I'm the type of person who can't fathom actually falling for a phishing attack. As a tech-savvy software developer, it is extremely unlikely I will ever be successfully attacked via a phishing email, text message, blog/forum link, etc. If the initial link I follow could possibly be questionable, I look at the domain before logging in. I must be part of much less than 10% of the population that is at least that informed and vigilant.

I hadn't considered login redirects. This attack vector is one I can see myself falling for. Sign in on the legitimate google.com domain. Whoops, I just mistyped my Google password - not a rare occurrence. An exact replica of the "incorrect password" page has me type in my password again. Then they have a replica of the two-step authentication screen. I enter in the valid TOTP code, and now I've just given a third-party full access to my Google account.

This should absolutely be considered a serious threat. Hell, the only thing we freaking teach non-tech-savvy people to do is to look at the domain name. This attack vector completely bypasses that common understanding of how to detect phishing. There is absolutely no way I should land on a 3rd party domain after authenticating, without at least an interstitial page informing me I am heading off of Google's properties. Any redirect chain specifically from login should require landing on a Google domain, or have an interstitial. This doesn't need to be done globally for all redirects - just from login.

Oh well, I learned something new today. Re-check the domain you are on every time you type in credentials. You can't rely on your initial entry page being on the right domain, you have to be paranoid to the point of insanity every time you touch your keyboard.
Hmm, Soldiers are adults, but they usually have mandatory PE. But I suppose they are volunteers. If only our students weren't conscripted into their educations.
I think this should be made clear on your site. I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to actually get this to be distributed, but the answer is - you don't. So it's only like S3 in interface, not in durability or availability.

I was with you until the "The best programmers..." line. They are the best programmers for whatever reasons were important in whatever it was that they were doing.

When I have asked interviewees to do anything on a whiteboard I've generally said 'pseudo-code is fine or whatever language your comfortable in or even diagram it'. What I'm looking for is an awareness of high-level concepts and ideas. People may not google for something if they don't know to google for it.
I suspect that you are thinking of FizzBuzz differently than it was originally intended.

FizzBuzz is not designed as a test of real-world programming skills; rather, it is a deliberately easy test to ensure that a candidate can solve an elementary programming problem from scratch.

The idea being, that somebody that can not solve a trivial problem is in no shape to tackle a harder problem.

Many companies overthink this. They add TDD, or try and test if a candidate can implement Dijkstra's Shortest-Path Algorithm, or any number of other complications.

But that all misses the point of what FizzBuzz does.

FizzBuzz is a first-stage filter, and exists only to screen out copy-pasta programmers that, while their resumes might look good on paper, can't actually code.

There are a lot of those programmers out there, even today.

FizzBuzz should take a candidate no more than five minutes in a language they are familiar with. It really should be that level of simple.

After FizzBuzz is when you can dive into the real-world problems, because the candidate has demonstrated that they can write code.

Now, admittedly, I have moved past FizzBuzz, and now prefer doing a simple pairing exercise over-the-phone, but FizzBuzz is still a useful tool in the interviewing toolbox for companies that don't use pair programming.

If you do use FizzBuzz, I do recommend changing it up. Don't just copy Atwood's FizzBuzz problem. Change the numbers, mix the conditionals around, that sort of thing. But keep it just as simple.
Could probably do it with a lookup table, a counter and some fairly simple boolean logic. You could probably put it on a small FPGA.

I recently got a Pebble Time Round and love it. Never wanted a watch before.

Few watches provide vibrating alarms, but Pebble's helps keep me on track during the day without disturbing everyone around me with beeps. I wrote a tiny app to vibrate at different points of a meeting so I know how much time is left without boorishly checking a clock, and the development experience was smooth.

With the Android Light Flow app, I can control which contacts for which apps can send notifications, which helps keep me aware of things I need to be aware of without being a firehose of alerts.
No it's not. Some machines are too far lost to put worthwhile effort into.

Just how important unenforcability of non-competes was for making SV into SV is debatable (eg, clearly did not differentiate from LA). More compelling reason for any state to make them unenforceable is that less enforcement has better outcomes (more startups, jobs, incomes, patents; well last is problematic but usually used as a proxy for innovation), _even when Northern California is excluded from the dataset_; see 10.1287/mnsc.1100.1280 or http://webdoc.sub.gwdg.de/ebook/serien/lm/DRUIDwp/10-02.pdf
I especially feel for the H-1Bs who were tricked into working for this character. Because they require a sponsor to remain in the US, leaving the company would also mean leaving the country and giving up a huge opportunity. Working through an unfamiliar justice system in an attempt to recover their wages is also very risky, especially if they realize the company is broke. I hope some good will come to them but I suspect this will just be a "life experience."

It'll take more than a few years for anyone other than SpaceX, and perhaps Blue Origin, to start recovering entire boosters -- it's a lot harder than you might think to retrofit on an existing rocket, and those two companies are the only ones to have designed rockets from scratch for it (though Blue is ... ahem ... a little while yet from even starting to actually build their orbital launcher).

Other launch providers are obviously watching, and the Indian space program, at least, is developing technology intended to feed into an eventual reusable design. But some of the others with announced plans still won't be trying to recover an intact stage, but only pieces, particularly the engines (detached in flight from the rest of the stage). That's the case both for Vulcan, the next-generation rocket from United Launch Alliance (the Pentagon's preferred provider), and for the Ariane-6 -- both of which won't initially launch with even that level of reuse, but only get it in follow-on work. (The reuse strategies for these are called SMART and Adeline, respectively, if you want to Google for them.)

As another commenter has noted, FiOS is Verizon’s trademark for service delivered using what is known generically as a fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network.

