It sounds like you came from a nice, civilized country. Why then did you move to whatever 3rd-world hellhole you currently live in? It sounds like you'd be happier going back home.

Thanks for the elaborate answer! I knew about things like acoustic fingerprints but not that people use the term "hash function" to describe something that indicates similarity.

Could something like Hamming distance be called a hash function too? It's not mentioned on its Wikipedia page.
Absolutely not. The reason so many Google upper management types sport beards (case in point, Sundar Pichai), is the chronic lack of time from working nights as data-center technicians/network engineers. How else can you explain Google's up-time and low-latency? :)
How would it "stop working"? I've done re-installations here and there, but I can't think of a single time that it just "stopped working". And yes, after a couple months I usually do an in place upgrade for my laptops, desktop, and servers that have all been running Ubuntu for a few years.

Strategically placed on the Mexico–United States border, Ciudad Juárez has long been a center of illegal drug trafficking. The Juárez Cartel's long-standing control over the city's trafficking activities was challenged in 2007 by its former ally the Sinaloa Cartel, leading to an exceptionally bloody turf war. In the period from 2008 to 2012, violence between the two reached unprecedented heights as the city became known as "the most dangerous place on Earth".

Until all drugs are legalized Juarez will always be a main smuggling route and as a result will pretty much always be in turf wars. Any lull in the violence is probably temporary.

Unless one of the cartels becomes part of the government like the CIA has in the US. In which case the drug business in Mexico will become much more civilized.
So basically you seem to judge situations poorly, but seem to insinuate that customer complaints are often not justified.

That may be, and that's why it's a good idea to wait for proof. People saying "I told you so" or "Every time" are missing the point and not helping.

I agree that it's on everybody best interest that Apple in the futur shall contact all accounts potentially impacted by a ban. But according to new elements the way out by re-enrolment proposed by apple on phone was pretty kind.
These are not director questions. I wonder if this is a case where a team didn't want to hire:

A team gets pressure to hire, but they don't want to.

A team has a great internal candidate but can't push it through without going through external candidates. (Expecting any director couldn't answer these -- which they shouldn't).

A team can get 2 for 1. Usually an H1B situation, which has the extra benefit of chaining the 2 candidates to the company. Former H1B employees love this option.

A team has a 'friend' in mind.

I honestly think, this isn't a question of a dumb recruiter, more like a way to just push something through. The recruiter was probably taken to lunch with a high five. This is very normal. I wouldn't freakout that they have a 'dumb process' you need to read between the lines here. The saddest part, this pawn gets a "PASSED" on his record at Google -- but it was just internal politics.
Woah, I've never seen this before -- thanks for sharing!
The question was "how do you do bit-counting of a bunch of numbers". The two canonical answers are "lookup table" and "using bit shifts and multiplying by magic numbers".

The fact that there's a machine instruction for it does makes it a bad question.

If you have made your living doing C programming since at least 2011 and weren't aware of his passing in the past 5 years, you're an embarrassment.

Especially if you were too busy lauding that crook, Jobs, for being so "innovative". (He wasn't; theft has been around since the concept of property came into existence.)

This is a lot like just finding out, say, your grandpa who paid your way to college and inspired you to succeed had died five years ago, but you were too busy mourning the death of that annoying frat boy who got drunk and drove his car off a bridge to acknowledge the news when it was being discussed by all of your family members.

If it weren't for C... if it weren't for Dennis Ritchie... it's highly likely that most of our lives would be drastically different and probably for the worse.

How We Built Chop
Given the fact that (correct me if I'm wrong) camera sensors use the same sensor elements for red, green, and blue, but with a different filter in front, it seems strange to me that blue and green are almost eliminated by the cooling but red remains to a large degree. I would expect this distribution if the camera used different photodiode types sensitive to their respective color range.
that is objectively false.

I keep pushing the message that getting a "correct[tm]" answer to a technical question is probably not the answer you should be looking for. Problem solving skill trumps rote knowledge every time.

