I'm not precisely sure what you're referring to as "the change" here. The rate of expansion is increasing continuously though, if that's what you're asking.

As far as the measurability of the speed of light, I don't think anything changes in principle. It should remain measurable and constant. However, it gets a lot more complicated in practice, since it's pretty unclear who or what would actually be doing the measuring and how they might go about it.

The speed of light ought to remain constant (for inertial observers). So nothing would be different locally as far as I'm aware.

It's pretty unlikely that this is still the case. The article you link to appears to be citing a 2017 report which itself uses data from FY2015[1]. This means that it doesn't take into account the 2017 federal tax overhaul which, among other things, capped deductions for state and local taxes paid. This means high tax high income states will almost certainly be paying more in federal taxes. Unfortunately, I don't think the data is available to confirm or refute this yet.

I'll take ya up on that. Show me?

> ... The problem is only one side is evaluated.

I'm not sure I agree here. Granted I work for quite a small company, so it's pretty different than working at a company with a significant reputation to help candidates make decisions. But when I interview candidates I'm very aware that they are evaluating me whilst I'm evaluating them.

I actually think this is a good thing. It incentivizes me to make the interview a more pleasant experience, and perform it in such a way that it feels collaborative, like a real work situation, and not as standoffish as some interviews can be. That said, we still do ask hard technical questions solved on whiteboards or in code, and setting them up in such a way that the candidates feel comfortable asking questions on things they don't know / are unclear about is definitely challenging.

To be honest, something I think we (as in the software community at large) lose sight of some times is how unique and challenging performing interviews is. We see stories like this pretty frequently, and we're used to the idea that being interviewed is a fairly distinct skill, orthogonal to what we usually perform in our day to day work life. Something that's talked about a lot less frequently (understandably, more of us are getting interviewed than performing them) is that interviewing others is also a separate skill, and one that really isn't practiced or honed enough in my opinion.

Frankly, I have the 2015 MBP and this still happens to me every once in a while. So a bigger track pad is one of the _many_ reasons I have no intention of "upgrading" any time soon.
