That's explicitly allowed in the FAQ, but it's likely you'll be pretty disappointed. The reason for this is that it sounds like they've packed the week with activities beyond the job interviews. Those activities might be enjoyable (they're trying to get you to move to NZ), but you won't get to see much of the country. And they explicitly won't let you extend your stay. So you'll be spending a week of your time, including two really long flights, to essentially get a dog-and-pony show and a few job interviews. It's not a bad deal, but probably not worth it if you're not considering moving there.
> Some California officials have talked of the state not remitting its legally obligated tax dollars to the federal government and expanding its “sanctuary” cities into an entire “sanctuary” state that would nullify federal immigration law.

In response to Trump threatening to withhold federal funding.

> Californians also now talk about the value of the old Confederate idea of “states' rights.” They whine that their state gives far too much revenue to Washington and gets too little back.

Except this whining is about feeling screwed over in voting rights and watching a president who does little to nothing to represent a very liberal/immigrant heavy state. Seemingly he feels he has no need to. He also keeps bringing up the idea that California only went against him because of illegal voting, which is a real slap in the face.

Vs we want slaves.

> Residents boast about how their cool culture has little in common with the rest of the U.S. Some Californians claim the state could easily go it alone, divorced from the United States.

California has a lot in common with other states? They have a huge economy and a lot of advantages that show they probably could do fine without the rest. I'm not sure why people would expect them to just sit there and go "I love the rest of the US" when the rest of the US is constantly shitting on California as liberal elites, not real americans, etc...

> In eerie irony, liberal California is now mirror-imaging the arguments of reactionary South Carolina and other Southern states that vowed to go it alone in 1860 and 1861.

Except for that whole slavery thing.

> California is becoming a winner-take-all society. It hosts the largest numbers of impoverished and the greatest number of rich people of any state in the country. Eager for cheap service labor, California has welcomed in nearly a quarter of the nation's illegal aliens. California is home to one-third of all the nation's welfare recipients.

Gee, almost like it's the most populous state.

> But such reactionary Confederate obstructionism is still quite an irony given California's self-righteous liberal preening.

uh huh.
Funny, but I get the impression from that book's narrative of the Challenger disaster that Feynmann was in the role of someone else's "useful genius."
Ruby is my favorit language and i am very excited about the performance improvements by projects like this.
I've used 4k for many years. On Linux it was easy; I didn't use any GUI programs other than Chrome, so it was just a matter of changing font sizes. (HiDPI didn't work for a long time in Chrome, but changing the page zoom worked fine. That is long-fixed, though.)

On Windows, things have gotten better. I have two monitors of different physical sizes, one is at 125% scaling and the other is at 225% scaling. Windows resize as you move them between the monitors. Some old apps look like garbage, but it's really an issue of Windows developers wanting their app to look "special" instead of using standard components. The apps most affected are mostly useless, like tools for changing the LED color on your motherboard. Everything important works fine; web browsers, Windows explorer, Photoshop and friends, etc.

On a 24" 4k monitor, fonts look just amazing. It is spectacular how nice the shapes are and how smooth everything is. On a 32" monitor, it's business as usual, really. Not enough pixels to feel different from 100dpi that we've had for decades.
Serious question: How does making something WAY MORE GREEN make things more visible for people who CAN'T SEE GREEN?

Heavily tested: the .HOW new gTLD
I lived there for a year. My wife is a kiwi so we visit from time to time. Lovely people, scenery, and weather. You need to be near a major hub. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch. Outside of that is mostly very rural and has little opportunity. Things are expensive. Rent is very expensive in the hubs. Almost to the point of crisis in Auckland. I worked remotely for a company in the US while I was there so I didn't get too good a sense for the tech scene but it exists. I attended a jsconf while there and about 100 attended. From what I heard, the wages aren't as high. The biggest company in NZ is a dairy company. I wouldn't recommend starting a business there. The labor laws are out of control. I was in Christchurch. Nice place but it is still recovering from the big earthquake a few years ago. There are still dozens of small tremors happening every day. I started to lose faith in the ground while living there which is a weird feeling. Utilities are so expensive that most people use woodburners to heat their homes. It was a great experience and we'll be going back some time. If you do it, try and get a remote job for an outside company and prepare to tighten your belt straps a bit. If you are into hiking and camping in your free time, there may be no better place on earth. The scenery is diverse and truly stunning.
Ask HN: What should I focus on to get my first internship this summer?
Hi,
I'm Wiktor, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Poland.

