Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and it's feedback like this that has led to many positive changes at Percolate.
If I pin-pointed your interview activity accurately, you might have interviewed in June/July of last year when, admittedly, things were in flux. I joined in late August of 2015, and I've been part of enhancing the candidate experience for all of our candidates and the candidates who make it through our rigorous interviews are delighted by the experience and practically always end up choosing Percolate.
This is an issue we have taken very seriously, and it is continuously improved upon at Percolate.
Hah! The army is the only service not getting one, unless there is a helicopter variant in there somewhere.

There's also Think Bayes (http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-bayes/) which uses python.
I sympathize with you and also dislike long evaluation times. I also have kids and a life outside of work. Personally I think 6 hours is too long to design a work sample around but it's not that bad, I've done work samples (early in my career) that took 3 days and that I would've billed out for $3k when I became a consultant later.

In grayfox's timeline, things really seem to hang up around the time it takes to evaluate the sample, asking for 1-4 weeks. This is another point in favor of minimalist work samples (smaller sample = less time required to review). IMO work samples should be a simple problem where the candidate demonstrates his basic awareness of the core skills needed to perform the daily work and the bulk of the hiring process should occur in a discussion between parties.

Anyway, I'd suggest that they tighten up this process by a) minimizing their work samples and b) making it priority to review work samples as they come in, which means adding more resources for this purpose if necessary. It shouldn't take more than a week to hear back at any step of the process.
> Which is also technically true for C as well. The API is an implementation detail which can vary from compiler to compiler.

The C ABI (API is less relevant there) is really the platform/OS's calling convention, which — aside from Microsoft (and embedded systems I guess, because embedded) — is generally the architecture's calling conventions. Which are usually well documented.

> So long as you're just using LLVM-based compilers for both Rust and your other languages, you should be OK, but don't be surprised if you run into problems.

As long as all the languages involved use the same ABI you're in the clear, that's got nothing to do with LLVM. That's what cgo does on the Go side[0]. And as pcwalton notes in an other comment, in theory you could even have the Rust FFI follow the Go/Plan9 ABI.

[0] at a significant cost for the default toolchain since `gc` doesn't use the platform ABI. I believe the gccgo-based alternative toolchain has no cgo overhead.
It was not. Gavin's discussion makes zero mention of anything to do with OpenSSL. In the account he gave to Wired, it was Electrum all the way.
Too bad they're switching to a messenger that can easily be subverted by governments and doesn't come with E2E encryption by default. Might as well use Hangouts or Skype.

You've got the energy levels and eating relationship reversed. Over the short run, digestion uses a lot of energy and generally does not give super quick results. Especially if you're eating cleaner food (vs giant piles of sugar etc).

The more involved answer involves talking about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems (SNS vs PSNS). The SNS is activated when doing things like going for a run, focusing on a specific problem, fight-or-flight, and other generally short-term "do things or have issues" situations. It does large systematic things that make your body better at overcoming the short-term obstacles in your life.

The PSNS, on the other hand, is responsible for more long-term survival goals. Sleep, digestion, relaxing, general awareness, etc.

Another important fact is that activating one of the circuits tends to deactivate the other. Eating activates the PSNS. Having "high energy" and not feeling tired/lethargic is basically a high SNS activation state.
Brazil Judge orders cell phone carriers to block WhatsApp for 72 hours
I think it will be very hard for Brazil and India to shake being labeled as third world countries, with the amount of citizens below the poverty line, and the poor infrastructure of the areas those citizens inhabit. The United States itself is labeled as a third world country when talking about areas of Detroit for example, and the wealth inequality starting to resemble that of Brazil and India. You might take exception to the term "Third World Country" because it is primarily used pejoratively in public discourse, but I think it is fully warranted, since Brazil, India, and the United States have a lot they can be criticized about. The elite of these countries are not afraid of practicing unbridled greed, unbridled because they removed the bridle through corrupt practices, using their wealth to accumulate power over government. I say all of this as an American.

At sea-tac the other day, I watched them completely close a screening line so that they could perform a shift change. Really? You have to shut down the ENTIRE LINE in order to change out a few people? These people need lessons in efficiency.

If time were money to them, this crap wouldn't happen.
São Paulo alone manages to rival New York City in scale, so it's absurd to call it "third world".

Significant parts of Brazil lag behind in terms of development, but this is true in the US as well.
>Brazil is the seventh world economy, if you count the number of nations in north america and europe, being the seventh world economy is a great deal.

GDP per capita is what matters here. And GDP per capita in Brazil is a joke. I think a country full of poor people can be called a poor country.

Thanks for this; it was completely new to me.
Umm, but the issue is that WhatsApp CAN'T comply with the order, because they do not have access to the communications (because they are using end to end encryption).

I have no idea what you mean by "come up with ways to identify specific people targeted by court orders"... they aren't being asked to identify anyone, they are being asked to hand over unencrypted communication, which they do not have access to.

