>You'd have to literally be picking up and flying in planes full of active cases to even match what we have here already
Even one person with corona can do a lot of damage.
For example, a singular person boarded Diamond Princess. The ship had 696 confirmed positive cases and 7 deaths from 1 person who had the virus.
There are plenty of self-studied developers who have full-time jobs on HN. I've met a vast number of devs in real life who didn't go to college. It's not incredibly rare. It costs almost nothing but time to self-study and build a portfolio.
The other option would be go thru university. And there are many universities that offer a BS in CS for a reasonable price such as University of Florida. You can apply for a FAFSA, and depending on your financial needs, you could get it all paid for in grants. It will likely take 3 years but you get a legit degree by an accredited University, not some University of Phoenix equivalent scam. Some of these online BSCS students even get accepted to reputable PhD programs, good luck doing that from Lambda School because it's not happening.
Either way, you are not becoming a true machine learning researcher via self-study nor a bootcamp. You will need at least a master's in CS/Math/Stats to land those roles. A bootcamp is neither the lowest cost to a softwaredev career nor is it the a career effective maximizing choice.
if you decide you want an accredited university degree, then you can get FAFSA to fund community college, then transfer an online university such as Florida
Real life and ideals are different thing. You can't promise that accidents will never happen. But you can promise that accidents will be substantially reduced.
In the US, about 35k people die per year from motor vehicle related deaths. If you get it down to 10k, then that would be a major success. Of course, you will still be fine tuning until you could get below 1000 and as close to 0 as possible.
If you have 50 candidates do a takehome assignment, then you will need an engineer to do code review and write comments on everything. Whereas it's easier to execute the code and have an engineer glance at the code quality. Their time is better spent looking more deeply candidate's who move onto the next round. I'm not saying it's morally right, but it's just more time efficient for companies to do this and that's how the power dynamics unfortunately work.
More realistically, at least one of Jacobson's friends or family couldn't keep their mouth shut that Jacbson worked for the promotion. An associate of theirs was connected to Columbo and decided to extort Jacobson.
For example, your Chase card pays Piracy.com. Some vendor makes an unauthorized charge on your Privacy card. Now you have to deal with Privacy's policy instead of your bank's policies to dispute
