I guess all I can say is that the truth isn't subject to voters approval. Human rights and LGBT rights, and women's rights are part of a natural truth. Maybe you can spin that as an opinion, but to me you're denying a logical

by ryanobjc 10y ago
Wow, I really couldn't disagree with you more. It's not left vs right, its humanity denying stances. Denying LGBT are human (which is what the "8" people were about) is a critical issue. Eich tied himself to the wrong si

The AMP Cache is an option that you can opt in to. The wordpress plugin by default opts in. The author said as much. The problem isn't that Google "steals" traffic in the sense it's going against the wishes of the site p

Here's the thing... without explaining your thought process, how do you even demonstrate you have one? How do you get depth of understanding? It's via a conversation, over a hard problem. With lots of stops in between. As a side

So here's the thing.. he was given the STANDARD interview that every engineer has to pass. How was that not a serious consideration? How is it fair to his future potential colleagues that he got in "easy"? They need to dep

This! The permatemp lawsuit against MSFT ended up being completely counterproductive. Now temps have to take a "vacation" every X years for at least 100 days. So temps at MSFT have LESS job security after "winning" thei

The best real world problems I encounter at Google take months of learning to fully comprehend. They are not trivial, and have a huge base. Even a simpler real world problem whereby it takes days of research is not respectful of your time.

As an engineer at Google, this comment is correct. Some teams use it, but since most the development happens on Linux desktops, and not Macs, therefore Homebrew is not as commonly used as normal dev shops. Basically the internal dev environ

I guess I dont think anyone has EVER earned the right to have an "inflated self opinion". Acting like a jerk, being entitled and demanding things are never something earns. That's just not ok behavior. I talk to people about

Have you ever done of the interviews? Or given? I've done both, multiple times and currently work there. Generally speaking the interviews are not "regurgitate academic CS" on demand. It does test your algorithmic and data s

I live in a small house in SF, and I have wifi problems. Plaster and lathe sure adsorbs all that wifi signal. Such a weird and negative comment. Are you alright? I mean, such negativity surely has got to come from somewhere?

The cost of living is higher. Medical expenses aren't really a thing for recent grads, and good medical insurance limits your outlay. Normally most people with solid insurance and serious health concerns will max out at a few thousand

Here's the issue, yes, you can disagree, and your workflow is different. But in general, most people get their news from social media now - mostly Facebook as it turns out. That is hardly a disputable fact. RSS is a technical detail

ok fair enough. I guess my expectations were out of step with the reality of their writing. I feel like their analysis here is lacking, and I learned nothing from it. Other than some people love wechat, which is something I could have guess

This article is a little weird to me. It seems to read fairly ok, seems pretty pro wechat, which is fine. Then I realized that the article was saying things like: "HSBC, a bank" "BMW, a german car maker" "Goldman

the death of google reader was sad, but at the same time, RSS as a method of reading blogs and news has exited the building. Competing products have failed to provide the same kind of mindshare that reader apparently had. Social media has

Your house broadcasts a beacon ID that ties to a specific place. It's very helpful for your neighbors to be able to locate themselves quickly. Why aren't you helping your neighbors?

That's like for the MOST expensive office space in SF though. Also that's PER YEAR, not per month. I once rented out office space in SOMA, and it was more like $18 sqft/year. It was cheap and in a shitty place, but still SOM

Exactly. The reality is everyone is playing armchair quarterback/back seat driver/whatever and telling LE about that they COULD do. As if somehow LE was dedicated to overspending. As if they didn't scour the earth to find the

Says a Canadian who lives in the US who overgeneralizes. It's not entirely true, but its way closer to the truth than you'd admit.

probably not. the best canadian coders are already here in the US.

Except the people already were there, and they want to stay there. The imaginary high caliber people who can do this in a low cost of living place are exactly that: imaginary.

There isn't as much as people bitch about, generally speaking you have a few items: - FICA payroll tax - this is US wide, so not really more expensive in CA. - CA state payroll tax, this isn't that expensive, just a few percent. -

There is a ton of research in this area and an entire field of clinical therapy called "cognitive behavioral therapy". There's literally too much to cite :-)

The weekend work = success is hardly a new item, there was a reference to it in Microserfs... Written in 1992. The VC/money guy said he'd invest in biotechnology but staff didn't work weekends. And as soon as he finds one tha

This is how rule of law looks like. No exceptions for friend of friends, or the second cousin to the mayor. It does occasionally lead to seemingly absurd situations, but there it is.

See, the problem here is you're just too cynical. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Regarding hypocrisy, the problem isn't that people are distrustful of thieves, the problem is its a capital sin that is used to find the slighte

That article notes that Chinese and American banks count assets differently, and that JPMC "may" be the largest in a "true apples to apples comparison".

Except that IP violation, isn't a form of theft. Also, Google, and every other search engine, is covered under fair use.