A typical network of conduits and fiber optic cabling installed along major streets for traffic signal synchronization and similar municipal purposes is unlikely to reach or pass many homes directly. Extensive “last mile” construction may be required between the existing network and each location to be served, and the cost of this is often a major factor limiting broadband deployment, especially in suburban and rural areas.

Your city’s network could be useful to businesses or telecommunications companies that need point-to-point dark fiber connections, and many local governments and electric utilities with fiber optic networks find it attractive to lease some of their excess capacity. The economics of this--a few sophisticated customers, willing to pay, in advance, the full cost of connecting their buildings to the nearest conduit--are completely different from those of mass-market consumer offerings, which generally need a very high take rate to keep the prices reasonable. Achieving this can be difficult, especially in overbuild situations with established competitors.

You might be interested in these two studies, both prepared by the same consulting firm, discussing the costs and opportunities of municipal FTTP development:

I am not a VC, but I would think that having a "CMO" would be a disaster for fundraising and a solid "Marketing professional" would bad, but not as bad as having someone with a big title.

Marketing without product market fit is a huge red flag imo.
It is really interesting to see that this is a very 'ordinary' commercial geostationary launch customer, and not a government funded research satellite. This is oversimplified, but traditionally, rockets that are in beta test mode are tested like:

1) static pad tests/firings of engines

2) all-up launch of the full rocket, carrying a boilerplate satellite with some instrumentation, maybe some cubesats or low cost small R&D satellites tagging along

3) one or two launches of government science payloads, or government-funded weather satellites, something like that

4) commercial launches begin
He satisfies himself with contempt for those who find it not so easy as he has to choose the life he's chosen. I won't be satisfied until we have a world which makes no such choice necessary. Hardly apples to oranges; more apples to orchards.

As it happens, I recently attempted to open a conversation on this subject with the man himself, in a public forum. I was polite, if uncompromising. He was profane, and preferred to have a minion disconnect my microphone rather than address the point I raised. Many people in the hours that followed found it worth their while to seek me out and thank me for making the attempt. Perhaps more thanked him for his response. I hope I may be forgiven for finding that improbable. In any case, he found no reason not to sign my Emacs manual when I approached him not long afterward, so I can at least hope that, however fundamental the differences in our positions on this matter and however unlikely the prospect of fruitful debate, there may remain at least some modicum of mutual respect.

Right, so even if they don't receive any tips they get paid minimum wage. It's a bit disingenuous to suggest they make less than minimum wage if they receive no tips.
Not when mobile. Thanks for the backup.
> FizzBuzz is a first-stage filter, and exists only to screen out copy-pasta programmers that, while their resumes might look good on paper, can't actually code.

I said recently in another thread that the lead tech at my company was complaining during one round of interviews for a senior position, that some of the candidates couldn't even conceptually 'get' FizzBuzz, let alone code it.

> FizzBuzz should take a candidate no more than five minutes in a language they are familiar with

I'll go a step further and say that if you're the kind of person that takes FizzBuzz as a personal insult, then you should be able to write it out in 60 seconds max, and move on with the interview. FizzBuzz is not for 'you', it's for the people who claim to be as good as 'you', so take it easy and move on.

Complaining about FizzBuzz is like complaining about having a police check done, even though you don't have a criminal record. The check isn't for 'you', the innocent person.
Building many identical satellites in an assembly-line like fashion cuts down on costs significantly. Large geostationary satellites are currently based on standard buses (like the Boeing 702 and its variants), but each satellite is generally a bespoke product. Larger quantities of the same thing like the second generation Iridium network and the o3b MEO satellites are very interesting from a per-unit cost perspective.
Practically, yes, telescopes are limited by the diffraction limit. This depends on ratio of the wavelength of the light being captured to the size of the optics. In theory one could make larger and larger perfect lenses/mirrors, but practically there is a limit somewhere. More information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

I suppose at some point quantum effects will take over, but I'm guessing the manufacturing requirements for perfect optics will be the limited factor long before then.

Perhaps because said NDA wouldn't stand up in the event that they didn't pay? (especially since the disclosures related to said lack of payment). She wasn't disclosing their secret sauce recipe.
The chain is still complicit all the way to the president, who took no action against the NSA after their actions were publicly revealed, or against Clapper after he lied to Congress. Taking action in those instances is the least the President could have done; he should have been a vigilant defender of the people, who eliminated the programs before they are even disclosed.
In India, the concept has taken off because of Uber and Ola subsidizing the fares by paying the difference from VC money. The moment they stop subsidizing and start raising prices to make them par with what drivers get paid, the consumers will shift back to auto-rickshaws. If they start dropping prices, the drivers will shift back to inter-city routes.

It's so fascinating. Not to sound insensitive, but I've been waiting for a screenplay about this for a while...
For large-aperture ground-based telescopes operating in the visible spectrum, the seeing limit is the dominant effect. Atmospheric turbulence is a bigger factor than the precision of your optics, in other words. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_seeing

(Space telescopes are diffraction-limited but have other constraints, like mass budget and cost, that keep them from being as large as ground based facilities.)

Well something between 50-80% of antibiotics are used in agriculture. Which is huge, but it's within the same order of magnitude. I'm not sure there is evidence that the majority of antibiotic resistance is caused by agriculture.

I know for example my brother takes a low dose of antibiotics everyday to treat acne. Lots of people do. That can't possibly be good for preventing resistance.

Also the germs animals have are different than those in humans. Do cattle spread gohnerrea? And the antibiotics they use are different than those used in human medicine as well. The biggest problem is it is becoming resistant even to the last line antibiotics we have, and that can't be from agriculture.
