>Expectations are far too wide and as a candidate you need to know literally everything otherwise you won’t “perform strongly”. But it’s really just random chance. Coding interviews should be longer and less random. Give time for the person to mess up and get back on the right track. Isn’t that what you want in a co-worker? Systems design questions should be a long conversation about building systems, not just “what points did the candidate mention that I was expecting them to.”

One reason for this is that large tech company have horrible diversity metrics and are trying to avoid getting sued for discrimination (bot just by candidates but also by the government). If every candidate is judged on the same robotic criteria then that makes a discrimination claim harder. A second reason is to avid managers building fiefdoms or employees having much more loyalty to their manager than the company.

Startups have a wider range of interviews but they also pay much less. Although you could get lucky with an late-stage startup that hasn't fully solidified it's interview processes yet.

The shape of the tool is as important as the shape of the material, and that is technology.

Out of curiosity, are you working from Europe or US?
Yes, those salaries will generally include by health insurance- the overwhelming majority of full time US workers do have access to health insurance through thier employer (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ebs2.pdf). The number tends to go higher as you get out of low wage, low margin industries like food service.

Many employers (and probably most direct employers of software engineers) will also offer additional benefits like subsidized tax advantage retirement savings plans (401k's, very common), wellness/fitness programs (common, but varied in extent), or subsidized stock purchase programs (less common.) Those benefits can easily add up to an extra 5-10% of income.
If oil was $10000 per barrel, they would power ships with nuclear or gasp wind power just like before.

It wouldn't result in a silicon wafer fab near your house so you can have a locally-sourced smartphone. Even crops would come by sea for a large number of people.

Sure, a different tax or cost structure will shift the equilibrium. But the concept that stuff from 5000 miles away "should" be more expensive, and that we should make policy based on that assumption, is just ridiculous.

EDIT: if oil was more expensive, it would probably shift to more sea transport and fewer people living inland. If anything, land transport is the thing which has been given an unfair market advantage by externalizing costs.

´I have been thinking how I can help this kind man to regain his perspective in informatics but nothing suitable has crossed my mind so far.´

Might ask him where his heart lays, try to find someone who truly needs his help and boost your internal motivation.

In the end, the mind is just the operating system of what the heart truly wants to achieve. soul searching is not outside, it is insight you just need to get ´that´ insight.

also try philosophy with a focus on stoicism, might give some insights you wished you had before.
> Similarly, effective principal/staff/+ work requires a lot of strong connections to people in many teams, which again tends to favor internal promotions.

This might be a smaller factor for doing effective work itself, the number of new faces at all levels at big big companies might offset this. And generally, ppl working under this principal/staff+ engineer usually follow along.

But promotions would require connections to many ppl in many teams.
We were just starting a startup, and bought all computers, monitors, chairs, desks etc. when $/TL was around 8.5. Now one dollar is 12.5 TL. At least our rent for 140m2 is around 1000$ in a very good spot.

Honestly I've never understood Python for data analysis. R and Matlab have way better environments. R Studio is quite possibly the best environment I've ever used, in any language. Even creating C++ modules with Rcpp is easy. Julia is also getting there with a lot of natural advantages over R, Matlab or Python. I just don't get why anyone uses Python in this domain.
It's a pretty interesting discussion as I sold my house just this year, and was frequently watching Zillow trends and information.

Originally the estimate on Zillow said my house was 20% over the value I actually sold my house for just last month. I listed with a traditional realtor for a 5% commission, because when I looked up the service and other fees for Zillow sales, I found they included around 20% of cost for buying homes and closing within generally 10 days.

As I listed my house, and as I reduced price on it for it to gain attention, I noticed the zillow estimate also went down to always stay below my listed price. I believe the estimate that both Zillow and Redfin display prominently were purely based on what my list price was changed to last, not on any meaningful algorithm, which can be very harmful to sellers and buyers, because it makes the process a bit deceptive by nature. Luckily Zillow also displays the price history on homes, which apparently cannot be "gamed" as much as the "zestimate" can be. Another thing I noticed was that the view stats on my listing that zillow regularly provided changed, even after days passed, that was very concerning because stats of that kind aren't supposed to change... They indicate real interest in a property, that guide decisions for sellers to reduce price, and they also indicate what is truly a "hot home".

No matter what, there is always the "human factor" that can corrupt or even destroy any company, where realtors can game the process to maximize their own sales profit or positions, or where appraisers can inflate an estimate as a favor for a personal friend, even despite laws against doing so. In a bad economy, the lengths people will go to to suit their advantage are wild. This type of issue can never be properly addressed by any algorithm, and that's why trusting technology too much can so easily lead to failure in any setting.

Ultimately I am glad I did not sell to Zillow, because of all of the potential for hidden costs and because they manipulate the process even when you don't use their service, but I am not feeling sorry for them as a company... I felt the impact of their presence in the market whether I involved them or not, and that's a big problem when it comes to preserving the value of traditional investment and stable investment in a house that should be properly addressed by regulation.
The Marshall Attack Came to Prominence in an Earlier Pandemic
I am currently using Terraform almost like Docker Compose to manage about ~5 services + a database + Redis in Docker containers. When I do a deploy, I swap version 0.0.1 for version 0.0.2 for example and it brings 0.0.1 down, then brings 0.0.2 up (aka, not very rolling deploy like).

