There's a SWE II at Affirm earning ~$2M base? Surely that's some sort of data error?

Fun! Love the sound effects.
How do legislators just allow this? Isn't this cut and dry illegal?

Fascinating. How does this work?
Most country clubs in the US will have different initiation fees and monthly dues based on age. How do they get away with it?

> Adda is a beloved pastime that's unique to Kolkata

As others have pointed out. The idea of Adda isn't that uncommon. Even the specific word, Adda, is just as native to Bangladesh. The Bengali ethnicity extends beyond the Indian border. Wish the author had mentioned that.

When I was a senior in college, I had lined up 3 virtual onsites with Groupon. I forget what the question was, but I bombed the first interview so hard they cancelled the rest of the day :(

At the time it hurt, a lot. Looking back, I guess I understand. It wasn't worth their time to invest 2 more hours in interviewing a person who was so obviously not meeting their bar.

I'll do you one better. Have you used Workday?
This is great. I might use it next time I'm job hunting.
Wow the amount of effort here is incredible. Good job!
Not trying to be snarky, genuinely asking. In the context of tech, what's a product based company? What isn't?
I meant the ATG employees. And they were getting Uber stock as part of their compensation. Source: me, a former Uber ATG employee.
Genuinely wondering -

- How a 600 person company will determine who among the 1200 at ATG gets acquihired?

- How will the Uber employee unvested stocks get paid out (or not) in an almost no cash deal?

Interesting tidbit:

> We tested the Redirect Method in an ISIS-focused campaign in Arabic and English. Over the course of 8 weeks, 320,000 individuals watched over half a million minutes of the 116 videos we selected to refute ISIS's recruiting themes.

> polish your political skill

Genuinely curious to know what this means.

My Pet Peeve: Google doesn't let you unsubscribe to YouTube TV emails via their "Unsubsribe" button.

Re:Uber cuts 3000 more jobs, closes 45 offices on Monday May 18, 2020 @05:08PM (#23228388)
I only speak for myself and my own observations - both morale and productivity have been low the past 2 weeks.
Re:Building Uber’s Go Monorepo with Bazel on Thursday May 14, 2020 @02:38PM (#23183541)
FWIW, Uber ATG uses the same monorepo culture with Bazel. It has for some time now. And most of the stuff is written in C++.

Damn, say what you will about FB, that's a gesture and a half.

I don't know if this is intentional, but the testimonials keep changing before I've had a chance to finish reading them. Bad UX imo. Why put em there if I can't read them properly?

What an absurdly unhelpful comment.

There's nothing abnormal about you Ryan. I hope you find something interesting and educational to do. I'm excited to see where you end up.
