> you don’t want to use that oven for food purposes anymore. Lots of toxic chemicals will off-gas in the reflow process.

Just run the oven at full heat for an hour and you are fine - the same process that off-gassed the chemicals in the first place, will also deplete them from the oven when you run it later. (Keep the vent on, or ventilate the kitchen.)
Disappointed by the result of billions of inanimate particles bonding and forming not only self-replicating structures, but adapting to continually self-replicate and iterate on successful/unsuccessful changes?

I’m not disappointed, I’m amazed. Amazed that over the course of several billion years these inanimate particles and structures have progressed to such a point that we can even ponder them and express our disappointment in them.
So Tesla's lawyers probably aren't doing great either.
Good point. Although, I don't think it's the case: mine's essentially zero.

Don't misunderstand: I've seen that stuff on Twitter. I've reported a few people. And political topics and other controversial topics are absolutely rife with it. I do not excuse it in any way.

I just find it easy to avoid?
Honestly, most companies will prefer the candidate who projects poise and confidence rather than anxiety, all else being equal. Sorry but that's life. Work on overcoming that.
Welcome to 2016!
When I interview a candidate, if they don't know the answer but say "they could Google it" I would then ask them what they would Google.

If what they Google would provide them the correct answer, I'm OK with someone who knows how and when to Google something. Those that don't think about researching themselves usually end up asking me in-person. And I usually then ask them if they have done any research themselves.

You're overthinking this.

Water has a cycle in nature. It evaporates, makes clouds, then condenses and creates precipitations. Over one year, the average precipitation level across the whole planet is about 1 meter (1000 millimeters). Since the Earth area is 500 million km2, then every single year about 500 million cubic kilometers of water evaporate and then rain down.

We are not in any danger to contribute meaningfully to this.

The theoretical minimum energy to electrolyze 1 liter of water is 16 MJ. Or 16 billion GJ per km3. This is the same as 4444 TWh per km3. The entire world electricity production per year is about 22 TWh, so if we use all of it to electrolyze water we would use up a grand total of 5 cubic kilometers of water. Which later would be released in the atmosphere as water vapor, when we burn up the Hydrogen.

That means we would add 1 part in 100 million to the annual water cycle in nature.

I liked Newspeak better when it was just a plot device in a novel I had to read in high school. But have to deal with corporate Newspeak at work; I see other kinds of Newspeak from people who misuse social media for performative political/social activism, and euphemisms proliferate at such a pace that a Beowulf cluster rigged to emulate George Carlin's personality would burn out trying to catalogue them all.

Part of being an investor means accepting a certain social value to your investments.

A lot of people want to be a part of the Tesla story. Maybe they buy a car, or maybe a share of stock.

(By the way, PDV starts to be harder to pin down when people can't agree on what inflation even means, let alone what it will be in the future.)

How does banning Trump, Nazis, and outright liars overstep Twitter's authority?

I agree that a companies are not people but they also aren't the proverbial public-square. Why should Twitter be subject to laws that the daily newspaper is not? WaPo, USAToday, etc aren't required to publish Trump's rants, Nazi propaganda, or anti-science nonsense.

Re: surpises: I think the #1 thing is that we can find optimizations for EVERYONE. Like even people who think they've got everything in place, we can find significant tweaks/improvements.

It's the difference between keeping it all in your head vs. having a database of all the best financial products out there applied to your situation.

Re: friends - just send them over to us! The magic really happens when we can get a complete picture of someone (which doesn't take too long - the form is about 15 mins), that way we're giving them truly the best recommendations.

For example, people have come to us saying, "Where should I invest?" not understanding that they're in high-interest debt and should really focus on getting out of debt vs. trying to figure out what crypto platform to use.
I've worked in these environments before (not as a programmer though).

It definitely tests your skill and you can identify who can solve problems on their own. Hopefully you have an additional network that you can do research on.
You actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that, I needed it today :).
Focusing on that one issue presents an incomplete picture, to say the least. LVT has been tried many places, and has been no less successful than other tax systems. Here's a pretty thorough analysis and discussion of empirical results.

https://www.lincolninst.edu/sites/default/files/pubfiles/ass...

Of course there are secondary and/or orthogonal problems that need to be solved. Of course there are some people who complain, either because they are truly being overtaxed or (more often) because they think they personally would do better under some other system. Just like literally every other tax system including the ones most of us live under right now. LVT is no panacea, but there are legitimate reasons to believe it's a fundamentally better starting point than the mishmash of income, sales, and property taxes we have now.

Maybe consider where you're looking is more likely to attract bot replies? It's like an NFT discord you're more likely to see spam for eventual rugs because they're hunting people already proven to be likely to invest in stupid NFTs. Step off celebrity twitter and there's a lot less bot activity because it's less profitable to spam there.
The site's UX is not at issue.

TFA focuses on the significant problem of mismanagement of US public lands, and the extent to which handing over such a large amount of control over these publicly owned resources to a private entity with a profit motive has lead to negative results.

>Have you ever interviewed someone whose resume looked good but who couldn't code basic things? The kind of candidate FizzBuzz was invented for?

I think that's fair, and why most people aren't against an hour or 90 minute tech screen where someone has to write some code. But I've had to do a 3 hour take home assignment, then an hour long tech screen solving some medium level LC problem, THEN an all day onsite doing design+multiple coding rounds.

