I'm wondering why it's only 38%. They charge a lot and mostly work with volunteers. It should not cost 62% of what they charge to run a website to host some pdfs.

I have also noticed this in other HN discussions. Everyone seems to assume everyone else agrees with their view on the topic and there is never any open discussion about it. Usually people just talk past each other and it's never point

I don't know if it was mentioned here but another issue that many people have with Google specifically is it's perceived monopoly position and market power.

Have you considered that people might have different world views? Some might find 1. all advertising unethical 2. targeted advertising unethical 3. not consider advertising unethical 4. consider the product that is being advertised

They can make use of COBRA and use some of that money to pay for that.

But this seems to be an edge case where you have to rely on functional programming and experimental compiler flags to get the machine code that you want. Portability is typically not a big issue, because you can have a fallback C++ implemen

Protobuf is also used as a format to write data to disk.

Protobufs are very important for Google. A significant percentage of all compute cycles is used on parsing protobufs. I am surprised that the parsing is not doing using handwritten assembly if it's possible to improve performance so mu

How much have you studied for those interviews? Very few people could do coding interviews without studying on leetcode before.

I second the recommendation to looking into ADHD. That might also explain inconsistent results on the IQ tests. You are smart, but you are losing focus when doing them. However, in some countries ADHD is not taken as seriously especially if

Ironically, maybe confirming that people are interesting in those articles, I was curious what you can not do if fully vaccinated. There are two things you can not do according to the CDC: - Visit indoors, without a mask, with people at inc

I think that is mostly compensated by bachelors taking an additional year. I don't know if what parent comment says is true at all, but if it is I think it's because historically universities didn't have a Bachelor's&#x2

Where did you copy that from? I don't see the report linked anywhere. EDIT: I found the link further down the thread https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20210414/111451/HMKP...

I work at Google (the only FAANG company in your list). We would ask about it, but it's not a significant deciding factor. It might be a deciding factor if you get an interview at all, which team you are interviewing with and for which

I don't necessarily agree regarding FAANG. Once someone gets an interview it doesn't matter much what their previous work experience is.

I wouldn't take what someone says on substack at face value. Does anyone know if the unredacted document is available somewhere?

I think it what makes it look dated are the shadows and gradients. If they got rid of those it would look pretty modern.

I thought that the distributed part wasn't opensourced.

I doubt that it's a lot of money for these companies.

This is a good example of how human language is ambiguous. You should read it as in the worst case in prison and in the best case fired.

Is that very different from the Terminal in Vim 8.1+?

I have another hypothesis: People who are experts in the core competence of their companies make better CEOs.

When you see the suggestion you can select "not interested" instead.

Right, according to the tweet this is done based on feedback from creators.

If they have good arguments against unionization, I don't think it would be necessarily against their interest to have employees hear the other side as well.

by ma2rten 6y ago
Maybe those information sessions should be allowed, but require the company to give equal speaking to union representatives.

However, the CNIL hints that Apple’s definition of tracking could be too narrow, as it does not encompass reading or writing data from the terminal — meaning the use of trackers such as cookies. What is the terminal referring to here?

They never even said that. 1. Any YC advice does not apply to all companies, but only to startups. 2. YC has funded companies in many places. 3. YC is not in SF. 4. This announcement doesn't say anything about location.
