What you said is definitely an important piece to note. But I think the OP's finding is relevant too.

I was born and raised in China, and I get way better reception when talking to women in China than I do in Canada or the States.

Unfortunately, reddit has started to hit new and new lows. See this recent highly-voted post for example (http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/jvhot/i_found_a_girl_...), where they're making fun of a poor girl's badly photoshopped photos that she dared to publish on Flickr.

I've been on reddit since its very beginnings, back when its being rewritten in Python was causing huge discussions or when programming.reddit was still a sub-domain. I've lived through the 2008 elections stealing the front page from geeky-related articles, or when making fun at digg was actually considered cool (back in 2009 or so). Anyway, I never thought that making fun and hurting actual innocent people would really hit the front-page, I'm ashamed of having supported this website for so long. There are still some pockets of common-sense left, starting with TrueReddit which I think is more like an animal preserve for those who can still remember how cool and exciting reddit used to be. I'll also want to add /r/history to the list of sub-reddits worth following.
"Ready for something new" is the standard and boring, but fair answer to a totally unfair question.
That's a constant low level burning though.
You just answered it. That's a perfectly fine, honest answer. The interviewer might follow up with a question about trying to get another position within the same company so be prepared to answer that.
Hmm, amazing if true. Seriously passive-aggressive, especially the fact that I'm not told that I've been marked as a troll.

I guess some mod was unimpressed with something I said and now nobody can hear me now. Sad.

At the very least this should be made known to the suspected troll on his/her profile page, and the block should be for a certain length of time, instead of being indefinite (as it seems to be in my case).

I sure am happy that the HN mods don't run my govt. (Am I trolling now?)
The idea of using social graph data, somehow, in calculating search relevance is a nice idea, but you have to avoid incorrect assumptions like "You will like the things your social connections like."

StumbleUpon has used social graph data for a while, to make website recommendations (but they're not a general-purpose search engine):

http://www.stumbleupon.com/technology/

Ness is seems to be using social graph information, in a clever way, to make restaurant recommendations:

http://www.building43.com/videos/2011/08/25/ness-personalize...

To me, the taste graph (a phrase coined by Hunch, I think) is much more interesting than the social graph, as an extra source of relevancy information. It you know my tastes, and you know the taste graph, then you can say what else I might like (with probabilities).

Will Facebook or Google ever use these additional sources of relevancy information? My bets are on Google.

I have no experience in this area, so you can pretty much ignore any advice that follows.

I think I would be very honest about this question. I would tell the interviewer that my current job bores me and I don't feel intellectually challenge, which is important to me. If the interviewer doesn't understand why this is a problem then this company might not be one I want to work for anyways.

Windows 7 was the first operating system I used which actually got this right.

It's still the case that if you're sufficiently far away from a nonspherical object, it'll effectively act like a point source.

OK, so I went back and re-read that paragraph twice more. I'm not sure if the claim is about abstract interpretation, model checking, or the particular problem domain, but I'm quite certain that Microsoft's tool can't claim novelty in implementing any of those, or even all three together.

Looking for a Programmer in LA area for startup/project
I don't know if it's the right place but I'm trying anyway! I'm done designing and implementing and even coding (ugly and probably not optimized) a big part of my product I want to offer, but I need to take it a step further to make it grow and maybe get some financing and everything. I need an experience and good web programmer that can deal with either PHP or Ruby, databases and has a good knowledge of web technologies. The whole package deal I guess.

The person wanted would also be a partner in the business since I don't have any funding to pay for someone at this point. We would obviously meet and talk about everything in person, and I'll show you everything I've done.

If YOU or know someone that would be willing to be involved in something I think is amazing, jsut contact me by email: kevin.bedard [ at ] gmail

Thank you!

It looks like it happened after you called out Spolsky for his paranoia. That particular comment was really not necessary here, but IMO, given your average score, total points, and the generally not-any-worse-than-average quality of your comments, that shouldn't have been enough to get shadowb&.

Leading one of the most exciting tech companies on the planet is the incentive.

Interview is all about honesty. I think there are 2 things you could say. The first reason is that you have been in your current job for a long time and you have learned a lot and became good at it. But it is not giving you any more challenge and growth that you are looking for professionally. Another reason you should think about is why this company is a better company than your current one. There is got to be a reason why this is a better fit for you professionally and personally. It could be what the company stand for, what they sell, or the technology you will be using, you name it.
Normal people would just take 58 million dollars for the first year and retire. Then again, normal people don't earn 58 million dollars a year.

What are you answering? I think his post goes to show that this statement isn't really true.

Android users are willing to pay for quality apps, and the lack there-of has made your statement somewhat more true in the beginning of Android, but not so much anymore.
Don't discount philanthropy and how that factors in to someone's sense of gratification.

