As i see, Indeed has better scrapers and SEO for a start. It established itself as a market leader in this business, also built simple products like letting companies directly post jobs, making it easy to apply from mobile(they acquired mob

This was destined to happen i guess! SimplyHired has no USP, scrapers which can massively scrape jobs and SEO which gets users,that's about it. No clear direction and competing with Indeed, which has better tech must have been hard for

I don't know what happened in this case, but i assume most companies do large PBN's to alter the pagerank and so the search footprint.

> If you say this from a position of success, people will believe you So true! But the founders has to make a call on the extent of this. The Uber and Airbnb example is not a good analogy, since they tried to break/overcome the arc

Wow! So it balances out? I am not supporting 50onRed here, but the point that doing some good and some bad things is okay, is no good.

They do! But as i see it, with personal details, interests, location data,mood and apps connected(FB connect), FB has a most comprehensive view of a user.

There is a lot of competition. But ultimately, the display ad network success relies on guessing the user's best interests which require a lot of data. And currently, Google & FB are the only ones who have it.

This is really a big thing since it directly affects the Google cash cow(Adwords/Doubleclick). Facebook has all the data in the world about a user(location, personal details, current mood) which google lacks and so they can target user

This! It's a great example of what users get as a trade off for having to see relevant advt on the Internet.

> Large companies have large egos. So true:) Apart from what's best for user experience,they tend to enforce their tech and design everywhere. But in this case, i feel material design shouldn't be an issues since it's now

I reckon what you say. All the chinese students I know from grad school are few of the most honest & hardworking people. There are thousands of people even from my country(India) who come here only for prestige diluting the genuine stud

Not saying that bribery won't happen in this kind of cases, but it wouldn't definitely happen with a company as big as Apple. Especially not when Tim Cook met Modi regarding expansion in India.

Haha! I heard this kind of experience from some others who interviewed with various companies too. Always wonder why would anyone do that?

by vthallam 10y ago
Exactly! This is how we should we look at it. You don't have to type the obligatory "How Cute" kinda messages and rather spend time on other important things:)

And in this case, what do you think would be the motivation of companies like Google who uses data to monetize for any innovation and provide better service? Companies have to sustain and the only way to be sustainable at that scale as Goog

The demo showed only some use cases which mostly look like first world problems, but i personally see a huge need for this. I mean there are millions of people who plan things over chat and Google showing search results for movies, restaura

It's hypocritical because not all people who talk about privacy, pay for a good service!

I guess, they didn't go with Hangouts because it was basically built as extension of the web. May be they wanted to build a mobile focused messaging app from ground up which can compete with apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. It would ha

Guess you are only thinking in the perspective of a power user who enjoys high quality games on the VR. But, Google wants to make this a utility by having one connected to your phone and let them enjoy the Youtube VR content, small games, n

Guess I am one of the few who got excited about the Duo launch. I always wanted a Facetime like feature for Android phones, a light weight one which just works unlike Skype/Hangout. Though, I feel they should have wrapper both in a sa

Yes! I find it so hypocritical of people who seems to be extra careful about their personal information. I understand this makes sense for some people, but for most of the others, Google using your meta-data to show things which might inter

I use chrome as the default browser on Windows at work and on Mac at home. Though i tried firefox before on both OS, i feel it's nothing compared to chrome. I feel it's very heavy, takes more time to load pages than chrome.

I understand! But yes, there's a definitive gap in the applications vs interview calls and how the applicants are picked up for interviews in general.

This is a problem in general. There were so many instances where the candidates were turned down because they couldn't write an algorithm from text book. The famous example being the guy who made Homebrew. Reasons are below: 1) The exi

But you do know that it's not bay area only right? Millions of people outside US use it and the price difference is a lot to bear for some of them.

All the major publications i follow do this. FB doesn't have to hide posts by keyword. The extension sounds good, but as you know, a lot of users including me used it mostly on mobile.
