The MIT campus always reminded me of The National Mall - an open grandeur, an unbreachable edifice in the name of ideas. It’s sad that both of those proud facades have been eroded recently, and both have had barriers added (temporary and permanent) in response.
In many ways those barriers feel like a formalization of division and will more deeply entrench the forces that prompted them in the first place. I understand the motivation, but I think true strength here is keeping things open in the face of serious issues, not trying to make sure they never happen again (at great cost).
My understanding is that Omega is very confident in its brand’s strength and staying power. I believe they put out a substantially larger number of watches than, for example, Rolex, and as a result Omega resale value hasn’t grown like crazy like Rolex watches have. But still, they sell a ton of watches and the brand remains popular.

Nope. Rolex produces significantly more watches than Omega. Rolex is in a class of its own year -- no other manufacturer commanding such a high price is making remotely as many watches.
I've tried Triplebyte and TopTal in the past, and never made it past their technical skill tests, despite having 10 years of experience.
With both, all their questions where either algorithms, or multiple choice questions about some quirky things in the language. Either stuff you wouldn't need, or things you would test / look up. I'll never understand how this is an acceptable way to screen engineers.
