If you're Chinese or Russian, ignore my comment. But if you're an American, you need a bit of perspective. Literally most countries on Earth do orders of magnitude of worse stuff on a daily basis than US. And literally no other country has an egalitarian setup where anyone can potentially succeed. The countries that are objectively better than US in terms of human rights for own citizens, are very few (Switzerland, Nordic countries, few others which are either small/or have homogeneous population). I am stunned when I read comments suggesting that US is as bad or Russia or China.

On the subject of using mountaineers as spies, Sidney Wignall's "Spy on the roof of the world" is also interesting.

Sure. I agree with your broader point. But a lot of companies don't have the time or inclination to conduct useful interviews (take home assignments, project deep dives etc). So they simply ask a bunch of leetcode questions and 1-2 system design, "behavioral" questions, and expect you to give perfect answers. Conversely, if you are in a situation where you want a job at these companies, then you do leetcode. As an anecdote, I like solving programming puzzles (advent of code, ICPC problems etc) but couldn't clear FANG without leetcode. I despised leetcode because the puzzles/problems there are uninspiring as compared to ICPC problems. Of course, software engineering has very little to do with any of it :)

If I wasn't stuck in an Asian country, I would pay decent money to live there :(

So, the meteor hits the Trex, and its game over because you need to get back to work?

This is a highly inaccurate comment. Caste lines are more alive than ever especially with the advent of social media.

How easy is it to get a job in eastern European countries? And how does one go about finding jobs if you are outside EU? I have tried a couple of job sites, but haven't received any leads. Appreciate any pointers.

"The policies (at least on the paper) are getting closer and closer to what I can observe here in Europe." Can you give a few examples of such policies?

Yeah, right. These reports are so useful. If they are in your favor, cite them as a success. If not, they are "biased".

Yeah, its convenient, but even more convenient is the mindset of ignoring existing evidence and bending over backwards for the pleasure of profiting off cheap manufacturing.

The standard of evidence for a country with free press cannot and should not be compared to the standard of evidence for a country with no press freedom. China controls flow of information so tightly, that even rumours should be considered credible unless proven otherwise.

How did he pump the stock? He only posted his gains and losses over a period of several months.

That is fine, if it is done before the play begins. What's happening here is being kicked out of the game when you're winning.

Absolutely yes. If you can't provide a free service, then do not advertise it as a free service.

The answer depends on the country in which you plan to hold that sign ;)

The type of problems you are referencing is less than 10% of all problems ever posted in AoC.

No. At best, they may skip a phone interview.
