I used to have a Sony Xperia Z3C and I feel like the photos were acceptable for me. The bigger issue to me was that the cameras were significantly slower than the iPhone camera. I suppose this is only an issue depending on what you're

Interesting. I hadn't heard of hierarchical state machines. Thanks for the reply. If you don't consider the infinite button example, then what other kind of UI can not be described by a FSM?

Fully Homomorphic Encryption? I guess I don't know if that qualifies as being fundamental since it's very modern but it seems to be quite a popular topic right now.

I was only strictly considering pay because that's what the post/comment thread was about. Also, Google and Facebook have offices in Seattle, and from what I understand the pay between their HQ and Seattle offices are the same.

Where are you getting this information from? I got an offer from Microsoft and it definitely wasn't even close to what people who get offers from FB or Google get. Anecdotally, pay I've seen from Google and FB are higher than Micr

I suppose if you think of this as an article, then it might be seen as unapproachable, but as far as I can tell, this is actually a paper from The Journal of Economic Issues. This being the case, I'm surprised I understood it as well a

I think that's a little unfair to car companies no? Dual clutch transmissions are a fairly recent invention by car companies and improved dramatically on previous automatic transmissions. New engines are much more powerful and efficien

If you consider how well someone does as how likely they are to be hired, then it makes sense that interviewers are the source of "truth", because it's their grade or opinion which will decide whether you get hired or not. We

Not the person you're responding to but perhaps that person meant assuming your insertions are uniformly distributed? Then I think insertion is O(n) amortized..? At an insertion you'd have (n + (n-1) + .. + 1)/n = O(n^2) &#x2

The regular Golf wasn't caught for cheating was it? Only the TDI? I'm not sure the price comparisons you give make sense because $200 today still buys you a better CPU/GPU than $200 did back then..

Have you tried the app TrueCaller? It basically does what you are doing manually except searching a crowdsourced database of numbers. I'm not affiliated with them in any way; I just find it useful.
