Thanks for the great explanation of the evolution of telecom technologies. However, I found the business case lacks substance. The author claims that an offline retail giant will h…

This makes me thankful for Amazon's document-writing culture. Ambiguous words like very/could/should/few/large are avoided or at least qualified with a range. This helps us avoid a…

If you're living in Canada, you're spending money in CAD. I don't think its fair to convert Canadian salaries to USD to make the comparison. Still, $160K CAD is considerably less t…

Mine was 2 months ago. I'm surprised how stale these questions are.

I was asked pretty much the same questions for an SRE position at Google. Note that I only found the recruiter phone screen to be this kind of 'pop quiz'. The engineering interview…

I keep getting marketing emails from Udacity about their nanodegrees. Some of them sound pretty attractive (like the ones related to self-driving cars) and I've been tempted to tak…

Adding to this, there's an informal course review site that gives you pretty good reviews from other students. It should give you some more context: https://omscentral.com/reviews

I only take 1-2 courses each semester. Which means it'll take me a total of 3 years to graduate. Right now I'm about a year in, with 3 courses under my belt. One of the courses I t…

I have an undergrad degree in Computer Engineering, and have been working in the field for 3 years. So I took 1st year and 2nd year Math courses during my undergrad, but I haven't …

Yes, I think it should be fine considering you have some work experience. Once you're accepted though, you'll have to complete two foundational courses within a year (with a grade …

Have you considered an online Master's degree in machine learning from Georgia Tech? Its offered through Udacity so its cheaper and more flexible, but you also get a full degree fr…

I hadn't thought of it that way, thanks for bringing it up. Yes, I'll have to ask to see how its viewed culturally.

Hi HN, I've recently received an offer from a large, well-known technology company. I'm pretty excited about it, but there's one clause in my NDA contract and offer letter that con…

Maybe you can add some details about what stage your company is at (seed vs Series A/B/C), instead of identifying your company?

In the past year, I've had 3 colleagues quit their jobs at a Vancouver startup to work remotely for a US company (to get paid in USD). Tech salaries in Vancouver are too low for th…

I like that they're allowing customers to build custom applications using their SDK. Also, targeting industries seems like a much better way to build this kind of technology than b…

My girlfriend lives this philosophy of minimalism, and I try to follow it as well. She's had to move at least once a year every year for the past 8 years, and she brings her stuff …

Exactly. I'm currently working as a software engineer here, and the average wage is significantly lower than what Seattle companies offer (even if you ignore the difference in exch…

I went to UBC, Vancouver from my undergrad. A large part of my friends moved to the US (since the exchange rate works in your favor). Calgary and Toronto are also popular.

Next Draft is awesome! I've been reading it for almost 4 years, and its one of my primary sources of general news. He limits it to ten stories a day, and his curation is excellent.…

Change Heroes | Vancouver, BC | http://changeheroes.com/ | Prefer ONSITE but REMOTE possible for the right candidate | CTO, Senior Backend Engineer We're building the world's large…

Change Heroes isn't a non-profit, but a technology social enterprise for sure. We help charities fundraise better through video outreach + microgifts. So far we've helped fundraise…

I didn't realise that one city's market could be large enough to support that many. In Vancouver I've only seen 5-6 of them, and in Mumbai where this just started, I only know of o…

I've tried a bunch of these in Vancouver, Seattle and Mumbai. Most of them have been incredible. If you're the kind of person who enjoys the rush of solving puzzles under a timer, …
