They never use the word "affordable" in that sentence. They just say that it's less expensive than the XS, which is true.

I can only speak to one office so I shouldn't have assumed it was the case company wide. I only know two things: 1) At the office that my friend (who is also an interviewer) works, there is a pool that the interviewers collaboratively

At Google, questions are chosen out of a predetermined question pool. It doesn't matter how many interviewers there are. It's small enough that your interviewers leave a note on a piece of paper at the end of each round indicating

The biggest lie you're told as a candidate and in any "mock interview" video a big tech company puts out is that the interview is collaborative. "They aren't your interviewer, they're your co-worker!" Go w

Another reason to rotate questions more frequently and maybe a reason interviewers raise their standards over time is because there are large forums out there dedicated to cheating and sharing solutions for any notable tech company. As more

I agree. That's why I specifically implemented the uBlock filter for any posts containing "your friend was tagged in ___" or "your friend commented on ____". 99.9% of those posts were meme posts I had no interest in

Unfortunately, some insecure developers sign up to be interviewers precisely to feel superiority and power over interviewees. I've both worked with and been interviewed by some of these people - they seem particularly prominent in the

It seems unlikely you'd be convinced even if I sent a censored video of my feed, but anecdotally it seems I'm not the only one: https://www.fastcompany.com/90166955/i-have-a-secret-ad-free...

No, 99% of my time spent on Instagram is on my phone. I have never seen an advertisement on there or on the desktop site. My hypothesis is that they have some threshold that "every N posts we insert M ads" and because my feed does

Personally, I don't use FB anymore even though I still have an account. I use Messenger to keep up with my closest friends and I use Instagram for photo sharing and general life updates. I don't follow anyone who I don't actu

Agreed. List comprehensions are where I see them being the most useful and where, in the past, I wished the functionality had existed.

Care to elaborate on why you think social media is a net-negative and a "tumor" on society?

One takeaway from the study that's often ignored on Hacker News, likely because most users here don't use Facebook or have a negative view towards the company, is that the majority of FB users place a real value on its service.

I'd rather they go after Equifax first, thanks.

I would rather not reveal my city for privacy reasons, but Google Maps also only shows the fixed "schedule" and no real time estimates. I was not aware about GTFS, but I'll read about it and try and contact the city council m

I would love to see this come to more cities. I live in a major north American city where public transportation is run by the local government. They have an official transportation app, but it's a buggy mess that's just a wrapper

Sounds like you just obnoxiously interrupted a conversation that didn't involve you.

Even worse are websites/services that impose ridiculous character requirements (you must include 2 symbols, 3 numbers, 5 letters, 2.5 of which must be upper case and positioned at the prime number indices, oh and you have to change you

The NYT has been on a crusade against FB for the past two years now. No other major news publication has published as many articles on FB as they have. I will never support NYT, not because I support FB, but because they disguise their medi