There really should be a way to disable it.

People are trusting their phones to keep their business and private data safe. It is unacceptable to expose 2 billion devices to extra-privileged vulnerabilities to appease some MPAA executives in their completely ineffectual schemes to control how the world consumes content.
Merriam-Webster defines "testimony" as "something that someone says especially in a court of law while formally promising to tell the truth." The Supreme Court has interpreted this very broadly, to include anything that requires accessing information from the mind. That's why some courts have held that passwords are testimonial. But to read it to include touching your thumb to a fingerprint sensor obliterates any meaning the word has.
Ah okay, this explains a lot! I somehow thought that the initial boot happened on the QPU.
Umm, he obviously does. Money, fame and influence over future bitcoin decisions.

Imagine your Satoshi and you need cash for some reason. Reveal your identity and immediately get a bunch of offers for book deals and speaking engagements. You run into career problems, reveal who you are and you can probably snag a position as a Google fellow.

More concerned about your legacy or some crypto-anarachist vision? Revealing yourself could help you influence both the public policy debate on encryption and bitcoin's future (speaking engagements offer more influence than some signed messages on a mailing list).

Finally, what about credit for your contribution. Being known to your friends and family.

Sure, he may still want to remain anonymous but to suggest there isn't the temptation to go public is silly
In the 90s we used the serial port to send a heartbeat via a daemon into a Resistor / Capacitor combo. If the voltage dropped it fired a relay to press reset on the PC.

Definitive NO to your question. Riches is not money, it is free time to do as you please and spend that time doing whatever you find most valuable, e.g. spending time with family, enjoying friends, doing nothing, being free, not selling your time to an employer for just money, or even worse working overtime for 1.5x rate. Many many many people HATE their work, or even just dislike it. And the idea of 'working hard' becomes a joke. Unless you are doing your own startup or thoroughly committed to a cause then as an employee work is but a means to an end. Absolutely nobody actually loves or is passionate about 'changing the way people communicate', or, 'creating the best employee benefits platform ever', or 'disrupting a transport industry', or whatever the taste of the day is. Apart from the founder, everyone else knows it's just hot air, towing the company line etc. Noone really gives a f. Most people's values lie way outside of 'work' or a general sense of work ambition as you quickly realise that rising though the ranks actually bring you less and less free time and therefore less and less real pleasure. Money becomes a terrible compensation. People in those situations frame seniority or responsibility, and it's corresponding wages, as success, when anyone who uses their brains realises it's the opposite. You don't need much money to live a thoroughly spectacular life. Don't dedicate your life to getting financially rich! Dedicate your time to whatever is most valuable in your life, and quit worrying that you don't have enough money, or the big house or new car... all that means absolutely nothing in comparison to life experiences, relationships, travel, free time, contemplation, and whatever brings you the most pleasure in life. The whole point of money is to spend it and most things don't cost that much. Working hard to eventually become rich is a terrible goal. (If you are highly ambitious and money is your true pleasure then disregard this entire comment!)
I agree, except the problem is that it's sold to the public as defense, not as a jobs program. Part of the sales job is involves having American pilots fly those airplanes into combat.
Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the Boston area too.
But nobody can answer the important question except for themselves.
America's track record is often just as bad. The difference is people don't care and the politicians don't end up in jail.

> GDP per capita is the relevant metric here

Yeah, I was going to make a similar comment. Listing the wealth of nations based on nominal GDP will result in a list that's similar to ordering them by population size.
The 1st world and 3rd world country can often be a strange one. South Korea is technically considered a 3rd world country, even though it has quite a global influence in industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, semiconductors, and steel.

edit: Apologies, looks like I was completely wrong since the source online I looked at incorrectly defined SK as economically undeveloped (I looked further and SK is in the G20, which would clearly make it a developed nation), and I was unaware of the Cold War era designation that commenters have pointed out to me.

I was always confused why SK would be considered a 3rd world country when my own impression from its industrial strength was that it should be a 1st world country, so I'm glad that I've been corrected.
I'm here to defend the judge's ruling, a position very unpopular among all my friends here in Brazil.

Brazilian law regarding regarding privacy of users of internet services is very recent and clear: if a judge order the company to share a specific user data, the company must comply. You can disagree with the law, but the law is there.

Now, the judge ordered Whatsapp to share a particular user conversation (a suspect murderer - edit: drug dealer). But the problem is: Whatsapp have no offices or operations in Brazil. The order was sent to Facebook, who ignore as Whatsapp is another company. So, without any executives in Brazil that could be held responsible for disobeying the law, the judge fine the company. They continue to disobey the order (for months). The judge suspends Whatsapp activity (for 24h a few months ago, but that order was suspended itself after a few hours). Now Whatsapp continue to disobey the judge's order until this day. The judge suspend the company again.

