It's actually not better than none, but feel free to believe whatever you want to.

When I interviewed there, every single person who spoke to me talked about their 1-1-1 thing. Might be interview training though.

Your number, IMO, seems low if you're in the bay area.

praneshp··on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless
Haven't read the article yet, do you mean airlines other than emirates? They have 3 or 4 cameras with decent views, but you cannot really make out clouds
praneshp··on I’m Nat Friedman, Future CEO of GitHub. AMA
My counter argument is that these questions can be asked, it's none of your business to sayt what questions should not be asked on a reddit community. Historically, r/(I)AMA has been just that, and the ducks question is part of the community's history now (I can't think of a semi-famous AMA in the last year where that question wasn't asked).

More importantly, it's an ama, and the fact that he is about to be github CEO is secondary. We don't want movie stars coming there just for their latest release (if you overdo it, it's a disaster. Google Rampart AMA)

Finally, my intention was to be brief, but stop short of disrespect (and I am sorry if it offended you). Unfortunately I seem to have approached you with the same condescension you showed for (I)AMA's users

Sure

praneshp··on Oracle’s Aggressive Sales Tactics Are Backfiring with Customers
If you had continued to read on: "In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic."

Anyway, I was not 100% correct, I didn't know about the workaround requirement.
