I don't know of any, but seems like a great app idea. People are often looking for best <insert-food-name> in the area as opposed to "best restaurant in the area".

A friend's friend. Working in Amazon for 15-16 years (still not manager). His stock would easily make him a millionaire. He puts minimal effort just enough not to get fired, doesn't care about promotions, works 6-7 hour days and has a good life. My friend asked him why doesn't he quit? He said this job gives him something to do.

Iirc, staff SWE is Google's equivalent of Principal Engineer.

Others here would be in far better position to advice you, but from what I can say, having an awesome github portfolio will go a long way to compensate for the other handicaps you mentioned.

Once you are there, I'd say the best way would be to find someone in your network who works at google, and get referred. If you don't know anyone, make contacts through various channels.

European tech salaries are famously lower than US salaries.

Southern Europe is even worse. I was offered a role of Senior/Lead engineer (with over 10 years exp) for "maximum salary of 45k Euro". And was told by their recruiter that this is considered high for Spain.

I don't know, information shared in a comment has more authenticity and can encompass more info (such as other types of comps/benefits) than spreadsheet/form.

And Ireland. :)

I have. Like I said in the other comment, glassdoor (and similar sites) lump together salaries that were collected for as long as the site exists, while in reality the salaries have changed a lot over last 10 years.

I respect your decision not wanting to discuss your salary publicly. May I suggest a throwaway? :)

There is one major problem with glassdoor - the salaries that are collected today are grouped together with salaries that were collected 7 years ago. Which is why you always see lower salaries looking at the glassdoor.

This post is to get a (however small) current sample and it is purely to help me evaluate a couple of opportunities, no commercial interest whatsoever.

I have a question: what does this mean for theoretical physics? (except for Einstein was right) Does it settle any major debates? Does it make any competing theory more or less likely?

Sorry I am not vary knowledgeable on the topic.

> but the fact that he stubbornly continued them for few days without noticing that the girl is completely turned off and freaked out by him.

She says she laughed at the sexual comments made by her manager.

> I remember thinking to myself, “Did I do something to encourage this kind of behaviour?” I had uncomfortably laughed at some of the sexual comments my manager had made because I didn’t know how else to react as a junior member of the team. Should I not have done that?

To be fair, in the write-up, she says she laughed at the sexual comments made by her manager.

>I remember thinking to myself, “Did I do something to encourage this kind of behaviour?” I had uncomfortably laughed at some of the sexual comments my manager had made because I didn’t know how else to react as a junior member of the team. Should I not have done that?

And the facts about her 'harassment' are covered in one sentence in the whole article.

> In that week, I was kissed on the cheek, asked to sit on my manager’s lap, told about my manager’s sex life and virility, and told that “all men go through an Asian fetish at some time,”

She doesn't provide any context and keeps it as vague as possible. If you think about it, all/most of those things could have been light jokes that weren't specifically targeted to her. And I am certainly not defending her manager, but I still maintain that she did use this situation to her advantage. Getting a promotion, writing about it several years later in an attempt to promote her current startup.

I am member of a minority, and have had more than one chance to go to the HR to report "being racially abused" and present the narrative in such a way that anyone would be convinced it was horrible.

Firstly, what happened to her is definitely misconduct, but not sexual harassment. I get the impression that the "victim" here is trying to take advantage of the situation. She never asks the inappropriate person to stop here, instead goes to HR. I mean just in plain words "Please don't, this is inappropriate." would stop most such behavior from happening again in huge majority of cases.

> During the HR investigation that ensued, I remember being shamed by a female colleague who thought I was blowing the situation out of proportion. She thought I was being overly sensitive, and that it was wrong of me to report my manager. That hurt. I thought she would’ve naturally supported me.

"Being shamed"? What if that female colleague honestly thought that she was blowing the situation out of proportion? A mere disagreement is shaming? Just because someone thinks they are 'sexually harassed' doesn't make them right automatically. I mean is there any scenario where someone claiming they are harassed could be on the wrong side of the things (or blowing things out of proportion)? It seems the SF/valley area atleast is too politically correct to even entertain the possibility that the female could possibly be wrong or making a mistake. Anyone that doesn't agree with a narrow notion of SJW equality is literally the devil. And this sort of trend has made 'being victim' a somewhat coveted status that can be used for gaining publicity/career advances.

But what about bandwidth? That's still shared among all the users, right?

And given that they are even advertising 'Seedboxes' and VPN servers [0] hosted in the same network, it makes me doubt the quality of network even more.

Do you hire engineers from Europe?

I might be missing something important here. But according to their pricing page[1], a preemtible VM with 30GB memory costs $86.4 a month.

Why would someone go for this when cheap dedicated host providers like hetzner etc offer powerful dedicated servers with 64GB memory and multicore server grade CPUs? The comparison only gets worse taking into account that Google's offering is preemptible and can shutdown and come up as they wish.

I am really happy to see Telegram growing. I am one of those people who deleted Whatsapp (and lost touch with 30-40 people and several groups) when Facebook bought it.

So far I have been happy with it, even though only like 5 of my friends use it. Yeah, it may (or may not) have security flaws like many on HN complain, but I would take it anyday over FB owned give-us-all-your-data product.

To further clarify, the service aimed at users who like their privacy but do not have enough time or skill to maintain their own server, neither have IT team at their disposal.

Thanks for the feedback, that was helpful. :)

BBC is linkbaiting now?

One tweet didn't wipe $8bn off its value, the results did. If the results were released next day, it still would have lost value ffs. I feel angry reading through this and realizing it was a waste of time fluff.

Say what you will, its evident that HN crowd loves sensationalism more than content, as seen again and again.

Simple solutions are often the best ones.

Out of curiosity, how (if at all) was that person rewarded for saving Millions for the company?

Where does the author establish that people are not enthused about gcc anymore? Or does he not even imply that?

To be honest, I am half-scared of taking equity instead of cash pay. The reason is, I don't understand it as well as I should. It always scares me to think that through some VC-magic, whatever equity I have could end up nearly worthless (possibly an irrational fear since I don't understand the whole mechanism).

This is definitely a great negotiation advice. I probably could negotiate better terms. But still it'd still start us (employee and employer) on the wrong foot. They'd think I am being greedy and I'd think this is a place where founders would always try to screw me over - breaking mutual trust - effectively ruining the positive spirit of working together.

Default.

Interesting to see that choosing Experimental interface fixes the problem!

In the search results, the "link" part, which is supposed to point to the HN discussion instead points to hn.algolia.com

For every single link in the search results which are HN text submissions. The article submissions still point to the correct link.

For Google/Apple it makes sense, but this is the case with all the handset manufacturers. Like, what does HTC, LG etc have to gain by limiting storage size?

Why the storage on all high end phones is stuck at 64gb? I honestly would like to have more storage space.

I use plex and host all the content on my local HDD. You can buy 2x3GB Raid drives for under $200. Much more cost effective imo. I wonder why you use Dropbox to store all that data?

Its mildly frustrating that I have to click a link to know whether it's something I would have wanted to click or not.

Why not, "Mailvelope - OpenPGP encryption for webmail"?

Its makes me sad to think a government of a nation with so little prosperity somehow has money to spend on this kind of shit.
