Right, if it’s a case interview, then higher accuracy ought to prompt the interviewee to ask:
(1) Do the 200 cuts typically occur in clusters?
(2) What’s the typical density, eg are they usually collocated? (as an alternative to the above)
(3) Are there pathways that avoid the sea but connect Europe and North America (getting at density in the sea in question)
Etc.
That’s what makes this one so good—lots of opportunities to extend or roll-back difficulty.
I was surprised to see so many upvotes this morning and was disappointed when I realized it wasn't for another comment I made about the Anthropic Principle.
My take is that in face of coincidences supporting the emergence of intelligent life, we should expect to observe coincidences unnecessary for the emergence of life too.
An analogy: imagine you have lost the key to your mansion and try to cut one at random out of a metal sheet. If it can unlock the door, then chances are that you cut unnecessary notches (the analogy only holds for warded locks and the key you crafted is a master key).
No, because anchors can easily damage several cables close to each other. And that is how it almost certainly happened no matter if it was an accident or sabotage.
What are the chances that they break in close proximity spacially, but not temporarily? (I'm assuming that it would be headline material if the lines had disconnected within minutes)
Tangent: an attacker trying hard to provoke that kind of accident would likely not have a very fast success feedback. "Let's try once more, for good measure"
Still pretty decent, given the right circumstances.
For example, the 2011 earthquake in Japan resulted in damage to 7 cables[0]. But it wasn't the quake itself which instantly broke all 7 cables - they were destroyed by underwater avalanches triggered by the earthquake. Avalanches can occur hours after a seismic event, and some underwater avalanches go on for days.
I highly doubt that's the case here, but if you're asking about chances it's not as unlikely as you'd think!
You're right, that was not kind. Apologies. It was late at night and I'd read too many depressing news (and many even more depressing, warmongering comments). Not an excuse, just a human factor.
What I should have said:
By clever GP most probably meant funny (with a hint of self-deprecation) rather than smart (or even correct).
They did, the translator communicates to the prisoners in English, and they pass along in Japanese to the guards. The article says they asked the translator.
How competative was the isp market in Utah before Google fiber subsidized the massive build-out?
Google threw in the towel on wiring more new cities about mid-way through the SLC build, which makes need think perhaps the biggest obstacle to your thesis bearing fruit, is upfront infrastructure investments…
Google all but abandoned Utah, as soon as we got municipal fiber in most cities (Utopia). Utopia was built out by government issued bonds and shares 0 physical infrastructure with Google. Google refused to participate in the program, because they didn’t like the idea of dark fiber where anyone could “choose a provider”.
Google wanted a monopoly.
The nice thing is that they can properly screw off, because now we have dozens of better options where I’m supporting the little guy instead of Silicon Valley Big Tech.
Deepest condolences on your loss, and thank you for your candor—I can only speak for myself, but I’m definitely turning up my driving conservatism after reading your post.
The rc gliders are loaded chock-full with weight (tungsten or lead), we literally seek cover behind cars and boulders, and the bravest among us holds the radar speed gun—-if you want to see something outside of this world, or spark your kids’ imaginations as to the universe unlocked by the sciences—visit a DS site!
P.S. bring ski goggles—you’ll need them if the conditions are good, you won’t see without them if it’s a 400mph day—which is more and more common these days!
1) Clear your evening.
2) Do not Google, but rather jump straight to your favorite media platform, and locate a 2012 film named: “searching for sugar man.”
3) Watch alone because it’s impossible to watch without crying tears of joy
Who was calling customer service to begin with? I’m not a user, but I suspect there’s more margin with customers who are large enough to have a firm or internal team handle Shopify for them, and that’s not the type of person (one would hope) that would call customer service unless there was an account-level issue. If that’s the case, then they are simply evolving away from the mom-and-pop priority that made it so popular to begin with :(
Ha! I started on flight sim, made it to rc planes, and the first day of flight instruction, I told the instructor and he said: “if you can fly rc, you can fly full scale.” All I had to master was emergency procedures and some theory on the throttle vs pitch and I was off to the skies!
