The thing about the immigration debate in this country is that neither side can agree on the severity of entering our country without papers. You just compared it to robbing a bank. I think of it more like jaywalking. The thought that a chi

This should be a big part of the conversation around self driving cars. If we added some basic markers and beacons to our roads we could have self driving cars a lot sooner. Start with the interstates, we'll save a ton of lives and bri

They'd rather deal with one lawsuit from him than the hundreds from every person who has ever worked with him that isn't a white male.

Seriously! I have strong opinions about the role of women in our industry and society, as does pretty much everyone. But ignore the gender/culture argument and replace diversity with "Foo". The stated goal of the organization

Most people don't want to work with jerks, and in a libertarian ideal would be free to choose whether to do so. Most companies choose to get rid of jerks for a ton of sensible reasons. In a libertarian ideal they'd be free to choo

I think these types of questions are a good filter for the big tech companies, just in a different way than most suspect. What these types of interviews filter for is... - People fresh out of college and therefore relatively young. It would

I imagine this depends on how you define "best". The most impressive/challenging work right now is probably in AR or self driving cars. If "best" is based on code quality or productivity, well, that's kind of s
