Without getting into a language debate per se - what does Uber have against Python? (If indeed, as it sounds, there's an across-the-board ban against it).

I happen to think that immigration and customs enforcement is a net positive. You might want to take stock of recent news coverage of what the ICE has been up to recently. And not just recently - over several decades actually. It's

Somewhere between 100% and the woefully inadequate levels we have now -- I'm sure there's a happy medium.

There's no reason to believe that raising taxes on the wealthy is just a free wellspring of enough money to fund huge, nation-wide social programs. Actually there's a lot of historical evidence to the effect that, when taxes are

So who's in favor of having these "air taxis" add to the noise envelope in residential and recreational areas -- as they no doubt will, and (for the scale these companies are obviously intending) quite considerably? Let alone

I will end with a story from a book I read a few years ago. Talk is cheap. Rather than end on a touch-and-feely note, I'd much prefer that he get back to the core question: Instead of merely stating that he is a "fan" of th

Former employees that sit in dark rooms and write negative reviews in between shifts at the local convenience store. Wow - that sounds amazingly petty and vindictive. These people must have been a pure mindfuck to work for. Thank you for

You're right, it does. What happened was I skimmed the article looking for support of what you said, and didn't find it initially. But then again, my eyes tend to blur when reading BI articles.

Oh sure -- once we realize that these are (at beast) minimally overlapping goals -- it all become infinitely easier to swallow and manage.

It is critical, in my opinion, to either whiteboard problems with someone or mock a phone interview with someone. Not critical as in “very important”, but critical as in you should consider it an absolute requirement when studying. Which

That would help, to a degree. But ultimately any kind of DNA analysis (that exposes the raw data) is intrinsically de-anonymizable, no?

Well, that was college. If you want a job with Google (or the companies that try to mindlessly mimic their hiring process) -- your best bet is to memorize.

I wouldn't mind paying a fair sum for a service that would: (1) reasonably guarantee that my data not only won't be distributed - but will be destroyed (on their side) within a short time frame (2) give me access to all of the raw

I was asked to write a function findSum(array1, array2, sum) that returns true if two numbers from two sorted arrays add up to a given sum. I was able to solve it with my eyes closed using a double for loop — O(n²) time complexity. For the
