This was told to me by someone who recently got into Google:

"It is irrelevant whether you can come up a solution all by yourself. Being able to understand and remember the optimal solutions for those questions is the key. All the interviewer is looking for is whether you can write those optimal solutions literally on the whiteboard."

We can debate (and people have here) about whether it makes sense and the like, but this is the reality. Make this process as mechanical as possible, everyone knows it's a stupid game and yet we all play along.

They do not want just to be named after that region. They want their country to eventually be this region. This is very clear if you ever visit. You can see everywhere maps like [1]. The red part is the "borders of their heart". In this photo, they actually kept the current borders (usually this is not the case) and you can see that they claim parts of Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania and a huge part of Greece. Also, a large part of the population shares these views, so such events is not just a mindless ultra nationalist minority.

I've played both but they lack the replay value of Diablo II (with/without expansion). There are a number of improvements to mechanical things when compared to the Diablo series but I felt that the Torchlight games were quite repetitive after a while. Though diablo 2 had a lot of grinding, I did not feel that way about it at the time. I've spent countless hours in Diablo 2 and Diablo 2: LOD but I could only play both Torchlight games put together for ~ 2 weeks or so.
I would love to see those training materials! I don't see any contact info, but maybe you could shoot me an email to the email in my profile?

It is, however, a massive human rights violation to separate children and parents like that. Regardless of what the opposing side believes regarding entering the country, that action is simply barbaric.
How I get my workday done in 3 or 4 hours everyday
Doug McIlroy, the inventor of UNIX pipes is quoted as "Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.".

I know it's probably not exactly what you're looking for but "Do one thing and do it well" tools and UNIX pipes to connect such single-purpose tools in my opinion is quite close to a "pluggable building blocks" metaphor.

In terms of web applications the REST paradigm and data represented as JSON structures is a similar smallest common denominator.

Someone else has already mentioned Christopher Alexander's pattern language approach. Design patterns and Atomic Design are similar concepts for the software development domain.
Let's imagine a scenario where you're not able to withdraw from a bank due to insolvency. If you're in the US your deposits (principal + interest) are insured up to $250,000 by the federal government. [0] If the federal government is insolvent your cryptocurrency will be useless because you won't have reliable Internet access and thus you won't have access to the resources needed to make or verify transactions on your block-chain of choice.

If anything, people will revert to cash or tangible assets if the federal government fails. No way crypto or technology in general is going to fill that gap.

Now tell me, what institution is going to make a holder of cryptocurrency 'whole' again if something goes wrong with their wallet or the block-chain itself?

It's not always that great accuracy. it's not logged continuously. And it's not readily available to anyone who wants it. And we are usually surrounded by others so things can't always be pinpointed to an individual.

Just because something is technically possible with a lot of preparation, doesn't make it a continuously usable source of information, especially in retrospect. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be wary, but we shouldn't practice all-or-nothing thinking.

I'd also love to know how they define a "Youtuber". Is it just total number of users? Total number of survey respondents?

Anecdotally, it's very safe to assume that for every Pewdiepie, there's 10 million accounts making less than $100 a month.
I've been grinding on an observation about the distribution of people on Earth. It can be reduced to the observation that the city of Ushuaia, AR at 55 degrees south is the most southerly city (FWIW the other two contenders for that title are near Ushuaia), while the city of Copenhagen, DK at 55 degrees north is definitely not the most northerly city. Although there is a great deal of land below the Antarctic Circle, there are only research stations there. There isn't as much land above the Arctic Circle, but civilians live above it.
I guess I should have clarified, that $38 is how much brands have paid us directly. Advertising income is a separate line item, although Internet advertising pays just as well as you would expect it to. Most months we're lucky just to cover hosting and expenses.

Another thing to consider is that sponsored/branded posts don't get as many clicks as you might think. Brands want social media presence and they want links to their site, not yours. Going through the funnel of "clicking from Facebook to my site, then clicking from my site to the brand's site" is the same funnel as any other web interaction. 10% CTR from Facebook, the same or less inside the article. And Instagram is worse, since there are no links allowed in an Insta post.

No, ICE and those who choose to work for them and carry out those orders are just as much to blame. "Following orders" is not an excuse.
> It used to piss me off a little bit, given how hard I have had to work to get to this stage

There are only so many hours in the week, only so many years in a career, and thus there's a limit to how much more one person can work than another. And yet there are people making 2x, 10x, 100x, 1000x, …, 1 billion times what others are. Compensation is largely unrelated to the amount of sweat, time, and effort we put in. Rather, it's a result of the depth of the value we provide and the number of people we provide that value to. Outcome > input.

