I wonder how dependent Google’s hiring pipeline has been on just having a huge % of every qualified candidate attempting to get a job at Google? If that is the case, then the interviewing process just needs to be good enough to have a low f

Nothing beats manually copying hundreds of lines of b&w code from a book and missing some syntax and having no idea why. Actually, punch cards beat this.

It’s all bot or paid traffic. Never heard of them before this article. This was a good quote: “I’ve never heard an explanation of Ozy that made sense to me,” said Brian Morrissey, the former editor in chief of Digiday, a publication coverin

James Lovelock's last books certainly would agree with this. Perhaps we may get lucky and some event could throw things the other direction, like a large meteor impact or wide scale nuclear weapons discharge (leading to a lengthy nucle

Here is my first hand experience from roughly 15 years of working from home at this point, with a little office time mixed in. This is the right approach from an ergonomic standpoint - cycle through how you sit/stand while working and

Is it still written at a grade school reading level? It was kind of like news for dummies but a step above watching it on TV.

You should read more history books. We could also resolve every problem you listed and then get nailed by a meteor and have a total extinction of all life of earth. 100% possible.

And this applies to everything, not just source code. I’m just presuming we have a future where you can consume unique content indefinitely. Such as instead of binge watching Star Trek on Netflix you press play and new episodes are generate

Compare the CEOs of Google and Apple. The contrast explains everything. Every year I keep thinking Sundar Puchai’s ouster is imminent but it has yet to happen. Which perhaps explains Google’s disfunctionality even more.

One contrast between Microsoft and Google is that Microsoft doesn’t repeatedly break working products and confuse everyone with changing names around yearly. Microsoft has a long history of failures from Bob to the Zune, but their core stuf

More than that, consider what percentage of the worlds population can be imprisoned or executed for things we in the West would consider mundane activity. The greatest moral failure of Silicon Valley and American tech was enabling human rig

In the immediate term, instead of competing with people in a 60 square mile radius, you have to compete against the rest of the country. That’s great if you are really good at what you do. If you aren’t, it isn’t. Also remote workers are ea

It’s amazing how antithetical this is to requiring real identity. Proponents say anonymity is the cause of spam and all sorts of unwanted content online. Yet using one’s real identity can end up just being terribly inauthentic.

In consistently dangerous intersections it can actually be much safer not to cross at the crosswalk. You are basically in a situation where it is perceived as safe because you expect the cars to stop; however, if they don't stop, you a

10% is when the restaurant is extremely successful. Average margins are lower than that. Arguably there are way too many restaurants, in part due to low interest rates. If there were fewer restaurants, the volume would go up and the average

It is like driving down the street by looking out the back window. You are confident there isn't a dump truck parked in the middle of the street, because you didn't see one in the last 3 blocks.

If Intel couldn’t keep up with the latest fabs I can’t believe an automaker could start from 0 and have any remote chance of success. Volume would be too low to make it work financially even if they could.

A hacker that was able to hijack the mining pool just for malicious reasons could do it. Maybe they are motivated by not liking Bitcoin energy use. The better argument here is that 98% of cryptocurrencies are very cheap to 51% attack, and t
