Yeah, I was confused at that implication. I don't think these are designed for training!

(If they are or can be, I'm interested)

> I went to one of the listed "second-tier universities" and work at FANG (and to be clear, not Amazon),

And in what way exactly is Amazon different?

Also it is indeed possible to be pro-Biden and not just anti-Sanders.

It's not a humblebrag, it's an actual brag. If OP was actually concerned about their situation they wouldn't have included "Google" in the title.

People like OP make me sick.

They have to fight even for the #3 spot. They're currently losing to Alibaba!

No headphone jack, which is big for me. If I was willing to ditch the headphone jack I'd just get the 11 Pro.

I use TikTok a lot. Censorship is a concern, I agree, but propaganda is unlikely just given how the "For You" algorithmic curation works.

I mean, when I did it it was considered a formality.

I don’t think anyone considers it a difficult barrier compared to getting into FNG etc.

I'm still not convinced of the efficacy of the federal government guaranteeing loans to expensive private institutions (especially for-profit schools that prey on returning veterans and the poor). Instead, I think that they should only guarantee loans for cheaper public schools or for a specific dollar amount.

I read these stories and feel like I was the only good kid that actually focused in class.

I talked to a Pebble firmware engineer at Bitcamp who told me about the hoops they had to go through. Really neat stuff.

I've been having this problem for a while. Reading Google Play descriptions are nearly impossible on default scaling.

Honestly, I think the old list is still pretty accurate. If anything we might have just additions to that list - in 2-3 years I'm confident wearable will be big, and I think BLE devices have become more popular in the HW Startup space too.
