Sounds like good news, its observed that 6 months after recovering from SARS-CoV2 viral infection, the immune system in most of recovered people was able to identify and work fight off SARS-CoV2 virus. So if these people get in contact with the virus again, there will be less chance of them getting sick and transmitting it to other people.

Can you reference some reading material about the corrupt relationship you mentioned, interested to learn more about what happened and how.

Relative to assets, real estate, stocks, gold etc. Money is getting created in enormous quantities very quickly, while assets cannot be created so quickly. So all currencies are getting devalued relative to assets.

What about high yield bonds, are they worse than investing in stocks right now?

The first engineer has to understand that not every colleague will operate at the same level. Some people on the team will not be design or architecture wizards. Sooner everyone realizes that the better. Because, after that realization team members can focus on making things better.

In my experience, most of the successful teams are those in which team tries to grow together. So the first engineer should focus on how to get the best out of second engineer. If there are skill gaps, second engineer should be offered some courses. If there is lack of team cohesion, try some team building exercises.

Remember, life is not perfect, we have to play with the cards we are dealt with. We should try to put our egos aside, be positive and get things done.

Its not that easy, I have been through this in Ontario, Canada. Use to call in every month with actual meter reading and still get crazy bills. I then started taking pictures of the meter every month and told them to fix the issue or I will contact local media. It turned out the issue was systematic

I agree with alot of what you have said. However, here is what I am trying to understand. Who will buy US treasuries, when all its major buyers are getting in serious trouble? How will US government fund itself?

Here is a list of all the buyers http://www.treasury.gov/ticdata/Publish/mfh.txt

No country is an island anymore. Even Greece, which has a smaller economy, can cause problems for everyone around the globe.

No one is going to raise interest rate right now, even if interest rate is raised in future it will be very minimal. This is the new normal, there is hardly any inflation and price of important commodities are falling off the cliff.

Wouldn't the whole economy be screwed if interest rates are back up that much? It seems the low interest rates are the new normal, unless for some reason inflation becomes very high. With commodity prices falling hard due to increase productivity, that threat seems to be quite far now.

I have heard that the current version is not chronological. Is there a reason for that?

Congratulations to Tobi and the team, wishing them many more successes. Although I have not used Shopify extensively, but have benefited from the opensource work done by the team.

Great to see Canadian startups succeed.

Thumbs up for VIPS, used it 4-5 years ago, for building a system which processed high resolution images. Its fast, lean and an amazing piece of software.

I have had my share of bad interviews but I don't agree with this sentiment, why is it unfair? Haven't you ever been in a situation where you have to create a hot fix and deploy it as fast as you can. Haven't you ever gone through a crunch period where the deadline is closing in and and you have to fix that elusive bug. There is limited time for everything, the sooner we realize that the better.

Having control over your nerves when s* hits the fan is a valuable quality, which we should all strive for.

Most of these interviews are tests to see your approach to solving a problem. The best practice is to come up with a strategy before you hit the first key, ask as many questions as you can and find as many corner cases as you can. All the sane interviewers will appreciate that even if you don't end up with the best solution. And please treat all interviews as a learning experience, you will be much better off.

My suggestion would be to first launch your service and then worry about any other issues. Automate provisioning of your servers, so you can migrate to other providers if you have any issues. I would recommend Ansible or Chef for automation.

Hetzner 4 years, no major issues yet, good support, reliable servers

Online.net 1 year, no major issues yet, reliable hardware, support a bit slow

I really like the second point, I am going to try it, thank you.

Here is a study that backups the claim made in the article http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

That is a very interesting argument never thought of this issue in terms of royalty, brand and IP rights. You are right, it makes more sense now.

You have raised a good point about exemption, but how can a small local UK corporation setup same structure to siphon profits to Bermuda? For example, a small local architect running consultancy as a corporation.

Roads are just one example, Amazon or any other corporation depends upon a whole environment provided by the country and its government.

Beside roads the environment includes, law and order services, maintenance of military, funding of research by universities, public/partly private education system, communication services, health care services etc.

Also if I am a small corporation in UK, I have to pay my fair share of taxes, why should the multi billion giants be exempt from it?

Cross pollination of ideas and experiences is a good thing. Its good for companies and good for employees, I hope this becomes much more common.

Not a gold bug myself (its a purely speculative and non productive investment instrument), however gold's price was under pressure due to Indian government restrictions on its imports. Loosening of these restrictions is one of the factors the price of gold has appreciated even in the face of US dollar appreciation this year.

Parallelization is a very good advice, I am going through a hiring process right now where the company employs this method and according to them it has made their lives alot easier.

The take home code test they use is totally googlable, however there are multiple ways to solve the problem and they ask candidates to provide tests for their solutions. If they are happy with the solution and find it distinctive the candidate gets to explain the solution during the onsite interview.

I found the whole process very relaxed and enjoyable.
