He said the same thing way before the candidates.

How would that work if you build a house on your land that you cannot just move to a different lot?

I would call this a cheat-sheet rather than a cookbook.

Random sort meaning that sometimes a>b, other times a<b for the same values. Whatever algorithm a language's built in sort implements probably assumes that comparisons are consistent. I remember checking a few versions of perl and some created a core dump iirc.

What is the catch here? In multi dimensional and infinite cases it can be a little tricky, but in this one is there more to it than "all permutations should have the same probability"?

Stuff like whether the algorithm will always stop, or whether it runs O(N) vs O(N square). The main point to me was more to be able to have a conversation about the solution rather than it being absolutely right. I remember quite a few people using randomness, the most odd (and totally wrong) one using a random sort function over an array of (1..52).

Can you elaborate on what made the question obscure? I'm asking because I used the question "print out the first 52 numbers in random order"in interviews before, and the answers seemed to give a good hint about understanding of basic CS concepts.

Any hints on how to solve even the easy one? I did map out what a sequence like right->down->left->up does, but feels like I'm still missing a step at least.

There is competition between car companies.

If you believe in competition then the logical consequence will be that the no haggle MSRP will be much more competitive than the current (well pre-COVID supply chain horror) MSRP with 5% padding built in because everyone likes to haggle and think that they are getting a good deal.

Hypocrisy was probably not the perfect word to use, and I am happy for the positive change. Having said that, it needs to be pointed out when somebody supports policies that disadvantage people right until the point when those policies start negatively affecting them. Maybe "lack of general empathy" is the right phrase, like somebody else in the thread said.

Same hypocrisy with supporting stem cell research after Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimers, but opposing first. Or the Cheneys' attitudes towards same sex marriage after one of their daughters came out as lesbian.

Majority being currency, unless the stock goes up a crazy crazy amount.

Those are equity, not currency. There is a reason why employees of those companies get paid in local currency, and not company stock.

> What specific law was broken?

Market manipulation, fraud.

Gotcha. You have the option to manage your own NFT-s or BTC, but if 99% of the users are accessing the ecosystem thru centralized actors, then sooner than later you'll have issues interacting with those users. Think running your own mail server and trying to send an email to a friend on Gmail. Coinbase might put a hold on the BTC you send to a friend because it was coming from an untrusted source. We are back to web2.

Things might have changed since I bought property a few years ago, but back then I just took a screenshot of my bank account and tried to keep a straight face when giving it to my realtor.

Sorry, I'm not following how what you posted related to my comment.

Not that much of a joke if you consider that crypto is supposed to be decentralized and permissionless in opposition to fiat that the banks hold.

Thanks. The odd thing is that the weather report looks somewhat accurate. I'm not behind any proxy. Let me know if I can help debug.

I get "Weather report: not found" on the first line and then a 3 day forecast for idk what location.

Thank you!

Is there a way to get rid of the right sidebar with the flying smileys, hearts and other reactions? Seems to defeat the purpose.

I would really love to know how they trained dogs to lie motionless for 7 minutes in a noisy MRI machine.

This is relevant for CPU bound loads. Lots of lambdas do networking stuff where 90+% of the time is waiting for an HTTP download.

For anyone following along the article, it should be "Row 4, Row 7, Box 4, and Box 6" where it says "Row 4, Row 7, Box 4, and Box 7". Somebody please correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

You're making the assumption that everybody in the office prefers working from home.

> People don't capture the full value of their labor (which makes a sort of sense, given imperfect information and how risk is allocated),

I think it is primarily due to de-risking. You agree with your employer that the biggest percentage of your income will be fixed and independent of how much value the company produced (be it profits or share appreciation or whatever). This makes sense because your life has high fixed costs, and your cash-flow cannot allow for years when you make zero (or even a negative amount), even if in the next one you would make 5 times your current salary.

> which leads to people not being incentivized to increase the value of their labor.

Don't think this is necessarily true. I would love to walk into an apple orchard now and spend an hour picking if I could keep 25% of the apples.

What was stopping Zillow from having a human look at the property and adjust the price based on factors that their algorithm didn't consider?

A CEO will answer Blackrock's phone call, not yours. Hedge funds can afford to hire analysts and buy information because they have many orders of magnitude more under management than you or me.
