Did they do something similar with the $1.5 hotdogs?

I mean, yea?

I think efficient markets and unregulated/totally-free markets are separate dimensions, no?

> Different projects depended on different versions of the same internal libraries, we had to...

This is one of the main motivations for using a monorepo with all third party dependencies imported all the way in, and only one version for everything.

Of course it causes a whole bunch of other problems and is kinda expensive to scale, so most places won't do it.

150 battleships?

Pretty sure the Spanish Armada was <150 total ships, of which only a small subset would be the big galleon things. (And then my knowledge hits a wall, idk what the difference between a galleon and ship-of-the-line/battleship is)

I'm not sure how much to trust the rest of that website.

> Senior Revenue Operations Manager - GTM Systems and Automation

Not an engineering position? What is your classifier based on? This doesn't seem super useful categorization

Unless the interviews are brought back onsite I guess

The vast majority of listings I scrolled through were jobs that wouldn't normally have a leetcode interview, given that, you know, they weren't jobs involving coding at all. Even when filtered to software development, the vast majority were not coding positions.

Any way to filter to that?

This looks like a self funded company. The founder is already a billionaire I guess.

(So transitively, funded by Plaid being a successful company in a similar space, and its founder then having capital to do other things)

I mean... yea we also have some shaky interpretations of the 1st amendment (see especially, assembly), 2nd, 5th (e.g. the incredible pressure for plea bargaining), 6th (which, paradoxically, is a major reason for aforementioned pressure on plea bargaining, so I kinda get it), 8th given how bad some prisons are, arguably 10th (even if I am personally not a fan of the 10th amendment so much), and arguably still the 15th (though it's obviously orders of magnitude better than the first 100 years of its existence).

And also various other parts of the construction, like the interstate commerce clause does some comically heavy lifting.

I know you were talking about a mountain or something, but "climb to <altitude>" does make one think about this exchange which would be in feet, not meters:

"climb to FL20 and the flying dinosaur thing will break" could work though

Since, annoyingly, international altitudes are done in increments of 1000 feet (ish, handwaving)

Not necessarily servers, just not into the register as a tracked transaction.

Tax fraud, essentially.

E.g. you go to the Minnesota State Fair, merchants may offer to not charge sales tax if you pay cash. It is shockingly brazen sometimes.

> How could a business possibly operate in this reality?

Extremely lax enforcement on the part of the specific US state's department of revenue

US Bank for a brief period opened up a 4% card, but then closed it so quick that obviously the numbers didn't work out there.

2% seems to be a local maximum of cashback cards. There's a lot of 2% cards, and only a handful above that.

Makes sense?
