The most mind-boggling thing to me is that Google interns get re-interviewed before getting a return offer. You don't go through the whole process. I can't remember the exact numbers, but iirc the logic is that offer decisions are

I also have to add, most if not all of these apply to other big internet companies. Hell, Google took pride on all the information it could figure out about you even if you were logged out to target your search, didn't even show up whe

I think it's more likely this is to avoid problems with the slew of dating apps that depend on Facebook now that they're starting to roll out their dating feature.

More so than for copying, my guess is that with the release of the dating feature this policy could've probably caused tensions and legal problems with essentially all other dating apps out there. Dating apps heavily use Facebook not o

Being Jewish isn't his only defining characteristic. There's also the fact that he's a billionaire who is politically active. I would argue it's extremely disingenuous to not recoginize that the crowds that blame Soros f

It's definitely a branding strategy-- if you think about it, companies pay thousands if not millions of dollars in ad campaigns that don't "sell" anything. Think product placement in movies, those logos in the back on so

My interpretation: - Paying this small tax would help the homeless, but Jeff/Amazon would see no direct benefit from this. - Donating money has the direct benefit of positive PR. The last wealthiest guy in the world did it too-- so arg

Isn't that part of the problem? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall hearing from someone that the MTA sold a good portion of its real estate and so lost sources of income. I'm not all knowledgeable in this, so if someone wh

Ever since Trump was elected, yes. It's been climbing up from about $10 in November 2016 to the high $20s. Before that it was fairly flat, after being in free fall from the mid-$40s range in 2004, to like 5 bucks in 2009 (which is coin

Wow I'm so sorry to hear this. It's infuriating that companies think they can insert themselves in people's lives like that. Why not keep it strictly at "they sell something" and "we will go and look for that s
