The artist that sold the images to Getty did not have the appropriate property release, Getty was made aware, and Getty made the US Post Office aware. Without this property release the artist's photograph, and the stamps are a derivative work of the statue because it is a work of art. They continued to use the image commercially to sell stamps, knowing that they did not have the appropriate release for years after the fact, selling nearly 5 billion stamps with this image. I expect the $3.5m judgement will be challenged though, the case has been ongoing for 5 years, and it is unusually high when you consider the actual economic loss of the artist who made the statue.

>Does this mean if the USPS wanted to create stamps for the major cities of the US say LA, Chicago, NY and were to use pictures of Santa Monica Pier, Sears/Willis Tower, and Empire State building that they can't purchase pictures from Getty Images and would need permission from the owners of those properties?

A property release is not normally needed for buildings. In the US copyright for buildings viewable from the public is treated differently from copyright for statues or sculptures or other art. Also some of those are in the public domain because of their age, or because the architect did not register the copyright to the building. There are some cases where the trademark could also be an issue too, like for the Transamerica pyramid. It is generally not a problem for a photographer to get a property release before selling stock images for commercial use.

>Also what stops me from suing Google or Zillow for taking a street view shot of my home and claiming copyright infringement on monetizing google maps / Zillow listings with a picture of my home?

Google is not using the image commercially, and does not need a release from the architect or property owner to use the image. Whether or not they make money is not what determines commercial use or editorial use, and editorial use does not require a property release. In a newspaper that costs money it is OK to take a photo of Trump for a headline about him, and ok to use this next to an ad the newspaper is getting paid to publish, but not OK to use his photo as an endorsement for a product without a model release. Zillow generally gets your permission to use your images to sell your home when you upload them to a site that syndicates with zillow. For other uses where they are not selling your home, like showing the past sale price they would not need a property release. The architect would be the one with standing to sue under copyright law, to prevent others from making derivative works. If they did not register the copyright this is not practical because there are no actual damages, and they cannot collect statutory damages. The owner of the home could sue under right of publicity laws in some states if the image was used commercially. Historically but this has never applied to regular homes, and it would be rare to have meaningful damages. See Robinson v HSBC Bank USA
Because it's quite trendy to hate on all things Microsoft, especially in Silicon Valley startup culture. I'm a C# developer and have had other developers cringe in my face when I tell them I'm a C#/.NET developer.

Have you ever tried to implement the KMP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%E2%80%93Morris%E2%80%93P...) pattern matching algorithm yourself?

I tried doing it -- even with the knowledge of how it works, it took me at least a day to get to an acceptable implementation.

I recall something about domain squatting being mitigated a little while ago, but what if someone was to somehow squat on all these domains and or certificates? that would be a big issue.
And, importantly, scientists were worried about greenhouse warming before it was every actually observed. All the theories about Japan's supposedly more efficient system came well after Japan's rapid growth started.

EDIT: Well, to add a bit of detail everybody knew way back when that if CO2 ended up in the atmosphere it would cause global warming. But most scientists thought it be absorbed by the sea instead and atmospheric CO2 would barely rise. Turns out that secondary effects made the sea go and release the CO2 it absorbed so here we are. I think scientific consensus didn't swing against absorption until the data really started to come in showing it wasn't but the important thing is that many people predicted Global Warming in advance of the evidence and the only credible argument against it, before the data, was something we now clearly see isn't happening.
This is a genuine question! Does anyone know, and if it can't why can't it?

They also made some SPOT watches back then (Microsoft tech that pushed things like weather/news/emails/stocks/etc. to watches over FM radio).

I had one of the PalmOS watches. Very cool but battery life and inputting text were horrendous. I imagine Palm got most of the patents around that but maybe Fossil got some too.
The decision reads to me as if McDonald's didn't think they'd actually need to properly establish the factors as required by the law, since who'd think they're not using Big Mac, and submitted only some badly connected pieces of evidence. And officals don't like arguments that amount to half-assing and relying on everyone knows where the law calls for concrete evidence, or even aren't allowed to consider facts not brought forward by the party.

Being originally from Chicago, I remember when the Sears Tower was in the process of the name change to Willis Tower. There was a Lego kit to make the Sears Tower (marked as such) and it was re-released with the Willis Tower naming. I believe we paid $19.99. We bought it purely for nostalgia purposes and keep it on the shelf unopened.

