This is a nice little test to give to applicants for
tech or engineering positions:

+5V--------b

It's an average NPN transistor.

What's the emitter voltage? Current?

What's the base voltage?

What's the base current?

What's the collector current?

Will anything get hot?

Any other comments?
Last guy I interviewed, we spent a couple of hours at a
whiteboard, doing the first steps of an actual VME module
design. After I hired him, he finished it.

John, you are right to ask simple questions like that.
I did the same to some applicants in the past, my
favourite was: Here I have 12V DC, and a 12V relays, and I
need to drive this with a uc output 0-5V, can you draw a
circuit? If they forgot the diode, then forget it.
But those guys mostly got it right.
But it is not always so straight-forward.
Once the guy I selected (actually the best of them),
was not liked by the Big Boss, and once an other chief
tried to bribe me to recommend an other guy, who came via
an agency where his wife worked, likely he or she got some
provision. I did hear huge fights on the telephone about a
black technician too, 'as blacks would be lazy'.
Now and that in a country that has no discrimination.

No, that *is* discrimination, of the worst kind.

Well, it's not quite as bad as a lynching.

Lynching's assault, not discrimination. And it's in-your-face
(if it
ever even happens any more), so you can fight it. You have
recourse. People get arrested and put away for it.

Ok, but denying life is still a tad worse than denying a job,
both based on skin color.

In Jan's example you'd be unable to get a job but never know
why. That's wrong.

It's rather wrong to hang, or drag someone to death, based on
skin
color too. Because it is "in-your-face" doesn't make one any
less dead.

That they have that stereotype *is* discriminating against
people based on their skin color; that they feel free to cite
and discuss it as a factor in hiring means it's tolerated.

No argument, here. My disagreement with you was with your
hyperbole, not that discrimination (based on skin color) is
somehow "good".

I'm amazed that countries that regularly throw stones at America
think nothing of discrimination we'd consider abhorrent.

Sure. Many don't see their hatred of Jews as being just as
reprehensible.


What about Catholics vs Protestants? Can you say Belfast?

What about them?

Just some wars, persecutions etc.,


How about the War of Roses

Funny movie.


I was not referring to the movie.
