I've found mega.nz to be a great alternative to Google Drive. I've never had issues with feature parity and it even has a proper Linux client. The combination of flag-happy AI and the way Google will nuke your entire account witho

If you're passing FAANG interviews without prep, you're in a very small minority. Maybe you're a genius. In any case, your experience is not particularly useful to the rest of us. Failing behaviorals is also usually a result

I won't even consider companies with a take-home assignment. If you stick with it, be sure to give candidates a heads up that that's part of the process by the time they chat with the recruiter. Otherwise you're being really

Japanese police have a reputation of "interrogating" you until you confess, regardless of innocence. That's the only way to hit their 99% conviction rate. The last thing they need is another bludgeon.

Nintendo is horrific with how aggressively they pursue litigation for even the most tenuous of cases. I've been boycotting them for the last decade. Makes me appreciate patent trolls - at least they're just in it for the money and

It is a violation with a theoretical hefty fine of around $40k per infraction. But in practice, laws don't apply to companies like Visa. XFINITY's email marketing system has been ignoring opt-outs for years and nothing has or will
