I would feel uncomfortable enough about being shown proprietary code that I would end the interview right there. Not worth the legal risk.

If someone chooses to refuse a technical interview they did speak for themselves. Even more so if they, as OP did, explicitly said that it is "insulting" or otherwise beneath them.

Ok I agree with your point that "embellishment" may not be the correct term and I really meant the latter. I 100% expect that someone with an advanced computer science degree can demonstrate they have problem solving ability. I do

This is exactly what I'm referring to. I'm not testing for rote learning. I'm testing problem solving ability.

They actually do. The test isn't (or shouldn't be) that you understand string manipulation (or whatever) but rather that you can work through a new problem. There are many programmers who claim many years of experience but have po

I've recently had multiple candidates recently with inflated resumes. Not mere embellishments, but claiming advanced degrees in computer science when they can't solve a simple algorithmic problem (something that can be coded in &l

Sierra, Axiom, and Blue Origin are all working on commercial successors to the ISS. Axiom's first modules will launch 2024ish and initially be connected to the ISS.

If the earth warms enough we could enter a period of permanent world wide drought. When temperatures are too hot, clouds can no longer form. No clouds means no rain and even hotter temperatures. Some areas may become more livable, but we&#x

The US numbers still show that TB can be mitigated without intrusive widespread restrictions. The majority of deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and SE Asia. That leads me to believe that the differentiator is access to medical care, primar

The U.S. only has around 600 deaths from TB per year. Covid was 100x more deaths with lockdowns and other restrictions factored in. Not even remotely the same thing.

The same selection pressure exists for "natural" immunity.

There's so many more things that can go wrong trying to land from orbit that it's not worth the risk trying to land anywhere near people regardless of how much time you have to engineer it.

Only if it's already cooler outside than inside the house. On a day where it's only 90 out during the day, it's not dropping to 75 until 8-9pm at the earliest. Also can't use a fan on the west coast in the later parts of

What is the cost compared to mass migration of the entire world population to north of the 50th (or so) parallel? Would civilization even survive? If we don't make serious changes the planet will get so hot that the clouds will vanish

Compared to the expense of failed crops? Mass migration of all humans to the northern most reaches of Canada? I really don't think you get it. If temperatures rise enough, most of Central and North America won't be uninhabitable.

Trump launches latest grift, seeking donations for a meritless lawsuit using fraudulent language. A better title.

This might be true if American society as a whole embraced safety measures to keep the rest of society safe. That didn't happen. A significant portion of the country believe the pandemic was a hoax and took no precautions whatsoever.

There's a *minuscule* amount of grey area if the protest is specifically about gun rights, but otherwise you are absolutely correct. Using a gun to show how serious you are is just a different way of saying it's for intimidation.

They found covid in blood donated in December 2019. It's actually been a full year at this point.

I gave up trying to install python 3.6 natively on my mac after a few hours. If there is a way it can be "simply" be done, I did not find it.

Pyenv often is the easiest 3rd party source for additional pythons. Real scenario I'm in right now: - Need to build libraries to support 2.7, 3.6, plus future proofing for >=3.7 - CI workers have images which only python 2.7 and 3.6

How about being prepared so that you don't need to be bailed out by the federal government? How about spending that money to provide better service? It's not a revisionist history that virtually everyone complains about the declin

You'd also have to dodge every other vehicle in the fleet, which are all technically drones.

The scary thing is that we don't actually know how many infections there are. The test used in the U.S. reportedly isn't accurate.

2 weeks is a mild case. Severe cases last up to 6 weeks.
