I disagree. It seems he might have died fighting for a cause. We might do well to serve his memory by thinking about and understanding his cause. To do otherwise would be to admit that we can change nothing.

Okay so now we get down to the root of your problem. You are underpaid. The 200k+ salaries are out there, it is up to you if you want to go get them.

Offshore banking with 100k?!? You are off by several orders of magnitude there.

He is talking about a phd, a masters is an absolutely terrible investment, and strong negative hiring signal whenever I see it, unless it was done strictly to immigrate to the US.

Why would any country agree to this if others do not? And it is a big advantage to be able to outwork your competitors so there will always be holdouts.

Wow, for your own good don't listen to this guy. Just put it in equities.

Not to mention that in the industry I am in people will tell you the exact opposite about people. It makes sense, you want your worst people to work for competitors, and your best people to not.

I am confused by your point. Would you rather sick people come into work and get even more people sick?

Yeah this one is simple, trees don't have loops.

Scary to see how this is just a small step away from prohibiting any criticism of the police. I feel sorry for Canadians now, and hope that one day they can recover their freedoms.

Any society that is not fascist?

Yep this seems pretty standard in general. Specifically companies will state a expected salary, and then when giving a lower offer explain it as a lack of experience or qualifications. I had one company lowball me, and try to make up for it

But would they?

8pm would be a late night for me, I try to leave at 6pm but sometimes a bit later.

Wow that is somewhat surprising. I work at hedge fund, what one might consider a fairly stogy industry, and nobody cares when I come in to work, which is 9 or 10 usually.

This to me is a silly idea, as I am confident that if you let me follow any person, or work in any company for a day, I could find laws that they are breaking. Everybody breaks laws, and nobody wants to have the passenger in their car repor

Wow this makes me glad to not be in Ireland. At best about ~50k a year in USD offered and you are surprised that people are not clamoring for this incredible opportunity! New graduates in the states earn about 3 times that. Anyway hope you

Retroactive taxes are not legal.

Why the irrational fear of taking government assistance?

That is one of the reasons Elon Musk is such a great businessman :)

Presumably you also have other tests that you run the code on too, that are not sent to the candidates right? That would save some time, say if the code passes all 10 tests sent to the person, and fails all 20 tests that you keep for yourse

How is making a returning a new dynamic array worse than doing a O(n^2) implementation? The former would be perfectly fine in production, the slight increase in memory use is negligible, the n^2 solution would lead to me wanting to fire sai

Uh assuming you are serious the parent poster obviously understands this. The point is that it is absurd to have an index where if the total market cap of the tracked companies goes down, the index can go up. This has nothing to do with the

This is so typical in the Haskell world, comment with a short snippet of code that does not produce the intended result, and when this is pointed out dismiss it as a trivial implementation problem.

Out of curiosity, what exactly are the other fields that top people would enter? Are you thinking of finance, law, or medicine, or something else?

As somebody who works in HFT I want to personally thank you, and people like you, for what you do. Making money would be so much harder without you.

It is more based on thousands of years of data. Every generation likes to think that they are unique, and that "this time everything is different". In reality life will go on.

Because by his math a loaf of bread costs $0.06. Do you know where I can buy a loaf for that price?
