I find it odd how Americans try to convince themselves there are a lot of ways to be high class. A doctor might have slightly better standing than a plumber but ask yourself this, who would be served first in a restaurant, the doctor, the plumber, or the millionaire who just drove in on a Ferrari with a model on each arm?
Millionaire in a Ferrari with a model on each arm to me indicates foreign oligarch or guy who somehow got rich recently, probably through a scam or something. Frankly my radar more picks up relaxed, civically active people with immaculately maintained 30 year old European cars who keep mentioning swimming and boating.
> There are more American millionaires than you imagine.
Mainly because the word means less-and-less wealth over time, due to inflation. The millionaires of 1959 were easily 6 times wealthier than the millionaires of 2019.
Whoops, I think I intended to write ~1969 to get it to 50 years (and was using a different estimator) but regardless of exact measure, the trend is clear: "Millionaire" has been undergoing continual debasement ever since it was coined around the 1820s, and means objectively different things within different generations.
Given that the Waltons family is worth more than the bottom billion people on the planet and their main achievement was being born from the right vagina, yes exploitation exists.
Now the question for that billion is, are the Waltons worth eating? Which I suppose depends on how badly the crops have failed that year.
It isn’t. In this environment the bugging is terrible though. You can’t just insert the cursor, instead you have to sequentially delete your good code to get back to your error.
>For context, for my first job as a developer the take home assignment I got was creating a web app that logged realtime CPU usage and created a graph of that CPU usage that was updated in real time.
That's at worst a 4 hour job to do with a beer over the weekend. You sound incredibly incompetent if you can't tell the difference in difficulty between that and that they asked OP to do.
That assignment is 1/128th the work of point 1) from OP.
You download a list of every street address in San Francisco, pick two at random, and write one line of code to get Google Maps to tell you how long it takes to drive between them. Where exactly is the complexity?
Op missed the part where they need to batch run their solution 200 times over and pick the quickest root. Like always ignorance begets confidence. That's not even talking about part 2 which you need to completely refactor the solution from the previous problem.
You sound like the type of engineer I get hired to replace at three times the rate when the project is on fire because they didn't understand the spec.
The hyper volumes between vertices can have single weights. Say you have a pump that is contaminated with cholera. You can either model the pump as a node on the graph with every person drinking from it being connected by an edge, allow an arbitrary number of edges between any two nodes, or allow for a relationship that can connect an arbitrary number of nodes.
I built a rather sophisticated simplex based trade analyser for one of my contracts for a broker trader. From what I've heard it's given them an edge since no one even knows about it. It's been three years so my NDA and non-compete are finished. I might get around to writing it up if I don't get hired to do another one.
With hypervolumes you mean all the (n-1)-dimensional 'faces' (n > 1) formed by a vertex and its neighbours in an n-dimensional simplex or a mesh of those? To assign unique weights to all interactions between a vertex and up to n-1 of its neighbours, I assume.
Maybe you mean something like a simplicial complex? I don't understand how you can do very much with a single simplex (which is a generalization of a triangle and a tetrahedron in the language I'm used to).