On top of that there's the randomness factor. I know people who interviewed at FAANGs and basically had to do some easy level graph traversals and some linked list manipulations. Others get asked hard bottom up DP coding questions and need to use Prim's algorithm for MSPs like, wtf lol those are not the same thing.
I would have assumed exactly the opposite in terms of urban land being uniform in value.

10 acres that are 30 minutes from Des Moines, IA are going to be very similar in value (price people are willing to pay) compared to 10 acres that are 10 miles down the road. Rural land is generally quite uniform and more likely to be functionally the same. In an urban area, say Los Angeles, 10 acres in Malibu (an area with very high demand for property) is going to have a totally different value (again, price people are willing to pay) as compared to 10 acres 10 miles away in skid row.

The problem, that other people have highlighted, is how do you (the government/IRS/agency in charge) determine the value of each of those land areas? Letting some city planners in LA decide that those two areas should have the same LVT, or allowing them to determine what tax each should have, is gifting a lot of power to people who may or may not be qualified, and may or may not experience any sort of consequence for poor decision making/ biased value assessment/ etc.

The exact way that sort of value/tax-setting would play out would be very interesting, but the unintended consequences could end up being pretty bad.

I've always thought it was interesting that property tax assessments don't just use the previous purchase price, and instead rely on a relatively arbitrary valuation. That could be one way to more accurately determine an LVT - make it a set percent of the previous purchase price of the land, that would allow the taxes to be priced in to land transactions.

I still just don't love the idea at its core.
Hum, handling the first to error and interrupt the others is a good use case.

From what I read, Loom structured concurency will not automatically interrupt the other tasks though. And the .close I think will wait for all of them to complete. They said it's because you might not always want other tasks to cancel, so they made it more explicit.

But arguably, maybe if you had a catch in there it would be triggered on the first task to throw. But I can also imagine a similar function to wait for the first future to return or error in Clojure. Though I'm guessing at that point one might say that's just implementing structured concurency?

My question maybe was about the need to close virtual threads. Are they just abusing Closeable so you can use .close as a wait for all to complete even when errors are thrown feature, or do you actually leak resources if you don't clean up Virtual Threads you're done using?
I'm pretty sure 85% of the people I interviewed with didn't read my resume and my education never came up.

This. Whats funny too that I've learned from my last job hunt is its actually better for my career, money-wise, ladder-climbing-wise, to _not_ care about my job function or knowledge, but rather memorize leetcode and system design solutions.

Note this doesn't mean I actually strive to be good at those things over my job though. Just pointing it out, that's what the current technical interview process selects for.
> Toyota's net income far exceeds Tesla's

Far exceeds? It is only 5% higher so that's a bit of a stretch ($22.4bn vs $21.4bn).

Plus Toyota had shrunk it's net income from 20/21 to 21/22, while it was a 116.86% increase for Tesla, so it would need an optimistic person to think that Tesla hasn't already overtaken in the last few months since 21/22 year end.
This is a very ambitious project and from the looks of it, it makes a ton of good decisions.

- For any non junior position, we dont even care about the degree. Personally, I don’t even read this part of the CV. Experience matters way more.

For me, as long as you are doing decent work, nobody will avan care about what degree you have. Furthermore, I’d say that companies filtering you on this is a good thing : you really don’t want to work for a company that recruit people based on a piece of paper they got decades ago.

> digging deeper, the "people in the know" are now pointing out that this $1 Billion escape clause is actually very restrictive and unlikely to be invoked. Musk might be forced into buying Twitter at the previously negotiated $54.20 price.

Matt Levine had a pretty different take, pointing out that if Elon Musk suddenly appears to be unwilling to buy Twitter, his financing might see that and - suddenly, but perfectly legitimately - evaporate, which would be a valid reason for Musk to walk away.

It really is true that lending someone a lot of money to make an investment they aren't interested in is a much worse financial move than lending the same money to the same person to make an investment they are interested in.
Better lawyers isn't a fool proof trump card you can use to just get out of anything. This isn't like Trump stiffing contractors on a job site where he has all the money and the contractors are (relatively speaking) penniless.

The future cash flow of existing bonds is fixed and it does not increase. If you have a bond that pays a 2% annual coupon you will see it's value drop when interest rates increase. The reason is that you can now get a newly issued bond that pays a higher (say 3%) fixed coupon so your's is worth less.

Your bond's price will drop to say 90% of the notional amount while the new bond will trade at 100% so they will effectively have the same "yield" of 3%.

Public Trust: The Fight for America's Public Lands [video]
No. I learned algorithm complexity in secondary school and started early enough that coding my own hash table was a normal exercise because the standard library didn't come with one (Turbo Pascal).

I also discovered competitive coding via the International Olympiad in Informatics (also a school thing, pre-college), and the kinds of problems in those turn out to be almost identical in form to today's style of coding interview. I only had to learn recursion and I could start hacking away at problems.

Fancy techniques like "dynamic programming" are normally amenable to memoized (i.e. cached) recursion implementations, but in practice most interview problems aren't even that hard.

Now, I went to college, but it was a mixed degree with business and it didn't teach things like hash table implementation, let alone pointers. Algo analysis material was weak. I was the best student only because I knew it already. The degree is mostly useful for visa qualification. I also got very good at pool.

The problem is that most land has stuff on top of it. The government can't buy the land without the building that comes with it.
The companies that provide the cash back get way less than 3-5% of the gross purchase price. Merchant fees, at least for Visa, don't even approach 5%[0] -- it's more like 1.5 to 3%. And they're definitely not spending all that fee on rewards (and thus taking no profit).
