Let's not get hyperbolic and compare data mining to murder. If you think it's not OK that's your opinion, but do a survey among regular folk of "is it OK to have web sites mine your data to provide you with targeted ads

Then make us understand how can one pick up on the country (and a whole continent) of origin of SV founders and not be racist, what is the non-racist reason to consider the country of origin distinction relevant in a discussion about SV fou

I don't think it's that black and white. Yes, not having kids means missing out on certain (important) human life experiences. But so is if you DO have kids, it automatically means you will miss out on things that can't be do

Huh? Not worrying about something that could go wrong is just blissful ignorance. It's a very valid concern that should be accounted for in your big life decisions, you can't just hope for everything to go well because it almost n

All things equal (features that I need from the product) I like to buy high quality things because they make me feel good (they look well built, they give me this warm feeling inside that I got my money's worth). But I realize this is

Very good question and something I worried about too. I actually verified this in audacity against some lossless samples of the same albums I already had and the decompressed wav were bit identical for what I checked (interesting enough, th

Actually that's one possible explanation for why boys tend to grow more interested into tech today, that they become interested in videogames at early age, videogames that are mostly targeted for boys, so in order to "fix" th

It's not very well known but very surprisingly, it's the only legal place I found (for a US customer) to buy FLAC albums of obscure metal bands. Yes you read that right, we're not talking about current pop stars. For example,

Considering that everyone's text forms a unique signature given a couple of sentences, having the option (nobody is forcing you to use it) to have a bot compose emails for me seems like a sort of anonymity gain.

Let's not get over dramatic here. To sound natural of course the computer system has to copy natural behavior, which includes manners. The experimental version of this system happens to include behavior modeling of phone conversations

Why do you think so? For compute (non syscall bound) it should be native speed (just like a VM). For syscall-heavy operations it will depend on the syscall and how it's implemented and the backend processing. For example, if you call l

I don't understand your logic. You say that putting LGTB rainbows in a tool is not a political act and then go on to compare it with the civil rights movement, one of the major political storms of its time. Is it political or is it not

Don't dismiss the knowledge of store chains as something silly and bad. It's about life's little needs. You need to know where to buy tons of little items for the right price/quality and moving countries means all that k

Depends on how far back you go for "always", the source/destination of your commutes and the manner (walking, biking, transit, driving). 10 years ago I'd commute (driving) further for around 20 minutes, now it takes me 4

Depending of where in Milpitas and Sunnyvale there are some nice bike routes. 10 miles isn't a big deal to bike, especially if you go for an e-bike (and with this latter option it should be less than the time it takes to drive and you

If you're single I can see the advantages (beyond the obvious financial savings) of sharing an apartment. Doesn't really work as a couple/family. I was saving much less per month because as a couple we rented our own single b

It's highly subjective, I personally cannot stand temperatures below 15C or so, it's "painful" (yes, I'm a wuss). I haven't lived in Colorado but I did live in Europe and recently looked at the climate/tem

Like I said, a good interviewer ensures you understand the solutions of those problems (the problem might even be formulated in a different form than the exact form you learned) not just typing out text verbatim. If you do understand the so

How do you define broken? It definitely sounds like it's working for Google so going by the "is the process working for the employer" definition it isn't broken.

As someone that does lots of coding phone interviews I can say that yes, time is a factor. But it's relative, ie I'm comparing you to the time it took other candidates to solve the same problem. After all, we have to evaluate you,

I would say that if you know the answers to 100 top coding questions (and understand them, a good interviewer will poke you to determine that) then you are a pretty good coder and you should be hired. Seems working as intended :) For many t

If you're looking for more strategic gameplay instead of micromanagement, Starcraft isn't the best game to pick. Lowering the importance of high APM for a game like Starcraft through the use of smart macros is just a hack, why not

Ultimately if all you need to use the CPU for is After Effects CC then follow the results of that benchmark (or rather, follow the performance/$ for that specific benchmark). Otherwise, in general the AMD CPUs give more multi-core perf

You're right and it makes sense but how is someone like Google supposed to handle these requests case by case? Or are they supposed to hire an army of lawyers and send thousands of requests to be decided by the courts?