Sure, we use our own arena allocators with varying degrees of success in my current project (V8--JavaScript VM implemented in >800KLOC C++). The fact that C++ allows you to peer behind the curtain is more its own admission that it is inadequate to meet all use cases. It always allows one to resort to "manual" control. Usually that manual control comes at the cost of literally violating the language semantics and wandering into the territory of undefined behavior. As tempting as this manual control is, my 15 years of C++ versus my 10 years of Java and JVM implementation makes me feel like C++ causes far more trouble than it's worth, especially for projects that have no business at all trying to outdo the defaults.

Wow. If this is actually what happens, even a little bit, then Google has a huge, huge fucking problem, and it needs to be fixed.

I've never bothered to apply to Google. But if this happened to me, I'd just walk away. You don't know me, but you don't want that :-)

Offer HN: I will build your MVP if you help me land a sale
I am an experienced Rails developer, and I recently launched a service[1] targeted at non-techie business owners to help them increase their revenue by building new products.
The issue I am running into is that there isn't a niche for "people that want to launch a new product that don't know they want to launch a new product yet". So it is hard to target.

Right now I am doing cold email, direct sales. As you can imagine, the response rate is very low -- not only because it is a cold email, but also because I am essentially creating a new market.

What you need to do is: - Land at least 1 sale, with no spend. - Help me build a repeatable process that will allow me to land more sales without you. - The 2nd point has to be proven by you supervising me land a 2nd sale using that same process.

In exchange, I am prepared to offer you either: - Development services equal to the value of 1 sale (sales start at $15K+). - A fully developed MVP, where we both agree on a reasonable feature set to help prove your hypothesis. I have a lot of experience building MVPs, so I can help you with this.

The only caveat is that I don't do mobile apps, so it has to be a web app. Also, I won't come out of pocket for any expenses related to the development of your MVP (aka buying a template or paying for any on-demand services we need -- AWS, Heroku, etc.).

I am reasonable if you are reasonable.

I have experience building marketplaces[2][3], and many other types of web apps that do all sorts of third-party API integrations (from Stripe, Github, StackOverflow, Twitter, etc.). In general I have a decent amount of product (MVP) experience.

If you are interested, either email me at: marc+offer@mymvpblueprint.com or just reply here with your info for how I can contact you or any questions you may have.

This is all just based on my personal experience talking to people.

I started asking about him because the pictures were everywhere. Maybe I was fooled but it sure seemed like they liked him and had good things to say. Not that they were fearfully trying to avoid speaking ill of the king.

Perhaps that suggests you're giving them the wrong interview.

It's an attempt to avoid instantly breaking all the sites across the web using WoSign/StartCom certificates. A year should give customers enough time to learn about the issue and switch providers. Meanwhile, WoSign can't sign up new customers or renew existing ones (at least, not if they want those new certs to work in Firefox).

You are right that several of these questions could be due to his misunderstanding the questions asked at the time, answering the wrong one, and then remembering what he thought he was asked. But it is beyond my imagination to reconstruct a plausible conversation that could result in the one recorded without there being considerable ill will on both sides.
Just FWIW, about 5 years ago someone also contacted me for a google interview. The questions were very similar, so I'm not surprised. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but after a few mins I didn't took the call serious any more and in the end after 30 min it felt more like a way too long prank call.
Perfect analogy. And you just jogged a bad interview memory - "thanks a lot."

These are often called "dew heaters", and are really quite simple. It's usually nichrome wire (e.g. what you see in a toaster), or sometimes a bunch of resistors. The tiny amount of heat generated by these straps are enough to raise the optical port a degree or two above the dew point.

My QHY8 (a dedicated astro CCD) for example has a poor/old design, where the CCD compartment is not air-tight. This allows humid air to get inside, which can then fog up the optical glass due to the peltier cooling the sensor down.

The fix is a small ring that screws into the port, and raises the temperature just enough to combat dew. You could also wrap a dew heater strap around the part of the optical train at that point for a similar effect.

