> you basically just derived a logical consequence that touching the website yields a result?

The suggestion was pretty implicit in the original comment but I think making it explicit makes the tone of the comment friendlier. It shifts the focus away from just pointing out the bad to also focusing on how to be better.

> Also, what does 'expanding' even mean in this context? At no point did you give any constructive feedback (what should be improved, why is it low, why is it 'really low' etc).

Well sure, if I was the one actually giving the feedback, expanding even more would be even better. Even just the gestural focus on how to be better still does help the tone I think, though.

> on the note of 'really'. i find 'dreadfully' much more useful than 'really'. much stronger, gives a clearer indication of how bad it really is.

"dreadfully" is stronger than "really" but that doesn't make it clearer or more useful. "This is 5.6 bad points" is stronger than "this is 3.2 bad points", but without having any standard for what a "bad point" is, it doesn't really communicate any meaningful information. I think "dreadfully" similarly shifts the tone of the comment to being more negative without adding any real content.

> let alone be less pretentious

The pretentious-ness isn't as strong, but I think there's a hint of it that comes from using a "fancier" word without adding much actual content.
I listened to today's episode of "The Daily" [1] and it had me feeling similarly.

I can't find a transcript, but he basically said, "Put aside the political differences. Forget about the hit to the economy. We are at war with this virus and human lives are at stake. Do your part."

Yes, there are special provisions during wartime, but it's unlikely we'll have that in response to a virus pandemic.
I agree. He didn't move far enough fast enough. The public's awareness and preparation was slowed by the media (NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, others) screaming "it's just the flu!" until just a couple weeks ago so most weren't prepared. :(

My comment was in response to people not realizing this was a thing a month ago.

> Its not perfect, but its the best way to scale it.

IQ tests scale a lot better than one-to-one whiteboard interviews do. They are specifically designed for that purpose.

How is an expensive, labor-intensive, never-validated approximation of an IQ test "better scaled" than a cheap, easy-to-administer, thoroughly validated IQ test?

It's not a humblebrag in terms of dollars. The idea being conveyed is that he (she?) should be unfire-able due to excellent performance (that's the brag), but that at-will employment negates the unfire-ability. I'm expressing doubt that 120% bonus is actually evidence he's such a great employee.

A piece is missing. RBS creditors were not "bailed-in" by having their debt converted to equity. Instead, they were offered guarantees (functionally, though not in name).

RBS was a classic bail out. Creditors were fully protected, and shareholders retained a substantial interest in the surviving entity (in this case 20%).

Exactly right. I think a lot of people stress that a whiteboard exercise is not a great way to ascertain coding skill.... and they're right. The part they're missing is the whiteboard exercise isn't intended to only test coding skill.

It's about how well you ask questions, how well you listen to instructions, how well you work with others and interpret the specs and information you're given. Then it's about how well you adapt to changing or incomplete requirements, and how well you can explain yourself and your thought process.

Like so many tests in life it's not about the "answer", it's about the process you used to get there.

Abstract:

Short answer: not much, and only with an overly cautious approach. The paper presents a simple mathematical model of the process and uses well-known results from control theory to prove that the approach taken by China and, to a slightly lesser extent, by Italy can work if the effect of delays is accounted for when taking the decision of the country lockdown, while the approach currently announced in the UK is likely to fail.

Can you clarify exactly how this happens?

On the brighter side, France has a company promising to produce millions of doses:

https://www.connexionfrance.com/French-news/French-lab-Sanof...

Not sure what the status is on other generic pharma companies who produce it. I know Teva produces chloroquine, but not hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) which is apparently "3x more effective" with coronavirus, and is mostly based in the US (NJ). I'm sure they've all been aware of this since February at a minimum when it first made the rounds as a possible treatment.

I browse Quora quite a lot, but I only follow writers I like, and no topics, to avoid exactly this. The average answer quality is dreadful.

I think the point about shamelessly pretending to understand, though, is a subtler question, and difficult to address. I follow people on a lot of topics I don't know about, and I've occasionally discovered later down the line than they're full of crap. And I realise in retrospect that I've helped them do it, upvoting seemingly well-researched answers because I appreciated the effort.

