"but in fact had never taken the plastic “screen protector” off of the display when I received the device" Notwithstanding the awful condescending tone from the CS rep, I once did actually have this issue. I purchased a cheap smar

When I was traveling across Africa, I was told that thieves love the steal passports from US and UK Citizens since it was possible to be black and a citizen of those countries once the passport is doctored with a new photo. Much harder to p

I could not hit Spotify quickly enough. I am starting with "L’Amour de Loin". First "song" in and it is fairly comtemporary classical. I am just an amateur musician and I am amazed at those with those that could hear suc

For me, the main reason why I turn down Google's requests for interviews is blind allocation. Google wants you to go through interview after interview without knowing what role you might get. I am far too experienced to accept whatever

"None of the interviews asked about my ability to design systems, how to test or manage large-scale applications, how to gather requirements and work with customers." No company will ever ask such questions, which is mind boggling

I would love to move to Europe. As of now I am planning at least to retire in Europe (lack of high property taxes makes retirement easier). But the lack of jobs, especially interesting ones, in the warmer Mediterranean countries keeps me aw

You are correct. More than just banking, it is difficult to get a mortgage, investing in stocks/bonds, or even financing a car.

"I returned my U.S. citizenship" Did the author return his citizenship because of FACTA regulations? FACTA has made it very difficult for Americans living overseas. EDIT: the US has made it very expensive to renounce your citizens

The City of West Hollywood has installed delineators on its crosswalks to prevent further accidents. They have been effective in their goal so far, but are not going to be maintained since drivers keep hitting them and the cost to constantl

It depends on which context. Elasticsearch has abandoned their search engine origins and embraced logging and analytics. Those that work in NLP and text processing are still using Solr. The edmismax parser is far more flexible and you can e

I very much like the paid aspect to this approach. Not that I need the extra money, I am already financially compensated enough by my current employment, but it reduces the chances for the interviewing company to flake out after such a prog

I actually do not care for the Algolia search functionality. The previous search worked far better. Algolia has suggestion features built-in which cannot be disabled (synonyms? autocorrect?) which will return content that perhaps does not m

While I meant no "racism" my original comment, I did use the "rich white" adjectives. Race has nothing to do with it, my apologies, but classism still remains. I remember when the last subway extension was completed in t

Traveling is not for everyone, so it depends on your financial situation, but I do approve of the Africa recommendation. Absolutely loved southern Africa (South Africa up to Malawi).

Seriously? There is no mention of either only YC companies or the Bay Area in their FAQ or on their website. Tacky.

Perhaps the pitch call is done differently via Triplebyte, but for the most part, the initial non-interviewing phone call is with someone in HR or with little technical knowledge. Most questions are answered with "oh, let me find out a
