This seems to be your 6th attempt to post the same article here (albeit with slightly modified titles). Are you doing this because you are genuinely interested in discussing with the community or because you are desperate for some internet

I am thinking about moving from US to London. So, I am curious to know why you prefer UK to US despite the salary gap. Also, do you know how does their healthcare compare?

I was until recently one of those people who insisted on finishing any book (or movie or TV show, for that matter) they started. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel closure . I dropped a few books ( Lolita , The Pragmatic Programmer , Kitche

In your system, one might not even be compelled to finish any book at all. Instead, read as much as you want, at any pace you want, and drop the book once you don't see any need to read it further - maybe you got bored or felt you&#x

I concur with your sentiments here. For instance, there are so many things brewing inside Amazon that I know I'll always have a new area to explore whenever I want. For e.g., the world is talking about building serverless architectures

A usual CPC (cost per click) that an advertiser is willing to pay is somewhere between 50 to 150 cents. Let's say it is 100, and you clicked on 10 ads in a month. So, Facebook earned $10 off you. Now, you should be willing to pay more

how are you coping with the hostile visa environment? I have stopped caring. I too work for a leading tech company. The way I see is that if the US doesn't value my expertise or experience, there are plenty of other countries that wi

The article is full of speculations like these. It's as if they didn't have enough content but needed to hit certain number of words.

I agree. When they must have started to monetize their platform through ads, they must have realized how useful their data was. For e.g., search engine advertising is based on customer's intent because they know what the customer is

One simple reason is that the Retail part of Amazon is a huge , probably the biggest, customer of AWS. I don't know true this is, but I could go one step further and say that they test a lot of new cloud technologies at scale internal

I have been wondering the same thing. How would that affect employees though? For instance, employee movement within Amazon is straightforward today, but will that still be the case if Amazon went the Alphabet way?

I don't think Whatsapp stores messages on their servers. They do only until they are delivered to all parties and delete after that. What will they even do with the messages if they stored them- they would be end to end encrypted and W

I hate Facebook, but I don't think the example you gave is accurate. Both your searches would only be recorded by Google. And why would Google share any of it with Facebook? The only way the data could have gone over is through a malic

2. Under the same fast growth, you may also hire a specialist for some technology you decide to get rid of. This would only lead to a very small (less than 3-5), if any, part of the 100 engineers getting fired. 3. They simply over hired.

May I ask what measures you take to stay safe? I am new to the US, got Netflix and Amazon Video but soon realized they hardly have what I am interested in. So I got myself a Vpn (BlackVPN, if that matters) and started using Popcorn Time. I
