And herein lies the problem. You say Given that you have just been awoken, what are the odds that you were awoken as a result of the coin landing heads? But the linked post says (ambiguously) When you are awakened, to what degree should

You don't get to be "right twice" The question is When you are awakened, to what degree should you believe that the outcome of the coin toss was Heads? It's not a guessing competition, it's asking you to assess th

But that's still not the question. The stated question is When you are awakened, to what degree should you believe that the outcome of the coin toss was Heads? Not, Should you _guess_ Heads or Tails? The probability of the coin tos

The phrasing of the question is When you are awakened, to what degree should you believe that the outcome of the coin toss was Heads? It's not actually asking for a strategy about guessing the correct answer, or how many times you&#x

I think the problem is in the phrasing of the question: When you are awakened, to what degree should you believe that the outcome of the coin toss was Heads? That's not a precise probability question. More significantly the question

As well as being inflammatory and belittling, his reasoning in this area also fails to question the status quo, and realise that maybe a form DevOps is a path to a better outcome. It is the case, that in many organisations, the roles down

What are the reasons startups can't hire good finance people? Or at least contract with an expert? In the early stage, when your total team is 2-5 people, there's rarely enough work to justify spending a full time, senior salary

Part of the problem is that most startups run with zero revenue for the first few months (or longer). Generally speaking, if you have no revenue then burn == expenses. So for the period during which most founders are starting to learn about

Except, if you want to ask a question about CS Data Types, you really do need to be clear in your terminology. I just turned to the two most relevant books that I had on my shelf. Neither Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming , nor

One of the most successful risk workshops I ever ran was for the implementation of very large application in a bank. I pulled in a sample of people from the development team and proposed the following scenario: It's the Monday morning

My solution, where possible is to run with one (or more) of the following responses: - I think there will be some challenges in that, can we take some time to think through the implications of ______ (or how we would deal with _____, etc) -

Once a business is incorporated, it is its own legal entity and needs to have its own pool of funds that is legally separate from the owners' funds. There would be one or more accounts held in the name of Super Secret Labs LLC and in

Others have mentioned the importance of joint savings accounts for married couples, and for businesses. They're also very important for mortgages. If the mortgaged asset is jointly owned (and that's typically the case in a marriag

While I agree that AMEX should have just locked the account for fraud, one possible explanation that would create this scenario is a relationship breakup. Man breaks up with his partner, and moves out of their shared home. He changes his ph

Yes, that would be Trello, Inc https://trello.com/about The fact that FC managed to come up with a successful (but not necessarily profitable) product idea and spin it off into its own company doesn't really say much

While I agree that they had totally unrealistic expectations (and you forgot to highlight the 5 service integrations bit that he also complained about later), slack does also advertise "no limit on users" when they do in fact ha

they seem to keep that pretty hidden. It's explicitly stated on their plans/pricing page, I don't think that really counts as "hidden" https://bitbucket.org/plans

I think Colin's argument is that an HR employee of FooBar, who isn't going to be directly involved in the role, offers no more value to the community than a "middle person" would and we don't want/need either

I agree, but for a slightly different reason. Only large(ish) companies have recruiters that are also employees. Most small startups have no one in that role, and medium sized startups would be more likely to have a freelance consultant tha

I'll happily keep it in my account at your bank! Excellent. The interest rate on that account is -3%, but please make sure you maintain a minimum balance of $100 trillion, or we will need to foreclose on your firstborn.

I think that varies quite a lot based on company profile and role-type. We phone screen anyone who has a resume that's vaguely relevant. If you're applying for a software engineering role and have never done any development, then

I'm curious how often you had people voluntarily drop out of the process without completing the work sample, and whether that frequency would change if you didn't have a phone screen. (I take it from your questions that you never

I'm not sure I quite follow the point you're making. Perhaps I've misunderstood what you're saying, but bcrypt only uses a CSPRNG for generating the salt. If you generate the salt on the server and pass it to the client,
