Datadog is an industry leader in Infrastructure Monitoring and we are rapidly expanding. We are a public company with a wide array of product portfolio and we are always looking for talented experienced engineers to work on hard technical problems.
I work at Datadog and we've been pretty successful at attracting customers over from Splunk depending upon the use case. Others in industry are SumoLogic, ELK etc. You can check us out here if you want https://www.datadoghq.com/
The claim "While countries such as the US contribute almost nothing to plastic waste in the oceans" is laughable. Where do you think all that single use plastic from US goes? It's an externality that US doesn't pay for but likes to talk about a lot. https://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/pft/2019/3/6/15700....
I find it surprising that you would think that plastic trash goes into the ocean. In fact, it goes to the landfills. The trash in the ocean comes from poor waste management in Asia and Africa (none of the top 20 most plastic-polluting rivers are in the US), and a small portion (20%) comes from natural disasters such as the Sendai tsunami.
USA's trash goes to landfills, from where only a tiny part of it can accidentally get into the water. Other places just dump trash into the water.
1. The website JS is served from a domain say "website.co" to the browser when you visit it.
2. If this JS tries to make a XHR to a domain that is NOT "website.co"(not the origin of JS) the browser first sends a preflight request (OPTIONS) asking for "guidance" from this second domain.
3. The Web Server on second domain responds with "a request" to block/allow XHR calls from JS served from certain domains.
4. The browser chooses (by default) to not make the GET/POST call if the JS domain(website.co/*) is not in "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header.
There are other nuances but that is it really. Things to note
1. The browser enforces CORS. Not the web server. You can disable this enforcement with a flag in both Chrome and FireFox.
2. Since only browsers enforce CORS, other tools(cURL, PostMan) will successfully make GET POST request regardless CORS config on the webserver.
3. If you could intercept (using a proxy) and change headers in response to preflight request you can bypass CORS on browsers.

I have actually developed for this platform. KaiOS powers Jio Phone and Reliance JIO is by far their largest customer (and also an investor from what I know).
The thing I like about this platform is that it runs most web technologies. You can thank Firefox OS for that. We used React ecosystem to develop apps for KaiOS and they worked well enough. Jio Phone ships with Video and Audio streaming apps which are all built on either React or Angular and use HTML5. I think all of that was possible on Firefox OS as well and they haven't really changed anything substantially. We were given links to archived FirefoxOS documentation pages when we asked for documentation.
They have managed to package FirefoxOS for enterprise customers. From what I know the KaiOS team comprises of people who worked on parts of Firefox OS (but not the core FirefoxOS team).
This makes me wonder why FirefoxOS shut down and why did it not try to market itself like KaiOS has managed to do.
> why did it not try to market itself like KaiOS has managed to do.
Speculating, but it's easy to see how Mozilla going after enterprise customers would have attracted a lot of bad press. FFOS was already carrying enough bad mojo, attaching "enterprise" to it would have been even worse.
For good or ill, Mozilla is supposed to be different from other corporations, at least in theory.
I think there actually was and is a lot of outside interest in a open and web stack oriented phoneOS.
The firefox OS website tried to divide visitors into hardware vendors, consumers and app writers. Imagine the success of Linus's first announcement if he told people which lines they could stand in to appreciate Linux when he was done writing it..
Digging deeper than you appeared to be welcome would get you into setup tasks with AOSP.. There is no better way to lose help then to ask them to learn about a more complete competitor.
"KaiOS is a curated platform for apps and we are working closely with app developers to provide the best experience for our users. At the moment we are not accepting submissions into the Store, but will do so in the future."
While I have been working in tech industry as backend engineer for 3 years (startups including) I don't have an undergrad degree in CS/Software (I have an M.Sc in Physics). Would that disqualify a candidate like me from being admitted?
What advantage would this course give over an M.B.A?
What kind of recognition do you think this degree would get in the industry being that it is a new program?
Not having an undergrad degree in CS would not disqualify you. We are looking primarily for people with strong tech skills, for several reasons.
When we talked to companies and alums of our other programs who are now product managers, they mentioned that the vast majority of product managers came from engineering backgrounds. This is necessary for leading teams of engineers, to understand how products work, what the tradeoffs are, and where trends are going. It's also very useful for additional credibility with respect to the engineers.
Our Master's of Product Management (MSPM) also requires students to take a technical elective in computer science, e.g. cloud computing, parallel computing, machine learning, networking, etc. We want our students to have technical depth too, since that will help with the above as well as making students better at charting out potential business opportunities.
The main advantages of this program over an MBA are that it is 1 year (instead of 2), it offers more technical depth in CS than MBA programs, and it also brings in a strong component of user experience design. This latter part of UX is something that many of our alums commented on as being important for products and for product managers. Other advantages (though it depends on which MBA track one chooses) are courses in managing people (incentives, motivations, negotiation), high tech marketing, basics of data science, and a capstone course focused on putting those skills together.
With respect to recognition, it's a tough question to answer since it is a new program. One main advantage here is the reputation of CMU's School of Computer Science and the Tepper School of Business. We also have strong industry ties and an active Career Opportunities Center to help students find good jobs.
