What do programmers actually do? Try testing that!
Once you get basic programming skill out of the way (which you seem to have done well), then in my experience it's more important to figure out if the programmer can self-manage. Are they going to get things done on time? Are they going to come at you with a bunch of excuses, or figure out a solution? Are they going to spend all their time surfing the net, like a kid? Most importantly, are they able to get things done, or do they need me to watch over them to ensure progress?
An excellent use of rhetoric: comparing him to a child rapist has a huge emotional impact. It's notable that you didn't actually make a point. Your post is all rhetoric, and omits any rational point. Nicely done.
If he actually learns from this and changes, then he will be an example of an incredibly good CEO. How many of us don't have interpersonal flaws? Someone who notices problems and improves is rare indeed.
The video shows off Kalanick's pugnacious personality and short temper, which may cause some investors to question whether he has the disposition to lead a $69 billion company with a footprint that spans the globe.
"Pleasant temperament" doesn't seem to be a requirement for being CEO.
Doing cloud based applications right is neither as inexpensive or as simple as a lot of people were led to believe/preached.
I just think of it as a normal data center, except you don't have to drive down there to install a new box or figure out what's wrong.
So AWS is just more convenient, that's all. Still requires basically the same expertise as a datacenter, minus wiring.
I've done the latter -- mirrored my data between regions, so the us-east-1 outage took a single parameter change and service restart to point my app to the us-west region (it could be done automatically, but full-region outages like this are so rare, I haven't bothered)
This is important: if you need HA, you should mirror across regions. Because regions go down, and this is not the first time. They will continue to go down in the future. Amazon.com is still up because they know that this is a problem, and they prepared for it.
It might also be noted that the the talk of global cooling largely came when the temperature was trending downward, whereas the talk of global warming started when the temperatures were trending upwards. If the temperature again trends downward for whatever reason, you will start seeing scientists predict cooling (and indeed, we already do often when there's a cold snap or a lot of snow, although it's usually blamed on global warming).
If you're actually asking, I had a textbook from the 50s that was quite certain on the idea of the ice age coming. Now, it wasn't talking about an ice age in the next 30 years or being alarmist about it. It was just aware that another ice age that would probably happen. And actually, I don't think scientists today even disagree with that. It's coming, but there's no reason to believe it will be a problem in our lifetimes.
By the 1970s though, scientists were already starting to worry about global warming (so any surveys that only go back to the 70s are misleading). By 1980 they were expending significant resources on figuring out if it would be a problem or not.

If you're an expert pianist, you ought to be able to reproduce a simple tune on the piano, by ear and blindfolded.
You'd be surprised how many very, very good pianists can't do this, because they've spent all their lives reading music instead of listening.

Freefont made a mistake, in that case selection sort or insertion sort would still be O(n^2), but would have a smaller constant value.
I kind of thought that this was fixed back in 2002. Even this new fix looks like a regression from back then.

Yeah, given that I never interact with this man, it makes no difference whether he changes or not. Maybe the board will get rid of him. Yawn.
The Cuban missile crisis was not Kennedy's best work.
What was, then?

You can mirror S3 across regions, just FYI. It's a bit more expensive though, of course.
Paypal is the dark side of Elon Musk.
Google's cheaper than AWS until you're dealing with serious scale.
Has Google started running their own websites on their cloud yet?

Yeah, that's why AWS doesn't do it for you automatically.
You gotta test it.

Who would you you use? Serious question. Between AWS, Google, and Azure, AWS still seems better to me.
Hey neckbeard, stfu. No one cares what you think.
I do.

Around 50 million people have tried it and we aren't hearing any complaints from them.
Heard plenty of complaints.
Under the Trump administration that purchase would have likely been approved
Would it? I mean, do you have reasoning to support that? I genuinely can't tell what Trump is going to do.
as well as memories of events (not just facts)
IMO figuring out how memory works is the primary difficulty facing strong AI researchers today.

Yeah, that's a good example.
You would have to teach it the rules, but the same algorithm would largely work.
That's not very good mathematical analysis, but it's a good intuitive explanation.