Take Bill Gates for example. He has accumulated far more money then he could ever spend on himself, so he went a different route and pledged to give much of his fortune away to causes he feels are worthy to give to. Remember, the process of Bill Gates giving away his money has spawned an entire business around that process:

Sort of hard to do, if your stock doesn't actually pay any dividend.
I'm not sure it bodes well for Apple that the board feels like it has to incentivize Tim Cook with golden handcuffs. They gave Steve a lot in terms of stocks and gifts(like the free plane for example) but I can't ever rememberer him getting restricted stock to remain with Apple(except perhaps when he first came back and the company was on the verge of insolvency). Just having the ability to lead Apple always seemed like incentive enough for him.
So on the surface of the shell planet, the effects of gravity would be the same as normal, but when you're on the inside there is no net gravitational effect? ie. you'd just float near the inside surface? That doesn't seem intuitive. Wouldn't the force from gravity be acting towards the centre of mass in both cases?

Edit: Actually never mind, I think the density of the shell is what threw me off! On the outside the net gravitational effect is the local shell (RHS) plus the rest of the shell (RHS), but just on the inside - the net effect is the remaining shell surface (RHS) minus the local shell (LHS). Because the effect of gravity is 1/r^2 everything works out!
So which subreddits do you find interesting? I tend to browse the fringe parts, too, but even there there's an increase in noise, low-brow comments, and narrow-minded fundamentalism.
A couple of remarks.

1. For those who don't know of him already: Terry Tao is a very, very smart mathematician. (One indication: he has a Fields medal.)

2. He is not claiming to be anywhere near having either a proof or a refutation of the conjecture, nor a plausible way of getting near to either.

3. The main contribution (novel, so far as I know) of what he's done is the observation that there's some connection between the conjecture and transcendence theory. (Transcendence theory is an important and quite well explored field of mathematics. A number is "algebraic" if some polynomial with integer coefficients evaluates to zero at that number, "transcendental" otherwise; almost all numbers are transcendental but proving them so is generally difficult; transcendence theory is concerned with methods for proving that numbers are transcendental and quantifying how transcendental they are in various senses.)

The point of Tao's observation here is: as if we didn't already know, the 3n+1 problem probably isn't easy; an easy resolution of the problem would imply not only that people working on the 3n+1 problem have missed something simple (always possible since it's mostly of interest to amateurs) but that people working in transcendence theory have missed something simple (less likely because lots of really first-rate mathematicians have worked very hard in that field).
Facebook don't need to take on the huge capital cost of launching a search engine. They can take advantage of the fact that Microsoft already did.

Facebook can enter the search market by deepening the connection between its data and Bing's technology, and then making some UI changes.

Possible opportunity: a YouTube with smarter comments. Perhaps just embed the YouTube videos, but have a longer, better-threaded, better-ranked comment area. And some gate on registrations, like the Quora test. Hmm, maybe:

I somewhere read that Tim Cook's salary was 800K and though - wow that's really not that much for a COO (and CEO-to-be) of the biggest corporation (by market cap) in the world. But then I found that total comp is more like 60M (http://people.forbes.com/profile/timothy-d-cook/6607) which looks more like I though it should be.

My point being, in 2010 Tim Cook already got 52M of restricted stock awards, so this number spread out through the years is nothing out of ordinary for him.

From the article:

Both Apple and Microsoft executives denied that the Microsoft investment represents a path to converging the companies' operating systems. However, they said they had agreed to work out a settlement to a long-standing dispute over whether Microsoft's Windows operating system infringes on any of Apple's patents.

Another planetary thought experiment (edit: sorry, credit where it's due: excerpt from The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks):

I was born in a water moon. Some people, especially its inhabitants, called it a planet, but as it was only a little over two hundred kilometres in diameter, 'moon' seems the more accurate term. The moon was made entirely of water, by which I mean it was a globe that not only had no land, but no rock either, a sphere with no solid core at all, just liquid water, all the way down to the very centre of the globe.

If it had been much bigger the moon would have had a core of ice, for water, though supposedly incompressible, is not entirely so, and will change under extremes of pressure to become ice. (If you are used to living on a planet where ice floats on the surface of water, this seems odd and even wrong, but nevertheless it is the case.) The moon was not quite of a size for an ice core to form, and therefore one could, if one was sufficiently hardy, and adequately proof against the water pressure, make one's way down, through the increasing weight of water above, to the very centre of the moon.

Where a strange thing happened.

For here, at the very centre of this watery globe, there seemed to be no gravity. There was colossal pressure, certainly, pressing in from every side, but one was in effect weightless (on the outside of a planet, moon or other body, watery or not, one is always being pulled towards its centre; once at its centre one is being pulled equally in all directions), and indeed the pressure around one was, for the same reason, not quite as great as one might have expected it to be, given the mass of water that the moon was made up from.

This was, of course,—
深圳外墙清洗
That's right. If you are in the center of a face, the center of an edge, or on one of the vertices the gravity vectors all point towards the core.

An imagined sphere inside the cube holds 52% of the mass and so the remaining mass is divided among eight vertices, about 6% for each.

If you are off a ways from one of the points listed above, the sphere part (52%) will always pull towards the center. A lot of the force from the corners will be mitigated/cancelled by symmetry, and whatever is left over, again, it's only 6% maximum per corner.
