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 imagining what for example Reddit would do with a sales team. Edit:

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 live the rest of his life in lavish and luxury (while do

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 iffy: https://pastebin.com/DiFh4GuM

I know, I work there. Most I know don't even bother applying since it is hard to get an interview, they don't see getting into Google as an alternative. All Google would need to Gobble up all talent in Europe is basically to start

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 Google but there are so few positions here that it is almost im

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 they had a major position in other areas of the

Aren't most emoji gender neutral?

by Klockan 9y ago
20% are women in the places I have worked so you would expect there to be around 2 on average then. The probability then that a team of 10 has zero women would be around 10% so not that common.

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 sexism then the voices which are already in the fie

Cultural appropriation of Mexican small shops. Note that I don't really see the issue, the name describes their business well.

> If startups are begging for more women Why would they start doing that? Eliminating sexism just means that you don't have any bias, not that you suddenly see them as the next coming.

I am not saying that this doesn't increase the wealth gap, just that the money isn't being kept out of the system like the article purports.

The end result is that people demands more proof before accepting that your idea is exceptional. I'd guess that this could reduce noise making it easier to focus on relevant startups.
