What is the intent of SK's policy?

Source on this?

the SAT of the 70s were much more of an IQ test than now. I'd be surprised if Kaplan prep could raise more than 20 or 30 points on average.

Also, having used Kaplan's prep material... They're pretty bad. But that was in the early 2010s for myself so they might have fallen in quality.

wow, interesting. Why does it only apply to companies with more than 15 people? Is it the idea that you're more likely to have family help (and only family being willing to help) when your company (more small business than traditional startup) is this small?

Any guesses on why Atlanta companies would rather hire African / Caribbean engineers than African American engineers?

3 of my friends got this, all at Facebook. Not to say this is standard, but this is not outlier. Some hedge funds pay more.

AFAIK only Facebook gives 100k signing, and it's usually for returning interns and after negotiation with competing offers (usually other FANG or hedge fund offers).

Most of my friends pay $1500-$1800 for a bedroom in an apartment. Those paying $2400 all have 1BD or studios.

Check Zillow for prices.

I am currently living in a gigantic 3BD for $5200.

If I would maximize that I'd just go to Facebook or something like that. Sticking to startups for now.

Could they dilute people like that? From 5% to 0.5%? That dilutes everyone else as well though, right (I guess the new shares can be given to the founders so they aren't diluted).

Meh, Guns, Germs, and Steel get a lot of criticism to be honest [1]. You can find plenty of counter examples that Diamond does not address.

Are you seriously saying Stanford doesn't have the same cache as Berkeley, MIT, or CMU in CS because you couldn't name something invented from Stanford?

How about number of Turing laureates? Stanford has the most for alumni + faculty, and comes second if you only count alumni (to Berkeley), and comes second if you just count long-term faculty (to MIT), and comes first for short-term faculty.[0]
