What were the three questions?

Out of curiosity, why do you think the content is worse than IRC. Slack seems to me to be the same type of instantaneous communication as IRC.

It's definitely possible. It was a startup, I think they only had a few thousand employees. But I think applied in the fall. So their intern program probably filled up really fast if it was full.

I don't know what their criteria was. I guess they could have skimmed it for a few seconds. I actually just had a classmate tell me that they just had an interview for an internship at that company. But I can say I do have a good resum

I once got a rejection from an internship application late one night a few hours after I applied. I wouldn't be really surprised if I had been automatically rejected. And my rejection might have been because the state university I went

True, but studying the theory gives a better intuition for big-O. And theory is helpful for some of the edge cases that can be more complicated. For instance, I wouldn't want to try to determine the run-time of a recursive algorithm wi

Do you think that your intuition for not doing something stupid came from studying the theoretical side of cs? Sure, you should be able to get a good idea of the runtime of code without spending much time looking at it, but I'd say pe

Their plan seemed really unfocused too. They wanted to create a major website just to run ads on it. I agree, this just looks like a con.

I think it might. The article mentioned that one response by companies was that the conclusion of the report was not supported by the evidence because some of their prisons primarily contained non-citizens, and that population had different

The two groups are headed in different directions, they are just selling the same product now. I'd be annoyed as a customer if I needed to figure out the difference between two companies products and it wasn't clear. They need som

Yeah, I even remember a rumor going around that they were dropshipping for some items. If something was out of stock they would get it from newegg or amazon and send it to you.
522.
by chris11 10y ago
I think they've been spending a lot of money getting new users. They've been offering new accounts discounts, I think you can get 15% to 20% off right now. They've had a bunch of items show up on some discount shopping forums

How do you handle the separation between home and work? I've noticed that when I am working for an hourly wage at a business I appreciate not having to think about work after I leave.

by chris11 10y ago
I've also heard that it's a good idea to stop at a point where there are some very easy things that you need to do, even if you might need to introduce some errors to get to that point. For instance if you were writing a paper, an

That sounds very similar to BJ Fogg's tiny habit's program. He adds in the idea of tiny celebrations and doesn't talk much about consequences or including other people. But he runs a free email program nearly every week that

I haven't been meditating for long, but I prefer to think of it more as an observation of yourself. Just focus on your breath and maybe count. Count how long you breath in and out and keep that number the same, or count the number of b

I couldn't guess why hotel rating negatively correlates with wifi quality, but the correlation for cost of wifi makes sense. Higher quality hotels in big cities are more likely to get business travelers, and business travelers are more

And I haven't heard many good things about FireOS. Their phones haven't done too well.

Where are you currently in your career? I'm kind of curious, because I never hear of compensation packages normally going up that high. So I'm wondering what skills companies are looking for at that price.

I'm sure their employees have signed NDAs.

I recommoned BJ Fogg's tiny habits course: http://tinyhabits.com/ . It's a really simple and easy free email course that shows one way of creating new habits. How do you like those two apps? I'm currently tryi

Yeah, there really wasn't anything surprising in the blog post. The prep work was somewhat interesting. But all the info looks like stuff easily available elsewhere. And I didn't really learn anything unexpected about Amazon'

How successful have you been in negotiating your options? Have you negotiated significantly more options/money or different terms?

Yeah, I think that being president requires access to classified material. And I believe that the voters electing someone president should be enough to get them access to that material.

I think there is a difference between administrative consequences and legal consequences. And Comey was running a criminal investigation. I think that she should not be able to get a security clearance for any unelected position. I don&#x27

by chris11 10y ago
Out of curiosity, do people think that Comey made this recommendation based on politics? This report definitely proves that this scandal is serious. But I can't really think of any reason that I would find this report to be more credib

I didn't read it as necessarily knocking those languages, but saying most programmers had experience in those languages. And most jobs did not ask for any unusual skills, so companies should be able to find decent local developers.

I wouldn't exactly say that the system has let Kim off at all. Sure, he hasn't spent any serious time in jail, but it's just because the U.S. hasn't been able to get him extradited. In fact they've pursued him so ag

That's true I guess. I did transfer from a really small college to a big state school with a decent cs program. It's not a top college, but we do get a ton of money for research. And I did notice a huge difference in opportunities

by chris11 10y ago
Do you think going to a better college would have made much of a difference in job opportunities? It seems like some of the larger tech companies do a lot of recruiting at state colleges.
