I've recently switched into doing "fit interviews", partially because it started to feel repetitive after 5 years (estimated 700-1000 candidates) of doing technical interviews.

For us fit interviews make sense enough that we started doing them for every candidate, instead of just for ones that passed the technical parts, and I'll try to explain ... Maybe you can see something that could be useful for you.

There's ~1000 people in our IT (and we are hiring - poke me if your interested), 50+ different nationalities, 95% of us are expats, we mostly do Perl code on BackEnd, expect everyone to have good commercial awareness (put ideas on backlog, push back on ProductOwner ...etc) and overall try to have the least bureaucracy/processes as possible.

You can write code, push and roll it out into production within 30ish minutes - with no stamp/approval required (though on call sysadmin will ask you why are you doing it at 6am on a Sunday).

IMHO quite an interesting setup for being majority part of publicly traded group (Nasdaq: PCLN).

Most often you're not interviewed by people you'll work with (interviewers are not from same team).

Fit interviewers focus/check commercial sense/awareness, motivation, flexibility regarding approaching things like tools and technology (we don't introduce new technology unless you can make a good commercial argument for it), follow up on anything raised by recruiters and technical interviewers, and also answer candidates questions.

Indeed most of reasons we would not hire someone are noticed in other parts of interview as well. Besides being the ones who answer the most questions to candidates (besides recruitment) - fit interviews tend to be helpful for cases where everyone else is on the fence.

If someone aced the tech parts - it's extremely rare fit interview is so bad we don't make an offer.

BTW - everything mentioned is my personal interpretation ...

If anyone has specific questions I'll try to answer them.

In games, AI is not my area. But, what I've seen is that games try to avoid training-based AI because it is difficult to get predictable, controllable results. Training an neural/genetic/whatever system is great until a designer asks you to code in a few exceptional situations and a few extra guarantees. However, there is apparently some movement into that area going on.

Here's a recent vid about game AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jse_ZleruJU&t=11m44s It talks about the progression from FSMs, to Behavior Trees, to Utility AI, into Neural Nets and eventually Neural Evolution.
Maybe they can use some of this money to find the negative review I just posted. After many successful airbnb experiences my wife and I recently had a bad one. I wondered why the host had all great reviews. Then I found out why. Although my negative review shows up on my personal page it does not show up on the host's page or the house's. Even after waiting several days. Maybe this was a fluke but it appears Airbnb is suppressing negative reviews. Anyone else experience this?
The money being invested by new investors is being exchanged for shares of the company. Rather than creating new shares, at least some of these shares are likely coming from existing investors who bought them at a lower price at an earlier time.
I agree, it's unappealing.

This is a very nice exposition of the strategy, but I still don't see how it answers my more specific question, about whether you can solve the problem row by row (is the grid).

XML namespaces are pretty simple: they're just really long names with two parts: a long prefix and a small name plus a convenient notation to shorten the long prefixes. Otherwise the pool of names is flat and the names are globally unique. I think it's good.

The explanation is complicated. XML has no namespaces, the real namespace of XML is flat and all names are globally unique. The things they call namespaces are long prefixes that can be shortened; also, one prefix can be made default at any point in the tree. By default the prefix is empty.

Is it? I've never been able to find a 'how to' or tutorial on starting a hidden service, but even with limited skills I could set up a domain and server in my lunch hour.
Did you try looking at the page from a network that you haven't viewed the site from while logged in? (I'm making some assumptions here about how you access the service.) They might not show your review to you while you're logged in or if they detect the network you posted it from. Not sure what the exact motivation would be behind that but it's something to try if you haven't already.
And you'd have to reset your clock, and preset stations. Also the fuel trims the ECU is using would be wiped out.

I don't think I could have grown as much in a field I wasn't passionate about. If you want to become great at your job, you need to love it. And if you want a well-paid job, you better be great at it.

I found Google App Engine difficult to work with as recently as two years ago, just for a small proof-of-concept app. It took a lot of shoehorning to use third party Python libraries, the file upload API is just weird, and the admin panel was buggy.

Also, another random oddity: somewhere in one of its built in libraries there was a function for validating email addresses. It was returning true on a bunch of very obviously bad address formats, so I looked up the source and found that all the function did was verify its argument wasn't the empty string.

