These interviews are faux IQ tests though. More often than not these interviews tests a candidate's ability to research interviews and their ability to practice brain teasers and memorize common algorithmic solutions.

> Complex software engineering is inherently tied to innate ability, as painful as it is to admit.

Highly disagree. There is nothing in the field of programming that cannot be taught or learned. Being a good programmer doesn't make you smarter or better than an average programmer, or a non programmer, as painful as it is to admit.

My take is that the intellectual posturing comes from a social context, and has nothing to do with ability. People love to feel special, and pretending that you have to be a genius to be a top level programmer is easier (and nicer to the ego) than accepting that perfectly average people can excel in this field.

I'm ready for Bitcoin, and crypto-currency mania in genral, to either crash and burn or take off to the next level and produce something of value.

I can't be the only one who is growing tired of seeing the same circular discussions rehased on every click-bait article posted by Bloomberg/forbes.

There's nothing exciting or newsworthy about the price fluctuations that have been present since day 1. Sure, the dollar value swings are larger - but nothing new is happening.

edit: found the wannabe over-night millionaires.

Agreed. Filtration systems are cheap, and even if you don't have one with you it's pretty easy to boil water to be sure.

In the extreme case that you can't boil the water, try collect rain water or water closest to an in-ground source (top of a stream where it comes out of the ground or a natural spring).

The biggest risk factor imo (outside of personal hygiene) is not knowing what lies further upstream. Only takes one dead animal to make you have a real bad time.

I don't have kids, but have the same viewpoint from my personal experience growing up.

Anything that is built to 'encourage child engagement' usually comes off as patronizing or boring.

I learned about tech early on because I had natural curiosity and interest in it. My parents never went out of their way to 'encourage' me to learn about tech, and the things they did try to get me interested in never really stuck with me.

The teaching toys are just toys, and will be treated as such.

User downloads != transactions. A user can download the app once and conduct hundreds of transactions.

Refunds still exist, and are honestly easy to request. My point is that there is most likely a very strong product/business decision as to why there isn't a "get my money back now" button in the app.

Weather it's most or a lot, the noise generated in either case is enough to cause operational issues and bottleneck customer service for people who have genuine needs for refunds.

Steam and Google play are much different services and user bases.

I'd also like to see comparative transaction amounts before you claim "completely false".

It would leave too much room for fraudulent or abusive behavior. Would exponentially increase the time their claims/customer service team has to spend digging through refunds to sort the real ones from the bs.

As a bad customer: I don't like the drivers name - refund. I thought the driver was too slow - refund. I just want to see what I can get away with - refund.

Believe it or not, most people will exploit systems to the fullest extent.

As someone who has been dealing with migraines since I was in my early teens, this is concerning.

I'm curious what the distinction between a risk factor and an early symptom are though. Could it be possible that migraines are just early symptoms of cardiovascular disease versus a risk factor?

Hoping someone with medical knowledge could chime in.

Intelligence aside, I see a difference between actively depleting a population and farming animals as a resource.

There is no value created in exchange for your money down.

It's just betting that the value will change arbitrarily (or through manipulation).

Yeah not saying it's a good choice on their part as it helps perpetuate the conflation between crypto and crypt-currency.

Unfortunately this will be another case of literally/figuratively.

The domain is crypto.robinhood.com and the website title is "Robinhood Crypto".

Title is perfectly accurate.