This article caused me to look into the kit. According to BrickLink[0], the average selling price is $148.83 One sold this month for $193

It's a bit surprising not to see the military on this list. According to [0] the US military has 82 deaths per 100,000 per year, around 55 of which are from "accidents" and "combat" which could reasonably be considered work-related deaths. That would put it in third or fourth place on the most dangerous list.

Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) are actually both pretty interesting algorithms (although relatively simple for the basic cases - there are some variations), partly because of their applications.

It's actually initially a bit surprising that BFS has such a simple algorithm using a queue, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread and in the Wikipedia article about it [1]. Might be non-intuitive on first look, but then turns out to make perfect sense.

I'm fairly certain I know which company you're talking about - I'd recommend you redact the specific question they asked, because I'm aware that they do check online (including HN) for interview questions that were asked. You have plausible deniability as long as you don't name the company, but given the NDA they throw at you it's probably better to be safe than sorry :)

That being said - sorry to hear that was your experience. That shouldn't have happened, but it does.
This is very interesting. Are you aware of any more research into this?
Oh yeah forgot to mention that. That also fits the humanitarian aid sector, we believe. Hopefully several NGOs can use the same tool later on.
It might have worked to do what we did at the end of WWII to Germany and Japan: occupy in overwhelming force for at least a decade, changing both the culture and the machinery of government before we left. The US didn't have the political will to do that in Iraq, though.

I'm not exactly a gifted programmer or anything but a BFS seems pretty reasonable in an interview depending upon the amount of rigor / efficiency being demanded. I remember doing it for one of my very first interviews where I was asked to implement a website crawler and hold onto URLs. Having written a lot of them while trying to scrape sites for info before every other site had an API, this was super fast for me and was a very practical problem. It's not like they're asking for a topological sort of a graph where you can use Prim v. Kruskal and now you have to make sure you remember that near the neurons that activated your memory of your 3rd week of sophomore year 2nd semester when you had a really nasty cold. If you haven't heard of breadth-first v. depth-first that should be simple.

I do this problem constantly on my laptop when I'm looking for files and start getting annoyed at how long a search is taking. You start applying -maxdepth to a find command and fumble through directories perhaps and do a for loop. This is how I wind up doing a crude variant of k means clustering using cut, sort, uniq, and some creative use of awk when trawling through a bunch of log files.

But I do feel that anyone pretty serious about programming as a career understands there's little to be gained by more or less bitching about the state of hiring and a lot more to be gained by spending a few hours or so working on some problem sets occasionally. We're all busy and have to keep our technical knowledge up to date of course, but almost every well paid professional has to do this (doctors and lawyers are required to do this to even practice, in fact). I don't bother interviewing for FAANGS because my brain's fried and burn-out makes working on interview prep an order magnitude harder, but I don't go around blaming everyone for acting in their own self interest either.
My wife is also in the real estate market: the reality is that people's incentives are not maximized on house value, they also care about other things , like safety, patient, attention, etc.

It is what it is. RE is not a perfect market because goods really cant be commoditized.

I reiterate my point with one more argument: the average income of a realtor is very low: they make very little money. The number of active realtors is almost perfectly correlated with house prices: that means a highly competitive , and thus relatively efficient, system.

Wouldn’t asking real-world questions that the person will definitely run into during the job also gauge problem solving skills? Unless problem-solving isn’t part of the real job, in which case it’s not worth testing for.

If your point is that you do a mix of questions that are definitely relevant and some that are academic and might be relevant, why not just do 100% known-relevant questions? What’s the value add of asking questions that are less than 100% relevant?

I'm not sure in regards to the type of facility that the guards I spoke to worked at. One was definitely a jail, so this was pre-conviction, don't know the security level. Essentially, it's an unspoken agreement between the guards and inmates. The guards allow certain things, the inmates don't cause trouble. Without an agreement like this, the guards are outnumbered and it's practically impossible to keep the peace. So I was told anyhow.

One idea I heard recently was to include a copy of the job description that the HR person wrote in your resume. You include it in such a way that it can’t be seen visibly. For example, make the font size really small and the colour the same as the background colour.

The theory here is that programs that automatically scan resumes for keywords will always find the ones they are looking for.