I believe that understanding this makes us less jealous of people who seem "undeserving," and also helps us make better decisions in our own careers.

Another way to reduce envy is to realize that, ultimately, it's luck all the way down. There are plenty of talented, hard-working people who will never see even moderate success, simply because they were born in the wrong country, in the wrong decade, to the wrong parents, etc. It seems that cursing the people above us is a natural tendency for humans, but we'd do well to spend more energy thinking of those behind us, as well as appreciating our own circumstances.
Even if you accept that they are uncorrelated textbook Markowitz would give you a very small allocation to crypto since the volatility is so high.

Having never played Diablo, is there any way I can still play it on a modern computer?
I think you’re right to expect that many “influencer” careers will be reasonably short. It’s probably similar to any celebrity, really. Some stay in the spotlight for ages, but they’re rare, I’d guess most have somewhere from ~1-10 years of true fame. It’s not just celebrities becoming less sexy as they age - fans are fickle and get bored quickly.

With that being said, influencers have proven themselves to be entrepreneurial and great marketers. If someone has built their personal brand to $800K/year in revenue, I’d love for them to help build my businesses brand. I’ll bet a lot of these people could move on to a successful and lucrative career in marketing afterwards.
Flat earthers are a lot less interesting or hard to understand than people realize.

Belief in a flat earth is a dog-whistle for fundamentalist Christians.

So yeah, they don't care about the fact that we can observe the Earth is round or any other proof, their ignorance is proof of their faith.

The ROI used to be that good, and then the market became crowded and the consumers became more savvy.

Now the ROI is worse, the advertisers start lowballing, and the content creators keep accepting (because rent is due and nobody else is offering any higher, sooooo)
I misread the title and initially thought that it would be about the DEC VT340, a graphics terminal that I used a lot back in the 80s. Interesting that product numbers were reused.
Edit: Benjammer’s response is superior to mine.

Yes, large device manufacturers should help fund the infrastructure they build product support into their products for. You might disagree with my opinion, but I don’t see the opinion as being wildly out of line.

If Apple doesn’t fund it, and per mobile line 911 taxes don’t cover it, everyone’s taxes have to go up to support Apples enhanced feature and the marketing goodwill they’ll receive. Does that seem fair?
So supporting an enterprise that behaved criminally has no economic impacts?

> My Google Home Mini was inadvertently spying on me 24/7 due to a hardware flaw

Are we really supposed to believe this?

Charitably, Google does not take privacy seriously, because they release products that have gaping flaws they neglect to test or correct. It would have been trivial for a test engineer to see a unit is collecting data on conversations without the wake word.

Or uncharitably, Google does not take privacy seriously, because they are releasing spyware, and just lie when they get caught.

Edit: In this case, maybe some leeway can be given because they were test devices, but it still makes me wary of having these type of things in my home.
Path of Exile is a spiritual successor to Diablo / Diablo 2. https://www.pathofexile.com/game
I think that relative to the other issues that occurred with other former Yugoslav republics, a naming dispute was easily ignored at the time.
I think thats the point, Greece doesn't want Macedonia to be able to claim the territory of Macedonia by virtue of naming.
ICE is ripping children away from their parents, and locking them in camps. No matter your political affiliation, you should find that abhorrent.

And there is exactly no law which requires this. It is entirely a Trump administration directive.
>> "You are calling 911. The purpose of the call is specifically to ask the government to send someone to your location."

Correct. I'm not asking the private company "RapidSOS" to relay my location to the government. The endless string of leaks makes me distrust companies with data. Every party I depend on having good security is a new party that might screw up, or intentionally misuse the data.

The involuntary risk surface area is already large enough.
My MIL is convinced that WiFi is the cause of all of her skin issues and headaches. She quit her job because IT refused to move one of their routers from near her office. She sleeps in a Faraday cage :-|
The point of 911 is to have emergency responders come to a location. Said location is not necessarily your location.
Except, lol, it’s the reverse of the Macedonia-Greece issue: the US was the only recognized independent state in the Americas when they chose their name. If “Canada and Mexico and all of South America would like a word” they should invest in time machines.
"The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is an international financial institution owned by central banks."

You can make your own mind up on whether this would make them biased or not.
My guess is the guy worked for a Tier 1 auto supplier. It's probably the biggest reason why any company would open a field location in Detroit that's large enough to warrant the presence of several director-level staff.

Also, it's quite typical that an auto OEM would contractually require a supplier to have safety inspectors at each site, so he may not have been as forgotten as he thought.

Just a theory.

>The idea that we can create distinct categories based on skin colour is incredibly misguided.