Soon I'll have school leaving exams and then 4 months of summer break. I'd like to get the most out of it so I plan to get the internship as a developer. In my area, there are no companies looking for interns, so I think I'll have to work remotely or abroad.

I've been programming for around 8 years now and got some experience (personal projects, open source, and occasional freelance) in C++, C#, Java (on Android), PHP, RoR, Python, and Golang. I also know how to work with Git. I'm not a specialist in one specific language, but I'm acquainted with many of them and I learn quickly.

Recently I created my resume and refreshed my projects on GitHub (added screenshots, so interested people can see it right away). I will link to my resume and GitHub page below.

What do you think I should do now? Should I focus on one technology/language and try to get the internship in it or try with everything I'm familiar with. I don't have one favorite language (it often changes) so I don't see a problem with it.
Should I change something in my resume or on my GitHub? Should I learn something new before applying? Just looking for tips to be prepared for it.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for the help.

I speak four languages (English, Bengali (mother-tongue), Hindi fluently and Lao semi-fluently). I just find that every language has some specific quality of expression that is unique to it and hence when you use that language to its maximum potential, you are expressing a side of you that you could not express in another language.

My speech is much more colorful (I don't mean in a dirty foul-mouthed way) in Bengali than any of the other languages I speak - I can express nuances while maintaining a style that I cannot in another language I speak without losing either the style or the nuance. I find Hindi is also very expressive that way. For the lack of a better word, I feel I'm unable to be equally "juicy" in English. Of course, I'm not a native English speaker so probably the limitation is me and not the language.
Is there a standard protocol/wireless/IR standard to call elevators that robots can use?
Do you have any source of these sub standard working conditions? I did a quick google search on HCL offices: https://www.google.com/search?q=hcl+offices&client=ubuntu&hs...

Or are you talking about work culture?
Not true. They won't do the job at the salary offered as it is a soul crushing job. If it were properly salaried according to that...

Also why would a phone and script operator need a degree? You heard a nice excuse and feel good lie.

Yeah but the government doesn't want to be responsible for covering their medical bills.
Unmetered gigabit internet is widely available over both fibre and cable. It's not particularly cheap (equiv of $80 USD+tax) but it's there.
Oftentimes they're just exploiting uneducated and naive people who work these jobs because they don't know any better, not because they want to be contractors.
Anyone can write "code", but to design, write and maintain code that is large and complex is a specialty. This game has interesting emergent behavior that arises from complex systems that it's built from. It's impressive just from that standpoint.
I'm glad to see an article that isn't all puppies and kittens, this wasn't a fun thing to deal with and certainly wasn't anticipated. The CloudFlare team did a great job responding to it IMHO.

"Of the 1,242,071 requests that triggered the bug, we estimate more than half came from search engine crawlers."

This is very important to sort out, most people don't think about security much less the storing of credential or identifying data by search engines, this is a huge part of the incident response.

I think that what we should take away from this is that even though the bug existed it was responded to in a reasonable manner.
Worth noting that Google Hangouts isn't entirely Google-developed: my understanding is that all of the old NPAPI plugin, some of the current browser codec support and server code, and most (?) of the enterprise Hangouts stuff is developed by Vidyo. http://blog.vidyo.com/vidyo-news/google-vidyo-vp9-webrtc/
I think this is a hard truth to accept for people of any political persuasion. A lot of right wing ideology rests on the idea that anyone can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and make it.

