For startups I agree, they should definitely customize their interview rather than copying big tech pattern. The kind of interview you describe is something Stripe also does, but I have seen even this resulting in non objective selection cr

Yes, it does. Just likes it helps in Maths or Physics Olympiad or any other ranked entrance examinations. Patterns are there in most real world problems as well, the more you have tackled before, the easier it is for one to see a pattern. J

The main difference is the audience of both is different. Leetcode works like this. Company A is asking these 100 questions with this frequency; let me solve these questions so that when I encounter these in the interview I can solve them t

Why is it a joke? It is like any other sport or Olympiad, it involves solving faster, accurately and potentially of problems you haven't seen before. There is no direct correlation between competitive programming like CodeJam/ICPC

Ah, that would explain the multiple patches that came in last week on my 7 Pro. I thought it was strange.

Wrong advice. If you want to be leveled up fast in a FAANG, you should start in one. I know of 4+ YOE people jumping one level per year, they are an exception but the argument is, it is faster if you are born into the culture, rather than i

A forced 12 hour work day doesn't make people achieve more, but if you have to compete with others whose output is 1.3x of yours by putting in those extra hours, people will do it with efficiency. > Although a very very highly educa

That seems like a good counterpoint. Let me read what gives the Dutch that advantage.

I am not sure how in a totally integrated free market world, a country like UK can compete with US or China. The amount of funding US can put into new areas like green energy and the internal market and capital it offers is something UK can

Ah, thanks for the insight. That would make sense, I will try to probe around more to see if it is possible to make them more accessible to other media publications as well.

If we are so fearful of this, and banks are so core to the economy, why not just have government owned banks then, since it seems like government has to subsidize mismanagement.

Oh please, these are just excuses. If you want to reap the benefits of capitalism, you should also get punishment for not doing the job well. Getting a haircut above the insured amount was the sensible thing here.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It is a mix of a direct answer or a site for me, but I don't want a future where small guys get killed in intent based actions as well.

Don't worry, it is highly unlikely Google doesn't offer someone who has already cleared HC. If they slow down, it would most likely mean it for new candidates who still haven't finished the interview process.

Extremely stupid decision to rename it. Out of all their products only Oculus has overwhelmingly positive brand name, I don't know why they will want to change that. Would make more sense to build stuff around the Oculus name.

Guardian's reporting always had a very left lean, I am not sure if this is new. There is a section in left of environment activists which sees nuclear as very dangerous.
