Agree based on my experience at Amazon. 95% of the devs I met were extremely professional. Very little joking around, beer drinking, ping-pong, etc compared to other places I've worked. Granted 90% were white/asian males, so no

Really? This article sounds very over simplified, but I haven't worked at google so I wouldn't know. I'm assuming if you want to change some much depended on library, there's a way to up the version number so you don&#

Also, in addition to the other responses, excel is great for quickly modeling problems/systems with lots of inputs and outputs and calculations in between e.g. discounted cash flow.

Half sarcastic, maybe. But, genuinely curious about how they are managing the risk around scoping/estimation. Perhaps using overly conservative estimates or else assuming that on average their estimates will be close. Or maybe those

First, brilliant idea. Second, 10-minute guaranteed quote? Would you share with me this amazing estimate technology? I've been at it for 10+ years, having helped build a popular website from the ground up and can't estimate the

It's because The federal govt is making a nice profit off these low risk borrowers, which in turn subsidizes the high risk borrowers. Lose the low risk borrowers from your portfolio and your overall expected return drops. In more con

Determining professor tenure via student rating is obviously an extreme idea and likely to fail as outlined by many of the other comments in this thread. But, framing students as customers, is a worthwhile debate to have in the US given th

Yes, seconded. I read the article really interested in learning what level of capacity Rethink is capable of in the wild, but didn't get a great feel for that. It's not very helpful to frame database performance in operations pe

Last time I interviewed, I actually strategized to mention our infant multiple times when talking to people. If that will turn off some orgs, I really don't want to work for them. I ended up finding a job at a great company this way.

Unlikely for a bunch of reasons. 1) Amazon has a history of competing fairly with customers (e.g. Netflix) and wouldn't want to ruin its reputation in that regard 2) Big customers like dropbox make S3 better (power users + increased ec

Nobody is claiming a gold standard. With that said, I prefer windows explorer because you can simply type a path into the address bar (with tab completion if you need it) and navigate to a place on the filesystem. That's all. If fi

Yeah, but we're not talking about a asphalt sidewalk here. We're talking about a massive gondola system. There are far less invasive ways to make the park more accessible. You can currently ride a mule down to the colorado rive

Those are bigger ticket items with bigger margins than, say, a pair of sneakers so it makes sense for the market to command a higher price for those ads. Would be better to see total amount spent on ads for different categories, trended ov

I find this data very 'surpising'. Average rent in Rockridge: 1775, Average Rent in Fruitvale: 2300. For those not familiar, Rockridge is probably the fanciest, most expensive neighborhood in Oakland, whereas Fruitvale is a &#x2

Did you read the whole article? The value proposition is more that the company will send a courier to your home and take an unwrapped item to its warehouse to wrap then ship. Fulfillment by amazon requires you to do the wrapping and shipp

I think it's funny that the first picture in the article is of a doctor taking a patient's blood pressure. It's a little ironic because I've never actually had a doctor take my blood pressure (in the US). I'm not

Yeah, but Beane wasn't dealt the same hand as Theo Epstein, who had 2-4X the payroll to work with. If the A's could have augmented their strategy with a couple big free agents every year, it would be a fair comparison.

Neat story. Were there any provisions should Microryza go out of business? Not a lawyer, but seems that org would be legally compelled to flip the domain for a price much higher than 54k, which could lead to the domain being used for some
