As a new grad from CMU undergrad, every offer I had came with a sign on bonus (n=5). Size ranged from 5k at a smaller public company to 75-100k at a couple of FAANG companies, one of which I was a returning intern at.

I haven't found an academic source for this, but the suggestion is that even though triggers for fires may be unrelated, the scope and intensity of the fires are intensified due to the effects of climate change. This…
I spent 4 months travelling throughout Spanish South America and some of my favorite cities where I would consider being a nomad were Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Medellín, and Valparaíso. All have good night-life, art,…
Not that it detracts from your point, but the best offers I've seen for FB new grad are 115k salary, 270k/4 RSUs, and 100k signing, giving ~280k first year.

I invest using mutual funds through Vanguard. Some percentage US stock fund, some percentage US bond fund, some percentage international stock, and some percentage international bond. This is by far the simplest and…
It's neither. All BarZapp does is read the barcode and check that it contains reasonable information and it formatted according to the standards. Vendors have figured out proper formatting so they look appropriate to…
Teslin and PVC are still big, although some states are using polycarbonate as well. Real holograms got a lot easier. IDGod (among other vendors), apart from selling IDs, also sells bulk holograms, so most vendors on…
I've been interested in this topic for a while. The article was fairly good but I did have a few minor quibbles. For one, ordering from IDGod (the vendor in the story) is known to be very reliable. If packages get…
The standard advice given to incoming CS students at my university who ask how they should prepare over the summer is typically "don't do any studying at all", in the sense that it is rare to have so much free time and…
Using the HyperLogLog algorithm to estimate the number of unique elements in huge datasets: http://blog.notdot.net/2012/09/Dam-Cool-Algorithms-Cardinali... Very cool algorithm used in (among other things) redis.
I don't have that information, and I perhaps was a little too strong in my phrasing. Nevertheless, if you're not confident that you fall at an E5 level when joining, there's a chance you'll come in at E4, which is not…
Average salary is about $170,000, RSU grant is somewhere between $260,000 - $300,000 over 4 years. Number of datapoints on that is somewhere between 20 and 40. Do note that if you're on the cusp of a level, Facebook can…
How many years of experience do you have? Salary is fairly tightly banded depending on your level E3 - E6+. You can estimate level based on description here:…
What's even cooler, is that after building this VM (for the C0 language) as a freshman, you can come back as a junior/senior and write a compiler for that language in 15-411. It's a very cool way of going full circle.
This is part of the premium you pay for using Apple products. While the design is aesthetically nice, you are limited in your flexibility. This is why I prefer other operating systems that I find easier to customize.
Based on some of the quotes from Twitter, I don't think they will be suppressing non-verified users. It seems this is more so that people who would be deserving of verification based on the criteria that previously…
Make sure that you are sipping from the side opposite the seam that runs up the side of the cup. If you have a lid, put the hole on that opposite side as well. I believe this reduces the dripping.
By monitoring proxies for battery usage: CPU time, amount of time location services is on, etc. and building a model. It's not an easy problem, but for an app that is widely used such as Uber, it's not infeasible to…
Possibly being used to track battery usage by the app, so that they can provide a better experience for users.
For the example in the article, I think I'm inclined to agree. However, with something like numIterations = 5 foo(numIterations) versus foo(5) I think adding that extra variable greatly improves readability by removing…
From personal experience, I can say that Google was only willing to extend an internship offer a week past their initial two week deadline. This is despite the fact that I was still interviewing with other companies at…
