Nice, meanwhile the bigger CTO (Suresh Kumar) can stay in Sunnyvale

To be fair both of them probably didn't imagine Stripe would be the one today. You can apply the same logic for any successful companies, like the guy who gave up 10% of Apple for some changes.

Bring these questions (especially 1. and 2.) to r/wallstreetbets and check the answers yourself.

Sound like he is selling snake oil.

Someone should create a gofundme page for the guy to fight this nonsense in court.

Can't agree more. How long have they been collecting money from customer for this promise?

This! Your body will benefit from happy hormones produced after workout. I was in similar position and running 3-4 times a week helped a lot.

Welcome to California!

$65 per hour was a "good" rate for the Bay Area

It's like $130k/year, I don't think you can even find an average engineer at this price

The difference is the jet often has 2 pilots, so they can take turn to nap.

>Isn't the important thing I actually need to know to understand what happened here buried towards the bottom of this story

This is the major reason I unsubscribed from Wired, most articles from them are unnecessary long yet convey only a few major points, while coloring other minor points with too many unrelated facts.

I guess there are readers who enjoys that writing style but for a case like this, I just don't understand the motives.

I think it's too late, they already have planned to fork from Android for years, this (potentially permanent) ban just motivated them to speed up the process.

I second this is not about US security but about Google losing their mobile market share.

I'm not sure how a professor at a pretty good school like NYU has a blunt tone like this.

Beside personally criticizing people by their personal choice, which I found baseless, there is zero information here. There are people with that life style like that all the time, just because they happen to be tech CEO doesn't mean it's a sign to a macro thing like bubble.

One thing I've been regreting the most after 10 year living in the valley is that I shouldn't have listened to the 'tech bubble' propaganda back in 2016, nor delayed buying my first house, which should have saved me ton of cash.

Recently I think the scandals haven't been the single biggest factor when deciding between Facebook and other firms.

The common reason I heard from most of my friends who turned down FB, or quitted FB was that the working culture is too demanding and kind of pressure. Google on the other hand is more laid back and family friendly. So people who started building a family will prefer Google over FB. The nice thing is FB tends to offer higher level than Google, so in some cases, if you get matched, it works out pretty well.

I have a friend who worked at FB, after he came back from paternity leave, his manager told him he has been slacking (his reviews were always "meet all"/"exceeding" before), it's time to put in more work, he quitted after a month.

While I'm not quite sure about Tesla's responsibility, I do think CA DOT has its part in this tragic accident. Had the attenuator been replaced right after the previous accident, it could have saved the driver's life.

Usually I don't complain much about the gov, but just look at the construction mess they've created on 101, it's been like that for more than 4 years!

Can we just stop with the 'Apple stopped innovating' propaganda, the same thing can be said about any big corps, be it Google/FB/Netflix/...

Innovation doesn't just mean creating new products (the Airpod is one of Apple's killer product by the way), improving current products used by millions of people while keeping them coming back to buy more and more is not easy, this is also counted as innovation in my book.

It's funny how they put CA EV Rebate in the 'after savings' part. This rebate has income cap at $300k/household. If I made less than that, I would think really hard before purchasing a $90k car.

It seems like being academically excellent and being successful in industry are totally different things. I still remember the hype about Udacity and Coursera a few years ago.

Beside VmWare and Akamai, I haven't seen any company founded by university faculty that have survived and made impact (even though VMware was tiny compared to what it is today when EMC acquired them)

I still don't understand why the last investor is the first one to be able to cash out. Is this common in startup?

I was thinking the first investor is the one that took the big risk investing in the company, shouldn't they have the rights to cash out first when there is a liquidation event?

In this case, he should have recruited students who are well versed in these things to help conducting the course as TAs. He could have only taught about the principal/design, and let the TAs teach the real coding part.

I found this approach is very effective for students because they basically learn the skills from their peers or even roommates, and if they are friends on campus, they can ask questions any time outside of TA hours. My alma mater has an excellent undergrad TA program where students who performed well in the course are recruited to be TAs when the course is offered later again.

If FAANG market caps keep being flat like last year, I would say the situation will become stable, not exploding like the last 5 year where those stocks have gone up 4-5 times.

Only married couple who both work in tech can afford buying a home, and major of them still need to send kids to private schools because only a handful of cities have good public schools, and these cities are extremely expensive (Palo Alto, Los Altos,...)

I can see you're not from a hot job market for software engineer.

Here (Bay Area) people usually don't apply for jobs, specially jobs at startups, unless they're really into the products/team/tech/... Even old-school walking-dead companies like Cisco/IBM/HPE pay way better than most startups in term of cash compensation. And given the high risk of failure, startup should sell itself hard to attract talents.

I also found those questions are normal, far from being arrogant.

Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for people with high prizes in ICPC, which is way more difficult than IOI in high school. I was just stating the fact.

Russia and China have a huge tradition in preparing and participating in those competitions, while in US, I found it's more like of a hobby, so I'm not surprised given both founders are Russians.

This happened to my friend last year, her security camera captured the whole thing: driver dropped off the package, took a picture as proof of delivery, then picked up the package. She didn't report to the police in fear of retaliation.

He said they had his transcript from the beginning, this is definitely a bad move from Google, or the hiring process is not communicated clearly across teams.

No comment about the age cap but I've witnessed a lot of people (especial those with H4 visas) who are over 30, coming here without programming background, going to local CalState schools for an MS in CS/Stats, most of them were able to find job after graduation. The high living cost in the Bay Area is the motivation, it's difficult to raise a family with only 1 income

I wonder how much Sebastian Thrun was involved during this time frame. Isn't he also a key player behind Google self-driving car project? I don't even remember whether he was on the witness stand during the trial between Google and Uber.

I don't get it, why the criminal gangs want to get attention by including those words in their ads?

Agree, one thing I observe in many kids that have screen-time restriction is that they tend to sneakily watch at any chance they can find: at their friend house, at BestBuy, Target,.. you name it.

Since my daughter turned 3, I allowed her to watch 1 hour/day (2 hours during weekend), and have been very consistent to this rule. After a few weeks, she voluntarily turns off her iPad after the quota ends and plays with her toys, lego,... And she shows no desire to sneakily watch like other kids that being restricted, and never throws tantrum over it. I don't know if this is considered "self driven" but I'm very happy with the way she behaves.

Technology is part of our life, don't understand why parents chose to exclude it from their kids.
