> Well, that explains some of the conspiracy-mongering that was so rampant around this feature. Facebook (probably) wasn’t secretly recording your phone calls etc. They didn’t need to - they were getting streams of data from other partners.

I really wish there was a law requiring real disclosure of such customer/user-data sharing agreements with enough detail to know what's actually happening. The disclosures should include things like schemas, example records, and reasonable names for data receiptients (e.g. Amazon Inc., not Sunshine Data Brokers II Inc., an unacknowledged subsidiary of Amazon).

There's no way to make an informed choice about using a particular service or dealing with a particular company without that.
Have you studied cracking the coding interview before? If so, then I think you’ve probably seen similar problems.

I find these problems very annoying and I code a lot of clever algorithms in my research. But none of it is have the strong scanning variety, I mean, except lexing in a compiler.

And that’s how I would solve this problem in any case: I would just construct a scanner for D that would simply add to the state set rather than transitioning. That isn’t even in the canonical solution set, and anyways, would be considered too trivial as a test of compiler construction knowledge.

How many of the teenagers that vape today would have used cigarettes fifteen years ago? If you asked my class whether they know someone who regularly smokes because "they have to" everybody would have raised their hands. I think about a third smoked at least occasionally, at parties and such.

I'm not convinced that vaping is a bigger problem or that it's harder to quit vaping than smoking. How is reducing the frequency of vaping, or choosing liquids with lower nicotine content, not possible with vaping, but reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke per day is?
"Addicted to caffeine, teenagers have no clear path to quitting".

"Addicted to fortnight, kids have no clear path to quitting".

We've spent 100 years creating companies that grow because addiction works. It's gonna take a concerted, societal effort to disconnect addiction and incentives.
Bupropion (wellbutrin) was originally for depression, but can help people quit smoking.

It's fairly easy to taper your nicotine usage (as well as make your own juice), but I wouldn't expect teenagers to care that much, or use less nicotine even if they were making their own.

I had a few incidents with caffeine/energy drinks, but they were arguably a less harmful and definitely cheaper habit.
One more thing: Jared Diamond (of “Guns, Germs, Steel” fame) transferred the exact, same method to linguistics, using it to discover the ancestry of Pacific Islanders using features of their respective languages instead of letters of DNA. The result is both a tree of their (cultural) ancestry, and a map of their migration/expansion from island to island.
Yes. I suppose they'll have some kind of ticketing to enforce it:

I implemented the history.pushState API in Firefox many moons ago. Dunno why I didn't add this protection then, other than, it was a simpler time. It was around then that we added the API for vibrating a phone and we all sort of said "eh, someone could abuse this, but why would they?" (In my defense on that one I was on the side arguing that they would do it specifically for ads and we needed to lock it down.)

Anyway, I approve of this change.

On Instagram last weekend I and a friend were shown a number of ads for Chandon sparking wine after I bought a bottle, and someone else at the party also did and we talked about it.

Both of us insist we didn't google sparkling wine, Chandon, or anything we think relevant... it really does on the face of it appear Facebook had listened to us.
You know this is a problem for the layman like me. I need to get educated on the general aspects of so many things in life. But with science and knowledge always progressing at a fast pace, the "truth" is always evolving. And this makes it a problem because I cannot be 24/7 invested in every single area of my interest, which are many. So I appreciate Jared Diamond and Bill Bryson because they make available to me (random person with a lot of interests but limited time) a quick overview of things, which I gladly accept at a high enough accuracy. It's sort of like Wikipedia, yes not the be-all-end-all reference but gets you started.
Quitting is hard but it's doable. I smoked off and on for 10 years, the last 3 or so was just bumming cigs when out drunk but finally just gave it up entirely when I was about to turn 30, have to reach a point where you decide you're done.

Probably for good reason. My city did a huge development project for a new rapid transit line that featured electric buses from a Chinese manufacturer. All the infrastructure is complete except the buses were absolute crap and sent back. So we have all this new multimillion dollar development on a main street of the city and no buses.

Can we get a journalist to actually call out Musk on his "up to $1 billion a mile" claim for tunnels? That price point is extremely misleading: it's taking the cost of a subway extension and dividing it by its length. This means that it's first twice as high as you'd expect (a subway consists of two pair of tunnels, after all). But it also includes lots of non-tunneling costs: you have to take into account the costs of station platforms, mezzanines, and access points, the tunneling accoutrements (such as rails, power, emergency lighting, drainage systems, and ventilation), capital costs for new subway cars for the expansion, and new traction power substations to power stuff along the line.

The actual costs for subway tunnels is about $50-80 million per mile, and even horribly cost-inflated projects such as NYC's Second Avenue Subway (which I presume is the project cited as having a $1 billion/mile cost) comes out to $200-somethingish million per mile of tunnel. And much of that cost is probably union featherbedding.
FWIW I work at Google and despise these kind of interview questions and think they have 0 relevancy to my job -- until they do, and then I look them up and research them -- which BTW is not a skill that this interview style tests for.

It's to the point where I've done interview training here twice and both times thrown up my hands and chosen not to interview, because I can't imagine giving an interview that I myself would just walk out of.
The article specifically calls out the problem of unit measurement when vaping due to varying amounts of nicotine.

The devices themselves have varying liquid capacity and vaporizing volume settings--you can't easily track how many pulls until the device is empty.

