Well, how would you solve the task assigned to you: "remove all the apps in the App Store that contain this flag"

Do you look at every single result and scrutinize it? Oh and this needs to be done now, as in yesterday.

It's definitely plausible that they did not review each and every decision.

Maybe too their policy is against historical images as well. No exceptions. We don't know.

People love to hate on the App Store. This displaced game found a home on steam and they even boosted it up. Was this for the right reasons because it's truly a great game or was this a marketing stunt to show off their lack of censorship?

It's slightly distasteful regarding this polarizing topic. I applaud their bravery if it is anti censorship, but I sincerely doubt the cause is that noble.

Apple probably made a mistake and needs to adjust their policy. Steam deliberately did this because of that mistake. Apple didn't intentionally ban a civil war game for PR, they enacted an oversleeping policy that resulted in controversy for this game.

It seems like steam deliberately did this to thumb their nose at the situation.

Is it a good game? That's all that matters. Maybe it's great, I personally don't know. I'll give the benefit of the doubt here that the featured algorithm uses controversy as a metric.

This is the point you were trying to make and I completely agree with you.

That's the point right?

The problem is very clear when you read it carefully. Which is also one of the skills its trying to tease out. It is rated as a 5 out of 5 being the most difficult.

There is a lot of truth in here. While the startup boom is creating a lot of great products, the founders are often lost when they have to grow fast.

I have to second this. Sumologic is very powerful and saves hours of time troubleshooting.

So after a less than 5 year old grows up, why would they switch to a more antiquated form of search? They now have a level of expectation that voice search works and when it doesn't the software sucks.

Furthermore, simply the act of publishing this paper likely caused our time line to shift to a point where future travelers are privvy to automated methods to detect their presence in the past.

OpenID was the solution to this. It just never caught on. When Facebook released connect it was game over.

But would google have ended up as google if they were bought at that price?

Depends. I juice up 1.5lb spinach, chard, kale, 1 carrot, and a lemon. I rarely add high glucose/fructose fruits. Carrot juice is pretty sweet. I like green veggie juices over fruit juices.

A real good juicer goes a long way. It changed my perspective the first time I tasted a fresh cup of what I describe above. Invigorating and healthy.

I would actually LOVE to see that challenged. It would be interesting reading and provide some baseline for how good this stuff is supposed to be.
