This is the correct answer. The interviewer is only the to gather data, the hiring committee makes the decision and they need concrete days to look at. "Take my word for it" doesn't fly as an interviewer.

I'll second this. Neither side really instances the other side and many buy into the headline narrative that the other half aee basically all extremist nutjobs.

"Official" is mostly about who they consider the customers of the product when making a decision. If the project is officially open-sourced, that will be taken into consideration when project priorities, re-orgs, and direction occ

I wonder what an active user is defined as for Twitter. Tweeted? Scrolled through their timeline? Read an embedded tweet on a news site? Dismissed a mobile notification? For a platform like Twitter (or Facebook for that matter) it seems rel

Considering that it's a DRM module, it's not a surprise. I believe anyone with a DRM module that does not protect it is at risk of losing their license with the content owners. That basically why DRM exists to begin with. Blaming

Pretty sure I first heard about them pulling these tactics over 10 years ago. Sad it's still ongoing. IIRC, after Godaddy blew up with their Superbowl commercial they've been ratcheting up the scam factor in every way possible. Ju

If you're qualified to work for a team that's hiring, transfers are pretty easy. I work for GOOG outside CA and know a lot of coworkers who transferred teams within the company from out of state. Lateral mobility is something of a

In 99.9% of cases you don't. It's mostly spam. Facebook is a friend platform, not a stranger platform. Don't use it to message strangers, it's very explicitly not what the platform is designed for.
