Seattle is soulless according to you? I’ve lived in Seattle and worked for Amazon when the headquarters was in a creepy old hospital up on beacon hill, and yes there has been change in Seattle, most of it for the better. Anyone that tells

I disagree, if you had the work ethic, you could study for a year on leetcode.com, and have a hell of a good chance at landing a FAANG job. Just practice those types of problems, apply to a bunch of different companies, do the phone screens

I blame government for laws that forbid students erasing these loans in bankruptcy, and for backing so many loans and grants in the first place. If there was an actual market, banks giving loans would do due diligence and provide loans only

This is true for EC2, but not at all for S3, which has always been developed in Seattle.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but what is the line of which workers to tip? Gas station employees do a similar job, and I have never seen anyone tip them. I have very rarely seen anyone tip a Subway sandwich worker even though they t

I see your point, but what’s weird is Twitter is banning these accounts and the press is freaking out about it. Why not let these npc memers continue to self own? Why interrupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake?

Agreed so much, don't Google engineers have this same issue switching between work and personal e-mail or is Gmail not used internally?

How far will this go? Banks refusing to finance his mortgage? Grocery stores banning him from buying food? He hasn’t done anything illegal he’s just an asshole.

I'm curious what you think about the cake shop denying service to a gay couple? Is that ok since they are free to create their own non-bigoted cake shop?

It's one thing to say such things in private over a beer, or even say something dumb on Twitter, but it's a real escalation to e-mail the person directly, with maps of pre-schools in the area, saying they are going to kill his kid

3. It's cool (and promotable!) to be a fighter pilot, and not cool to fly drones remotely or to program automated drones.

How about they want all the features of their expensive hardware to work? I’ve used Linux for 20 years and I cringe thinking about getting random WiFi, sound or blueray players to work. Much less properly suspending or using the correct po

Not only are tech salaries lower, the tech in Germany is shockingly bad. The mechanical engineering is world class, but try to buy a ticket online for the amazing train system, and it feels like using an Airline website from the 90s.

A thought experiment, what if in the past the ink and paper makers had banded together and prevented a newspaper from being able to publish? Is that OK because the ink and paper companies are private and not the government? There's be

I'd also add Evergreen State forcing a Jewish professor into hiding with violent threats because he refused to leave campus for the Day of Presence / Day of Absence.

Are you an official spokesperson for Google?

Good point, in fact there's plenty of folks on the other side who would like to replace all these programs with a more efficient system (aka basic income).

That's ok though because they are Nazis.

Oh I'm absolutely sure I could have found a bus or tram, but I literally got off new into the city and didn't know the routes or how to buy fare. Contrast, when I got to Paris and London, I opened the same Uber app that I have in

Will they be able to do it as well as google can? I guess as long as the stock price goes up. Cool man.

Google employees practically rioted when they found out their employer was trying to get a contract with the American Government, but will just cash their RSUs when they help the Chinese government censor its citizens. Sad.

So if China is long term going to be the end all be all, why are the Chinese elite doing everything in their power to get their cash and kids out of the country?
