This is weird - do big companies actually ask stupid questions I can google, and let non-technical people lecture engineers on Big-O? Hope this obviously talented person finds more meaningful employment elsewhere.

Low birthrates, low marriage rates, sure that's a problem for a nation. But I don't think virginity need be a problem. If one wants to wait until they meet their right partner why not? Data shows this leads to stronger bonds (thou

Good post I agree with your sentiment. Adding to this, food delivery startups are another great example of this. I call them "VC subsidized lunches." Me and my friends installed half a dozen apps, each of which have given anywhere
