Then should have explicitly defined "everybody" as "everybody in the USA/developed countries".

The US as a whole isn't being hosed. The USA as a whole benefits from trade with China, but a significant subset of its population is getting hosed because of inequalities in ownership of companies that benefit from the trade. Now if we made sure that every American worker owned shares in those companies, everyone, including workers, would be better off than if there were no trade.
Is this more effective than dark frame subtraction?
This only proves that "solve" can be a pretty arrogant term. It's speaks of a contained finality that often doesn't exist.

Fujifilm X-T2 review: for the love of photography
...and, strictly speaking, the subtractive colors that closest match the typical human eye are cyan, magenta, and yellow -- the "CMY" of CMYK printer inks. Using red, yellow, and blue as subtractive colors gets you a big enough gamut for elementary school color mixing, but it won't give you as big a range of colors as CMY.

"All-in-all, I honestly think the author didn't really look into Android all that much to have complaints that he had."

The author states pretty plainly the biggest reason for leaving Android development was he didn't have time to keep up with all the developments in both Android and iOS communities.
I am a bit confused.

I did not see any argument here from the statement in the article. The recruiter clearly had little clue about what is right and wrong. And the way the recruiter assess the answer by throwing right/wrong seems more rude to me compared to the author "wanting to be right".

Please do not speculating based on something that is not present in the article.

I had done similar interviews before, the recruiters I worked with did not show the same level incompetence as this one. When I want to be more specific on details, they would suggest that they think it's enough and move on. Not like this recruiter who just throw a 'wrong'.
I think you put it in a much darker light than necessary. Many of these problems can be solved by making hardware for which it is impossible for software to cause these problems. Finally that's what we did in the era when not everything was software controlled: design the stuff in a way that it doesn't explode in your hand.

Of course, for electonical stuff this would require firmware which can't and doesn't need to replaced. Therefore it'd need to be tested rigorously and the manufacturer can't control devices out there retroactively.
Why would a person interviewing for a director position let a recruiter do a tech screen? Wouldn't it at least be respectful for the hiring manager to do this evaluation? Something is very off here.

Or does Google use the same "we have a generic interview and if you get through we will then decide which team to place you in" crap for director level hires as well?
There's an annual celebration between the cities of Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas which could have been the precursor of this idea. It's called "Día del Charro" (Charro Day) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charro_Days.

The two cities are in such good terms that even in the late eighties migration control was suspended one day so people could freely cross forth and back to see the parade starting in downtown Brownsville and ending in downtown Matamoros.

This free crossing was discontinued due to federal laws, but the two cities remain as close as ever.
Every time.

Every time I read some post by someone about how they were treated unfairly by some company or another, upon further inspection they are not telling the whole truth. (Usually not outright lies, just not the complete story.)

Ask HN: What is a US proportional response to Russian hacking accusations?
Obviously there are a lot of moving Geo-political parts to this conundrum so I wonder what other people think a proportional response looks like that doesn't cause either side to cross the point of no return?
Yeah, the apartments aren't secret either.

They are maybe little known, but the people living in them, as the article mentions, regularly invited others in for things like parties.
Wow, I need to apply for a director job at Google. I knew about 8/10 things to the level that the recruiter knew about them with my 20+ year old C knowledge. The guy who responded was way better but obviously overqualified!
You proved P = NP??? In a little more than 45 mins or did you misunderstand the question?
I don't think these questions are unreasonable as a spam filter. Yeah, they're trivia, but if you had actually worked in that space, I'd be surprised if you didn't know a lot of that trivia just by virtue of exposure.

The rejoinder, of course, is that it's probably misguided to structure your recruiting around a spam filter.

Nobody is claiming that he is a Russian agent. At most, they are claiming that he is rhetorically pro-Russian, perhaps because of admiration for Putin's leadership style, perhaps because of hopes for future deals in Russia in case the 'running for President' thing doesn't work out.
I was interviewed once by someone who would cut me off after just a sentence or two. He asked a fairly open question like, "Tell me about hash tables." I knew I should have just said, "Lookups are constant-time," but I started off with a description of their behavior instead, and sure enough he cut me off and said, "Lookups are constant-time." Some people are just not very good interviewers, but also some tech people's rules are too iron, with no exceptions, like they can memorize but not think. They say interviews are a two-way communication, and that one certainly was. :-)
We use Polymer extensively throughout our front-end, the speed/ease of development is decent - you can avoid reinventing the wheel using the polymer catalog and 3rd party components. With WebComponents support improving with each browser release (Shadow DOM now in Safari 10) and 2.0 release of Polymer coming up soon things seem to be going well in the ecosystem - would have to admit React is definitely in fashion right now though.
Excerpts from the Zep Wikipedia article:

"The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues( and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music."

"The four played together for the first time in a room below a record store on Gerrard Street in London.[17] Page suggested that they attempt "Train Kept A-Rollin'", originally a jump blues song popularised in a rockabilly version by Johnny Burnette, which had been covered by the Yardbirds."

A lot of great rock-and-roll has come out of Britain... if you trace how it got there, it comes back to the same people Dylan is talking about (not solely, but the Hillbillies are there).

That's understandable, but maddening. Why are scripts that control/operate with an editor limited to the particular choice of the editor? Back in the Amiga days, useful things had an ARexx port, and while that meant most scripting was done in ARexx itself anything could send commands and get information back via those ports. You could write scripts in assembler, BASIC, or whatever variant language you wanted.

Why do you reinstall it in every six months? It should be reinstalled - or just "upgraded" after every two years - you just need to stick to the LTS versions. Ubuntu as a distro gets better support as a desktop OS and it integrates with more DEs better than other distros. Also, unity is one of the most stables DEs with compositors while having an excellent graphical performance(compared to most DEs of course).