I imagine GAE is better now, but my first experience with it left a bad taste in my mouth.

All modern cars have individual coil packs. The way to do it is to intercept the signal to the starter or to the fuel pumps. Both are accessible from the cabin.

Older japanese cars are stolen due to the import tuner scene. The older hondas and nissans are easy to steal and sell in parts. A honda B18C engine still costs around $1000. This one is found in third generation acuda integras (gsr model). Even newer ones like the Honda s2000 get stolen for interior parts (seats and gauge cluster).
Obviously you do need to drive in other areas, particularly to get different weather conditions. However, even driving in the same area different incidents are encountered everyday - it is not a waste of training.

I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in, but AFAIU, each player acts as the manager of a certain set of services, and as an attacker against all the others.

Such services contain bugs, so what each player must do is identify the bugs, fix them or mitigate them, and at the same time exploit them to gain access to the boxes of the other players.

So basically the programs in the competition do

* vulnerability identification

* vulnerability mitigation

* identification of the best target to attack (presumably based on the first thing, not sure if other things factor in)

Previous war was between Ukrainian People Republic and fake Kharkiv People Republic createded by Russia.

OUN/UPA does not collaborate with Nazi after declaring of independence of Ukraine in Lviv in September 1941. More than 600 of OUN members were executed in Babi Yar by Germans. Leader of OUN, Stepan Bandera was German prisoner until end of war. See Nuremberg documents for more details. Just warning: it is officially prohibited to review results of Nuremberg process.

Quote from Wikipedia: A captured German document of November 25, 1941 (Nuremberg Trial O14-USSR) ordered: "It has been ascertained that the Bandera Movement is preparing a revolt in the Reichskommissariat which has as its ultimate aim the establishment of an independent Ukraine. All functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated..."[43]

Yep, main target of OUN was to free Ukraine from Polish colonists and stop Polonization of Ukrainians (AKA Pacification). However, Volynia massacre was response to German operation against Ukrainian partisans with help of local Polish military police formed from Polish colonists at territory of Ukraine. OUN/UPA were not involved as organizations, only their members. Official documents of OUN/UPA stated that they wanted to keep peace with Polish people at that time because of greater threat from Germany and USSR.

I'd say Google at least wants self driving car legislation, and could later go as far as saying they might need it too. (...where "might need" > want >>> like).

The company has very closely aligned its image with this technology, and indeed I'd say it currently is one of those moonshots that they are betting heavily on. Which of course factors into markets gauging their P/E where it currently sits.

It's ridiculous to blame agile for "delivering shit" (I'm not a huge agile fan neither) - after all it always comes down to the people involved not the methodology/process applied.

I have to admit that I am guilty of swelling the numbers of tourists, and I enjoy seeing different cultures in real life. But I can understand that in cities like Barcelona and Berlin the situation has gone over the top.

The solution could be simple - tax tourism related businesses more. Tax plane tickets, AirBnb hosts, hotels, restaurants, car rentals, etc, but use something like congestion pricing. If the tourist is housed in an area that benefits from tourism, tax it less, or even sponsor a small part of the price from the taxes collected elsewhere. That is for the short term shaping of trends.

For the long term, the problem will fix itself. When prized local culture doesn't live up to par, then tourism will decline in that region.

But there is also an opposing viewpoint - tourists or locals, we are all people, living together in this small boat we call Earth. Worrying too much about keeping cultures separated could be seen as a form of conservatism and nationalism.

> at least some of this money will be used to pay off initial investors

This is almost certainly NOT happening.

No sane company sells prefs with 1x liquidation preferences to pay back investors at, relatively speaking, 0.05x. When companies want to help early investors out they facilitate a secondary transaction. These $850MM are, in all likelihood, going straight to the balance sheet.
The "marketplace of ideas" meme (along with many of what Americans consider to be First Amendment Free Speech protections) came into jurispridence in a 1919 dissent by Oliver Wendell Holmes in Abrams v. United States in which Holmes defended free speech rights based on the "marketplace of ideas" concept proposed by among others John Stuart Mill. Who was distinctly tardy to the Founding Fathers table.