How would I migrate that to Swarm? I'm not using AWS/GCP/any of that. Just locally hosted Docker containers.

Speaking from my own experience, I've had a harder time getting data from here to there via ipfs. It's been a year or two since I last tried, but as I recall my troubles were the following:

* Transfers never starting, or not being able to exceed kbps.
* Large amounts of data makes client performance worse.
* Adding data to the store doubles the disk space used unless you take extra steps to mitigate that.

Meanwhile, I can point mktorrent at a folder, load it in my clients, and have it saturate my link within seconds/a couple minutes.

I'm keeping a close eye on IPFS and the Dat Project to take over here (and my use of Syncthing), but I'm hoping some refinement can happen first.

Question is - if/when the lira rises 15% (#1), will Apple respond as timely to adjust prices cheaper? Mindful that companies are quick to point to a reason to increase prices yet when that same reason goes the other way, not so quick (if ever) to adjust down.

I don’t think it’s just that they had a poor model, but the combination of that and adverse selection.

If you pledge to purchase at the Zestimate then people who reasonably think they can get more than the Zestimate on the open market don’t have an incentive to sell their house to Zillow (besides convenience). But people who think the Zestimate is an over estimate will of course sell to Zillow. So instead of a normal distribution of actual value:estimated value you end up with a skew towards the end where the estimate is over the actual value.

Trading housing is very different from normal market making because houses are not fungible commodities like most securities are. For most entities trading securities at low frequency it does not really matter whether a market maker skims off a few pennies on their trade; it’s worth it for the liquidity. Houses are less liquid (because they are non fungible) so the liquidity is more valuable, but the price improvement routing around a MM can also be many percentage points of a trade because there are not only so many factors affecting their valuation, but also just chance and random noise (bidding war, a particular buyer falling in love with the property, not-price-conscious buyers).
Like most broad technical questions, the answer to "A or B" is "yes". :P

You need to have read at least _some_ of the material to even know where to start and how to find more information when you hit a problem.

On the other hand, having practical experience with the technology will help you filter out "need to know" from "obscure trivia".

> Not to mention that generally ML models are not useful for assessing risk. ML nearly always focuses almost exclusively on some point estimate rather than a distribution of what you believe about a value.

It is actually quite a common practice to design neural networks that output probability distributions.
Yes, but price volatility is what matters.

For the same reason that low positive inflation is good, as long as the volatility around the inflation rate is low (so expected value of price is in tight ranges)

Hyper inflation drives people to buy goods that can be resold later for more. This happened in CCCP while it was falling apart. People would show up with all their money every morning at their local stores, buying whatever was available no matter what it was. They could resell it later for more money (effort to preserve the value of the currency they held). Apple products are a safe bet as they typically hold on to their value well, are small and convenient to hang onto (refrigerators are more difficult), and can be sold abroad, etc.
First, it's a bit of a red herring, the biggest issue IMHO is the synthetic pesticide use which correlates it. Many plants are primarily GMO to make them pesticide-resistant. The issues with pesticides you may be aware of.

Another issue is that often GMO correlates with patentry, terminator seeds, IP lawsuits, and so on. But that's also a tangential issue.

The main issue is that, just like anything new, it puts us in the "beta testing in production" area, where the product being tested is "things which none of our ancestors have ever encountered, evolutionarily" and production environment is "our bodies".

So, is Turkey and Venezuela the two major countries that are actively going through a currency crisis?

What are they doing that’s so different from everyone else? Drop interest rates, print more money.

I don’t know what Erdogan’s plan is, but unless they find strong export partners, devaluing the currency isn’t going to work out. We expect everything coming out of Turkey to be cheaper now, but who’s buying (importing)?.
That is a big ‘if’.

If the currency changes rapidly, it will have effects across the supply chain.

On sales during Black Friday / Black Weekend / Cyber Monday - this type of sales become common across multiple countries, including Turkey. But not nearly as famous.

I turned 40 recently and have gone the route of very flexible employment (~16 hrs per week remote) at Sr software engineer salary. This gives me the freedom to do basically anything I want for more than half the day with very low stress. For the past decade nobody at my several places of employment has had reason to know how few hours I work because I’m always the top performer.

I’m intending now to build software outside of the day job until I’m bootstrapped into doing that full time. I feel this is a setup which absorbs risk while giving both future opportunity and a high quality of life in the meanwhile.

I’m tempted at times to go for some super high paid position which I’m very qualified for, but it always comes back to a preference for near total freedom to live my life.
Sure, but we dont actually have a choice in the former. Unless of course you work remotely 5 days a week then maybe youll be exempt from vaccination reqs, contact tracing, masking and social distancing office rules.

>there is an easy work-around: low-income people can request an exemption and if they meet the requirements they will be exempt from the taxes.

There is an easier workaround. Just give people cash, and then hit it with marginal income tax.

>I think of my local situation in Portland, Oregon, where many people in Vancouver Washington commute to portland every day and do not pay a DIME for the road infrastructure they clog up.

From my understanding, OR collects income tax for any work performed in OR. This means residents of WA pay OR income taxes. Is this not considered "paying a DIME for the road infrastructure" (or otherwise costs of operating infrastructure in the state of Oregon?)

A commuter from WA to OR seems to be all gravy to OR. OR residents clog up OR roads just as much as WA residents do, but WA residents pay just as much OR state income tax as OR residents, but surely derive a less proportionate benefit from OR state income taxes.
