Isn't this the case for most interviews? You could simply Google in almost all scenarios. Also, you can fail a single interview and still pass assuming all other interviews go well.

There’s nothing to get. They oversold what they were doing and VCs didn’t do their necessary due diligence.

I work there. Our attrition is not any different than other companies. We have magnitudes less engineers than the other companies mentioned, so most likely it's the few that interview on average are better from Dropbox than the average

They need folks across a tall vertical in order to scale to the number of people that they have so quickly: hardware, software, logistics, brick and mortar stores, marketing, tons of content, etc. Easy to see how they can quickly balloon as

It probably depends on what adjacent financial products they are selling and how good of a job they are doing at selling those to existing customers. Wealthfront is always suggesting different financial products, cards, etc. There is little

It's a completely different skill that you need to bring to the table. A retail employee just requires a week or so of training vs. a four year college degree (or similar experience) for an engineering job. Similarly, the skill that a

I think the system is somewhat democratic. This is what the board of directors chose as his compensation and they themselves are elected. Remember, that Apple is extremely large. These median salaries probably include retail store employee

Okay, not defending his pay here, but 1,400 median employee salaries is not that crazy. First, think about the valuation of Apple since Tim took over. Yes, it's not all attributed to him, but he has definitely made some very good decis

Well, this task is highly parallelizable. Is it not? Why would there be a central bottleneck that you could not scale out?

Yes, but you can't realistically create a web app for every spreadsheet that is out there. Only when it would truly add value to the team over the long-term, does it make sense. In my experience, this is done when the spreadsheet stops

The interesting thing with Tesla is that they are supply limited at the moment. Demand for outpaces their supply for the foreseeable future.

Same thing in Spanish. ‘Me importa un pepino (cucumber)’ is pretty tame. Most (region dependent, of course) would say ‘carajo’ instead.

Exactly this. It's not too hard to think about the intake of random requests a popular team may receive. Even code reviewing a patch from a separate team carries its own set of eyes, which is still work for the team. There's a ton

How would people validate ownership of an NFT when there could be hundreds of blockchains in the future? Would I have to go and verify each one of them to make sure my NFT hasn't been sold multiple times already?

Failing over to another AWS region is actually pretty difficult for stateful services. Especially if you can't even access data in the primary region at all. Most teams probably don't have the bandwidth to solve this problem given

To me, it's more about the idea than the actual action on display here. Decentralizing a process than is normally very opaque and centralized is what's being attempted and it's a cool idea. Whether this is executed well or no
