Being the "the single best interview question" lies on what you want to extract from the interviewer. TBH, there's no single best interview question to ask (at least I didn't find one yet) but for sure there's a couple of questions that may help you to understand people's view on the world and maybe that could reflect on the way people act regarding their work.

In this particular case what I find interesting is how this question can lead to a conversation to what people find truth and how they relate that with facts and questions.

A good follow up question to whatever answer is to why you think that way and lead the conversation from there.

As for Theil's answer I agree that is not the best answer since I find it hard to believe that few people will agree with him.
A couple of thoughts:

I ran an email list at one point where we posted articles about research into brain wiring and discussed it and this doesn't jibe with my understanding.

My understanding is that emotion is another means to relate to certain kinds of information. It's like a TLDR, a file summing up all of your experiences with X and informing you how to relate to X.

So if your brain tells you "I'm in love!" that's shorthand for something like "This person meets some bar compared to other people." It's a summary of your life experience with all people, all romantic situations and all of your interactions with this one individual.

People with high affect can make snap judgements because they have a strong signal, a loud TLDR file telling them "I love this!" or "I hate this!" People with low affect can't make snap decisions. They have to take their time to think things through and make conscious, intentional choices. They can't go with their gut.

So I don't think of love as bribery. Love is a density of information telling you don't sweat the small stuff. You think this is someone to bet your future on when it's not possible to ever know for sure how that will go.

The second thought is that her idea of choosing your friends doesn't resonate with me. Just like with romantic partners, my friends are people I just hit it off with. That mutual spark is there or it's not.

I work at friendship. Friends are important to me. But if I could just decide somewhat unilaterally that "I want to be friends with x person" and make that happen, I wouldn't have been so socially isolated in recent years.
> If you don't want to take an active role in maintaining security on your computer, then by all means use a commercial operating system. Pay a license and let Microsoft and Apple make those decisions for you. They have competent people who can program reasonable default settings for the average user. If you're running Linux or an open source operating system, you've already decided to take these responsibilities into your own hands.

That is a beyond ridiculous take. The last Windows OS that did not make me mad was Win98, and every time I have to use Mac machines I want to gouge my eyeballs out. I want an OS that lets me shoot myself in the foot as much as I want.

> If you're running Linux or an open source operating system, you've already decided to take these responsibilities into your own hands.

no, I just want to use the fastest possible OS for my use case on my hardware, which is Linux.
I definitely don't want to go back to the social convention of feeling like I have to shake hands every time I meet someone. It went away once Covid hit, but I have a feeling it will come creeping back. Anyone had luck turning down handshakes without coming across as rude, particularly in a business setting? I've found it easier to turn down using self-deprecating humor in a social setting.

I make direct response digital ads for B2B companies for a living and companies spend tens of millions of dollars promoting the ads I make because they work so well.

The most important part of making a digital ad is what I call the Visual Headline, or the text on the ad image.

Another option for filenames would be to recognize that the basename and extensions are distinct parts and the extension should always be displayed after the basename no matter what is in the basename. Of course, this adds lots of complexity so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, hence why I'd want an option for language agnostic results. It would be a terrible default.

There are cases when I'd even like REGION agnostic results, or least ones not bound by national boundaries. For example, I have an interest in my state history (MI), and there's plenty of relevant articles/commentary from the Canadians.
Did they think at the time that their people would suffer more under occupation than they would trying to continue to fight?

(Actual question, not rhetorical.)
Arguably, we have a culture and education problem, where the idea of love as being invested in someone else's happiness gets conflated with sex as a hook for roping someone into co-dependency. The whole enterprise is rotten. When you stop using the word, and just mentally recognize, "I feel invested in this persons happiness," it provides for a more sound emotional foundation. When you have lust for someone, you aren't necessarily invested in their happiness, it's really something else.

The reason (imo) it gets so messy is because we have elevated and romanticized co-dependency as a culture. Biologically, a woman only really needs a man around for the first few years of infant vulnerability, and not even that these days, however, the flipside of that is that we ignore the weaning and developmental effect of having fathers around to offset the dependent identity a child has on its mother.

I'm of a more conservative view that when we started raising kids to become adults, we stopped raising them to be men and women, and so we are left with adult, vaguely defined persons, who take supervision from proxies for their mothers in a co-dependent relationship with interchangeable authorities, and who are not fully actualized men and women.

