This is “grill you on everything” kind of interview. Open discussion on system design is IMO a really cruical round. I am not saying the candidates have to have years of experience in scaling - I doubt most applicants have. FWIW, the applic

Which area were you serving? I recently ordered something on Thanksgiving and it was on time (quicker than the estimated time) - so whether it was a luck draw or something changed in the practice? I order Dominos maybe two or three times a

I think there is much to show how to leverage container in development. I personally still struggling to get my mindset fix on using containers than running locally. It gets me every time and this makes me feel sad as if I am not in touch w

Women in ancient China had their feet bound [1]. There were rules on how to walk properly as ladies. Court women had stricter walking rules; those in Qing Dynasty (the last in China) wore high-heel shoes, which made walking more difficult

Not really (though again I emphasize every school is different). At least my school doesn't teach these abstract algebra covered in Chapter 1 except in discrete mathematics, which is not offered to most engineering students. Sure some

They are very different. They might have some overlap, but they each have many unique contents. The one you linked: Fundamentals of Linear Algebra and Optimization The one here is: Algebra, Topology, Differential Calculus, and Optimization

A lot of the math in the notes are not covered in the standard engineering mathematics curriculum. Chapter 1 is not. No one taught me about rings except in discrete (just briefly), and the next time I visited it would be in algorithm and cr

Beijing and Shenzhen are already considered “SV” of China. HK? Far from it. The governement has very little push and clues to make HK a SV.

Right. I graduated from City College, which is located at 137th, basically Harlem for those that don’t live in NYC. There have been robberies and rapes near the school (145th and St. Nicholas Park), but generally, I felt very safe when I wa

Segregation is the key here, not poverty. Poverty is nevertheless a factor, but it is usually a result of segregation. When public funding such as education, infrastructure, healthcare, and police are take away from these segregated, poor

I was surprised to see Pixel brand still around. Knowing how Google would kill / merge services every few years, Pixel, I thought would face the same fate. I don't think I can trust a platform that discontinue/move a product

For 6s, the shutdown probably has to do with the faulty battery. But maybe there was a batch bad for 6+ as well. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/ Not sure if they checked when the battery

I agree it is a fixed cost, but the initial cost is expensive by itself before we consider the cost for maintenance. Also 5x for economy is really expensive, I highly doubt that many customers would want this 380 experience for 5x of econ.

Yeah this is actually quite an unique business direction. There is also a possibility to do computation (like mapreduce) via ads - something I have been thinking for a long time. I heard about mining bitcoin that well too as an attack...

Maybe. I am originally from HK, so I understand the frustration there. However, this is more about forcing people to go back to less developed cities and towns where they might have a residency there. Also, removing the so-called “low end p

Brave is truly an underdog to me. When it was first launched, I thought it would not last long - another competing browser? Why would a VC invest in it? Because of Brendan Eich (he is extremely bright but I did not see how one could market

As far as I know, no battery, including iPhone’s, can achieve 100% charged. The concept of 100% charged is a software concept. It is hard to measure when exactly is 100%. iPhone’s 100% is roughly around 97-98% of its measurement by the hard
