Having lots of rounds of interviews, as long as each one is effective and focused on a different aspect, in my experience is a green flag because it means they take great care in hiring and you end up working with excellent people. My current job had a talent team screening call, a high level technical best practices discussion, a practical homework assignment with follow-up peer interview and problem solving session, a cross-guild culture interview, and a chat with one of the founders. Apart from the first and last ones they each took more than an hour but they all felt very productive in terms of gathering information in both directions. And it’s by far the best job I’ve ever had

Also the large salary range makes sense if they are hiring e.g. multiple developers and are open to a large range of seniorities/experience levels

Paywall

I don’t think all of these are true/accurate.

Remember: don’t believe everything you read on the internet

Great, now do Amazon

And yet still no back button, the most basic feature that iPhones sorely lack :(

Better? The Apple hardware is always significantly worse than competition in the same price class. Most of the price of an iPhone goes to their excessive marketing and record profits, so they have to cut costs on hardware

So what you’re saying is, if you want advanced phone features sooner buy an Android, if you want to be subjected to dodgy business practices sooner buy an Apple

The order of superiority goes like this:

American bagels > German rolls > German bagels > American rolls

As an Australian living in Germany for over a decade I’m still not that impressed with German bakeries. The pretzels are awesome and the bread is fine but the sandwiches are lame. They’re like mostly bread and never more than 1 or 2 toppings. A German once told me it’s because the point of the sandwich is the bread and if there are too many toppings you won’t taste the bread 😅

Germans love their bread so much but I think it’s just because that’s what they grew up with, I don’t think it’s objectively as good as they think it is

What are the performance targets? And does the value of the package depend on share price?

What kind of parent has already shown their kid Lion King at age 2 wtf

What country are you in? If it’s the USA, then yeah my understanding is that regulations are a lot worse/weaker there. The stuff you described wouldn’t fly if it was a UK or EU bank I believe. SVB failing wouldn’t have happened here either (nor would it have in the USA before Trump)

Yeah PayPal are terrible lol, I’ve got some horror stories of my own

Then why not use the same app?

The same thing can be said of OSM. The way you pay is with your time

If you deposit money at a bank, it is covered by federal deposit protection insurance (up to some limit that varies by country but generally in the range of $100k-$250k), so you are guaranteed to be able to get it back no matter what. Even if the bank fails. Banks are subject to extremely strict regulation to protect consumers and make sure you have access to your funds

PayPal is not a bank, it’s an EMI (e-money institution), but those are heavily regulated to protect consumers. Your funds are not covered by deposit protection insurance, but as an EMI they have to keep your money in a safeguarding account at a real bank and they can’t use it themselves, so in case PayPal fails you will still get your money back. Revolut in the UK is another example of a non-bank EMI

Yeah or alternatively just use the free service that already has all the data

Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!

The fact that this kind of advice is even necessary (in the USA) is insane

So wait the argument is that yes, by human definition, God is evil, but that he thinks all the atrocities in the world are totally awesome? That doesn’t make him less evil

Tbh you can actually quite easily buy a computer with Linux pre installed (ironically they cost more than the ones that come with windows though). I wouldn’t recommend it though, regardless of tech literacy. The problem is that Linux is like 70% easy and great, 20% frustratingly glitchy and unfinished, and 10% getting stuck on completely impossible problems that you will lose weeks of your life to before eventually concluding that no solution actually exists. Nothing ever quite just works, there’s always some caveat or minor issue and you end up chasing rabbit holes instead of actually using your computer to do what you wanted to do