It really highlights the difficulty of figuring out who to trust when there's no central authority, and I could see myself being drawn into some reality-denying group a la flat-earthers or antivaxxers just because I happened to follow the wrong people at the start, and on their advice reject other answers.

If you print to buy equities, that’s reasonable, as long as you’re distributing the gains to citizens as UBI and not just buying to put a price floor on assets to maintain the wealth of a small subset of the country. So start buying up assets and fire up ACH transfers for citizens to get their dividends.

“Backstop America”, not just the wealthy. That’s the injustice people take issue with (and rightfully so). We’ve seen this before, we’ve seen how it played out, and the appetite for it to be repeated is likely not there.

I guess that's a reflection on how competently it was handled.

There were 60 million people in the US infected by H1N1 in 2009, and 12 000 of them died. It wasn't handled any better than COVID-19, the only difference between then and now is that COVID-19 is much, much, much worse than H1N1. We just got lucky in 2009.

Agree.

There was a Reddit thread a day or two ago asking something along the lines of, "How is this pandemic going to change the future forever?"

People had some really wild ideas about how the population at large was going to have these revelations about globalization, the economy, their expenditures, travel, caring about one another, UBI, social norms, voting habits...

I don't know if these people were too young to notice around 2008 or what, but my prediction is that people will be only too happy to be able to be served a cheeseburger and a beer in a restaurant or bar, where they will bitch about the past few months for a couple weeks before promptly forgetting any of it happened.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, maybe the emphasis was on the "panic" part.
That's a serious handbook about prevention and treatment, whoever to medical professionals or normal people. And it's more valuable to those medical in the fire line now, You still can watch the news about doctors or nurses treating potential patients without masks or any protect suit. It is a high risk to anyone, Once hospitals been infected even overwhelmed, We will be a very dangerous situation.

Perhaps People panic at the beginning in a piece of uncertain information about diseases, but now there is a handbook or practices something and some people have already experienced this and sum up some experiences, It deserved be paid attention to.

A bioterrorist cell would not have the resources to craft a perfectly engineered biological weapon. They'd be more likely to have access to limited quantities of some pre-existing biological agent (like anthrax, say). So what you'd see in that scenario is attacks that cause a bunch of casualties in a few locations in one big splash, and then quickly peter out after that.

It's like, what's the difference between a terrorist nuclear attack and a full-scale nuclear war? In the former scenario, you're talking a small number of low-yield devices triggered in one country; the rest of the world still stands able to provide assistance. In the latter scenario, there's nobody left to help who hasn't also been blown to ashes.

Considering I've received detailed feedback from maybe five interviewers - it's hard to decipher what the issue is. I've just tried to brute force my way through most of it since that's all you /can/ do when you get no feedback.

If someone follows the routine you set out - I follow it very thoroughly. I know it well and it's what I used to practice for when I first started. Unfortunately, a lot of interviewers don't follow that routine at all. I'd say 80% don't follow any particular routine and 30-40% immediately go to their cellphone as soon as they put the problem statement on the board. I've seen this at Facebook, Google, Uber, etc. I've seen people go from smiling to random coworkers they don't know to immediately frowning as soon as they see me and shaking my hand with regret. I'm not wearing a MAGA or "I love tabs" hat! It's really weird. It happens far too often and is why I'm looking for mock interview resources and people's experiences with them.

Sadly - I feel like even doing it online will only give me a minor edge since, again, I don't fail phone-based technical interviews much at all. It's been really hard to get back into the interview prep game since I've only really received offers from startups. (And that leads to a really lackluster lifestyle)

Inflation happens when there is too much money in the economy. The total count of money isn’t really a thing, it is the amount of money * the rate at which it changes hands. So, in order for there to be inflation you have to have the amount of “money*hands” grow faster than consumption. Since we are at a period of extreme illiquidity (money isn’t moving around,) we can afford to add more money into the system. When the rate of money transfer picks up, you need to remove money from the system (raise interest rates.)
