The power in question is the president's power over the executive branch of government, e.g. the department of Justice. If the president orders it, the department of Justice could choose to feign ignorance and simply not fine any offen

Sorry, Dang, that you have to deal with this. I definitely don't envy you. If this were written by anyone else I'm not sure it would make it to the front page. That being said, if we're here, we're here. Paul Graham is d

This requires conscious choice and some discipline though. For the average person, content competes for attention on their behalf before their conscious brain kicks in. Social media uses cheap tricks like rage bait that your local book club

The one who did the interview and the ones who do the coding may not overlap, and as OP mentioned, they don't need to be particularly good. Even if they get fired after a few months, it's still a net win.
