Upper middle class as a household earning between 75k-127k is pretty surprising to me. Here in Phoenix, $127k is about the household earning you need to afford a 4 bedroom home ~500k/~2500 mortgage). I wouldn’t consider that an upper

Google does not have high hiring standards, you do not grow to a 160,000 person organization nor double the size of your cloud org in a year by having high hiring standards. Google has random hiring standards that are designed to give a p

The fact that suffix trees/suffix arrays can be built in O(n) is IMO the most surprising and "magical" result in computer science. To me, more surprising than median of medians/quick select. There might be more "mag

Was this person actually a Xoogler…? Who actually writes code in critique, or would say that they use “blaze” to test software..?

I think that's exactly why OP's idea will take off. Everyone is too scared to build a competitor. Airbnb started by spamming Craigslist with fake ads. Stripe started by accepting payments to a single bank account. Doing something

The good health/good energy/good looking period of life is like 30 years maximum. I would consider that pretty short.

This is funny to me as someone who participates in Christians @ Google and weekly prayer. The few coworkers outside of that who know of my faith are very accepting. I have never personally experienced any kind of discrimination, but perhaps

It is extremely tired as well. Any time there is a post about Netflix, or some streaming service, I always predict there will be someone in the comments section talking about their “sweet, open source Unix based media server” and how much b

Google probably doesn't care about the quality of it's search that much anymore. They've secured their position with all of the Android search toolbars in the world. And the "google it" verb. And YouTube's domi

How FAANG actually builds their recommendation systems: Millions of cores of compute, exabyte scale custom data stores. Good recommendations are expensive. If you try to build a similar system on AWS, you will spend a fortune. Most recommen

if you aren’t wealthy you are effectively priced out of the US law/judicial system anyway. If I took $5,000, maybe even $10,000 from you right now there would be almost nothing you could do because the legal efforts to pursue me for th

A pretty wild idea, but what if this is just a hash collision or id encoding bug going unnoticed? Some recommendation or news feed pipeline accidentally keeps boosting “Thinkarete” posts. Would be funny. It’s very unlikely that this is the

The "Bitcoin is destroying the world ecosystem and is awful" crowd is way too hysterical for me to take them seriously. They write about Bitcoin like it is a serious evil and injustice in the world. It honestly feels like they&#x2

Not very refreshing, considering the 100 total visitors this site will ever receive are likely highly paid folks in the software and technology industry, but it’s a nice gesture at least.

I like to put numbers to things. People give up freedoms when there is a chance they or many other people die. Look at 9/11, not only did we give up multiple freedoms, but subsequently killed many Americans and other civilians in the M

Maybe because they enjoy the interesting domain and challenges of the area, look at a project like Dolphin for example. Also, some people hold the view that things like information, media, code can not be “stolen” in the traditional sense,

Interesting.. It's somehow tough for me to accept that a "NP complete" problem can be solved with a regular language. You construct a DFA. Your start state has (string of toy length) transitions to every possible toy. Then th