There's a brief article on the particulars here:

I'd recommend the book "The Truth About Burnout" [0]. It talks about 6 sources of burnout: work overload, lack of control, insufficient reward, breakdown of community, absence of fairness and conflicting values.

For a long time I had burnout (or only a beginning). After a while, I suspected I might be burned out and it might be because of hard work, I work part-time and go to school too. It don't think it helped now that summer has come and I don't go to school, so I read the book. I think it's because lack of control, absence of fairness, conflicting values and insufficient reward. Note that it doesn't have to be true, it's enough for you to feel unpaid, that you don't have control, etc.

What's the problem with dynamic dns provider domains?
Pity they don't use it for npm, which cannot create a local search index because of this: it tries to load a large JSON file into memory and fails. I never was able to do this on my VM despite trying to give it more memory (up to 2 GB, at which point I gave up).
I don't think average user cares as much about uniform UX experience as they would from just being able to use the app. Example: Pokemon GO uses totally it's own UX on iOS and Android and that does not seem to harm it's popularity.

I would claim 'nice ux' is something that would not drive market adoption nearly as much as other factors (value, usability in general, etc).
>peacefully asserting Ukrainian nationalism

that euphemism reminded about another one - "train of friendship", a train or a convoy of buses loaded with skinheads from ultra-nationalist para-military organizations like "Right Sector", mostly from Western Ukraine, and bound for villages/cities with significant ethnic Russian share of population.

One can see how the "train of friendship" is trying to keep alive traditions of those pastoral peaceful Western Ukrainian peasants with their floral crowns and national dresses:

"According to Polish historian Piotr Łossowski, the method used in most of the attacks was the same. At first, local Poles were assured that nothing would happen to them. Then, at dawn, a village was surrounded by armed members of UPA, behind whom were peasants with axes, hammers, knives, and saws. All the Poles encountered were murdered; sometimes they were herded into one spot, to make it easier. After a massacre, all goods were looted, including clothes, grain, and furniture. The final part of an attack was setting fire to the village.[106] In many cases, victims were tortured and their bodies mutilated. All vestiges of Polish existence eradicated with even abandoned Polish settlements burned to the ground.[56]"

Potato Announces Support for Django 1.10 in Djangae
I've been hearing these NIMBY complaints for a while from SF Hacker News commenters and didn't really pay attention as I live in the suburbs of DC.

Sure enough, I noticed a sign from a concerned citizens group at Starbucks the other day. Basically rallying up the troops to oppose a new 5 story apartment is a very residential wealthy area.

Thinking about for a minute, I started to get pretty damn angry:
1. The average house in this neighborhood is well over $500k.
2. The prices have probably tripled since the mid 90's.
3. The vast majority of homeowners are aged 50+ with nice gov, military, and private sector pensions.

Meanwhile, those of us aged 35 and below are either living with roommates or spending about 2/3 of our take home pay on rent. Buying a house in the area is out of reach for everyone except a few couples with high dual incomes.

Part of me wants to start going to these meetings to let these older folks know that these type of restrictions are really damaging to the generations behind them. I doubt they'd care much, though.

Not sure. The lesson for others that was being promoted by his behaviour was certainly bad: "That you do not need to work hard, you only need to be gifted and smart and you can go by." Now, it's not really his fault that he is not being challenged, so the school messed up, at least partly, here. They fixed the problem for the other students, but not for him. I think the point made in another comment, that he should have been made to attend classes, but given actual challenging work that matched his abilities, is correct.

At school I was probably similar, and thinking back basically an awful child, for much of the same reasons. But at least in some of my classes (maths, for example) they recognised that just following the standard course at the same pace as everyone else was a waste of my time, and allowed me to work on the course material for the next years classes, which was at least a little more interesting, and some kind of extra-curricular maths problems as part of an inter-school competition that were much more interesting.

OT - the maths problems didn't always hold my interest, and when I couldn't be bothered doing the actual work of proving something rigorously, I instead wrote a brute-force solver in PASCAL, that produced the correct solution. Then I had the challenging task of persuading people that this was actually an acceptable method of solving a problem. I can't remember if I succeeded, but I think I gave the example of the computer proof of the four-colour theorem that I had read about in New Scientist.