Google has, in the past, illegally conspired to prevent other companies from recruiting their employees. This lowers wages and reduces employee mobility. Clearly there's incentive because they have literally broken the law in the past to achieve these results.
On your points about grad-student vs. law-firm: Yeah, all the 'real' hackers are out now. Just look at Google Maps, that thing was better 10 years ago than it is today. Complain all you want about the proliferation in devices, but the fact remains that it was better a decade ago. I say that to mean that the actual hackers and the neck-beards that care about the product are gone and have been replaced by bullshit artists. Reasonable people, people that have mortgages and get other people to change their oil. Let me repeat that: Google is full of BSAs now. Just look at the Burn, it's all cigarettes and blow now, not pot and LSD. It's a networking event! How in the heck did nepotism, sorry, I mean networking, get out to Gerlach? Where have the real hackers gone off to? Somewhere cheap, aka not the Bay Area. Look at Knoxville or Tallahassee, other Southern cities, Albuquerque and Reno, or Albany. Places with some sort of grad school (not just comp-sci, look at all that CRISPR-CAS9 stuff, oh man!) that does not have crazy rents nearby. A place where you can't tell if they are a grad student or a homeless dude. The 'real' hackers are out there being busy building things, thankyouverymuch, and not giving a damn about juices that someone else makes for them. It's not that Tech has changed, those toothy basement dwellers are a part of the human genetic code, it's that SF has changed. It's mature now, there are firms and suits and spouses that need to be kept. SF will continue along this path, it is not what it once was and really, all things evolve.

I've never taken a CS class, and I still know it. I've just stared at enough packet dumps and debugged enough issues that it happens to stick.

I think it's a stupid question to ask as a screener, as it tests familiarity with trivia. It's the kind of thing I'd be happy to see that somebody knew, but it's never something I'd downcheck them for not knowing. It could just mean, as in your case, that there deep knowledge is somewhere else.

The issue that Red Hat realized long time ago, and many of the other GNU/Linux vendors as well, is that there isn't hardly any money to be made on the FOSS desktops.

Developers of desktop software usually live from unit sales of their software and consumers don't pay for subscriptions, trainings or support.

So this leaves enterprise customers as the only source of income for many distributions.

Q: What is 2+2?

Me: 4
Recruiter: Wrong. 2 + 2 = 5 for very large values of 2.
If I were asked that question, my answer would be that obviously P != NP because the former doesn't have an N at the front.

The pain of being tossed out onto the pavement would totally be worth it.

Yes, but then the peer isn't doing the same action the airline wants us to do. Unless the neighbors see the peer buying the drink, I don't think it will work. If I see my neighbor paying for a drink with a voucher, it might make me want a drink, but it might not encourage me to pay for one as much as it would if I saw my neighbor paying for a drink. In fact, the resentment of not having it for free like that other person might produce the opposite effect.
Not if they allocated $0 for warranty payments :-)

Head on over to: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#synapse-installation ...Then scroll to the last paragraph of this section, "...By default, registration of new users is disabled." The little command line method is what i used to manually register the (3) accounts for my family on my private matrix server. If you plan on using it only for yourself, it might be best to keep registration disabled, and only add yourself manually via the command line...and then you would be done.

As far as "web server", I think i know what you mean now, and admittedly I have my private matrix home server running behind nginx...but that's only because I've set it up via DigitalOcean, and simply picked one of their pre-set "LEMP" server images. I believe others have installed/run a matrix home server without nginx or apache, etc. Again, since this is all just a test for my family, i literally went into my DigitalOcean account, generated a new droplet (what they call their virtual servers), and picked a "LEMP" pre-set server. From there, i went installing the synapse server. Because nginx was already installed, I did have to forward/proxy stuff from nginx to synapse...I fully expect to kill this test matrix server off. Now having lived this, I would not have picked the LEMP image, instead just use a basic linux server from DigitalOcean and then install synapse (and any associated requirements/dependencies), that way it doesn't have nginx/apache, etc.

I have no experience with Pallium, but I suppose because there are several different implementations (python-based, Go-based, etc.) of the matrix homeserver, there could be different nuances for implementation.

Side note: The DigitalOcean droplet that I'm using for my private test matrix home server is the $5/month version (w/512MB memory, 20GB storage). Once I create the production matrix homeserver for my family, I was thinking on using the next level up $10/month version (1GB memory, 30GB storage).

>if someone keeps getting passed up for an award, it just signifies that there are people who deserved the award more

I would be less salty if another author received it over Murakami, but to make the jump to songwriter sets a precedent I don't particularly like. You can make a reasoned argument for authors who deserve it more than Murakami, but to switch genres sort of implies that either all the Nobel caliber authors have been exhausted, or that nobody cares about literature anymore, or that the Nobel committee made this pick to satiate the complaints over the lack of American laureates, and Bob Dylan was the best the US could offer. In any case I find it troubling.
Possibly same as everyone else: Been applying for a few jobs over the years ;-)

Ask HN: Does anybody need hosted GPUs for deep learning?
We are building a GPU cluster for ourselves: an AI startup in stealth mode (sorry for not posting under my real username).

We find that AWS/Softlayer/Azure prices are unreasonably high and their K80 quite slow for deep learning compared to latest consumer tech. Using commodity hardware (NVIDIA Titan X Pascal) and energy recoupment techniques we were able to significantly reduce costs - and have a greener footprint as side effect.

Now we have some spare capacity and are thinking about offering this to 3rd parties. Anybody interested?