One could see this as a rallying cry for communism "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".

I think the left has a tacit acknowledgement that those who cannot support themselves should be supported by society.

Does the fact that a certain group is genetically predisposed to some condition mean we should discriminate against that entire group? I think the answer is obviously not.

The question of diversity gets messy if you assume that this is because everyone is equally qualified and the current state of affairs is only due to discrimination, rather than seeing it as a way to improve society-wide outcomes.

It's a messy topic since much of today's discourse is based on the idea that we are or should be equal when that is clearly not the case, but we keep the fiction going to avoid looking too closely because it is uncomfortable for everyone.
TL;DR: "Since this is just a sample, it is not correct to conclude that no passwords, credit cards, health records, social security numbers, or customer encryption keys were ever exposed."
Maybe what you're saying is true, but I work for an Indian IT consulting company in Europe and from my experience Indians with IQ > 120 (or even > 100) are extremely hard to come by.

> everytime I look at moving back to NZ I just get depressed about housing costs.

How does it compare to bay area housing costs?
Response? We don't respond on the left, we investigate and learn.

Unlike the right wing where science is a tool of social dominance and global warming or evolution are rejected when they're inconvenient for the plutocrats or theocrats pulling the strings, the left believes in truth. When the truth leads in an unexpected direction, we study it and check the results and then we learn the new thing that has been discovered. The only test is truth.

It's hard for the right to understand since they're so committed to obeying power, but we want to know the truth wherever it leads. We're pro-science not because we expect to 'win,' but because science and truth are good.

Whichever way the cognitive ability science goes, learning the truth will offer us new ways to help people and especially future generations to be smarter and build a better world for everyone.
Nothing.

Realtime multi-directional video over the Internet is pretty high on the pyramid of software complexity. There are a lot of corner-case problems that can only be solved by rolling up one's sleeves and building one-off solutions for a variety of hardware, OS, and browser quirks.

To my knowledge, no open source project has attracted enough critical mass to have the army of supporters that can get in and solve those problems. It's boring, glory-free grunge work, so good luck finding people you aren't paying to get it done.
One quibble: the block button is not free, it takes time, and we have limited time. Say, 60 presses/minute? When you have 3000 harassers, including many bots, is it worth spending nearly an hour blocking them?

There are third party tools that make the block button cost less, but it would be even better if they were built in to Twitter, and even better yet if the bot networks were not allowed.
> And 1.2 million people dying is nothing compared to the number of people on the earth.

A != B
I speak two languages fluently: English and Russian with English being my mother tongue.

I find when people speak a language other than their mother tongue, their voice is higher from the concentration it takes to make the second language. Also, I do agree--when you speak a language your personality is affected by the culture of the language you're speaking. One personality for English, another for Russian--in my case.

Switching to 3rd party development is a far cry from switching to mobile only development though!
Would you pay for something like this? Because if not, I see zero reason for publishers to implement this with their already limited amount of developer labor.
This is the most fascinating quote for me. If corporations and nations are entities capable of owning things, could we give such power to software/algorithms? How would that work?

As algorithms push humans out of the job market, wealth and power might become concentrated in the hands of the tiny elite that owns the all-powerful algorithms, creating unprecedented social and political inequality. Alternatively, the algorithms might themselves become the owners. Human law already recognizes intersubjective entities like corporations and nations as “legal persons.” Though Toyota or Argentina has neither a body nor a mind, they are subject to international laws, they can own land and money, and they can sue and be sued in court. We might soon grant similar status to algorithms. An algorithm could then own a transportation empire or a venture-capital fund without having to obey the wishes of any human master. Before dismissing the idea, remember that most of our planet is already legally owned by non-human intersubjective entities, namely nations and corporations. Indeed, 5,000 years ago much of Sumer was owned by imaginary gods such as Enki and Inanna. If gods can possess land and employ people, why not algorithms?
