Do interviewers still ask LC questions? It's been a while since I last interviewed.

No.

> Tell that to Pieter Levels, who's made a fortune off travel planning software as a one-man shop. A "fortune". He has a lot of little projects, what % of his revenue is his travel…

> In Minneapolis they want to dismantle the existing police force and replace it with another. A big reason for wanting to do this is to get rid of the problem cops. So throw out t…

"Democratize". lol. It's now a weasel word used by start-ups. Merits an eye roll before moving along.

I'm not trying to be a troll with this, but is that true? I don't mean the fact that Iraq and Afghanistan were failed missions. But I've heard that 90% of the money spent on those …

Journalism is a punch-line now. In my mind it used to be a respectable profession, but now it's just partisans against partisans. Even for issues that aren't on their face overly p…

Ah ok, definitely in agreement. Not a good move on their part.

Agreed. Obviously I won't be using GoDaddy. And I'm not a pro-lifer, I don't agree with the law.

> If you like Section 230 as it is, don't test it. What do you mean? Section 230 means GoDaddy isn't liable for hosting this site or a site by the Taliban. Are you saying GoDaddy i…

Agreed. My company (Pinterest) recently opened "new offices" for engineering talent, but they were in Mexico City and elsewhere. The idea that we'll be competing with other US-base…

protonmail?

And that's crazy to me. I would have figured that with the CCP having ~1.5 billion people to choose from, that they could move a few million Han into Tibet (current pop. according …

> It seems to be working for now - they've had 619 emmy nominations I canceled my Netflix sub. Maybe this is why? Netflix became desperate to be legitimized by "big Hollywood"/"big…

I also stopped Netflix at some point early in the pandemic. More and more I was seeing good shows go away and nothing decent replacing it. Then they had all these weird shows (Cuti…

Same here. I joined a company pre-IPO several years ago and even though though Wall-street just punished us (hint hint) I'm still making close to 1m per year due to stock appreciat…

I didn't like them banning episodes too. There were internal movements from Spotify employees (liberal Silicon Valley workers) who wanted episodes completely censored and removed. …

I'm honestly not a fan of this, despite how well intentioned it may seem (road to hell?) AirBnB is honestly trying too hard with this PR move, it boggles my mind that shareholders …

Yea really, has Brian even been outside the AirBnB offices in San Francisco? I work near their office and remember a couple years ago they were offering their employees self-defens…

Thanks for the insight. At this point in my life I'm interested in WLB, sounds like engineers there may be more likely to be on the younger (in their 20s?) side of things.

> This won't be true no matter how many times you repeat it. "As a white person", I have been accused of racism. My response was to apologize and attempt to do better in future. I …

> I've been to one of such trainings that demonstrated what we would call "a struggle session" (using the Mao's terminology). Did you have to take part in this in any way or just o…

Honest Q for anyone here, how is Tesla's software-eng culture? I've of course heard of people on the ground floor of Tesla (factory workers) not being treated well, I've heard of S…

I like the comedy channel "Awaken with JP" which has been brought on as an initial creator, there's an hour-long conversation w/ the founder on the channel: https://www.youtube.com…

He doesn't identify with the Republican party, but he is a "disaffected democrat" - a group that increasingly has seen the democratic party leave them, rather than them leaving the…
