For now

This article was deeply unsatisfying, leaving the reader without any adequate conclusion. The tone of the article appeared to be "philosophical" in nature but it is difficult to glean anything useful or interesting - the "meat" just isn't there. I don't think this will appeal to many here and I found the article too self-absorbed and lacking to be of any interest.

As someone who had relatives die just before an exam and who proceeded to write (and fail) said exam, use the deferral if you need to.

I don't think this article is relevant or convincing. None of the arguments were particularly good and the author gave me no reason to care. I expect a higher standard of quality on hacker news.

It was a post by a developer recounting his experience with a particular recruiting agency. Basically, he was given an interview through an agency TestDriven Recruiting (or something similar) for a job outside his home country. The agency agreed to split the costs of travel. The interview was in January, and he hadn't been reimbursed by March. After multiple attempts at contact and requests for payment were ignored, the OP threatened to post on social networks. At this point Test Driven finally replied, stating "no timeline was agreed upon, we pay at our own discretion" or an equivalent message. It's unclear if the OP has been reimbursed at all at this point.
