yeah, eric stepped down in 2011 and larry took over as CEO and from the inside it felt fine for a while. but larry definitely got disinterested after a few years and the company felt rudderless by like the end of 2014.

i keep thinking about this google arc. I was there for nearly a decade (at this point i've almost been gone for longer than I was there) and from the outside, the company is almost unrecognizable. it is definitely not the company that

why would you expect that? I've been rejected from a few jobs that I've applied to at this point. honestly, this was the only time I can remember that it was an email, let alone an email from a no-reply address. every other time I

I once got a rejection letter from a recruiter, complete with the boilerplate, "we'll keep you in mind for future positions" from a noreply@ email address.

from the video, I got the impression that cloudflare has a pretty standard 3 month ramp up period which, for her, ended right about thanksgiving. so it's not 5 months with no sales, it's a little over a month. and that month has t

the flight plan doesn't have any bearing here. norcal approach isn't (and shouldn't be) expected to know the SOP's for every company in the world. the flight's clearance limit was to SFO and they were being given th

it's not about arriving "on time", it's about telling approach what they needed early so approach can fit the request into their plan. and, at least according to the initial video, they didn't until they were being

100% of those tips go to the driver, and not in some sort of scammy door dash way that means uber pays the driver less. so it's important to note that "tricking" people into tipping more doesn't help uber's bottom l
