Because it’s one of the biggest tech companies and its results foreshadow earnings for other tech companies. Just look at the after hours price movements of most of the tech stocks.
Perhaps you are using the wrong language. You should probably just stick with python or javascript where they just have simple lists and maps and pretty much nothing else.
If you have a non trivial application, multiprocessing just takes a lot of memory. Every child process that you create duplicates the parent memory. There are some interesting hacks like gc.freeze that exploits the copy on write feature of forks to reduce memory, but ultimately you can just create a few hundred of processes compared to thousands of threads because of memory consumption.
Blind is even worse than Glassdoor. Last I checked, it had some kind of weird restriction about if you are not in a big tech or a well known startup, you can’t see any reviews.
I know there are already guns that have fingerprint unlock feature. I wonder if the US constitution allows states to require such fingerprint unlock on all new guns.
Going a step further, I think google should stop crawling websites that are paywalled. When I search for something, I want to see results that I can click on. Not some snippets from NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg and others which are heavily paywalled.
I wonder why Canadians always look at housing from the demand perspective. What about supply? Canada is big. Unless everyone is trying to live in Vancouver and Toronto, there is more than enough space to build houses. Do you not have enough construction workers to build houses?
If you have travelled through the NJ portion of I-95, and stopped at any service stations, you quickly realize how stupid this law is. A single attendant trying to fill gas for 10 cars. Drivers just waiting in line for 20 minutes to fill their gas!
If this massively increases the cost of online deliveries, won’t it reduce demand significantly? Unless they limit or freeze who can do online deliveries (like they do for uber and lyft), I am not sure if the workers will really be better off.
Won’t things like blanket student loan forgiveness or very cheap student loans make such moral hazards even worse? Publishers, college administrators, football coaches, etc. will try to extract as much as possible from the free student loans provided by the government.
Tesla’s insistence on using vision alone is pretty dumb. Elon and Andrej Karpathy argued that since humans can drive using just vision, that’s how we should do it in self driving cars, but I think that’s a flawed argument. The proper question to ask would be - if given additional senses, wouldn’t humans use them for safer driving?
Writing correct distributed CRUD is hard. I have interviewed quite a few people who didn’t have a clue about how to insert into a table without creating data races.
That’s assuming that companies have high margins and just have wads of cash to throw at employees. That’s probably not true for majority of the small companies - startups, restaurants and small moms and pops shops.
