So all Google services are guaranteed to disappear?

You can say the same for every early-stage startups since most of them die anyway.

I'd take take-home over whiteboard interviews. Even with whiteboard interviews, you still need to prepare for them. I would say I probably spend at least 8 hours preparing for them mainly because of its arbitrary nature. I have no idea

So what if they sunset this service? The worst thing that could happen is you go back to going physically to the store to buy groceries. It's not like you won't have the ability to buy groceries if the service stops. I personally

In addition, Take-home test is better because it is more flexible than an in-person or even phone interview.

SF taxi? I barely remember since it's hard to find one. I tried riding a taxi once and the driver was rude and didn't want to do multiple dropoffs so we got out right away.

I guess this is where diversity is needed. If they have an African-American engineer working on the product, they would have detected this during development.

How is it not harming them? Sites make money thru advertising and you block those ads. Paywalls don't work for everybody.

How much time have you actually spent in SF? As an SF Bay Area resident since 2009, there's no better place if you want a career in tech. Yes, you can still have a great career outside of SF but it's a lot easier here. I have live

Does Google Fit handle heart-rate data? It'd be great if I can access my data there. Nice work! I've been looking for something like this.

I'm pretty sure that same question was asked decades ago. Here's a story of urban development in SF during the 50s. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-11-09-245099...
