Absolutely. It's from the time when families used to share a single phone! That they glued to the wall!!
The case studies, historical events, and intellectual movements discussed in the book all receive superficial treatment, and in general the content does not work in service of the argumentation.
That's how academics say "this book is racist horseshit"
Haha, that's the attitude :)
I did say, in a nice way, that "they are your competitors either way".
And yeah, companies treating interviews as a one-way evaluation is a red flag.
There was this book that was hype around 2010, called "Are you smart enough to work at Google?". It was full of interview questions and brainteasers that I strongly suspected I'd find interesting, but I couldn't get over the title. I wanted to scream "Fuck you, book! Is Google smart enough to hire ME?!"
We are, as a profession, systematically manipulated via these interview processes to feel stupid and inferior to drive down wages. I'd rather come off as slightly too arrogant now and then, rather than submit to that.
Real conversation, not exaggerated. Actually slightly toned down:
"We offer a competitive salary! It's $number!"
"I have 2 offers 10% higher, from a shipping company and a finance company, in the same city"
"We don't compete with the finance and shipping sectors"
"And 15% higher in one of the consultancies"
"We don't compete with consultancies either"
(I think I'm going to put Reigninh Monarch of Norway on my CV. I just don't compete with King Harald.)

If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that's genuinely the most "winning" you can possibly achieve.
Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.
People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.
But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.
Something in-game scriptable, so I could mould it for variety. Space Engineers maybe?
Keeping predatory grifters away from health discourse is on a different level than discussions of differing opinions.

Not fractions, but a series yes. It's an obfuscation of a famous unsolvable problem in math.
