By your same logic, participating on HN is free labor to a VC firm. I don't see how you can draw the line with a general-purpose extension other than simply actively avoiding things you don't want to do through your own volition.

No. They are as academically rigorous but not nearly as good for networking or upward mobility

Are you an MIT graduate? I am told the recruiters don't accept job applications, they only reach out to people directly to invite them to apply.

Regardless of school, I would be hard pressed to find someone in my engineering organization who is an extroverted native English speaker with the very high EQ needed to hack it in sales. We're all better at working with computers than

If Harvard went away, I would be VERY happy. Schools like Tsinghua, IIT, and C9 are much more meritocratic. Oxford / Cambridge are also very "exclusive" in the worst way possible, and given the history of the early US, it&#x2

Nope, I worked at two FAANG companies and with not a single Harvard or Stanford graduate. I hosted an intern from Stanford once who received a top of band return offer and rejected it for a "better option." I had one coworker from

Nobody cares where you graduate from school in engineering. It's all about what you can do, and in larger corporations, also how politically savvy you are. Most of middle and upper management (VP / SVP) also has degrees from no-na

If you are able to push through the pain and exercise, I have heard it can be helpful, even if it's just light stretching. You might also want to get checked for sleep apnea. I know far too many comorbid cases of chronic pain and sleep

I'm guessing food, car payment, gas, insurance, it adds up. Also, your comment comes across as really inappropriate.

You're at work doing a job, you aren't getting paid to converse about non work matters. If working at say Coinbase or any other apolitical tech company isn't your cup of tea, then there are plenty of politically charged place

There's no grounds for a lawsuit for the at-will employment contracts you typically see with West Coast tech companies.

It's not difficult to infer what OP metaphorically meant from the tree diagram in your linked article.

That just doesn't make any sense. You can't even rent an apartment for less than $3,000 in SF, let along think about buying the average $2M house. What is the discrepancy? Maybe these folks all ended up buying their houses 30 year

If you read up on it, that's the actual name of the signal though, exclamation point and all. This isn't some intentional doctoring on OP's behalf to garner clicks.

What is the Linux driver situation and how is it bad in ways that other non-Windows FOSS OSes would be able to mitigate?

Ah yes, the think of the children argument. This is why other nice things like chemistry sets and science fiction / fantasy books are also banned.

That's just the first year out of school pay. It goes up to mid six figures quickly once you get a promotion or two.

What do MPHs even do? What kinds of jobs do they get, and how much do they pay? Sounds like a very low ROI degree. If you're interested in getting an advanced education in the healthcare field, you might as well either get an MD (to ma

Ethereum was the first cryptocurrency that does decentralized general purpose computation aka smart contracts. Filecoin decentralizes storage. Avalanche has the first Byzantine consensus mechanism (within a reasonable bound, read the paper)

What kinds of returns and from what initial investment? If you got into crypto in the time leading up to 2013, 2017, and 2020, you could have 10x'd your bag easily. I suspect having a technical understanding helped appreciate the value

I probably would have funded the guy (haven't seen the graveyard myself doing these interviews over the years, TBF), too, or at least kept in touch, as mwseibel did. The article made it sound like this wasn't lashing out in an inf

I'm personally skeptical of religion in general. There are two religions mentioned in your linked article: Judaism and the Amish religion. That said, Israel has even encouraged Orthodox Jews to take the vaccine. As for the latter, I hi

Sure, so the power dynamic is in students' favor to push back on something unreasonable, unlike with employees.
