It’s also a matter of culture. For remote employees to be fully productive, the company’s culture needs to be heavily geared towards remote. You can’t have 50% of the employees in the office having impromptu hallway conversations and whiteb

The value of a brand is derived from its exclusivity. If you making 10x bigger, then a degree from there won’t be as valuable. I’m not saying that is right, but most exclusive colleges do brand management based on exclusivity.

But then you’re just increasing inflation, and the people you pay $15/hour end up having the same purchasing power as before.

It seems like the style of the article is deliberately long-winded and poetic to match the type of content that the “human readable magazine” is going for (similar to New Yorker articles). It’s likely seeking to cater to a specific niche of

It’s not as simple and clear cut as you make it out to be. The IP theft actually destroys many small businesses and companies that were trying to disrupt an industry by coming up with something original. There are many cases like this one:

Stealing these results is a negative to society because it prevents the inventor from making profit on their inventions and from recovering their R&D costs. It is bad because it discourages companies from investing in R&D and from m

The “ideas and thoughts” that you mention are not one-off ideas that somebody came up with in 10 minutes. The big concern is that what is stolen is ideas that are the result of decades of investment in R&D with significant monetary valu

Isn't supporting a subset of PDF features pretty standard for most browser plugins? These are meant mostly for reading PDFs online and not necessarily making modifications to them and saving them (in the browser cache?).

Aren't the examples of brainteasers actually Fermi problems? Maybe they sound like brainteasers if asked without the appropriate context, but when you're doing a system design interview and you have to estimate your throughput or

This sounds like “Our engineering director was very impressed with your experience, and we would like to set up a 15 min call to find out what you actually do.” Pretty much a recruiter tactic. They discover some random nugget of info about

Or most likely, they do it for the real or perceived immigration benefits. An accredited educational institution in the US can issue F-1 student visas, and these can be converted to OPT, H-1B, Greencard, and ultimately a US Citizenship. Tha

I'm not defending the Sentinel in any way, but maybe the author could've avoided downloading other people's passport information. An alternative way to confirm the vulnerability would have been to only access their own data f
