curious whether "always free" is only marketing or actually has some legal implications

I am not sure what your comment is getting at. Bullying is only American?

2:50m/km. most people couldn't sustain that pace for even 2 minutes. id go as far as saying most people couldn't close their eyes and imagine consistently how fast that is.

Related, if you haven't seen the TV show Chernobyl, I could not recommend it highly enough!

Half of these are not about software engineering and just general management principles.

If you had only bothered to open the link and understand what it even being said.

Did you read the link? A NO bet on Joe Dart is a YES bet on Cory Wong + Others.

It is trivial. Saying NO to a candidate means you're saying YES to ALL other candidates with varying probabilities that would sum to the neg risk of that NO bet.

Ask HN: LeetCode, anyone still doing it?

Few years ago leetcode was all the range with an entire cottage industry around it for acing tech interviews. I feel like now with the advent of AI it has completely gone away. I haven't done a technical interview in a long while but not even sure if it's still the dominant screening tool.

Betting "no" on an outcome, is bettering "yes" on ALL other possible outcomes. There is even an operation for it: https://docs.polymarket.com/advanced/neg-risk
