But we defer to experts all the time in life because it’s impossible to verify evidence yourself in all(or most, or even many) circumstances.

I’ve only heard of this mythical “risk free 20%” after the crash. I never heard anyone advertising that rate before.

Of course you can’t change your race, but we’re talking about some American analog of the caste system. Race just isn’t nearly as large a factor as money. Not even close

_sigh_ Yes. It can. You’re intentionally misrepresenting reality for what I suspect is some ideological fondness of Tesla. Sure, no _commercial_ plane can take off with autopilot, but such planes exist[1]. But, saying Cat IIIc is required f

Autopilot can land and take off, so it _is_ more than glorified cruise control.

Win32 _is_ hilariously complicated(albeit as powerful as anything else with perhaps more steps upfront). Consider creating a child process in GNU/Linux: fork(); Vs in win32’s asinine API: CreateProcess( NULL, // No module n

Exactly. If you have a candidate who can design good systems, solve complex algorithmic problems, and play nice with others, then I’d say that’s a pretty strong candidate.

I hate to be the guy to ask you to explain the joke, but why would that make the plane crash? I do know what a “pole” refers to, but I don’t follow the crash bit.

Yes, being able to understand and apply algorithms and data structures requires some intelligence. I know we try to stay away from the “we’re smarter than you” vibe here because it’s gross, but pretending leetcode style questions don’t requ
