Sort of. They definitely perform this sort of binning, but the demand of the parts in the market and the success rates are things they have to estimate beforehand.

If they'd run out of the higher-end binned parts, they have sold out. But if they run out of the lower-end binned parts, they just relabel the higher-end parts and keep selling both lines.

Yield also isn't constant, so odds are the number of parts binned higher goes up over time as well.

The problem with this question is if someone gives a good answer, it can be hard to tell if they studied it or they actually know. Maybe you can suss this out with follow ups.

If they don't give a good answer, maybe they haven't looked into networking details and debugging for some reason -- a lot of junior people haven't, but they may have the aptitude to learn and be great at it, but just don't have the knowledge base yet. Although it depends on exactly what you're hiring for, too. If you need the person like me, who will find and fix your weird problems with networking, maybe they should know this, or be able to make fairly plausible guesses; but most people on my team don't need to do that (although it's always nice to have more).
Facebook's hold in developing economies is true. But developing economy's hold on their Fiat currency is true as well. So much so that, India is planning to jail anyone who is holding cryptocurrency for 10 years[1]!

If this legislation passes, any computer scientist, mathematician, programmer who is working with crypto tokens & block chain can technically be held liable for possessing a crypto currency when they run their program?

Yes, the plan to jail those who hold cryptocurrency in a democratic country is preposterous; but this shows how sensitive a developing economy could be when it comes to its money. It's not like the data of their citizens which these countries give a free run to the hoarders, money is totally different ball game.

I wonder if Facebook decides to give a free crypto to everyone who holds a FB account, anyone in India with a FB account will go to jail including those who proposing such legislations?

P.S I don't hold any cryptocurrency due to its impact on energy and thereby planet (Also, I'm including this just in case the legislation passes in my country!).

I’m a working novelist (I put out about two books a year, I’m a WSJ best-seller, Edgar nominee, blah blah blah) and the number one mistake I made in the past is the same as when I would sit down in front of a code editor or Photoshop and not have a plan. While we can all “seat of the pants” things to some degree, without a detailed plan your chances of getting derailed increase exponentially.

I’ve written best-sellers in week (for real) - not because I have any special skill (I’m not a particularly fast typist) but because I write very detailed outlines that break things down enough that I never stare at a blank screen yet always have enough room to have fun improvising.

Outlining for me is asking a series of nested questions about “What” and “Why” and always knowing where I need to go next.

Southwest Airlines and United both offer freight services to the public, I'm sure most others do as well. United Freight in particular has a dedicated pet transport service. Other than pets, you just walk up to the freight counter, pay the clerk and your freight arrives at the freight counter other end. Greyhound and Amtrak offer these services as well to the public. I saw a family ship a refrigerator halfway across Colombia via bus back in 2014 for $10 under a passenger bus.

If they're offering it to the public, no reason not to offer it at a corporate rate.

> It's these local city governments like Palo Alto and Mountain View that allowed Google to massively expand without also allowing developers to build housing to support the employees for that expansion.

There's probably plenty of blame to go all around. IMO companies like Google (disclosure: I work there) caught on to the magnitude of the problem too late, and when they did, they ran into the local political resistance.

Why were they so late to catch on? Well I only have theories, including that it's only in the last few years that the cost of housing has made life difficult even for well paid employees, and those employees have voiced their frustrations.

In some ways I don't think that Google (and other companies that might follow them) deserve so much praise for finally attacking this by the horns at this late stage.

"Using a cryptocurrency" doesn't solve the problem of hyperinflation in itself.

Kidding. Don’t listen to the parent. The only problem with this question is that it’s general purpose and very well understood, but those aren’t issues. You should still ask people what port HTTPS uses even if it seems stupid because you’re going into an interview blind and you need to assess the experience of a person very quickly (and, sometimes you get surprised by charismatic fools). All questions are tools, this one will tell you that either the person knows this question very well from studying it (which is valid, and you would be able to tell) or they have some experience with it (more valid) but it will tell you where they are most comfortable talking about and you can dig more into various parts if you want.

You seem to be missing the forest for the trees. DST policy changes _are_ rare, compared to the millions of times when people schedule multi-timezone meetings, international flights, etc. Bursts of high frequency DST policy changes are so rare that they get articles written about them.

> you cannot correctly convert that UTC date back to local time.

Of course you can. It may not be the same local clock time with most implementations, sure, but it will still correctly point to the same physical time relative to the local times of everywhere else on Earth. It would be physically impossible to retroactively change the time of the meeting to account for the the DST policy change and maintain the same clock time for participants in other timezones, so something's gotta give.

It's also not true that you can't recover the intended time after a DST policy change. Although it's monumentally laborious, it's definitely possible: you can keep track of the historical changes in the timezone database and work backwards from the UTC date and the date of that record change.

> By converting a future date to UTC, you're making the assumption that the timezone information you have for that future date won't change from now until that date passes.