Language itself comes from our mothers, and to keep us surviving as children, the base sentiments complex language is designed to transmit are disgust and shame, to warn you away from danger and misbehavior, so as to keep us safe. Our internal monlologue of self speaks to us in language, so most of our ontology of being is predicated on this substrate. It's that powerful. When you look at traditional or tribal rites of passage, they tend to have an element of disgust and danger in them, where you are forced to become the thing that as a child you were forbidden to be, and then in this state, you are celebrated and accepted into the group as a trusted man or woman, because you have survived the disgusting things that were forbidden, and you are now you, and the tribe loves you for that which is the true you, and not your child identity defined by good behaviour.

We don't have those rites of passage anymore, and so we have generations of unweaned "adult people" who aren't accepted men or women, who can still be operated on by pulling these childhood linguistic levers of disgust and shame. Love in a world of adults, and not of men and women, is an absolute disaster as a result, since the long tail of men are treating women like their mothers, and women have to hide who they truly are to represent as these weird sexless adult authority figures.

This is a bit much for an off hand comment, but it's important in this context, as by rethinking love as being invested in someones happiness, it creates the necessary personal boundary that enables us to have something to bring to a relationship, instead of self sacrificing for a co-dependent identity regulated by an internal monologue of shame.

> Anyway, that's what's special about COVID and vaccination: it is a problem that is almost instantly resolvable for almost no cost.

That you consider giving up body autonomy "almost no cost" is what's simply insane.

It's not a sliding scale where $X of savings for Y% of personal choice. It's a black and white line that involves someone else, whether elected or appointed, deciding that you must inject this into your body for the good of society.

> I understand you're arguing from a principle: you think that, no matter how costly it is for society for someone to be unvaccinated, no matter how ridiculous their reasons are for being unvaccinated, we still cannot punish anyone for it any way.

Damn right.

> There's literally no practical fact that could change your mind on that - it could be the case that unless everyone got vaccinated the Earth would explode and all our souls would be subject to infinite torment, and you'd still insist Trucker Joe has the right not to get vaccinated and cast all of humanity into eternal damnation.

The only people that think the world is going to end if Trucker Joe does not get vaccinated are the same triple vaxed ones that are still wearing masks outdoors.

> A COVID hospitalization costs the government something like 1000x more than a round of COVID vaccinations...

That doesn't matter and claiming that you could use the same money for $PULL_HEARTSTRINGS does not make the argument any more valid.

People who give up individual freedoms to save a buck will end both enslaved and penniless.
There are products like Revolut which do this and even allow currency exchanges at market rates by using the current underlying frameworks without the need for inventing a speculation medium.

This is one of the weakest arguments in favour of crypto as it is not like you can't work with the current systems.

>and NewEgg picks a motherboard which is marked as damaged in their inventory system, and ships it to GN.

I imagine Newegg have a large inventory, but they would have to match the exact motherboard with the one Steve bought, and with some sort of CPU pin/socket damage. And the reason Steve accidentally bought an open box in the first place was due to the limited stock of that particular motherboard. So I'm not sure that this holds true.

>6. GN wants the motherboard returned, too.

Also I'm pretty sure Steve requested the motherboard back _before_ they then got the refund.

Sorry, it still makes no sense to me, but perhaps I’m just missing a viewpoint.

Marrying and divorcing based on love alone, with nothing else at stake doesn’t look to me like a bad thing. If it wasn’t for that, half of the people wouldn’t be marrying I think, and as an institution it would be in a way worse shape.

Perhaps GP isn’t embracing divorcing as a sane rational decision, and that would be the “ruined” part, on which we would diverge.

I'd foresee Apple ordering chips from Intel Foundry Services' new US fabs before Apple actually building their own fabs. Although AFAIK, IFS fabs do not yet compete in the same nodes as TSMC.

This is very very common misconception. Just yesterday I was helping someone out with a networking issue they were having on AWS stemming from this concept.

Coming from k8s/firecracker it is common to think that you need to orchestrate your unikernels with a framework of some kind. In our case (Nanos/OPS) a lot of people think that means spinning up an ec2 linux, sshing in and using 'ops run' on top of that but that is never suggested for prod deploys. Instead we suggest doing an 'image create' followed by an 'instance create'.

