With all flashy racial movements and Amendments, US still somehow makes it to the bottom 10 countries for racial equality, even worse than a totalitarian country. There is nothing wrong with US racial system. The survey is wrong. You are doing great. Keep heading to that direction.

> Why is it more ethical to favor those born with ability than to favor those born with connections?
Because this is the land of opportunity. See for yourself how a privileged spoiled brat from Ivy league universities behaves in this country [0]

> They have a point based system which lets decently talented immigrants in
I keep hearing about Indian tech talents but I haven't met one in real life yet. The ones I know are very good at nepotism. They usually exaggerate each other's works and belittle non-Indians' works. At my workplace, many even take credits of others. I understand that they are doing all of these to reinforce the rumor of Indian tech talents and to pressure managers to hire more Indians. However, I must admit that I haven't met one with actual technical skills and decent characters. IMO, many are political talents.
Do you consider yourself lucky or it's a normal career path for all PhDs?
No racial profile but there is a section about racism in the CS Department. LOL
All talk no action. That's how horrible technical interviews exist to this day. We should all turn away from such discussion since it just wastes hours of people's life for no results as we soon realize that 'interviewers keep asking these questions because they can'

As an Asian, I disapprove this message.

What do you do if they then steal your idea?

No, this will expose evidences of institutional and systemic racism and question people about the country name. Should it be United State or Segregated State?
Stanford is just being passive-aggressive.

Keep in mind they not only give scholarships but also education to the least in need .
> I (and probably everyone else) would really like to see if this at all correlates with future performance metrics.
I don't see how it's not possible. If your manager likes you, s/he will give you good reviews.
Thank you for sharing your story. Happened to me several times too. Once I received a rejection letter with 200 other candidates in CC list. We had a good conversation with each others.
Hiring in this country is a joke.
I know I am not. Maybe his data only captures US audience.
Even when you hobby is watching porn?

Does it mean I can integrate deep learning models into Android applications as well?
If you do not get an offer even though you did well on technical questions(verified your answers online). Should you reapply? Why? Personally I think it's the sign of cultural fit issue so they unlikely will like you just because you reapply.
If they like you, no whiteboard coding will be given. If they don't, you can do perfectly on whiteboard coding and still get rejected. This applies to all companies not just Amazon.
var = variable (can vary/change)
val = value (constant)
What can be mistaken?
When I first learned C#, I was having a hard time to navigate the code due to partial methods. So I have always wondered what C# developers think of having their methods spread out in different files.
What do you think of partial classes and methods in term of code quality?
> That's not true
It's true for not so good schools.
I am about to ask the same question. LOL
You can accept their invitation and screw up on the onsite interview. Just enjoy visiting whatever city that they fly you to.
