(This is for Groupon employees, but I’m posting it publicly since it will leak anyway)

People of Groupon,

After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I’ve decided that I’d like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding – I was fired today. If you’re wondering why… you haven’t been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that’s hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable.

Retrieval of an arbitrary item from a linked list is O(n). Arbitrary means any of the elements are eligible for selection, without loss of generality.

However, retrieval of a specific item from a linked list has nothing to do with how many items are in the list. It is therefore O(1). Retrieving the 50th item from a linked list takes the same amount of time, no matter whether the list has 50 elements, 50M elements, or 50^50! elements.