I can’t say I have tried this or know how well it would work in practise.
Probably because federal funds go out mainly according to population counts, and taxes come in based on who makes the most money.

The places that spend more taxes than they remit are either too poor to pay more tax, or they have relentlessly selfish representatives that won't vote yes on anything unless it also includes a job for their district. It's pretty easy to tell the difference.

Only one TSA officer has ever been killed on-duty, and they have a total of 57,000 employees as of 2016 [1]. Not all of them are inspection agents (maybe 1/3? I'll use 20,000), but they've been an agency since 9/11 (I'll use 17 years). That makes 1 death per 340,000 agent-years. Admittedly I don't know how their total employee number has changed over time, and my 1/3 estimate could be wildly off.

Meanwhile the statistic for police in the US in 2013 was 11.1/100,000 [2], about 37 times as dangerous, or 18.3/100,000 for firefighters [3], or about 62 times as dangerous.

That's not the whole picture though, because it doesn't take into account hours worked, or injury (probably also higher for firefighters and police).

Ritual has completely changed how I order food. I never wait in line, talk to the staff, or have to pay in person. You just show up when the app tells you it will be ready and grab the bag and go.

Everyone I know who started using it uses it nearly daily or multiple times a week. There's often 10+ bags waiting for Ritual users at any time at a hamburger place I frequent.

Not to mention Uber eats and other delivery services. Retail interaction for food is changing rapidly.

Have you considered that it may be natural for her to choose screen time at 9pm exactly because you have limited it to her?

Let's say she enjoys several activities equally, yet access to one of them is restricted while access to the others isn't - she can do them as often as she wants. If her bedtime then is at 10, she is allotted one hour to enjoy the restricted activity, she hasn't used that hour today, and the clock strikes 9, why shouldn't she opt for the restricted activity?

Or is your actual goal that you want her to enjoy screen time less than she currently does?

I think there's a difference between 1) wanting your kid to do other things in addition to something that they already enjoy, and to 2) expect them to enjoy it less just because you don't understand why they find it enjoyable.

I also think this is a mistake parents should be more careful about making.

From what you've written it doesn't seem like a case of true addiction to me, but if it is, I apologize, and your concern is probably justified.
A valid point for sure. But as a consumer, I'd strongly prefer it if they spend very little on marketing and instead pass the savings onto me.
That sounds good, really. It is better then asking about breadth/depth first search. Added bonus is that potential employee gets some idea about what he will do daily too before making decision.

Another way to screw hiring is to select for algorithms loving geek who seeks algorithmic challenge and can recite obscure edge cases - and then put him on position where he has to solve normal business problems or maintain unit tests because that is what job is. And then wonder why genius is demotivated and does not seem to produce.

But, I still don't think either of these search questions is outrageous or a deal breaking question. It is within acceptable questions range - partly because it is so common that I would expect a person to quick google it if they heard it twice already and did not figured it out in stress of interview.

As a full-time tech worker, time management is just as important with your off-hours projects as it is in your 9-5. You can only do so much (time is finite) so it's important to know when to drop a side project when the ROI isn't quite enough (in this case I'm talking about your wife).

Not being able to hack out a project for days straight is simply unhealthy.

Here's my advice: Divorce your wife, and to feel solid in your decision going forward, write "I divorced my wife for this" at the end of the Github README.md for each of your stupid bullshit projects.

They're not showstoppers, but there are a lot of them and it makes the language that much more annoying to use.

They don't prevent me from using PHP, but they make it unpleasant. A lot of mental effort that could be going into making sure my own code makes sense has to go into making sure that PHP's behavior makes sense and matches my mental model, more so than with many other languages. It increases friction.
You might enjoy honor Harrington by David Weber. There is FTL, but it still takes significant time to get anywhere, and that plays a big role in the story.

The Atlantic headline is IMHO bad though -- I would agree that applying the "Rap Legend" title is questionable when it doesn't even appear that Dr. Rapp cut a commercial release. Typically in music and art, individuals that get this term applied to them tends to be pioneers, very influential artists, or artists that have some other large notability. (IMHO KRS-One could qualify for the tag, for instance.)

The story is fine and interesting, the headline just detracts from it. The headline from earlier articles (such as the 2000 LA Times article http://articles.latimes.com/2000/apr/03/local/me-15542 -- "The self-prescribed therapy of Dr. Rapp") is much better IMHO.
