I saw one of the core developers tweeting that he hates dinosaurs because they're ancient meat eating predators that are extinct . The developers are not the ones running this I'm sure but it gives some idea as to why. I disagr

Also presumably the other projects might live on even if the browser inevitably dies out.

What? Whenever I try it, Chrome's font rendering is outright atrocious compared to Firefox...of all the reasons that one might prefer Chrome this has got to be the worst possible, by miles. Is it possible you got used to the incorrect

In my experience Google recruiters do have a sheet with alternate answers, but those can't cover everything.

The people doing these interviews are non-technical people who read off of a cheatsheet. The cheatsheet covers alternative answers, but a situation like the OP describes can never end well.

There's literally quite a few people in here, including Googlers, that can't believe Google asks these questions. (I don't necessarily believe the interview went down as reported, but the questions and the interviewer using a

This costs money. As long as Google receives plenty of acceptable candidates, false negatives are free. (Assuming they get no false positives, which, thinking about it, is a big assumption)

You unintentionally screw with the timing? (I had the same happen)

Google recruiters ask these exact questions in phone screens.

by rockdoe 10y ago
It's true this is probably not exactly what happened, but Google does certainly ask these questions in phone screens and the interviewers read the correct response off of a cheatsheet. The fact that several Google people posting here

You should be ashamed then, because these are definitely the questions used on SRE phone screens.

Mozilla themselves publish a DRM-free version. You have to go look for it, but it exists.

The CDM doesn't need to do any rendering, and interaction with the GPU can be limited to writing in a designated shared memory area.

You are misunderstanding. Curve25519 offers 128 bits of symmetric security, or the equivalent of a 256 bit elliptic curve key.

I think you made a rather basic maths error, it's 375k per employee. Firefox still gets an enormous amount of development effort. I think people don't notice because Chrome likely just gets an order of magnitude more. Xiph is inde