All arguments I hear against the judge is in the line that Whatsapp is "too big to fail". That's not a valid point in my opinion. If they disobey the law, it must have consequences, no matter how big and important to brazilian society they are. If they had operations and executives in Brazil this would never had happened at the first place. They would have lawyers fighting against the decision to share the user data and this would be solved by the justice system (never coming to have its activity suspended).
But Whatsapp simply ignored brazilian justice system as if it was above the law.

It is very unfortunate that it came to this point, but it is not like a judge decided yesterday that Whatsapp should sufer for whatever reason. They got a lot of months of warning for this. And he is acting completely according to the law. For me, all of this is Whatsapp fault.

They can report it all they like. The city (or HOA) will send a letter to the homeowner demanding that they fix it. If the don't fix it in a few years then they'll send a second letter or may go as far as to take a lien out on the property. What doesn't happen is that the window gets fixed.

It feels like you're throwing the baby out with the bath water, and I don't think a good regex library could be classified as "simple." I specifically wrote Go bindings to Rust's regex lib in tandem with the C API to make sure I wasn't baking any assumptions into the C API that would make it difficult for another language to bind to them.

This process was lucrative. My first draft of the C API defined an iterator that held on to a pointer to the text being searched for the lifetime of the iterator. It turns out that this is inconvenient to use from a language like Go (or perhaps, any language with a moving GC) because C holding on to pointers to memory allocated in the host language can be bad juju. Because I did this process in tandem, I was able to correct the issue at the C API level.

As a result, if you need fast regexes in Go, you now have an option, and that option is built on a reasonably mature regex library with thousands of tests and a benchmark harness that sports PCRE1, PCRE2, Tcl, RE2 and Oniguruma, of which, Rust's regex engine compares quite favorably.

Sadly, Glucovation's latest update on their site was from 2014. I did some research recently, and it looks like Nemaura has a device aimed at launching at the end of 2016. Echo Therapeutics and Sano appear to be actively building/testing devices, but there are no firm dates.
Healthy, peaceful and prosperous for who? Is this supposed to be a joke? I guess if it doesn't happen in the west, it doesn't count. Simply disgusting that someone could actually believe this.
I don't think the comparison on their site is fair. The Ettus B200 series uses an Analog Devices chip that has a 640MSPS sampling rate, the Limemicro chip can sample at 61.4MSPS at most. Even if the RF bandwidth is the same, the Limemicro chip will have poorer performance by perhaps an order of magnitude. So I'm not quite sure how it qualifies as next generation, even the 4 year old HackRF has better frequency specs.

That whole blog post was weird. He made various assertions with nothing to back them up, and then walked back one of them. Everything he said could be interpreted as being from public sources (which he believes) plus a personal meeting, sans any strong cryptographic proof, with Wright.

The case law thus far has stated that compelling the decryption of a data storage device really hinges on this: What evidence is known by the prosecution to exist? In several cases, when the defendant makes known that incriminating evidence exists, or when the prosecution is independently aware of the existence of incriminating evidence (they saw the screen before you locked it, and testified that what they saw was evidence of a crime), the defendant was rightfully forced to decrypt the storage device.

However, when the prosecution has no specific knowledge that the evidence they seek exists, US courts have ruled that the defendant cannot be compelled to decrypt the storage device, since doing so would be forcing the defendant to reveal that incriminating evidence actually exists.

Applying your fingerprint to an iPhone is an act that, without argument, decrypts data on an encrypted storage media, as the act of applying your finger to the sensor instructs the device to retrieve the actual cryptographic information necessary (your passcode/passphrase, plus other hardware-specific data) to access the cleartext of the data.

The more and more I think about this, the more confidant I am that a fingerprint, while "something you have", forces you to disclose, by proxy, "something you know" to your phone.

I guess the question then is twofold: If you have a combination safe that may contain incriminatory evidence, and a safety deposit box that contains only the combination to your safe, can the courts compel you to give them the key to the safety deposit box? And if so, should they be able to?

I walked across most of Rome with my second-trimester wife many times on our vacation there a couple of years ago. It's really not that spread out. What cities in Italy are less spread out? Naples, I guess. Any others?

I agree that Rome is not really cheap. But I don't think it's fair to point to Italy as an example of affordable housing driven by higher density when it's not more dense. Especially since density actually seems to correlate well with price. San Francisco is way denser than Rome or Seattle.

I don't really agree that most of Europe has reasonable housing prices. For the most part, in urban areas homes seem to be quite expensive and quite small. I wouldn't call that reasonable in comparison to, say, Austin or even Seattle. Just about anywhere is reasonable compare to San Francisco of course.

I'm not decided on whether it's possible to have good transportation and reasonable housing prices. You have to have a pretty dense population to make public transit cost effective, and to pay for the up-front costs. And density does tend to imply very expensive housing.
I'm not sure I understand what you're pointing out here. How is what possible, the Israel's average wage is $4 more than Russia's?
