If you don't why you didn't get an offer, then you aren't worth the time to explain it. 95% of the time, you didn't give as strong answers as other candidates. The other 5% of the time, you came across as a jerk.

Yes, it was discovered that when you had to order movies in the mail, you had different preferences. If you could only watch one movie at a time, sure you want to make it good. But when it's streaming, people mostly just want to binge

You aren't following AI research, clearly. The top Go player in the world retired saying that he thought he was almost perfect, but then a "superior being" showed him he wasn't even close. I doubt there is a human on the

Basically my interpretation. The key piece missing in chess was how to know what positions were worth searching with a computer. A human had that intuition, and so a 'centaur' could be better. But that hiccup was solved by Alpha

You have to take a step father to argue that this framework is better than just using boilerplate. If you need magic variables, you haven't actually fixed the boilerplate problem.

I agree. Simply setting a magic global variable WIDTH and HEIGHT doesn't provide any insight, and confuses things more. There is no logical reasoning why those two variables are globals, and what other globals might have special behavi

Oh please. Your slippery slope argument is garbage. The truth is, only ~33% of 4 year-olds even attend preschool in the US [1]. So by the facts of reality, preschool is completely optional. Plenty of people go on to get college degrees with

I don't get your point. So you think the ability to teach a child what color is "red" and what color is "blue", gives you the background to make blanket statements about science education and jobs?

Consider the references to ghosts later in the article, you shouldn't be surprised that they play up the "spooky" aspect. No one benefits from telling the simple truth that it's just a fairly large community center.

This is a fallacy. "It's cold where I am" is not disproof of climate change. You can have locally-cold temperatures while global-average temperatures continue to rise. In fact, "extreme weather patterns" are predict
