No kidding, it seems more like a plug for the podcast than the app.

The interview is a two-way interview. You can also identify crappy companies you don't want to work for by crappy interview processes.

Yeah, close to the November election, it felt like Google stopped filtering election spam email suddenly.

I was a summer intern at a big defense company for one of my first summer jobs. They gave me some fairly simple work but not enough to fill my day. I ended up reading a lot of books for a large chunk of my day. =/

Hmmm from testing it on the replit site someone posted, you can actually move through the first point of contact. I set up a case where my queen was protected by a pawn and used a bishop to take both pieces.

One of the most interesting (but inconclusive) points they found was how Hans' evaluated strength dropped after they introduced the 15 minute broadcast delay.

Where is your personal gmail available on the internet? Maybe it's on your resume and the person checked out your resume before responding to you?

I don't hate technology. I'm hesitant to adopt a lot of cutting edge technology because I don't like how intrusive it is, though.

It's really tough.

"I'm told that I'm going to have no time any more and good sleep is a thing of the past."

This is accurate, but you won't really get it until you're in the midst of it and you realize there is no way out. Your life will be very different from now on.

The most important advice I have for you right now is make sure you and your partner know you are a team. You will both be going through a difficult transition. Forgive them for everything you can and hopefully they can forgive you for everything they can.

That's true, but you could also just work the 500k job for 5 years and then possibly (semi) retire. 2.5 million before taxes is a pretty nice chunk to have before your late 20s. It's just delayed gratification.

Exactly. I would imagine any sort of substantial impact (common in shipping) would shift around some of the pieces.

wow 57% and 37% are awful. it's almost as if the system shouldn't be automated.

Yeah, that's rough, but you really should know what a binary tree is if you want to be a software engineer. It's probably a good idea to study data structures and algorithms a bit more.

Yep, I'm with you. I'm generally pretty loose on letting people enjoy their vices, but I think it's also reasonable for society to protect people who might be preyed upon by others through their vices.

For example, heroin is notoriously destructive and addictive. I'm cool with outlawing it. But something like marijuana is not nearly as destructive and addictive, so I'd rather legalize it.

Gambling can be addictive, but people enjoy it, so it should be legal. However, I think it's appropriate to ban certain predatory gambling practices.
