Any country that’s moved off the USD has been labeled an axis of evil, sanctioned, or bombed.

What company are you at? I’m at a company who people consider 2nd tier among the FANGs in a senior developer role and my salary + stocks are > $300K this year in Seattle. Also be c…

Not a fan of googles hiring process. I interviewed in 2015 and never got past the phone screen. I was given a contrived programming problem, which I solved and explained runtime co…

There’s no hypocrisy here. If you have a personal issue with Bezos or his success, that’s fine. Expecting Bezos to tell newspapers or media what to report sounds like something Don…

Do X or I will do Y to hurt you and your company is blackmail and extortion, regardless of what Y is. Digging up some past quote to somehow justify extortion is not very genuine.

I try to ignore politics, but how do republicans justify this kind of abuse? Isn’t this simply regulatory capture by the telecoms?

How does this justify extortion? Serious question.

What makes her a moron? Do you have something of more substance than a personal attack?

Ocasio-Cortez is almost always being mentioned on Fox and some of the conservative forums I visit. They’re genuinely terrified of her. Imo, we need fresh people with new ideas. I’m…

My spouse and I were wanting to visit NYC last spring. A hotel + flight package for three nights was listed as $800 per person because of a last minute sale. Okay so $1600 plus may…

Burnout is real. I was promoted from an entry level to senior level engineer in three years at one of the top tech companies. My compensation is great, and I’m saving heavily. Also…

The wage gap is real, although I feel like I see an anti ${insert_tech_company_here} article on NYT just about everyday attacking Facebook, Amazon, Apple, etc. None of these tech c…

A lot of ideas at home are stolen in one fashion or another. We just happen to have a legal system that allows you to reap the benefits of your innovation alone or license out and …

Ha! I work with some talented engineers at a big tech company. This topic sort of came up at a happy hour event. Their culture is different. In the west, we think you’re really som…

A glass screen on a laptop is worlds different than on a pocket sized device, where the tiny keys were arguably something to improve. If I can already type 90 words a minute, what …

I don’t see how a glass screen, no matter how amazing it feels, would be better than a keyboard. Of course, any judgement I pass is far too premature and a tad unfair since it’s ju…

The 2015 MacBook Pro was the last piece of great hardware from Apple, in terms of their laptops. The newer MacBooks with their gimmicky touchbar and useless keyboards, for the sake…

Not knowing anything about this other than what’s in the article, I’m a bit skeptical of how big of an issue there really is inside google and how much of this is just the media bl…

Did they really plan it? I feel like no one expected Amazon to grow as much as they did. And the domino effect was everyone else started coming into the area because tech talent wa…

What was the stronger or weaker one? Op posted his opinions as being objective truths, which I pointed are subjective. Enlighten me.

IMO the Bay Area is far more diverse than many parts of the country with people from different Asian countries. It’s subjective. You don’t see it as diverse but having grew up in t…

If everything interesting had moved out, people wouldn’t be moving in and rents would fizzle out. I think you meant to say things you f8nd interesting have moved out.

What I understood from your post is you don’t want an area full of product managers, data scientists, and software people, but you’re very content in an area that replaces them wit…

Oh imagine the struggle of a poor billionaire such as Sheryl. But seriously, I’m surprised at the mental gymnastics. If she had a problem with any of it, she could just quit.

I don’t think it’s a worse euphemism. The people who I see angry about “illegals” are the same ones who think blacks are all criminals and it would be great if we could to to the g…