Battery limitations also confuse the amount "left" in the device.

Cigarette units are simpler, in part because there aren't that many brands, and even if you roll your own, you probably have a pretty good idea of how much tobacco you're putting in the cigarettes.

But especially with boxes of cigarettes, you can easily count them down and keep track knowing each starts with 20.

I'd also suggest that cigarette use is far more difficult to hide than vaporizer use. Cigarettes smell terrible compared to most vape clouds. The smell and risk of iscovery could be important elements of cigarettes that might make them easier for teenagers to quit.

Finally, vaping comes in just about every flavor imaginable. Much more diverse in taste offering than cigarettes with the same high. It is really a much more refined narcotic delivery than cigarettes and so it aught to be harder for anyone to quit.
There's a few decks I've seen for math/CS, but I haven't had much luck myself, and have resorted to making my own. I've been trying to figure out the best way to do it.

For a specific math/CS topic it's not too hard, just in general.

Docopt: Command-line interface description language
I want it for email and/or calendar. Maybe a few social media sites. That's it.
To offer an alternative viewpoint:

I have a degree in pure mathematics from a highly ranked institution. I published research as an undergraduate. I went to multiple REUs. I participated in the Putnam and similar competitions. I read CLRS in 9th grade and didn't even bother taking an algorithms course in college. But even I find that these sorts of questions are more gatekeeping than anything else. That's not a perspective that I had when I was coming straight out of college.

The revelation for me came from working at a successful company that manages to hire great developers and build great teams without needing to ask these sorts of questions. It turns out that these sorts of problems are relatively rare in real software development work, and many developers who wouldn't necessarily ace them in 40 minutes under tightly controlled conditions can nevertheless come up with perfect solutions in a normal work context, should the problem actually arise.

The reality is this sort of question selects for personality just as much as it does programming ability. It selects for the sort of person who likes puzzles and brainteasers and spends a lot of time immersing themselves in that culture. It reinforces a lot of cultural stereotypes deeply embedded in the programming world.

There's also a lot of perspective to be gained by working outside of a major technology hub. If developers are rarer to come by, if you're in any sort of hiring position you realize just how careless it would be for you to throw away a candidate because they didn't ace this sort of question. It'd sort of be like a family without much food throwing out all their bread because they saw a fly land on it. Relying 100% on this sort of question reflects an overabundance of applicants more than it does any underlying universal quality in the interviewing strategy.

Beyond this, I think there's a little irony in your comment. You mention diff(1), but who's to say the author(s) of that tool would've necessarily solved this problem on the spot? You're actually making that assumption, which I find to be unjustified. There's an entire class of thinker and problem solver you're ignoring -- the deep thinkers, the great ponderers who soak their mind so thoroughly in a problem that they come out with something wonderful. But you might need to give them some space and a day or two.
This seems related to Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

If the hiring process for some tech companies has become so dysfunctional that they actually consider brain teaser coding questions to be meaningful then we should expect that competitors with more results oriented hiring processes will eventually beat them in the market.
Serious question what did they do to help teenagers quit cigarettes in the many decades past? Teenagers certainly were smoking well before the electronic cigarette was invented and utterly flopped in the 1960s.

I don't see how a delivery mechanism is any different except perhaps poorly designed regulation and not bringing down the wrath of god upon them immediately for blatantly violating tobacco advertising laws - I remember far too many radio commercials that weren't even trying to hide it - as 'a smoking cessation commercial that spends 75% of the time talking about the satisfaction and telling them they can use it anywhere'.

It was a tech disruption. NeedMoreTea said a significant disruption requires "regulation and money" and while I agree in the general case, the iPhone is an example that shows that "requires" is overstating it.

An existence proof that it "pure" capitalism can cause positive disruptive change, even if that's a rare case. And I write "pure" in scare quotes because Apple did benefit from a raft of laws and regulations (police, building codes, court system, patents, etc) -- but not to a greater or lesser degree than the other participants in the phone ecosystem.

I don't vape, but I imagine that the user has a relatively good idea how much they inhale and how much liquid they use per day (or week). It's not like they switch devices, settings, and liquids all the time.
Start charging money.
Perhaps the tenacity and work ethic needed to study a couple of months for an interview selects for people who would do the job well anyways? Maybe that is what it means to be Googly as a culture fit?

Anyways, practicing solving clever small programming problems at least isn’t boring (though I’m beginning to burn out on it), it reminds me of prepping for a high school or ACM programming contest. As long as it eliminates enough false positives, they’ll keep up with it.

It isn’t just if you can solve these problems, but can you also write straight lines of text on a white board? Also, do it while talking and and standing on one foot at the same time.
>>If I came across this problem in my "Foundations of Programming" course equivalent when I first started to learn how to code, well I'd probably be enjoying my life as a woodworker right about now.

This. Many times.

When I first started learning programming. I picked up 'Learn C in 21 days' By Peter G. Aitken- Most other friends at college picked up more technically intense books.

I agree I took a good 2 months to get through the book. But I was the only one who travelled 2 months with the subject. By the end of the 2 months I had written several programs, gained a lot of confidence that I can code. Many people quit a lot early with their books.

These days when I want to learn to some thing new. I use the same approach. I pick the dumbest possible books and solve the dumbest possible problems. And then when Im months deep in with the subject, I move towards enlightenment.
