I think that's the risk-reward trade-off. At the most elite levels, it'll all be about survivor bias. So even if that technique only works some of the time, those that it works on will have a better chance of becoming elite.

>BS. If that was the case, then YC would be a non-profit and they would accept everyone. I could see the argument for the first (non-profit) but not the second (accept everyone). Filtering down to a set of folks that they think they&#x27

Are they refunding the microtransactions/in-game store purchases? I read that they weren't but don't know if that's been updated.

There's probably some bias here where no parent is going to want to admit that they've treated their kids differently (likely unintentionally). Not to say that there isn't useful insight here anyway.

To be fair, even though it seems low, paper output/metrics are very field dependent.

To be fair, this is true of all departments and all people. Sales can't be successful if engineering and product don't build a good product with product market fit. The idea of going somewhere where the biggest blockers to succes

I would argue that even then you need to assess before making changes. If you're brought on for your expertise in process, you need to trust your own judgment on where the problems lie. Whoever is hiring you may have a sense that som

Lots of places, but I would guess finance and gaming have it at the highest percentage. They have the strictest performance requirements so algorithms and data structures end up custom built for the job more often.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, a 360 review doesn't require this kind of ranking. A 360 review just indicates that you're getting feedback/reviews from all directions relative to the org chart (manager, reports,

If you look at PARC and Bell Labs, the innovations from those teams didn't necessarily become ubiquitous while within those companies. They started there, but left before they found their market and adoption success. I get the feelin

Although age bias is a thing in the Silicon Valley, this seems to be the main takeaway from the article at least on the engineering side. It's talking about engineers having to "learn new coding languages" or "retrained

You don't need to be using Inbox for Google Now to have the appointment and tracking information parsed out. That's a setting in Google Now separate from the Inbox app. (I don't use Inbox but get those in Now)
