I thought they were the Africanized ones? Those were the ones I read about as a kid in my school library, and the way they depicted their projected spread across the USA made it look like a pestilence worthy of Revelation. I honestly thought I wasn't going to live to become an adult because we'd all be over taken by super aggressive bees.

It is, but some interviewers can be intentionally vague.

If I were the interviewer, this question would almost make me dock points off of the interviewee

Why? Knowing that can be a useful filter to reduce the search time and space, assuming whole numbers only.

And how much time did you spend updating your new information with the government, your banks, your work, and other services that you interact with?

As someone going through a Master's in CS to get into ML, this makes me a little sad..

(though I do understand what you're getting at)

Does $72K go far in Sweden? I would assume not due to taxes...? I'm in a position of ignorance so I'm just looking to get a better idea of what it's like there :)

My last job in finance(still am in finance fwiw) used much more VBA to price out billion-dollar swaps and swaptions than I was comfortable admitting to...

Reading this thread, with all the Javascript talk, makes me feel like I should be scared of continuing to be a C# developer..

I ran into a similar issue myself. Why would PayPal, of all companies, have a problem with this?

I wish I could say I found them remotely, but alas these were literally friend-of-a-friend type deals.

More details: One of them was a bakery that was taking all its orders on paper, so I developed a simple but powerful system for them to track their orders in a database, and other was a small investment shop(read: a pair of people managing a millionaire's money) who were looking for a way to track trades and get on with the important stuff rather than waste two hours a day updating an Excel spreadsheet. My biggest problem I haven't been able to leverage these jobs into continuous passive income.

I have; it can be tough especially if the client is a demanding one. For me it was more like 10-15 hrs/week, but sometimes it'd easily be 30 hours if things were broken or some new deliverable came up. Luckily my wife had her own thing going on with her Ph.D at the time so she was super supportive and understanding... it also helped that the work covered half the cost of a new car we needed part way through the project.

Public health - would you willing ingest fish or other foods if you new how badly it was tainted?

> While there's a lot of plastic in the ocean it's relatively thinly distributed. It's not like there's a bunch of bottles floating in one place. It's a bunch of plastic dust in the water column.

But it's distributed over a very large area, and affects sea-life. Guess what that means for people who consume fish?

My Honda CR-V will periodically beep with "NO KEY" lighting on up on the dashboard(say I give my wife the key to get inside our home on a crappy day while I go park the car elsewhere), but doesn't make impose any restrictions on using the car while it's on, regardless of your current speed or gear. Once you shut the car off though, that's it.

1). Marrying my wife

2). Sticking it out in CS undergrad when I was having a hard time with the material instead of dropping out

3). Leaving shitty jobs(though I could've left sooner at each instance) for greener pastures

4). Instead of resorting to drugs or alcohol to deal with bad times and loneliness in my life, turning to running instead and running the Marathon des Sables(and unrelatedly but subsequently finishing my pilot's license) which made me believe in myself

Same here! I even saved my password in KeePass only to find I still can't login!

Nope; happened in Boston and NYC. They have signs up at each one specifically saying they want a signed credit card.

> America is so stuck in legacy tech. Nobody checks signatures.

The USPS sadly still forces credit card users to have signatures on the back. They don't check signatures against the PIN pad / signed receipts, but the clerk will either yell at you or refuse the transaction if you have "Ask For Drivers License" on the back of the card. This has happened to me on more than one occasion.
