It has tried and failed, get better bombs on your planes that explode when they hit kindergartens.

But bonus point for assuming everyone is Anglo white on here.

Your ideology and bias is showing. You're fighting a straw man that has nothing to do with what I said.

I find it odd how Americans try to convince themselves there are a lot of ways to be high class. A doctor might have slightly better standing than a plumber but ask yourself this, who would be served first in a restaurant, the doctor, the plumber, or the millionaire who just drove in on a Ferrari with a model on each arm?

Given that the Waltons family is worth more than the bottom billion people on the planet and their main achievement was being born from the right vagina, yes exploitation exists.

Now the question for that billion is, are the Waltons worth eating? Which I suppose depends on how badly the crops have failed that year.

Better than work pieces. Sorry boss someone out a 3/8th piece in the 5/8th holder. That $10e6 titanium piece is now scrap. We'll do better next time.

How is that different to gcode?

Op missed the part where they need to batch run their solution 200 times over and pick the quickest root. Like always ignorance begets confidence. That's not even talking about part 2 which you need to completely refactor the solution from the previous problem.

You sound like the type of engineer I get hired to replace at three times the rate when the project is on fire because they didn't understand the spec.

> Where exactly is the complexity?

In understanding the question.

At any rate, you still haven't replied to my job offer. I need you to do two weeks of free work for me.

There aren't any I could find, I had to do everything from first principles and the notebooks were left with my employer.

>For context, for my first job as a developer the take home assignment I got was creating a web app that logged realtime CPU usage and created a graph of that CPU usage that was updated in real time.

That's at worst a 4 hour job to do with a beer over the weekend. You sound incredibly incompetent if you can't tell the difference in difficulty between that and that they asked OP to do.

That assignment is 1/128th the work of point 1) from OP.

I met a welder who had hourly prices above work samples.

The $300h one looked like a piece of art. The $20h looked like sea gull crap landing randomly around the piece.