What does this mean? Essentially every time you hit the deploy button a new ami is made and a brand new ec2 instance spins up without any linux inside. So instead of adding layers through containers we actually subtract them. That means you can still configure the instance to your hearts content but you don't have to manage it - the cloud does for you and this is a huge win for many teams that don't want to deal with all the ops/SRE work that something like k8s brings (or even normal vanilla linux does).

It is important to realize that containers extract heavy performance penalties when running on top of existing infrastructure (like the cloud) since they duplicate storage and networking layers. They also have severe security issues - the shared kernel being the main one.

You can’t seriously tell me that I’m making a bizarre strawman argument and then proceed to repeat the exact thing I’m criticizing. It’s not “simple math”. Lockdowns weren’t just to “extend life of a few 80 yo”, even though I personally think it was a worthy “trade”. What do you think would have happened without lockdowns? How many months of “the best years of their lives” would young healthy people have lost to self-imposed isolation, sickness and loss?
I think that having more than one type of money to represent different types of value is a reasonable thing to want.

We're operating under this illusion that all value is the same because we use USD as a unit of account, but it causes a lot problems. To give just one example, look at US policy in Latin America in the 80s: We would give weapons to terrorists, and the bargain was that once they had overthrown their governments, the new ones would respect our money. Then, having made ourselves into aristocrats, we'd come in and make off with their natural resources (e.g. Chilean copper).

Better would be that if you want to influence people in a community that you aren't a member of, you have to contribute types of value that actually align with the values of those people.

Of course having only two types, as GP suggests: fiat-value and crypto-value--that's a pretty impoverished type system. I'd rather have carbon-footprint-value and space-exploration-value and infrastrucure-maintenance-value... so that the allocation of types of value in my wallet are sort of an expression of my political will. This way, poison-the-well-and-sell-bottled-water-value can be rejected by pretty much everybody (as it should), while other sectors remain untarnished.
Your privilege is showing. A huge portion of the world is under-banked or completely unbanked. It's one of the largest barriers to quality of life improvement on the planet. Say what you will about crypto's current state, but mathematically enforced property rights wrapped around a weightless, trustless, and borderless currency solves very real problems for some of the worlds least privileged people.
Krypt pretty much works all the time for me, with the main reason I still use it being that WSL can't use the host OS's ssh-agent for logging in without aliasing ssh to ssh.exe. That and the Windows ssh agent itself can't use native Windows Hello APIs[0] to have an experience similar to secretive on Mac where the keys never leave the device and are protected by the secure processor in the device.

> like to construct some fiction about how all the wealth

The only fiction is in the minds of colonial apologists, the coincidence of the impoverishment of India along with the rise of Europe is too hard to miss.

> India was a prestige project

You mean the Europeans funded hundreds of ships desperately to find an alternate trade route to India, for a prestige project? What next the whole colonisation & slavery was a prestige project to export human rights.

The mercantile policies of the crown were very clear, banning the construction of ships or locomotives, taxing salt to such an extent that it was cheaper to import salt from Britain.

While it is true that aristocrats became insanely rich, and very many Brits lived miserable lives far worse than in many princely states. It is merely due the rigid "class/caste" system that was prevalent in Europe esp. in Britain.

Colonial wealth definitely played a singular role in making Europe wealthy today.

I don't think it's too niche, I think they're just American.

A Canadian/Indian/EU-based Google probably would've ended up with multi-lingual support, whereas a China/UK based one probably wouldn't have.

By the time Google got big enough for international considerations, there were already a bunch of baked in assumptions about their users, like them being monolingual.
> there's no such thing as dynamic parsing

As long as we're indulging in pedantry, this is incorrect presuming dynamic means what it usually means. Any regular expression constructed at runtime contradicts you.

Modifying your core parser at runtime though, who would do such a thing? Other than reader macros in Common Lisp I mean. Are we going to argue this means Common Lisp doesn't parse if we add reader macros at runtime? A peculiar argument.

Now. Should we talk about whether doing that is a good idea? A lovely and separate conversation. I agree with GP that since Perl will spit out a parse tree, it does in fact parse, and since it's not static, well, it's dynamic.

Which we can prove by, I dunno, writing some Perl which only parses on Fridays. Right?
