What was your prep strategy?

If you play any notes within a scale they are guaranteed to sound good together. Note: I'm not an expert, correct me if I'm wrong.

Airbnb used to have a header X-Hi-Airbnb with a hiring manager's email a while ago. I imagine they got rid of it because of the volume of emails.

I remember I checked Hinge API a few years ago and the exposed their users last name. Wonder if this has been fixed by now.

Twitter was the most useful social network for me personally, depending on who you follow you can come across some interesting ideas there.

Yet, after a few months “sober” I wonder if I might be missing out. Is the signal to noise ratio high enough to justify using Twitter these days if you are not a major celebrity and don’t intend to promote something?

What metrics would you consider when it comes to aircraft safety?

How would you define sensitive content? The real challenge here is to train a classifier.

Except that work visas are virtually impossible to get these days.

Even though it’s extremely promising, I think it’s too early to start learning it, as you won’t be able to use in production for the next couple years because of the lack of backward compatibility.

The clients are available under GPLv3.

Does it require any additional configuration?

The issue is not so much the diversity of clients, but fragmentation caused by proprietary protocols they use.

Why would you want to have a green card as a Canadian citizen thought?

> This is what I'm talking about. The employer will dangle this prize in front of you for as long as they can and will continue to hold off on promotions and keep your salary the same for as long as possible. This is why Canadian salaries remain low, because there will be another sucker that comes along and will also be offered the same "we'll give you a promotion in a few years!" or "we'll transfer you to the US soon! very very soon!" line and they'll accept it.

After 3 years of being a permanent resizent you can apply for citizenship, and getting one is pretty easy if you work in tech. Companies don't really have that much of leverage on you, especially in comparison with US with a dangling carrot of H1Bs and green cards.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a comprehensive argument of why absolute privacy is essential? I understand the possibility of abuse of the power granted to governments, but is there a solution for identifying malicious actors that doesn't involve privacy compromises?

Could you share the link to the post?

> Even if you’re not a wizard with words, dating sites also offer an absolute advantage: the sheer number of users. How can you find love that’s one in a million by hanging out at a bar that welcomes at most five new faces every night? Do “friends of friends” introduce you to 20 potential dates a day?

This assumption strikes me as a fallacy. I never understood why even bother with online dating where odds are severely skewed for guys, when it's so much easier to find dates through your social circle, aka simply doing what you love and organically surrounding yourself with interesting women.

> North America’s fourth-largest city is also cheaper: Its computer engineers and programmers earn salaries that are on average $71,000 a year lower than their counterparts in San Francisco

It's $71,000 lower than engineering salaries in SF according to the article

What were your key takeaways from 4-hour Workweek?

Personally, I dropped reading it when it switched from generic motivational pep talk to praising virtual assistants.

What other things you look at in potential candidates?

Volition is not the same thing as free will.

The only way to know for sure is to verify your friend's signature in offline.

But you are expected to find the most optimal solution to a problem, and not just a brute force one. And usually an optimal approach would require advanced knowledge of algorithms and data structures.

How would you go about mastering the principles rather than practicing random algorithmic challenges?

The article is, unfortunately, lacking in substance. For example, the author applied to 20 jobs and got interviews with 6. This is an incredible success rate. I'm guessing he had referrals from hiring managers and didn't just apply through a CTS.

Great team player. I hope you hired him.

> I've seen a lot of remote startups offering salaries around $100k USD, independent of location.

As long as it's within US?
