   I'm sure this isn't the case for every project Google does with the US government, but do foreigners usually get placed on defense projects? Security clearances are generally limited to Americans, and exceptions are only given out

   I once worked at a place across the street from the gym they gave us memberships to. I did the same thing, and worked out at lunch. It was great.

   I did see an impossible meatloaf in a grocery store, and it looks like their website is showing ground beef. So it looks like they are slowly branching out into other products.

   What's the outstanding job offer, and what does the company do? But a great job offer doesn't mean the job will stay great, or that you won't decide to leave later. Plus graduating might get you better offers down the road. I

   Why wouldn't companies offer an equity refresh? I view equity as part of my compensation. So if my compensation dropped after 4 years I'd consider it a paycut and start looking for a new job.

   I've had a little less luck with wear on my QC25s, but repair was easy. I've just had to replace the earpads and the cord, both were easy and inexpensive repairs. And I'm happy with the noise cancellation.

    I thought a complaint was that Obamacare introduced a tax on health care plans that were unusually generous.

    I'm in the same situation, I just have a lot lower budget and still haven't bought a car yet. Have you checked out used cars? It looks like most of the depreciation comes within the first few years. And if you are moving within a

    I don't know, I really don't have much experience with either. But my impression is that the skills for both rapidly change. So I wouldn't attach any specific skills or companies to my longterm career goals, I'd want to

    Yeah, I have the same problem. Cords on my headphone are always the first to go. But it's not really an issue, my cheap pairs are cheap enough that I don't care, and higher quality headphones have detachable cords that can be repl

    What do you mean? SBIR grants are intended to support early stage innovation projects. They should be able to be commercialized, but too high risk for normal investors. That's not really the same thing as a moon shot program. And indiv

    I think automated drone inspection may be a more profitable niche than it first appears. My school had a couple grad students start up doing NDT analysis with drones. There seems to be a lot of interesting problems that could be solved with

    I picked up a mechanical keyboard, because it looked cool. I liked the idea of a higher quality keyboard, programmable functionality looked potentially useful, and I liked the looks of some custom key cap sets. Unfortunately I was not happy

    I kind of wonder if Netflix's decision to release a show a season at a time changes cultural success. All of those shows were weekly, so they stuck around in your head and in general conversation. Netflix you can binge watch, so after

    Yeah, I think some of the factors that determine if a show is a massive hit is outside of the direct control of the producer. I think Netflix will get some home runs if they continue to invest in them, and keep giving directors creative fre

    I'd be more comfortable with that explanation if it was from people in the auto industry. I'd like Tesla to have better QA than developers normally do.

    The issue I see is that there is a huge gap between something a company might find useful and something that could replace part of a hiring process. I'm not really excited about studying and taking a test if I still have a full intervi

    I was assuming communications would be private. Debt collection has a deservedly bad reputation, but I think any public communication would quickly become legally problematic. It seems like bad idea both ethically and practically if message

    I've heard responses from former Obama appointees that the documents in general were not surprising. They believed that Iran had an active nuclear program, was lying about it, and was hiding it. So they tried to create a deal that woul

    I think this is also a lifestyle question. Are you happy with your current home, and will you need a bigger house shortly? If you get a bigger house, you'll eventually expand to fill it. That might not be a great thing if you are happy

    I can see it both ways. I have heard that the original restrictions were too onerous on small banks. But on the other hand, a failing asset class will affect multiple banks. It's possible that multiple community bank failures could act

    I think this showed another more fundamental problem with Facebook. Their focus on increasing user engagement can end up putting users in hyper-partisan walled gardens. Then people can end up less willing to compromise.
