The blockchain has no support for this kind of feature. That's rather antithetical to Bitcoin. How do you propose to achieve this without a central bank figure?

Waiting more than a few minutes eliminates all in-person, food delivery, and probably most same-day delivery transactions. Who’s going to wait an hour for the purchase to go through for an Uber Eats or Prime Now delivery?

LLVM has devolved into complete garbage in Xcode for large Swift projects. Slowless aside, at least half the time it won't display values for variables after hitting a breakpoint, and my team has to resort to using print statements to

Thanks! And am I correct in assuming Slack just has a single target for the iOS app (App), then one for each App Extension? So the root source folders map 1:1 to build targets?

Interesting read! > No more dumping ground folders like “Helper” or “Utility” If you’re organizing by feature and you have one of these helper/utility classes that support multiple features, where does it live? Would you consider ea

Apples and oranges. Hotels.com is a middle-man. When you have a problem with your stay, you talk to the actual hotel, which has its own front desk, customer service, legal, engineering, business, marketing, blah blah blah, teams.

Tell us why you think 7,500 employees is too high, in order to implement, maintain, and grow an online lodging and experiences marketplace in 191 countries.

It's monthly, but yes they should add this information.

Yup. Costco’s Kirkland brand is another example.

Yeah, I’m really confused. The title says video backgrounds but they all seem to be static images.

If they advertise ability to record at 1080p and it's possible to push the hardware to 4K, that's not lying. This is not any different than an ISP selling a 10 Mbps plan when gigabit is available.

Maybe $COMPANY just expects their candidates to be able to use a search engine rather than quiz their recruiters on it, and anyone who can't do that is a non-regrettable loss.

The thing is, they don't have any information that you don't have access to, and they're not going to be able to set you up with anybody who does (e.g. a director, VP, or CEO). Any information they do have is already publicly

I'm sorry, but that's really embarrassing on your behalf. This is a lowly tech recruiter that has absolutely nothing to do with the warehouse and retail staff, and you're asking them questions that are suited for Amazon execu

I think either they are paid by Apple for the product placement, thus they must do whatever Apple wants, or they don't want to piss Apple off even if legally they could do whatever they want. The production company could say goodbye

If most of their employees live in high COL areas like Mountain View, CA, then the 200K figure seems very fair. Maybe even low.

Cost per employee can be much higher than their compensation. Maybe around 25% higher.

There’s an animation showing the face before and after. It’s better than a photo, in my opinion.

All the big companies hire for mobile in the Seattle area. There’s some startups too, but nothing like the Bay Area.

Amazon uses Chime internally. It gets the job done, but the UX is garbage compared to Slack.

The second one doesn’t appear to be a messaging app at all. Simple name collision?

I'm disagreeing with OP's suggestion that giving computer manuals to kids is a "fairly effective way to create world-changing computer engineers."

Shameless plug: you know what doesn’t rely on faulty style sheets? Native apps! Give Octal for iOS a shot. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/octal/id1308885491

You are assuming that OP and others are asking this for "fun". I think most managers would agree that firing people is the worst part of the job. Threads like these can serve as valuable places to share hiring/firing experien

I don’t recommend changing teams, unless you’ve found a perfect match with a manager you trust doing work that excites you. You’ll find yourself at the bottom of the totem pole, working on the worst projects, and having to spend year(s) to

> For instance, to think Jony Ive being even remotely responsible for the keyboard debacle seems preposterous to me. I can definitely picture a world where Jony’s ruthless push for thin and light resulted in the butterfly keyboard.

Instagram ads appear in feeds as normal posts. I would assume that they are not blockable.
