Okay, so not in the present tense, like the commenter indicated. And not like actually "legally".

Bitcoin’s energy consumption remains insignificant It's hard to call an amount (220 Twh) that exceeds that of all the world's data centers (209 Twh) or of multiple countries in Europe "insignificant". Especially when

I've definitely known people who seem to favor that approach (in both business and personal contexts). "Drama for its own sake", we might call it. Yes, it can seem to sort of work for a while. But over time, not so well. R

Sounds like Russian Roulette. If they were as smart as they think they are - you'd think they'd come up with a system that wasn't so luck-dependent.

Y-e-p. It's not like these retreats happen in a vacuum.

Direct experience, no. Just going by my own hunches here. And the observation that, across the board - a lot of people these days seem to not understand the concept that someone would willfully choose not to carry a smartphone. Ergo, if y

This strange mentality that -- "If it filters a lot of people out, it must be a good question." If they politely (or perhaps not-so-politely) decline your request - that doesn't mean (as you seem to presume) they have no imag

A very superficial analysis. Economists generally agree that recessions typical have multiple causal factors. It's one thing to ask "Were development constraints an additional factor in the 2008 recession?" But quite anothe

Money solves or allieviates many, many problems, actually. Stress, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition among them.

Nothing of the sort. But your responses do seem to be consistently evasive, for whatever reason. If you think the Baltics somehow "belong" to Russia, or that Russia would be justified in taking "action" to prevent Ukrai

We all know the history. It's the implication that these are somehow naturally "Russian" territories (and that the world just needs to step back and accept this fact) that I find kind of -- strange.

That's about the kind of (non-) answer I was expecting, actually.

There's one more thing I need to ask you: Now, since the end of the Cold War, Russia has lost quite a lot of territory. This territory has all been snapped up by NATO, even though the Cold War was apparently over. Which "Russian

You also said: Russia thinks the West is very aggressive and unstable, and seeks to put Ukraine in its "sphere of influence" before it's too late. To be honest, I don't think Russia is in the wrong here, there is no re

You should prepare to have your person and belongings invasively searched, at the very least. And to experience feigned incredulity and other display so of attitude, on top. That's why a burner phone is probably your best bet. Especi

It's just comparing to see how far you get, how you do vs that other guy. Which is a BS rationale, of course. If you (at lease claim to) respect the candidate's time, then you don't give out slippery-slope assignments with

FAANG, where I failed the phone screen largely due to the interviewer having a thick accent on top of him using a speakerphone that made things worse. That's why they only hire the top 0.2 percent - for their "communication skil

Java/DynamoDB that I've never done. Why? Thanks for the data points. Those lengthy tests focusing on stack components you've never claimed to know or use - yup, those are my favorites.

You should be able to do 50% of mediums < 30 mins before you start Great. So if they give you 2 or 3 mediums in the course of the interview process, with a strict 30 minute deadline -- what is your chance of failing?

But I'm just not really sure that the US has any business being in Russia's "near abroad" anymore. Does Russia have any business being in their "near abroad" any more? Given their "not kind" histo

How would Americans feel if we lost the cold war and Russia started trying to dominate Mexico and Canada? That's a lot of "what-if", and more than a lot of hyperbole there. In any case the U.S. isn't trying to dominat

Russia doesn't want to invade and take over Ukraine. They've sure been working hard lately (at considerable expense) to make it look otherwise.

I'm tired of putting my pronouns everywhere. Have you actually been required to use these? And if so, did you try asking to opt-out?