Yet the "idea" that we can create distinct categories based on geographical heritage is not only not-misguided, it's obvious. You're making a straw man argument because you're the only one isolating skin color alone as the sole determinant in race — albinos exist so obviously you're right. But geographical heritage (ie whether your parents came from Asia or Africa) not only creates distinct categories between people, but it's dishonest to say they don't.

You really telling me that the racial makeup of the NBA has nothing to do with geographical heritage? FOH lmaooo

Incorrect. If a parent commits murder, do we imprision the child with them? No.

People are breaking the law and their families are being separated because of it. This is squarely on the people breaking the law, not the people enforcing it.
edit: Didn't read the the "spiritual" part of the "spiritual successor". Though you could argue diablo 3 is, I would not be so bold. You should still try diablo 3 if you haven't.

Diablo 3 is actually pretty good now if you want a successor. If you just want something similar to diablo 2 I suggest torchlight or titan quest.

Diablo 1 is tricky because it was so much closer to rogue likes (probably because originally it was one). I would love to see a game that has a more subdued and methodical pacing but with less town hacks :)

This same argument is use to justify why we shouldn't allow encryption back doors. The reasons include: access will leak, law enforcement cannot be trusted.

I don't see anything in this announcement that addresses those concerns.
What about Python?
As I mentioned to you in my other comment...

People are breaking the law and their families are suffering because of it. It has nothing to do with Trump, it's a conscious risk these people are taking as they attempt to bring their families into the country illegally.

I've not tried to solve this question, but I think that by "mutate the inputs", tzs means mutate them as part of the algorithm you write, not before you use the inputs in your algorithm. E.g. it could be something like take a subset of the array, solve the problem for it, save that partial solution, then overwrite that part of the array for some reason, and repeat the same sort of logic for the other parts of the array, also using that saved partial solution (maybe) for the remaining work.

It's like the difference between sorting an array in-place (mutates the array as a whole (by changing order of items), but would not be legal sorting if it deleted or added any items), versus sorting it into a different array, leaving the original array intact. E.g. the difference between Python's lis.sort() and sorted(lis) where lis is a Python list.

This thread started because someone was concerned that OMG, law enforcement might actually get the location info that you're trying to send them.

If your concern is specifically about the 3rd party getting the data because they're acting as intermediary, I can understand that. I don't agree, but understand.
Inability to zoom out more kills it for me. Feels too much like diablo 2 at 800x600
I'd question the accuracy of the data. I grew up in the largest fishing port on the west coast. Curious to see what was in the bay I was dismayed to find boats listed that were lost elsewhere and wrecks I fished on not listed at all.

Functions are at least restricted enough that you can sort of reason about them. If these things are not even functions then there's no hope of ever understanding them.
Did it cause issues for Germany to call themselves the “Holy Roman Empire [of the German Nation]” for a thousand years? (Honest question.)
You could be, for example, remember that the UK already had a internet filtering program which forced ISPs to monitor all the content shared by users within the UK, and the UK government was forced to withdraw it because it was incompatible with the EU Charter of fundamental rights. Yes, that same charter that is going to be repelled after the Brexit.

Apple is building a feature that will help them maintain their image and gain more user trust and loyalty. Government services aren't capitalist companies, their job is to efficiently allocate budget, not to "out-compete" anyone.

If Apple starts subsidizing the cost of modern 911 (and building a feature into their mobile operating system to make 911 more accessible is surely subsidizing the cost of upgrading failing public safety infrastructure), they need to bear some responsibility for the system as a whole.

If richer areas see benefits from this and start to drop the amount they spend on something like a private, enterprise mobile 911 product, then other departments are going to follow suit, and suddenly you have less 911 support in poorer/more rural areas because that's where fewer people have iPhones, yet departments are still following national budgeting/spending trends.
This case seemed a pretty cut and dry bug in pre-release software. They actually launched the device with the at-fault feature disabled while they fixed the bug, even. I get that Google is difficult to trust when it comes to privacy issues, but in this case it seemed like a bug much in the way a few weeks ago an Alexa picked up keywords that it understood as "Call this person" and the people on the other end of the call were able to hear a private conversation.
Hmmm yet again, I am inclined to not believe this. How is it that these bugs always end up invading our privacy, and not the other way round? ("Google/Facebook admits a bug in their system reduced the data they could collect"). Because those bugs are true bugs as far as these companies are concerned, and they're squashed ASAP.

This is like when Facebook had an oopsie about leaving the microphone on, "oh no sorry it was just a bug." Right, when you abused an iOS API to leave your app running all the time, a side effect was that you also recorded all the conversations on the phone. These companies are becoming a cancer on our privacy.
