The values are irrelevant (although interesting for a nosy person). Are you telling me that you don't think it's fair that people get paid equally for the same role / level of responsibility? Are you saying you wouldn't

This will always be a divisive subject and my opinion will likely be equally divisive. For the record, I took a bootcamp over doing a master's in CS: the clincher for such a decision came when an engineer friend at a tech unicorn said

All really great responses already to this comment but to add one more - a bootcamp is a structured and trialled course. Ultimately this leads to fast acceleration in learning: The topics you learn are current and high priority (e.g. learni

From what I heard from people who worked at Amazon during the especially rocky years, their share compensation is tied to a monetary value - if the share value tanks significantly, they'll issue shares to compensate. If you're int

This is an unfair comment.. The thread is extremely useful for people both inside and outside the company. While it may come across as a bragging, having worked at Amazon in a non tech role I can say that there was extremely little transpar

Identity provides deterrence from things ever reaching that state. Having your passport or ID saved would make you think twice about committing some kind of crime

As an AirBnB host I'm not all that cool with letting out my apartment for a day to someone who won't share some form of proof of identity. As an engineer I get the privacy concerns so I'm split on which way I sit on this fenc

Nice! Worth doing these things even if to personally experience the boundaries of good/bad interview practice.

What was their response to this? I think it's perfectly valid to state this, and may even throw the balance of the interviewer/interviewee dynamics but I can also see other people seeing this as obtuse. But pointing out a missing

For the non-believers of Snapchat, here is where I think its value lies: For the past 50 years brand strategy has largely been (fairly) well characterised. Conventional wisdom in the industry did well enough for brands like McDonald's

From speaking to people that have gone to Oxford and Cambridge, they are definitely not necessarily letting in just the brightest minds. Nor do I think they truly are trying to find them - there is a definite "fit" for these place

Just on the note of hand strain, without knowing anything about your wife's condition, a way that could help alleviate it is to critically analyse hand position/technique. As a pianist, I have been trained to have a very supple ha

Just add another example, beef consumption is very low in Hindu countries even for non-Hindus. Similar observations are true for Muslim areas and pork consumption. Case in point is that a strong cultural identity can bring about a soft enfo

I'm not especially great with security, but if this is true it sounds pretty serious. Surprised a spot check in HN Search didn't come up with anything related..?

An interesting move by Amazon, will be interesting to see how this pans out. In the short term, the deal crucially allows Amazon to move into the fresh-food market with a credible fresh food offer quickly, all the while avoiding the potenti

Probably about 25%, the question is, how many people's salaries have gone up 25% in that space of time?

For argument's sake, say we have 1000 (high estimate) active cargo airships in the world. To further simplify the problem, let's assume they all have the same volume as the Dragon Dream (17,000m^3)[1]. So 1000 airships would take

This article really gets me going - there's really nothing more inspiring for me than to see a person fighting all his life, fighting against all the odds, fighting against the status quo to make his dream a reality. I really hope Past

Whilst I think this was inevitable, as banks have become increasingly technical, it also makes me a bit sad that now you need a Math PhD from MIT and a Harvard MBA to go and be a trader. I think back to an earlier HN discussion [1] on the a

Booking slots will probably come, its something they've always wanted to do and it becomes easier to implement as things like Amazon Fresh get rolled out. Re buying Uber - that would have been way too expensive, I think in this case it
