To be fair, it seems like the transportation supply constrained - 20,000 people coming/leaving a stadium and only 2800 will have access to a 4 min shuttle ride away from a densely trafficked area. It sounds like a great situation to pr

My friend graduated from CS in Berkeley, but it was apparent when working with him that he was not really cut out for being a programmer. I suggested him to go for a PM interview with a large SV company and he got it, and now is doing reall

No your questions aren't bad they're actually quite good for what you're testing. Good reasoning to back them up too. Your funnel also looks pretty normal. I wouldn't be surprised if all 8 fail the test for front-end, we

This is NOT a big issue for consumers. Apple is great at keeping customers happy, their 4 year warranty extension for replacing the keyboard shows this. This IS a business issue. It has a quantifiable effect on profit margins for Apple&#x27

If you read through the documentation, you'll see that they actually have a value of 145k as a calculation of the low income limit, but they are only allowed to grow the cap by 11.5% from last year, which was at 105k. This doesn't

Shipping is weird because of cargo loads. It is similar to the airline industry in that as long as you ship enough at a price to cover the operation cost, anything else can theoretically be shipped for free. Routes with high volume usage ca

It is pretty late. I mentioned early 1900s to capture the steel era, which was when unions became popular in the US. You had a lot of worker's movements in Europe long before then (french revolution anyone?). I don't know exactly

This mostly. Shipping also uses a public good (roads) which you can claim that companies using these public goods are not paying their fair share for them.

Meat subsidy affects the national market as a whole, so it is not predatory pricing unless you consider the global market. In the global market, US and Australian meat is better quality and cheaper than local meat in many countries (true in

The 'gig' economy reminds me very much of the state of factory workers in the early 1900s. For businesses, it was very clear that forcing workers to work in a very unfriendly way (doing a repetitive task as part of an assembly lin

As a second generation Asian American who is living in Hong Kong, this article (and most discussions about tiger parents) sounds like the writer has a blind spot - specifically, he wonders if he will emulate tiger parents without any unders

Rails is great. Front end server side rendering is great. Monolithic is great. These things aren't problems in themselves unless they are creating problems. You should approach this question with a problem solving mindset. Write down w

If you can, look for other opportunities. The best time to look for other opportunities is before you need them. It will also allow you to understand your job relative to other jobs, and this knowledge will give you a much clearer reasoning

I've noticed this too. The expectation is for sleep to affect productivity, but I don't find that to be the case. Instead, I find that it has a lot of impact on my social and emotional well being rather than my productivity. Produ

Is it click bait? yes. Is it a real argument? no. Summary TL;DR - 2.2% of founders are female, they generate 730k (vs 660k for male founders) over 5 years on average. I think these numbers are all or a substantial amount of the available sa

not sure how Europe got in this, was comparing American values versus Asian values. Conflict is the center of attention in American values (you could say western values, I don't know enough about modern European sentiment to say that).

Don't think it is an equality thing. If I were to distill it into one central theme, it would be centered on how each culture views and values conflict. The principles of the US has themes of "cooperation by conflict". Voting

It doesn't work in Asia because of cultural reasons. Independent thinking and enabling others is a very American way of thinking. People don't realize how much culture is derived off of core principles within major founding docume

I'd argue that space research is a large enough expenditure that it can only be supported (as in systematically support, not a billionaire gifting their life savings) by the market. There's nothing sad about it, money has to come

These sounds like good steps. Bias can still exist in functional/effective HR pipelines because it is after all a pipeline run by humans, not robots, but they shouldn't outweigh the most important values required for the role.

If you pass screening rounds but not on-site, you may need to work on how you present yourself. On-site interviews are just as much about how much they like you and want to work with you as it is about acing the technical screening side. So

Affordable housing is a symptom, not an issue. The basic issue is that living in a nice city falls prey to basic supply and demand curves. The unit of supply is not the house itself, but everything that's included within a city - oppor
