Not the person you're asking but I previously passed the interview at Amazon. If you don't know the concepts/data structures, just read more about them, either on the internet or from a book. The internet is usually sufficien

I think in some ways it makes sense that she gets paid so much though.. A failing company probably needs to give a greater incentive for someone to want to be their CEO. It'd probably be difficult for Mayer to get another CEO position

I was just going to ask this too because I remember reading an article about how people felt that video calls did much to alleviate the loneliness from remote work, whereas texting and even calling didn't quite work

Golang uses tabs and not spaces though.. I actually thought everyone used spaces instead of tabs till I had to use it.

> all I find are people who just want a job with a steady paycheck In fairness, I think besides those who are well enough off to not need to work, a paycheck is the main reason people work. I'm just a junior engineer who admittedly

I don't know where you're from but in my experience when people use "I think" it implies that they aren't completely sure what they are saying is correct. It's used similarly to "to the best of my knowledg

What do you think is stopping them from being able to "hack it"? It seems like if they've been there a few months already, you've essentially given them a few months training. Wouldn't it make sense to just continue

I'm surprised at the negative attitude you have of MSR. People at MSR seem to have it pretty good and are free to publish their results to the open, so I don't see anything wrong with what they do. It actually seems nice that Micr

This is the first time I've heard about this.. In the US our Master's degrees are unfunded and actually quite expensive, although they sometimes involve research too. How does it work? I assume you're doing this in the UK?

The article makes assumptions about job prospects for PhDs and which careers getting a PhD will enable, but is it strange that I want to get a PhD just because I want to be able to do research and learn about all the currently unsolved prob

Actually you can do this in the US too, but they are still called 4 year colleges here.

> half will by definition do "above average", and the other will do "below average" Is this really true? I think it's only true if you replace average with median (e.g. in [1,2,3,10] only 10 is above the average)

I think it's actually supposed to be quite difficult to see who is above average. At least in "A Random Walk Down Wall Street", they cite some statistics about how only 20% (?) of managers beat the market over a period of tim

Interesting.. I feel like I've definitely injured myself from not warming up enough. I actually don't even see how you can sprint at 100% when you are cold. That's not to say I don't believe but that I wonder if there is

Seems a bit unfair to call them idiots.. by optimizing funding they are minimizing their risk at the expense of higher returns. This seems like a good thing for a business to do, although perhaps they should figure out better ways to do thi

The hatred is natural because in the end both groups are competing for work, and if people are going to work a billion hours, then you're going to be expected to work a billion hours too or go unemployed.. Personally I find it annoying

Maybe they don't select for high GPA but students with high GPAs in high school presumably have a higher chance of getting into a top 10 college and I imagine Google prefers students from top schools

Why machine learning? The paper says that the need to handle the complexities of modern hardware made it so that the scheduler failed to do its fundamental job. Machine learning sounds like it would add even more complexity but perhaps I j

What's wrong with the drivers? I find they drive slowly sometimes but it's not really a big deal. I find driving in SF to actually be scary on the other hand with people forcefully merging into your lanes. I've been here for

What other big companies are hiring in Seattle besides Amazon, FB, and Google? The only ones I know of are Zillow and Expedia. I just assumed they paid relatively well because there was a salary spreadsheet on here a few weeks ago and doing

I'm not even sure we are agreeing or disagreeing anymore. I don't like tricky algorithm questions. Well that's a lie, I like them but I don't think they are appropriate for interviews. On the other hand, I don't fee
