That is the point, a person who is good at mathematics and algorithms will get hired at Google even if she doesn't have a cs degree.

It works, see for example smörgåsbord -> smorgasbord. They have exactly the same meaning.

I think that Google plus is too integrated in things like youtube to be killed.

What would sales do in a B2C shop? In my mind you just create a product people want, slap AdWords on it for revenue and add a marketing team for growth. I have a hard time imaginin…

The main problem with economic theory is that people aren't rational economic actors. A rational billionaire would realize that he have nothing to gain from more wealth and would l…

That's a part of step 2.

It is fairly straightforward, created a pastebin showing how it can be done, you can also make it check that it is implemented at compile time but the logic around that is a bit if…

Several products are already stationed in Europe so it is just a question of how much. Ireland does mostly support, yes, but both London and Zurich owns products.

Those are not issues when you have thousands of employees at a location, then you can base entire products there. There is plenty of people in Europe who would love to work for Goo…

I don't understand why they don't open more remote offices instead. Around 90% of their employees are currently within the US, wouldn't it be a lot easier to find tech talent if th…

I haven't worked at a single team without at least one woman, why wouldn't people just ask them instead of going out of their way to get more? I mean, if we reduced the amount of s…
