I actually really like the concept, as I understand it - a vetted shortlist of products worth buying in each category, with customer reviews distilled down to a brief summary (instead of a game-able star rating). Unfortunately I can defini

Lol, nobody I know took this approach and they are very good at these types of interviews.

Giving somebody a ~1 day takehome assignment, sure. But you aren't going to be able to actually do any real work in this amount of time.

Good luck getting any top-tier candidate to agree to this.

Jeff Dean (circa 1998) would pass the resume screen anywhere and I'm pretty sure he'd do well on a coding challenge.

In fact, institutional investors often make informal agreements to not flip the shares in exchange for their allocations.

It's pretty easy to get companies to use if you make a special carousel at the top of the search results page which is reserved for it.

As others have said, AMT doesn't respect ISOs, which makes ISOs pretty useless.

Not sure this would apply here - I don't think that advisors get ISOs (but I could be wrong).

Sure! But the same is true of Word, or CSS for that matter. Any layout system is going to run into this issue: since the space of possible layouts is so big, it's almost inevitable that users will decide they want something that isn&

Of course, every individual extremist has their own story, but we are also all products of our environments and it is clear that the web creates an environment in which extremism thrives. Personally I think free speech is worth it but we ca

In this scenario, your odds are probably best with the CEO leading enterprise sales - at least, that's how the successful companies that I've been a part of did it. A product led founder works best in a product-led market.

It's opensource + a hosted offering, which is a pretty popular business model used by eg MongoDB.

Maybe, maybe not. Rewriting your existing site is much riskier for an organization than adding a new site which gets its traffic from a new source, while your existing site continues to chug along as normal (albeit with gradually declining

Google has already done this, it hasn't had anywhere near the impact that the AMP carousel has.

by s17n 6y ago
Google already does reward faster pages and publishes tools for benchmarking yourself but it hasn't had anywhere near the impact that the AMP carousel did.

"We need to make an AMP site to get into this carousel" is a much easier sell (to executives) than "we need to rebuild our site according to some not completely specified principles to hopefully get a higher search rank"

Except... they didn't own the data? AMP was conceived because Google was worried about everything moving into Facebook's walled garden. That's what it was competing against. Google doesn't need to own the data because

Agreed, anything trivial enough for a linter to fix probably didn't matter in the first place.

Making users upset is also a direct threat to Google's business model. It doesn't really matter whether you're paying them $20 directly, or whether you're generating $20 of ad revenue - either way, you're worth $20

Right, so basically everybody above the 60000 cap is ignored. Basically the difference between a county with 30000 and 60000 is a lot less important than the difference between a county with 60000 and 600000 - this map is truncating most o

by s17n 6y ago
It's a nice attempt, but capping the county population at 60000 means the map is effectively ignoring the majority of the population (if you consider the number of "ignored people" to be the sum over all counties of the count
