Should have been more precise. When I say “easy algorithm” I mean fizzbuzz or reverse the words on a page or something equally basic.

there's a long road from "I'll buy from you but don't forget that I retire in 5 years' time, I hope there's a cushy job waiting for me" to "I'll buy from you, here's my bank account, make me

As a test of bare minimum coding skills, definitely. You wouldn't believe the number of people who apply for junior software engineering positions yet can't do an easy leetcode problem. That's like a medical intern not knowin

> terrible interview technique in the first place. I'm really not a big fan of whiteboard tests, but I have yet to find an initial filtering method that is as quick and cheap as 30mn with coderpad or whatever.

They feel lazy because everyone else has been copying them for the past 40 years. Another commenter was talking about “dad” jokes - where do you think “dad” learnt that type of humour?

That doesn’t seem huge? 50M for 130 is a bit less than 400k revenue per employee. Of that revenue you’re already spending at least 100-200k on the employee themselves

And no liquids, and repeat this hassle at 50% of the airports you stopover (depending on how lazy they were when designing the “safe” zones and terminals)

Not since 9/11 , the security theatre is still very painful, even in first. I'm sure it's much more comfortable if you're flying general aviation, but that's still way more expensive than commercial ever was, even i

What interest does it serve to make their life hard? She just wants to pay taxes where she works and lives. And what’s wrong with being a “rootless cosmopolitan”? I don’t think anyone would mind losing their US citizenship as soon as they l

Well the objective is to get as many people to vote as possible, so it does make sense to make that as easy as possible.

Most countries have IDs though… you can’t do anything in most European countries without your ID. If we had to have a specific document to vote that we never need for anything else, we would be having the same arguments as you guys
917.
by namdnay 5y ago
I guess the argument would be that changing the number in the URL is lying, as you are providing an ID that was not assigned to you (Playing devil’s advocate here)

And the following year FIFA will give the licence to another developer, any everyone will switch to that. PES was a far better game than FIFA, but everyone wanted to play with their favourite players and teams. There's no way EA will k

was it one of those wierd things where a single article page actually lets you choose between multiple "versions", some of which can be radically different? i hate those, they should have limited them to colours and sizes

And that’s why there are no cheap Chinese cars or trucks or tractors or guns or engines or any of that stuff ..

Not only can you get a very cheap new one, but your village mechanic will know how to repair it because they’ll already have worked on dozens. I know this project is really cool as an engineer, but engines and vehicles in all forms are pret

Buy it cheap from China doesn’t mean it can’t be repaired. Chinese clone AK47s or outboard motors or trucks or tractors can go for decades with a skilled and pragmatic mechanic, one thing that third world countries excel at

Do you think cheap tractor makers in china or India give a fig about IP?

I doubt that IP of tractor designs is a major factor in third world poverty. I’m sure there are factories in Asia pumping out cheap tractors already