Sort of. The assumption there is that the time delta between now and then is smaller than the delta between a notice of policy change and the time it goes into effect. It is, however, technically an engineering trade-off. The trade-off here is that you can have a far simpler and almost-always correct implementation by taking a tiny risk of a discrepancy between intent and actual local time in the extremely rare occasion that a policy changes without advance notice. Responsible governments will typically give plenty of advance notice so timezone databases can be updated and clients can then correctly calculate future offsets since they will know how to account for the policy change.

You could certainly forego UTC time and make an engineering decision of storing local clock time if your application matches a very strict set of timezone boxing requirements, but in my experience, it's more common that people pick this approach out of ignorance than careful analysis, and in some cases, it gets nasty to support when the requirements change (e.g. as soon as you have a new sales team office on the other side of the country)

Agreed with this.

Comcast is a terrible company in pretty much every way, shape, and form, but xfinitywifi has been useful to me many times now as a usable fallback when nothing else is available.

Better OS-level tools to manage these connections (i.e. intelligently not connect and flag as degraded) when the signal or backing network is extremely weak would be a huge boon though.
>Users aren’t reducing your internet speed any more than a new neighbor signing up for Comcast. The technical capability of their cable network is far faster than the speed Comcast doles out to you, since you pay for a throttled speed tier. The xfinitywifi network users aren’t included in your throttled speed.

Is this actually true? I mean sure, DOCSIS 3.1 is capable of gigabit speeds in theory. But are the CPU and other resources on the modem/router actually _fully_ isolated? And coaxial cables that were laid decades ago, are they actually capable of reaching speeds fast enough to totally isolate you from bandwidth issues? Some people fail to hit their advertised speeds as is.

My guess is that the reality is, you do lose some performance and gain some latency if there's a lot of xfinitywifi traffic going through your router.

I am a Comcast customer, reluctantly, as pretty much any other Comcast customer, but I use my own hardware always. I don't like what Comcast is doing here, especially because they're not really telling you about it. Of course, as you would expect, you don't get any discount for what you are doing for them either, it's just part of life if you rent equipment, which eventually costs more than it saves anyways.

But even if you buy your own hardware, trying to feel in control can be very hard. I used to use a MikroTik hAPlite as a router, but it got hacked a couple of times, and many more vulnerabilities eventually turned me off of MikroTik products despite how nice they were to use. Then I moved to one of the actually-kinda-expensive Linksys AC2600 and boy did that stuff piss me off royally. On top of the annoying 'smart' features, including a click through EULA and requiring online registration to access my own router's configuration menu, it honestly performed terribly. Being in an apartment, I connect my desktop via WiFi, and this thing couldn't even keep a stable connection for that. Some devices wouldn't connect at all, and I never figured out why, after hours of looking through logs and troubleshooting; the hAPlite had no such issues.

So... I gave in. Surfboard SB82000 modem, Ubiquity Unifi AC and USG, and Cisco switches. It isn't cheap, and frankly it's completely ridiculous overkill. It's gotta be like, $500 worth of crap new, and it does require some additional setup, like having a machine setup to act as the controller. But, I rest a lot easier, and I have literally not had a single issue since configuring everything. Which is definitely more than I can say for any Comcast-installed equipment I've had to deal with. Good riddance.

I hope some day there's a 'sane' option for people who just want good performance, good security for home use cases, but right now I'm wondering if there will ever be anything aimed at consumers that isn't trying super hard to exploit the crap out of them. The situation with consumer internet equipment has left me very jaded, especially because I remember running DD-WRT on a WRT54G and having a great time.

Edit: It is worth noting that I never tried any of the whole home mesh WiFi solutions. I’ve heard good things, but apartments seem like unideal places to install them.

Honestly, there's very little code where comments on the function calls can't be helpful. Let's use GetUserDetails(userId)

A comment like "gets the details about a user" is of course a waste of time.

What I like to see is everything about using it, without having to read the code. For example: "Gets details for a user, based on the Service.CurrentUser access rights. If userId doesn't exist, is not available valid id, or the current user diesn't have permission, throws exception. Note this can return data for disabled and deleted users, so if used for non-admin functionality, you should check the State property. Due to caching, this might not show changes made in another session in the past couple minutes."

The lack of a check for disabled status (for example) won't be obvious if I'm not actively thinking about checking disabled status. That few seconds of a comment can easily prevent a bug when someone consumes this - especially if they didn't write this API or are new to the cosebase (maybe they don't even know disabled users are a thing).

Sometimes when you write these types of comments you realize your naming is bad, or that there's an API change that would make it easier to avoid a mistake - such as having separate GetActiveUserDetails() and AdminGetUserDetails().

I think about this during vice reviews, too: I've often asked for comments to be added on existing methods being consumed (but not modified in the code I'm reviewing) because the new use made me wonder about how something would be handled and I had to go read a couple levels deep to figure it out.
