Did they mention copying photos from your phone to a PC via USB? This is intentionally crippled and such an unpleasant experience in comparison to the experience if you have a Mac,…

> - Upgrade to Windows 11, our most secure operating system ever! This one should be in comparison to Windows 10 wrt benchmark.

What he said probably cannot be verified, even. On another note, has anyone noticed how Pichai likes to take pictures in front of others’ work for the media [1]? To me, it’s a weir…

To your last question, I suspect neither. I think screener was inaccurate.

Yes. I was responding to the question about how the employees feel, and they feel great, precisely because all time highs (let’s ignore openai’s impact for now). Wrt openai, why sh…

Do you happen to have a reference?

My sources are folks who have been in these layoff discussions for six months. I should have said “some” or “many” instead of “all” since I don’t have sources in “all” these places…

Pretty much this. You can have experience and also perform well in a system design interview. However, passing some of these rounds involves chance. Some interviewers are looking f…

All these layoffs we’re seeing were planned well over six months ago. It’s not coordinated or copy-cat. However, it may be that all the bean counters learned the same lessons in th…

Does not. Probably not legal in the US, but IANAL.
