Interview behavior is certainly a reflection; presence of a whiteboard, on the other hand, tells you absolutely nothing about the quality of the workplace.

Revenue is different from profit. It seems like last year their revenue was about 2.5 billion and their profit was around 23 million - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/annual-report-2019-outlook-20...
As someone working in ML (a couple of years of experience), I'd much rather be in your position than mine.
> At the end of my programming day, I want to look on something that is beautiful. I don’t particularly care about how useful a chunk of code is or how much money it might make, or what silly little business problem it solves. If the damn code is ugly I don’t want to see it.
I can't relate to this at all.
AI that resembles human intellect in the general sense is still just a dream. And we're not remotely close to even knowing how to approach this problem, let alone solve it.
You'll need multivariable calculus and linear algebra as prerequisites.
Personally, I don't think they should which is why I wouldn't work for anyone who tried to enforce this. It would be a massive red flag if an employer brought this up. Also, the companies that manage remote well know this and none of them are implementing invasive monitoring. The ones that try it are a small number of short-sighted old-fashioned shops that feel like they're losing control if an employee is remote and are desperately tring to gain that control back.
Your question is based on 71% being low, which I don't think it's true. It's way way higher than I would expect or predict and certainly higher than what the polls indicate. Have a look at 538's methodology for creating it and also look at Nate Silver's article on how you shouldn't count Trump out yet.
As far as Taleb goes - who cares, the more people ignore him, the better.
So you don't know anything about Instagram but at the same time know for certain that they have legacy infrastructure that keeps them from meeting legal requirements? How about we don't give them a pass just because it requires a bit of work to comply with laws and regulations.
No one moves to a city to pay high rent prices. The higher rent is a tradeoff that you make for certain benefits of living in a big city (which may or may not be worth it for each individual). My point was that when you move to a remote location purely for the lower cost (which people do), you're making another set of tradeoffs that are often ignored.
Another thing to consider is that if you're young and don't have a family yet, moving to a remote location where you'll be completely alone just so you can pay less for rent seems kind of dumb.
Yet another thing - nobody's job is all that secure right now. Even if attitudes towards remote work have changed, a big city is still your best chance of finding work. So if you're laid off in near the future, living in the middle of nowhere will only make things worse.
2. It might be more illustrative if the transposed vectors pass over the matrix one by one. In the default example - you take the [2 6 1] vector and show how its dot products populate the final matrix, then do the same for the [5 7 8] vector. That's closer to the way I think about matrix multiplication.

The premise of the question is that direct messages are somehow different and require a separate application. I don't think that's true. Slack and Teams do an absolutely fine job at 1:1 messages.
> And I am willing to go as low as $15
So if they offered you $14 an hour, you would drop the project? Despite working for $9 so far and having another client at $10? You'd better be able to walk away from this or your leverage is non-existent.
