That looks really cool! I hope they finish it.


Sue for a threat to expose? On what grounds?


Nothing is "free market" about a current system.

• You're forced to buy health insurance.

• You can't choose any doctor you like one you have the insurance.

• You can't shop around for the best price, because the prices are not shown.

• You're not given an estimate of how much a procedure would cost.

• You can't choose which doctors visit your hospital room (and every time they do, you pay for it).

Ok, the one reconstructed by Remini is outright scary - they're not even the same persons anymore :O


Except National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated Dino carseats with 2 stars for ease of use. Which means you're more likely to injure a child when using the seat.


I call BS. Bitcoin's trading volume has been between $20 and $50 billion USD per day (in the last year).

Tether's total valuation is $19.4 billion. It's a drop in the bucket.


Bitcoin is traded, even is we forget for a moment about wash trading. In each transaction we generate only a small margin, which adds to the value of traded assets. Only 2-5 billion dollars of bitcoins were from mining in 2020. Tethers are printed out of thin air and sold fully, from 0$ to 1$ (in equivalent), margin is 100%. So 15 billion of new tethers printed this summer had much more influence on the market than even greater amount of Bitcoin trades.


Then explain, by your own quote:

> Research by John M. Griffin and Amin Shams in 2018 suggests that trading associated with increases in the amount of tether and associated trading at the Bitfinex exchange account for about half of the price increase in bitcoin in late 2017.[29][11][23]

In the past, ethereum was also highly automated trading.

As someone who interviewed ~60 people for senior JS and LAMP positions, good luck with these questions. When I was assigned to do interviews, I assembled a somewhat similar list of questions, but we quickly learned that we will never hire anybody like that. I'm sure there are unicorns out there capable of acing these questions without the internet, but they all work for googles of the world.


I am actually surprised that I managed to answer most of these questions. And I am not an IT professional. I am just a programming hobbyist who also needs automation/scripting at my job. And Python is usually the best choice.

Now, these questions are meant for senior Python developers. How do you define a senior Python developer? I would say: Experience and a deep understanding of the language is what defines a senior Python developer.

But honestly, I think labels like "Python developer" or "Java developer" are not helpful. Good programmers can work with any sane language and they know about principles that work across many languages. Like you (and others in this discussion) I agree that the interviewer should rather look for thinking and engineering skills instead of some language details that are irrelevant in nearly all software projects.

The best code is simple code. Don't try fancy stuff unless it is really needed.
