Not just cutting the cost, but charging you extra for selling you a separate charger.

BRICS is not an alliance or anything, it's just a grouping of countries with (very roughly) similar development status.

Where are the bridges? How do you walk from one side to the other?

Oh yeah, right, of course. But how do you even drive from one side to the other?

It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can't be the only test, but it's very useful as the first one.

I think they meant 3/7/21 instead of the standard 3/5/15.

Um ... Tankies and Nazis often disagree with each other. Are they both doing something right?

A Windows version becomes considered "good" the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

Also state capitalism, the economic system of the USSR.

No Niles?

I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I'll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don't have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.

On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

There's a great test for programmers called FizzBuzz. It's an extremely easy task - print some numbers (maybe 1 to 100), but replace them with Fizz if they're divisible by 3, by Buzz if they're divisible by 5, or by FizzBuzz if they're both.

Many reasonable people consider it way too easy - if you can write this, it doesn't mean that you can write complex programs, or that you know the applicable languages, or that you know anything about the business domain.

But interviewers know that it's a great test because a lot of so-called programmers still fail it.

Everyone will call you a market socialist because that’s what you want.

Yes.

And despite all your railing against anything resembling a free market, I still don't see any downsides of that.
