Similar story. Moved to Bay Area, coworker recommended dentist told me I need to pull all 3 wisdom teeth left and get a night guard. Quotes me >$3500.
Funny that I went to the dentist in my home country just before I moved and they said all good. Went to another dentist (which I'm still with and absolutely love) and over past 4 years we haven't pulled a single wisdom tooth and I still don't have a night guard.
You need to go one level lower. Your proposed solution works in countries that have a working social system. Current state and history of the US prevents your proposal to improve anything.
If everyone in a country feels valuable and equitable coming up with solutions that benefit everyone is very easy. As it stands in the US there will always be someone that sees themselves losing something and prevents any improvement.
Fuck San Francisco.
Glad you are gone.
Property crime in SF is likely grossly under-reported
Hearsay.
E.g. constant car break-ins is useless to report
Not if you want to file an insurance claim, no. Or for example if you oppose car break-ins, then you might want the statistics to be correct.
Well to be fair, transferring money instantly would be pretty great for 2020.
I mean, the only way I can pay rent to my landlord in 2020 is by having my bank send them a physical check that takes 5d to arrive (during which time no-one gets any interest), or then use multiple Zelle payments since I have an artificial cap that is lower than my rent.
To give an analogue in the English language: you wouldn't address your boss with "yo n"
Not even close, not even close. Why would you even write this? This must be a dog whistle.
Edit: that link you posted justs lists the €600 as "this happened once and depends on income of offender", also there is no source.
In addition, the intro paragraph says
Es gibt jedoch bei Beleidigung keinen „Bußgeldkatalog“. Vor Gericht wird der Straftatbestand der Beleidigung verurteilt.
which translates to there is no schedule of penalties but it all depends on the statutory offence. So my understanding is there was a criminal offence that included an insult (saying "Du") which was mentioned in the report but not the cause for the fine in the first place.
Ok, I studied algorithms, got rejected at the paper round. Now what? The tough part isn't passing the interview, it's getting a chance in the first place.
This resonates. I'm a senior engineer with CS master from top university, 10yoe with leadership skills that prepared the past 4 months and solved over 200 coding challenges. I contacted 18 companies (starting 3 months ago), some of them referrals, some of them from company recruiters reaching out to me (Facebook, Google).
I passed the Google onsite and made it to the FB onsite. I passed all the stages for another company with a "did fantastic" rating but then got denied onsite for unknown reasons.
That means I got through one single paper round from 18 outreachs and it's very frustrating since the ratio is much worse than when I applied 4 years ago with much less experience and requiring a H1B sponsorship. I have so much fire in me to work on consumer products (which my current job doesn't allow) it makes me explode.
Had a similar experience to `maxyazhbin`. I got very positive feedback about all of triplebyte, phone interview (2 engineers), and engineering manager chat. I really enjoyed the people and was super excited about the consumer product (first yellow flag was that after each part it took 7-14days for recruiter to get back to me)
Then I had a very odd call with the recruiter (doing his dishes) trying to make me aggressively reveal what other companies I talk to and agree on a non-negotiable TC. When I didn't express instant excitement and asked clarifying questions (no signing or relocation bonus) I was told there are frankly other candidates that are happy with the TC and there is only one role to fill.
Between the lines I could hear that they wanted to minimize the number of onsites and reduce the chance that you take a better offer at another company.
Makes me think there might be a culture at Coinbase where people are drilled not to ask questions in fear of repercussions.
Weirdest interviewing experience ever with a less than optimal communication from the recruiter.
