Median employee tenure is almost entirely dominated by things other than employees leaving. A company that is not hiring will not have any new employees and as a result have a really high median tenure.

The question you really want to ask is: what's the percentage of people leaving each year?

It isn't just data centers, they're going to hit 100% renewables for global operations.

From Google's 2016 energy report: "And in 2017 Google will reach 100% renewable energy for our global operations..."

Just to be clear, 7% of Apple's global power is still dirty and they have not made any public commitment to bring that down any further.

Google is a much much larger energy consumer, has been carbon neutral since 2007, and is going to use 100% renewables globally within the next year.

Also, Google made its energy company play back in 2010. Apple made theirs in 2016.

They definitely try their best to give every candidate as fair a shot as possible, but there's always going to be error. It becomes a question of what type of error hurts more, accidentally rejecting someone who's qualified or accepting someone who isn't. They reasonably believe the latter is significantly more dangerous.

You know exactly what he meant. You are using the word design in a different way than him.

There's absolutely a part of the brain that specializes processing visual information, just as there are organs throughout the rest of your body that specialize with other different tasks.
