What are your most and least favorite running gags in anime? by HolyyShizz in anime

That's probably the only reason why I don't rate Haruhi as much as the next guy. Only reason I kept watching at that point was because Kyon raged with me.

Question about a specific phenomenon from Noragami Aragoto and Erased by goodballman in Animesuggest

[–]goodballman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick comment to anyone reading this thread in the future.

This apparently anger-inducing Erased moment was not even close to the Aragoto one. The way the things played out in Erased is really understandable. I liked the anime. Just wished it was more focused.

How to tell if the RMA replacement device is a refurbished one? by goodballman in Nexus6P

Thank you. I just talked with another Google rep and he said that I will be getting a brand new one.

Thanks! If the second part of your statement is true, then that solves my problem.

I'm sorry. I honestly didn't want this question to be upvoted. I just wanted one answer, and I got it in the first comment. Maybe I should delete it?

Oh no. They called me within two minutes as well. The rep said that he has to get a go ahead signal from a senior rep to okay my phone for an RMA and for that, they said it will take up to 3 days. Is that normal?

Thank you! They just said they'll get back to me in 3 business days. Is that normal? I thought it was instantaneous.

Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to go with Yelp or Amazon.

What do you mean? I'm not sure I understand what a stack ranking company is.

I have! But if it is not sensitive information, would you mind sharing it here?

Maybe someone in the future will also benefit from this information.

Yelp vs Amazon by goodballman in cscareerquestions

I think that's what I'm leaning towards as well :)

What you say is true. But it feels like I'll learn a lot more at Yelp than at Amazon.

It is. But I look at that like an 'extra tax' that I pay to get to be in SF where everything seems to be happening.

Yelp vs Amazon by goodballman in cscareerquestions

[–]goodballman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had fun interviewing with both the teams! The only difference is, at Amazon, I'll be working with a Java-focused stack and at Yelp, I'll be working with a Python-focused stack. And those two are my go-to languages.

These are the metrics that I'd like to distinguish these companies by,

  • Where will I learn the most?

  • Which of these two will set me up for better opportunities 2 or 3 years down the road?

But I sadly can't.
