When the product succeeds and you get offers to exit, would you sell to the uber-wealthy? They will exploit your user's data and collect the gains.

Those are the questions you should be honestly asking yourself when considering your own ethics. What's your price?

Exactly. Same goes for other common allergies options like legumes, seafood, and gluten. That's why you provide options.

Contextualized one way, milk is a meal replacement or nutrition supplement, and one that is more practical than most other options. A serving of whole milk requires zero on-site prep time, is relatively portable once packaged, and perhaps more importantly, it is often the most palatable option for picky eaters. Public health is complicated.

Finally, realize that your candidates (just like your Eng org) spend much more time prepping for your interview than you quantify on paper. However much they choose to is up to them, but don't pretend you're doing them a favor.

Here is basically how it goes:

- Phone screening

- Take home assignment

- "Resume” interview

- Technical interview

- Product interview

- Interview with another team

- Finalizing the hire

This might seem that there are a lot of steps… and maybe it’s true. However we feel that it’s good for both parties if they get a good look at what working together would be like.

Are you kidding me? That is more time spent interviewing with you than the legal French work week. Who has time for that? I don't know about Paris, most candidates would laugh in the face of your recruiter. Those that don't are push-overs with nothing better to do.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes and imagine going through 7 days of 1-4hr interviews, concurrently, with a half dozen other companies at the same time. What makes your company so elite? Prove it.

Some some respect.

It has its dark parts along with strong facets of common cyberpunk themes: drastic social stratification, the social acceptance of regular drug usage, urban decay meets technocratic renewal, a renewed definition of suburbia, and a greater acceptance of non-binary genders.

> How do you define "scalable", how do you measure it? How can you have some intuition about a design before we spend 3 months and many sprints building it first?

> How do I know when to cache stuff? Does it matter if I have calls to a remote cache in a tight loop? Should I be using an in-process, out-of-process, or remote cache for a particular piece of data?

You're proving the above poster's exact point. You are putting your weight in applied questions that rest upon the developer's specific experience. This method is the opposite of evaluating people for their ability to memorize a half dozen algorithms and data structures.

In my experience interviewing candidates, asking people to implement a caching algorithm is a distraction to both parties. A much better evaluation is their ability to provide box-arrow diagram and talk it through. This is much more effective towards understanding their thought processes and knowledge. It is also much, much closer to the _real_ day to day of a today's engineer: communication, advocacy, and breadth of knowledge. Code is cheap. Business should screen employees for an interest.

CS textbook questions introduce enormous amounts of bias, especially in panel interviews. It is a dangerous trap that companies use to further entrench their team cliquiness and departmental monoculture. It is ripe for Simple Sabotage. Simply put, its lazy.

But you can test a candidate with imaginary non-workloads?

While most of us are probably comfortable enough running make/grunt/gulp/etc, that comfort typically stops there. Knowing how to set up and manage your own systems will both make you more useful on your team and visible in the org. This is especially true for junior front-end folks.

Downstream destruction is of concern because that entire region depends on flood control. The habitability and agricultural production of the corridor between Oroville and Sacramento relies upon, and was created by, the flood control of Plumas, Yolo, Butte, etc counties. There are a number of canals, diversions, and reservoirs both above and below the Oroville to further control flow the dam as it reaches our rivers. However, most of the re-routing is also man-made and thus untested for such an event.
