We rented but we know a lot of parents that didn't because they didn't want a "used" bed for their newborn. To each their own.
Maybe, but the extra few hours we got of sleep each night meant the quality of interaction/bonding during our awake hours was higher.
I took a look at the features that are locked out and they seem reasonable to be behind a subscription as they require costs to maintain. Almost all of the features that do not require some sort of cloud service…
Allergies are weird and our understanding of them is very incomplete. My son has/had a peanut allergy (very successful oral immunotherapy, knock on wood) and I ended up doing a lot of research. One study that is…
Yeah no argument on prestigious, just noting the comp differences.
In general, the compensation is much less than engineers at the same level but the potential for career growth beyond senior is much easier.
YMMV, but my experience is very different from what you mention above. Every company I've been at has paid very close attention to ensure that women are treated fairly with the understanding that these biases exist. But…
This may be true. As I noted, I've only worked at very "desirable" companies so my views are potentially skewed. That being said, I can't imagine that DEI has gotten significantly worse across the industry while vastly…
I don't feel the same. The last decade or so has seen an explosion of women show interest in joining the tech community. Ratio's on teams I've been on has greatly increased throughout my career. I've been on several…
In Japan, it's often significantly cheaper to fly than take a train. You can fly from Tokyo to Osaka one-way on budget airlines for <$50 but a one-way train on cheapest shinkansen is about 30% more (even more for a…
The trip from Tokyo to Kyoto goes through several cities that have >200k people living in them, several of them being larger than Sacramento. Your point about Tokyo -> Kyoto doesn't change the previous issue of…
There's a lot of missing information here that can change things. * Have y'all formed a corporation already? * What sort of equity split did you decide in the early days and do you have it in writing? * Did you have…
I used to work at a Chinese tech company. I hear that it's pretty common to use aliases, instead of your real name, due to anti-compete clauses when you switch between companies. Even if a company had the ability to do…
If I recall the plot properly, Frank was also testifying as he believed that Michael had betrayed him by siding with another local gang which turned out to be false.
When's the last time you were in Japan? I can't remember the last time I carried cash in JP unless I knew, ahead of time, that I was going to a ramen joint that used a vending machine. Between Suica on your phone and a…
It's because there's a huge shortage of parking spots and too many cars in Korea, particularly in big cities. It's customary to just park illegally and rely on the other party calling you if you're blocking them in.
I don't think the Japanese entity and US entity have any relation to each other anymore. I think US entity divested itself of Yahoo Japan completely in 2018 or so. Yahoo Japan is now collectively owned by Softbank and…
I'm not sure if it's comparable, but the Japanese Shinkansen had similar issues when it's first built. A lot of the stations didn't go through the existing central stations due to costs and other logistical problems.…
I've mostly worked at FAANG and in general I think it breaks down to (but obviously generalization)... 1. Juniors like to come into the office. For those that went from fully remote to -> hybrid, they really relish the…
A sense of a large portion of the porn industry, whether domestic or international, is developed through coercion, abuse, and sometimes straight up sex trafficking of vulnerable people? For every legitimate…
Thanks for the that insight. When I was working with folks in the LON office they were often stressed about the probationary period and relieved once it was over. It sounds like they were potentially misinformed about…
That's a fair point. I think what I was alluding to was that I'm not sure if they did any cuts in the LON office during their first layoff announcements due to potential labor laws as it relates to incoming folks. With…
I think roles in LON are considered probationary for the first 6 months... so technically I suppose they are not considered equivalent to FTE roles in the States. You normally go through a probation review in which they…
I previously worked at Facebook/Instagram for ~10 years and conducted over 1800 interviews (got the t-shirts and hoodie to prove it). leetcode style problems are at the core of the "ninja" interviews. In fact, a lot of…
