Hate to say it but Amazon was hiring the folks getting laid off from major banks a few years ago. They abandoned hiring only the best a long time ago.
Sounds like you were a slacker almost certainly getting paid way above average, and got fired way later than you should have. No sympathy.
It's not about them leaving the network, it's a matter of whether they could be coerced by an authoritarian government to alter transactions.
So they've discussed DoS? Ahhh... They're trying to sell themselves as security experts.
I'd like to think that but, hiring for a couple open roles posted only internally at a FAANG, I definitely received emails from external individuals inquiring about the role - and found out there's a whole cottage…
I've worked in both sorts of companies. The constant questioning may work well at smaller scale but kills productivity at larger scales. Putting aside that it inevitably becomes a political exercise as much as a…
At some point, the cargo cult are the promo reviewers and then the two become the same thing.
Depends on who you count as employees - Sergey? Larry?
Downvote though you may, you misunderstand containers - they are not simulating a whole operating system (that would be a VM), they are using features built into Linux to isolate tasks running on the same OS kernel to…
The dogma generally becomes accepted because it outperforms other known strategies. In a game like Go, that could previously take a while because there are so many possible follow-ups that it takes time to accumulate…
As a thought experiment, let's say Facebook did this. The red team designs a new streamlined look with less click baity posts and fewer ads. Users flock to it, abandoning the existing platform. The new platform isn't…
The environment you describe is self-destructive, which is why it is rare throughout history. Xerox PARC did it, and reaped almost none of the rewards for their innovation, so it perished. It only worked for Bell Labs…
Having experience both inside and out, I find large tech to be uniquely bad in this regard, but for an unexpected reason. Whereas outside large tech, managers are typically part product manager, part tech lead, part…
Hard pass - many languages simply don't prioritize the experience of executing shell commands.
I think you have it backwards - most people don't know what AI as a product really accomplishes. They're probably more accepting of products that use AI when it enhances an experience they already understand and want.
Glad to hear it's a non-profit but do you publish executive compensation? Particularly given these are loans to businesses, it sounds like lots of people are making a profit from these projects, but not the people…
Yes, but it only takes a very small generator to power the fans vs. a huge one to power a heat pump.
The only thing stopping me from buying a great pump is how unreliable the power grid is in my area. Lines are above ground, with numerous trees overhanging them so a snow storm is high risk for a power outage at a time…
Funny how crypto folk constantly talk about libertarian ideals, except when other people exercise their right not to do business with planet destroying scam artists.
Honestly, the article rambled & ranted as much as it informed. TL;DR: Check cashing exists because banks don't want to deal with people who deposit checks with a high risk profile (whether due to fraud or lack of funds…
Not admitting senior leaders screwed up the strategy and over-hired.
Her ability to "just move on" may be compromised by having a very short stay on her resume, and no reference. I hope she finds something else quickly but many companies look for any red flags as sufficient reason not to…
Saw a variation of this during the recent bout of tech layoffs. Shortly before end of year eval time, a senior executive sent out emails questioning whether it was even possible for new hires to have made sufficient…
I ride the subway daily and fully support cracking down on fare jumpers. People have become pretty brazen about it - even many who clearly have the means to pay jump it just because they know no one will do anything…
That sounds like an attempt to ban political expression that is certainly protected by the First Amendment.
