One use-case I can imagine is to ward off tech-savvy paparazzi.

Data loss hasn't happened yet but this makes me concerned! Thanks for the tip! I'll look into alternatives myself now... :-)

There's a million reasons why you could and will get rejected that have nothing to do with the code you've written for the take home exercise. My usual solution is to ignore the losses and carry on with the grind. You only need to win once. Good luck!

Fun fact: If you try to submit the form with ad-blockers enabled, it errors out saying "Blocked request. Please disable any add blockers" (typo included) :-)

I considered doing something like this in the past with crypto and arrived to the conclusion that to do it right I would need critical mass and my very own exchange. Before critical mass, the fees would still have to be higher if you want to make the system self-sustainable. If you don't mind investing your own money upfront then you could start with the low fees hoping that critical mass will be reached before you run out of the money subsidizing the operation.

Definitely sounds like something that VC money could be used for given how ride-share companies low prices are just subsidies from VC money with the hopes that they'll reach profitability in the future with a dominant market share.

I'd wager that you are riding on top of other people's prime subscription in close proximity to you. Amazon dispatches your stuff on the same truck as their because it's more economical than having to come back twice. This would only work in an urban setting where orders are scarce. In a densely populated area it's unlikely to happen.

If you are a sensitive person who cannot tolerate being shouted at then I'd say it's not a big issue if you go through the visa process again. If you are truly miserable in your current situation like you said, then it's not good for your mental health to stay there longer than absolutely necessary.

Start looking for a new job.

Existing laws are probably in place to prevent them from "getting even" and since young people have lower turnouts at elections, politicians do the math on who to support so regulation isn't likely to change either.

Another example would be social security next to health insurance, IIRC that has the same scam baked into it.

Always opt out of the non-mandatory spying via the usual "no thanks" checkboxes, but much more importantly: I just assume that everything I do on that phone is logged and correlated to my real identity... even if not by Google themselves then the government agencies they are being forced by to hand over data. If an app asks for more permission than it should need to operate, I won't install it. By default I decline every permission request until something breaks in the app and I realize the permission request was legit. Only the most obvious ones I allow without letting it break first, like the camera app needing access to the camera, pictures...

Definitely not. I had Netflix for a while and it's a huge time waster. Be productive instead of do something outside. Read a book if the weather is bad, etc.

I had no choice if I wanted to break out of poverty.

Exactly what I expected, glad I checked the comments before reading the article.
