This is the answer. There is no better period. There is better depending on the context. Can you imagine having all your conversations with your spouse in front of all your co workers? Their company size is only 25 people. I doubt they will

Pretty sure the SanDisk one would be legit. Look at the price difference between that one and the other ones to tell.

"never" is a strong statement especially if it meant that Disney, NBC, HBO could have launched online platforms years earlier.

What I don't get is why Netflix never licensed their technology to other platforms. For instance, why not white label their tech for Disney, Paramount, sports leagues, etc. Their tech is better than competitors and it would have been

I've heard something similar but that they'll stop service if you're out of the US for over 6 months.

That's why people get Executive Assistants once they reach a certain level where the demand on their attention becomes larger than they themselves can possibly handle.

You can't compare the past to today when cities in the past were merely thousands of people and the people were working with primitive technology.

Kind of funny using Victoria as an example. Having lived in Victoria on and off for the last 20 years I can remember the "tall-building ordinance" that finally got removed to allow for the construction of taller condos in the dow

When I took on a tech lead role, I began to understand the importance better of having diagrams available for key parts of the system. It just becomes so much easier to explain to people and get them up to speed. I often find myself refer

Not really the same thing. With diagram generation, the code is still the source of truth. There would just be a way to automatically visualize it. With code generation, you would program by diagramming up front and then the code would be

I think the best reason would be to consider what would happen in an emergency situation that goes beyond just yourself - war, natural disaster, etc. What would happen if you needed to flee with very short notice? What if an emergency cau

I do have childhood memories from the late 80s/early 90s where I remember them making the donuts in store. They were better and had a lot more varieties.

Another example is dishwasher detergent. I can rarely find the powdered stuff anymore. And even the gel is being pushed out in place of pods. I bought new detergent last week and the shelf was full of pods with only a couple options for

I can't reply to the sibling commenters but providing a contrarian opinion. I'm an interviewer and there's no way for me to tell who is just really good vs who has seen the exact question before. Telling the interviewer jus

I moved to SF 5 years ago from Canada. I worked at a small startup that got acquired and now at a pre-IPO company of about 1500. I had worked in a small city in Canada previously. I moved in my mid-30's which is later than a lot of

What's your next goal? It seems like you've accomplished all your goals and are wondering what to do next. Maybe it's not tech-related. Maybe it's time for something completely different where you can experience the st

Nuclear or chemical fallout that drifts into NATO countries could potentially warrant a response. Here's one such article from a few weeks ago. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/03/23/if-russi

> It's always the company's fault There's a basic expectation that people should be actually showing up to work. How can you possibly vet during an interview that someone will be flaky like this? Sometimes people just do

An important piece of context missing from the article is the size of their team. LinkedIn shows 0 employees and their about page lists the two cofounders so I assume they have a team of 2. It's odd that the article talks about the p

I'm not sure if it's the default but I know it can be change. If your company has chosen to go that route, that's on the company, not on Confluence. Anyone can edit Confluence pages at my company.

So my data like my name, address and birthday are exclusive property of American Airlines? I view them as more of a steward of my data. They have permission from me to use it but the ownership should lie with the individual.
