>The candidate could try to bluff me about FizzBuzz, but that's not going to help them at the open question/toy problem. :P Then why ask it? This is the whole reason for my stance

It wasn't anxiety as much as knowing that if I faltered even a little that this particularly interviewer would say no. I had not written fizz buzz in a few years and decided that the fact I thought about it for a few seconds meant I ha

Why dont you test how I drink from a cup of water to ascertain that I am able to function as a normal human being? Where is the line drawn? If there is 20 years of programming experience it could be perceived as an insult in my opinion.

There is only one English "conversational" voice that I see ( which seems to be the best). Is there a way to make the others "conversational" if not, is Zoe the best example? Did you find any competing product that came

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I don't believe you countered my point. The information in your post was however super interesting and I appreciate that. Why would a virus evolve to be more lethal - if it wanted to increase tr

Hi bitwize, if one wanted to see a damning piece of evidence of these accusations, can you link to a page discussing said evidence? Or is this an opinion expressed by you knowing him personally?

I dont believe virus ever increase in lethality as pressures increase, I thought the opposite happens, they naturally becomes less lethal to be able to spread more effectively. Also when you said " stupid to do so" what are you re

GTA revenue: 140,000,000 million 70% loading time fix = 10,000 This gives me hope that any incumbent could be easily usurped by a software company that values good work

Sorry I caused offence I was trying to give feedback and sounded brash. On a slightly different topic (srsly) would there be a way of saying what I said without it sounding snarky? I was trying to be polite.

His question was rhetorical, he even then spent time answering your question. You should thank him and at a minimum learn to be polite if you're the type of person who misunderstands context.

I just don't understand why after a decade bitcoin, a simple concept, is still so divisive amongst - of all places - here in the tech community? I just don't get what the problem is.

Because even 10 years ago there were hand held jet drones that could do everything and more than any grainy UFO footage. All UFO footage is merely tech that the authorities at the time hadn't been able to label at the time.
