How exactly did a Stanford professor end up homeless? And why in the world would they be taking classes afterwards?

Well this is why a free market is great, if you think all these companies are doing things wrong, start your own and outcompete them.

How exactly can you get insurance for a concussion as a software developer? How would you even prove that you can't do the job anymore?

That is nice, however when hiring people it is useful to get somebody who can actually implement the solution too, rather than just sitting back smugly having identified a problem as "Dijkstra's".

The US has tons of government interference in all of those areas though!

Which is exactly what the comment you are replying to said.

Just wanted to say you are awesome, actually having the energy to argue with all the people who neither understand how markets work, nor how HFT works.

Why do you need more than 640K of ram?

by poikniok 9y ago
If HFT is so awesome why don't you try doing it yourself?

In this fantasy world can I spend my whole life partying in university, or is there some time limit?

The logic on this statement doesn't really check out, as if this were the case it would be impossible to retain CEOs, they would all leave after a month. Yet somehow companies do so ...

That would be great if employers actually let you take a break. Instead what will happen is exactly what you would probably try, which is to get the person to do some other kind of work. I am happy for you that working on developer tooling

Right, as a boss I would love for my employees to work themselves to death to please me. God forbid they take a break once every couple of months. Because please be real, your suggestion is absurd. Somebody is burned out so they should work

"scrum" I found your issue. I don't think 10x developers work in places that do "scrum", as if they are some low skill assembly line worker. You think Jeff Dean does "scrum"?

Civilizations spent centuries coming up with what we now know as basic arithmetic. The point is now that people have done it, it is easy.

Close, I think the company is Facebook.

You can prevent employees from constantly leaving by simply paying them enough, see what any sector without equity comp does.

A Monotone Priority Queue is neither sufficient nor needed to solve this problem (as it does not give a linear time solution). Instead the proper solution just needs a deque, see http://techieme.in/maximum-element-sliding-wi

Are you sure about this? I believe for liability reasons no feedback should ever be given, aside from the generic "you were very good / very close" just to make people feel better about themselves.

Maybe I am missing something, but why would you tip your dentist or lawyer?

You could not have given a better explanation of why I would never want to live in a marxist society if you tried.

I would presume more than a developer salary.

No I think they should be paying 0% tax. Double taxation is fundamentally unfair.

Yes, no medication whatsoever seems like a much better option compared to randomly taking things and hoping for the best.

Just out of curiosity to see how I do, how would you rate using stock Intellij IDEA and a Macbook? Additionally am interested because some top algorithm competitors (of which I am not one) have this very setup.
56.
by poikniok 10y ago
You get that the only reason they do that is because of taxes ..., right?

by poikniok 10y ago
Ok you must love competitive programmers then, because they are very driven to solve problems :)
58.
by poikniok 10y ago
Competitive people are often very good at working in teams, see any team sport, or team programming contests.

If the user's summary is accurate / I found the correct individual on Linkedin the company is [redacted]. I agree with your assessment that this sounds like a unethical company, not to mention the amount of glee expressed in the p

How exactly would that work? He would just say in a year or two that he decided out of the blue to sell the remainder, and how are you going to prove otherwise?
