The biggest winner in all this will be Netflix. They’re the only profitable streaming service and we’ll see all these streamers consolidate and either sell their catalogs again or cut down on spending

Just feels like a marketing gimmick tbh. This won’t work well enough for semi technical BI people to just use it out of the box without some gnarly debugging

Very clever post encouraging companies to spend more on this trite style of interviewing perpetuated by Aline, Gayle and the leetcode gang. Who offers said mock interviews at $100 a pop? Well interviewing.io of course!

Good to see The Verge investing in these types of articles instead of the usual tech drama

Imo, those are valid points but still not worth giving up your privacy to Facebook for. I’d rather keep my data to myself until a non-ad supported version of either FB or some other platform comes out

The virtual desktop thing looks cool. Has anyone been able to use it as an external monitor for coding ? I have neck problems and this seems like a great replacement

Hoarding data is different from OSS. We’re talking about infra providers. IMO, they should be regulated like public utility companies.

$120 billion? Wow, so SoftBank 3x’ed their $7bn investment in a year?

I would rather wait for the Magic carpet service due by 2025.

Indeed, kudos to them having the gall to do such a thing. Heavily lobbied congressmen would never do such a thing or even implement something like GDPR here.

This. Why put them through the whole interview gauntlet? Sheer arrogance

They only show up in threads praising Google as a utopia.

Our company is dependent on this as well and the way customer service has been handling this has been abysmal thus far.

Tech industry is not part of Bannon's platform? https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/2/14472404/st... The terms "tech oligarchs" have been part of his verbal repertoire thr

Oh please, you're just parroting Steve Bannon's pseduo-intellectual propaganda. Pull out this program and most of the Big-N companies would simply move these jobs overseas. I would go so far to say that lumping them with illegal i

Devdiv (org that builds .NET, C#, VC++, VS etc) has always been one of the top notch organizations within Microsoft with great engineers (although from what I hear, some of them have left recently). Nonetheless, as someone who now works at

It's an unnecessary misuse of the Big O notation used to establish bounds of functions. I think they just meant up to 1000 satellites

Oh please let’s not glorify those simple trick questions to be anywhere near as hard or require the degree of intuition that OP or theoretical mathematicians work on. 75% of interview questions can be solved with some form of BFS/DFS a

Isn’t this just centralizing the cloud provider SDKs? Instead of AWS, GCP, Azure designing their own SDKs, they have a common contract to adhere to. I’d imagine as the cloud becomes more mainstream, you’ll see similar support in Java and .N

As a non-American, while I do see the need for such tests during the Cold War, the way America ruined pristine pacific islands just saddens me. They should’ve been held accountable for that but alas better them than the USSR

Seems a little far fetched for a process technician to make “direct code changes to operating system code” though

Yeah, I believe this whole move was prompted after Google Ventures invested in them

Kudos to the NTSB. Events like this and companies like Tesla are exactly why we need regulation and government oversight. Tesla's statement that the driver was given "several warnings" is just a flat out lie.

So jealous of the founders. Making it this big at such a young age. This is generational wealth. OTOH, anyone else think Microsoft has massively overpaid for Github? Feels like Satya's Nokia moment to me.
