The biggest winner in all this will be Netflix. They’re the only profitable streaming service and we’ll see all these streamers consolidate and either sell their catalogs again or cut down on spending

Just feels like a marketing gimmick tbh. This won’t work well enough for semi technical BI people to just use it out of the box without some gnarly debugging

That user name though

spiderPig | 5 years ago | on: The technical interview practice gap

Very clever post encouraging companies to spend more on this trite style of interviewing perpetuated by Aline, Gayle and the leetcode gang. Who offers said mock interviews at $100 a pop? Well interviewing.io of course!

Good to see The Verge investing in these types of articles instead of the usual tech drama

Turns out solving 3000 Leetcode questions doesn't teach you now to do security right

As an Aussie, I was expecting a mob of angry Sheep ;)

$120 billion? Wow, so SoftBank 3x’ed their $7bn investment in a year?

I would rather wait for the Magic carpet service due by 2025.

RIP Uber.

Indeed, kudos to them having the gall to do such a thing. Heavily lobbied congressmen would never do such a thing or even implement something like GDPR here.

This. Why put them through the whole interview gauntlet? Sheer arrogance

They only show up in threads praising Google as a utopia.

Zuck's always been a sore loser.

Our company is dependent on this as well and the way customer service has been handling this has been abysmal thus far.

Tech industry is not part of Bannon's platform? https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/2/14472404/st...

The terms "tech oligarchs" have been part of his verbal repertoire throughout the campaign.
