You're effectively saying that once someone decides to grow potatoes, apples are no longer scarce, because people might instead grow potatoes and trade them for apples. The secure, easy to use, non-wasteful, distributed calorie problem

In retrospect, having an office was one of the few redeeming perks of academia. They were so far behind the times, they may have been ahead of their time.

This hasn't really been true in my experience. It's one component, definitely, but in general people are also looking to get a sense of how you handle yourself and communicate when you're stuck on something. Most people will

This is so on the money. Leetcode/hackerrank are one form of practice, but they're not comprehensive. They're like a practice putting green or a driving range. Very useful practice, but they teach you how to swing the club no

Your interview process is not far from the ones I've been involved in and I think you make a number of compelling points. The onus remains on the hiring folks to actually put in the work required to follow a sane process. I don't

You ignored the part where the electron decays back to the lower energy state. The ending states are the exact same as the initial states, since the electron decays back to the lower (initial) state by emitting a photon. The photon carries

No this is a chemical reaction, not a nuclear reaction.

Doesn't seem unreasonable. The new owner hired back ~90 of the ~120 employees? I suspect they know how the sausage (ice cream) is made so even if they lost the "creative genius" of the owners they can still churn out product

It's not clear how the gap between solar-mass scale black holes and supermassive black holes was traversed; was it a build up from small black holes, or did they start out as seeds of a few million solar masses in the early universe? W

The ugly truth is that a large fraction of the population just doesn't care about at-risk people (that is to say, they may care to some degree, but not nearly to the same degree as proponents of quarantine). It's pretty gross. Thi

Toyota replaced the entire frames on a bunch of Tacomas maybe ~10 years ago. So yeah, but obviously not a fun thing to do.

I know this is a rhetorical question but the affirmative answer isn't entirely unreasonable. If an engineer can deliver the same value from remote then maybe yes, they should bear the cost burden of living in NY or SF.
