I've mentioned this a couple of times on here, but I'll say it again because it's (somewhat) relevant.

What are you guys doing to get Google recruiters to notice you?!

I get at least 2-3 messages from recruiters every day, and it's your usual nonsense. They have an exciting role in an unnamed company that pays a competitive salary, the usual stuff they spout when they don't actually represent the company they're hiring for. I can count on one hand the number of emails I've had from big companies. Amazon have emailed a few times about working for AWS in Ireland, and I've had an email from Microsoft that led to nothing.

I'd consider myself a decent developer. I have a CS degree (albeit from a crappy uni), I've done well everywhere I've worked, I've given talks at local user groups, and I've got open-source contributions under my belt. I'm primarily a .NET developer, but I've worked with Java, Python, and PHP before, so I'm not limited to a certain stack. When I left uni I applied to Google and never heard back, and over the past few years I've sent a CV in, only to be rejected after about a week by whichever hiring manager handled my application. I've even added a few Google recruiters on LinkedIn, and they never have anything for me.

For me, I'd say that the interview process is one of the reasons I'd like to interview with Google, because it's so different from everything else I've done. Sure, as I get older the idea of jumping through all these hoops to work for a huge company that seems to favour recent grads becomes less appealing, but the idea of being able to pass such a grueling interview and work on hard problems still wants me to dust off the CV and apply to Google again.

I fully appreciate the OP's point of view. Experienced developers have very different standards of working to newer developers. The more you work, the longer your requirements for employment becomes. However, I think the potential positives of working for a company with the resources like Google tends to outweigh the negatives.

NASA teases a new major exoplanet discovery – press conference today
An eagle like in this case is orders of magnitude more powerful than the kind of drone being talked about, though. Not armed military drones, obviously, but these are not the target.

A mass of 4 kilograms or so diving at several hundred km/h will do a lot of damage, keep in mind these birds kill adult deers. They're also used to avoiding the dangerous parts of the animals they attack and fast bird vision gives them a better view of rotors than the indistinct blur humans see. At 10000 rpm or so, birds of prey should actually be able to follow the movement of blades.

They also have more lifting power than most drones, which means they are absolutely able to wrestle them to the ground if the initial impact doesn't knock them off (especially since they will have a far better understanding of what's going on than the drone's operator).

I am as tempted as anyone to think that I am smarter than professionals I read about in the news, but I'm pretty sure these guys have thought their experiment through.

They kind of relie on a certain type of frame so they can grab the drone. I have cut myself pretty badly with drone propellers, I think people underestimate how powerfull those things are. No chance eagles would be a good counter-measure.

Another big challenge is that most of the embedded software I have seen is written by people who aren't exactly top notch programmers.

I spent a about 15 years mostly writing server code for UNIX machines in C (before ditching it in favor of Java, and 13 years later: Go). Since embedded programming is a bit of a specialty field where things like predictable performance and robustness is important, I expected the embedded world to be pretty professional. Because any time people start using words like "guarantees" or "real-time", you tend to assume that they do some pretty amazing stuff.

I can't really say that's what I found. A lot of code is brutally ugly, many lack understanding of even the most basic defensive programming techniques and there's a lot of superstition around abstractions by people who don't really seem to understand what comes out of a compiler (Having the compiler "compile away" abstraction layers was something we often obsessed over on projects I worked on in the 90s and early 00s).

Code is often badly organized, badly formatted, badly documented and amateurishly maintained (eg bullshit commit logs -- if the source is even kept in a version control system). As a result, you constantly fight the urge to rewrite stuff because the code is just so damn hairy. Of course, any talk of rewriting code makes people nervous ("we invested a lot in order for this to work and now it does! Don't touch it". Yeah, I'm not surprised it took a lot of work)

And all of this was code by serious companies whose brands you have heard of.

I'm hoping the IoT craze is going to accomplish at least one thing: educate embedded developers. Sure, a lot of us "regular" software people are going to run around like a bunch of flatfooted morons because it is unfamiliar territory, but the embedded world is in _dire_ need of some software culture and discipline.

In Prague it would suffice to start walking around throwing paint at tourists and smashing 14th century statues. That would get the demand down enough that normal people could move back to the center.

Edit: My point being, that buldozing the center and building high rises would solve the problem, not due to incresed supply, but due to decreased demand. There's a reason why Frankfurt and London are the only cities in Europe with high rise centers and its not the price of steel. There are pleanty of sky scrapers in Europe, but they always end up being some dead part of town that nobody visits for any reason other than work or sleep. I guess that just returns to my point about "real infrustructure". I think that in the US, you can't even really talk about the "center of the city" because people don't "go to the center" as a thing to do. People stay at home, or drive to the gym, or go to the movies. They don't "go to the center, stop to watch a movie, get out, walk around a bit, have dinner in the center." While all the time thinking of their activity as "spending time in the center" rather than "going somewhere".

I definitely agree that IRC would do well to have improvements, like an IRC/2.0 protocol. But no one is willing to get involved, likely because A) they don't want to develop a standard no one will use, B) get bogged in draft committees for years and C) they just aren't motivated.

I only proposed intermediate solutions, because I thought that would be more likely to actually amount to something. Kind of like when Google did SPDY to push for HTTP/2.0, but you'd need a player the size and with the interest of Google to do IRC/2.0. Someone to make the decisions.

It's almost ridiculous that something as ubiquitous as instant communication doesn't get more serious attention.

> Now, maybe Europe and places like Canada should just return the favor. A bit like how travel visa's are often a reverse FU. Ever notice how many destinations dont charge tourists visum costs except when you are from the US or another country that would charge them as well?

I understand your point, but it's rather impractical and more importantly not very politically amenable for countries that benefit from US tourists/visitors and are less paranoid about security to reciprocate for the sake of reciprocating. This is how we end up in a downward diplomatic spiral. I'd much rather prefer (as someone who visits countries that reciprocate and those that don't) to have places like the Schengen Area hold what they see as a moral high ground.

'Depressing' has a variety of facets made up of sadness, textual content/lyrics, and (at least for me) the placement of the title within its respective album context.

Anecdote: When I previewed Kid A via AudioGalaxy back then (it would not be released for another two weeks in my region) I thought the stylistic choices of 'Everything in its right place' were some kind of encoding error (quite frequent back then) so I trashed the whole album after spending hours on the download.

Imagine my surprise when I listened to the album from the physical album I bought a fortnight later :)

Likely because falconers want funding just as much as drone builders.

But there might be more: having a heavy hunter-seeker drone over a crowd would be nearly as bad as having the occasional rogue drone there. Birds, with their amazingly low mechanical failure rate might be the preferable way of keeping reasonable people reasonable. Sensitive parts of the sky need to be kept clear of non-malicious, but nonetheless rogue drones not only because of accident risk, but also to get a clear threat indication from the malicious ones. "Probably just some kid who ran out of things to film with their gopro" is not very helpful when assessing the relative risks of a violent takedown over a crowd.

On the one hand, yes I've been saying this since the step counters first came out with high levels of disdain.

On the other hand relative step count (ie "I now go on more walks so I beat my own original levels of activity") is not entirely useless and probably has some non-zero value?

But, like, rewarding someone more for slowly strolling for 2000 steps vs running 1500 (which probably covers a similar distance and is waaaaaay better for cardio vascular fitness) seems like a terrible plan