Dew (and frost) are the astrophotographer's great, persistent enemy and not just on the CCD. You'll also have dew problems on the telescope itself. For example, my newtonian sometimes has dew problems on the secondary mirror, occasionally on the main mirror, and always on my guide scope.

Most people just create some DIY dew heater straps with nichrome wire... it's super simple and effective.
Honestly I would have said popcnt as well. Lookup table or bit shifts when I can have the cpu count the 1's? I guess i'd need to benchmark it to be sure. Either way I can't say its a good question.
Is the Garmin smart enough so if two routes temporarily share a stretch of road it doesn't tell you to get off the route you were coming from? For example you are traveling east on route 2, route 202 merges into 2. Rt 2 and 202 are the same road for a few miles, then rt 202 splits off (you are going to continue going east on rt. 2). My GPS tells me to get off Rt2 and to "turn right" on to 202. My ideal GPS wouldn't say a damn thing in this situation since I am staying on the same road.

You can have situations where you are prepared to recruit someone with potential versus being the final article. In those situations the overqualified candidates may not compare well with what you consider the potential of the slightly under-qualified candidate, and may not have some of their other attributes. It's obviously a risk, but it happens more than people think.

Second i'm going to point out a few things:

Experience may translate into wisdom, it may not.
Plenty of companies promote people just because they last long enough. So 20 years experience managing may translate into a high level manager, it may not!

I hold a bunch of patents too on compilers and other things, it's not indicative of much in terms of skill, because almost anything is patentable.

Lastly, SRE is not an ordinary site maintenance position by any means. I"m not even sure where to begin to correct that.
I guess i'd start here:
https://landing.google.com/sre/interview/ben-treynor.html

Does this mean this person is under/overqualified/exactly right?
I literally have no idea.
I just don't think it's as obvious one way or the other.

"Well, that sounds like a dumb recruitment process."

Judging an entire recruitment process based on one side of a story from a person who's clearly upset about an interview, and even 3 sentences i wrote on hacker news, seems ... silly.

If you want to do it, okay.

But everyone in this entire thread seems to be making snap judgements without a lot of critical thinking.
That makes me believe a lot of people here have a ton of pre-existing biases they are projecting onto this in one direction or the other (and you are, of course, welcome to claim i fall into this category too!)

I almost didn't jump into this discussion because it seems so polarized and rash compared to a lot of others

I think i'm just going to leave it alone because it's not clear to me the discussion is going to get any more reasonable.
I think in this case, it's more like there are "independent" recruiters with their fixed Q&A sheets sitting around, somewhere, and fishing around for possible candidates to make it to a second level.
In retrospect, they did exactly the right thing. Consider the facts as we know them:

1) A developer appears to be manipulating reviews in direct violating of his developer agreement.

2) Apple attempts to reach out to developer, but receives no response.

3) Apple suspends account, and any linked accounts.

4) Said developer cries foul, lies through his teeth about having nothing to do with these reviews, accuses Apple of unfair treatment, and succeeds in getting major news outlets to pick up his story.

5) Apple's reputation is unjustly damaged due to the one-sided media attention.

6) Apple reaches out to developer directly, gives him a reasonable way out: Admit that Apple's actions were justified based on their best available knowledge, and further that they are willing to correct the situation and assist the developer with preventing it in the future. This protects the interests of both parties. Apple is vindicated. Developer is vindicated. Bad press goes away.

7) In the process of carrying out this agreement, Apple discovers said developer was lying to them. He was indeed guilty of exactly what Apple accused him of. The linked account contained his own products, as proven by archives of his website. Apple makes the ban permanent.

Now, if Apple had done what you suggest, this would be tantamount to saying, "Yep, that bad press was right. We screwed up. Sorry." This damages Apple's reputation, making developers wary of distributing products on the App Store. This has a financial impact on Apple. If I were still an Apple shareholder, I would expect my interests be protected in exactly the manner they were.

Whether one agrees with the walled garden of the App Store is not relevant to the facts of the case. Enforceable legal contracts between two parties is a key pillar of modern civilization. The parties in a contract must weigh their risks-rewards, and judge accordingly.
