That is a great point. If anyone does want to do the calcs ;), it's important to keep in mind the difference between what you do on Google when you are clicking around 'searching' for content, and what happens with these folks on Facebook. On Google, your intent is relatively clear since the advertisers bought ad space against _search_ terms...not perfect, but pretty good. On the other hand, Facebook is claiming that they can do an amazing job of targeting customer segments...which may be true, but it is also mostly irrelevant in this case since the intent behind the behavior is the only thing that really matters in cost-per-click advertising that costs more than a fraction of a penny per click.

I believe the market will take care of the price once it understands the product that Facebook is selling - at least I hope so. In the mean time, Facebook is fleecing a bunch of advertisers, especially small ones.

Hey Google I Don’t Care About Hangouts, I Just Want To Read My Email
Problem: High school and college graduation rates are not where we want them to be, possibly because students are having problems with math.

Solution 1: Look at where we are going wrong with teaching math to our students, and improve math education so more students graduate.

Solution 2: Make Algebra and other math optional, and not a requirement to graduate.

I have to admit he does make some sense. We might be missing out on talented kids because of the math requirement, kids who could be good writers for example. On the other hand, I see mathematics as becoming increasingly important in a modern, information-driven world. If it were up to me, I would go with Solution 1. I would say yes, Algebra is necessary.
Which is extremely disturbing because it is not a private email address.

You know, a lot of people give .NET a lot of scuff for being a bloated language (insert 15 other insults here) but it really CAN work well for applications in a professional environment. But then again it is always about what computer language you know the best.

That being said I also think Delphi is another great alternative! I personally have never used it but I have seen a lot of applications that I admire admit to using it for development.

Maybe it's time for the web to switch to a model where revenue is not driven by clicks, but by actual transactions. It's harder, of course, but it would sanitize things a bit. Hopefully, bots won't learn how to pay. And if they do, well, it doesn't hurt.
If your application doesn't have special requirements (e.g. heavy computations, graphics, etc..) then using C# + WPF (or Winforms) is very efficient in the sense that you can get a lot done quickly. Visual Studio is a great IDE, MSDN documentation is not bad, and because a lot of people use those technologies then whenever you hit an issue it's pretty quick to find someone who had the same one and solved it (e.g. on StackOverflow).

Hey, I'm an engineering manager on the Ads team at Facebook and have been working on our Ads Marketplace Quality team for a couple of years now.

We take reporting accuracy seriously and have a variety of systems in place that may filter out some clicks and impressions before they ever appear in charges or reports. For example, we may invalidate repetitive, incomplete, or otherwise abusive clicks, and we cap the number of times any user can see or click on particular ads in a day. We also monitor traffic and click patterns across the site and try to filter clicks that appear to be generated by bots or other automated systems. We work closely with our general spam and fraud fighting engineering team called "Site Integrity", which does great work trying to detect fake users, bots, and users infected with malware.

A lot of sophisticated advertisers use Facebook, and many of them perform all kinds of validation of the effectiveness of their advertising on our site. Many advertisers also use various analytics systems to monitor the clicks they receive through our ads platform.

We are constantly working with advertisers and partners to help ensure we deliver ads that are valuable to our users and advertisers. We care about this area of work a lot.
Also, that "2 billion requests per day" might sound silly to someone who serves that in an hour...

I'm sorry that my statement is bothering you. I'm going based on numerous conversations with people considering using Fastly. It's quite possible that I have a skewed sample, however I'm not intentionally spreading FUD, for what that's worth.

I don't understand why the bots click on the ads? Of course an old school crawler would just "click" on any link on the page, but I would assume most ads are included by JavaScript and would therefore not be crawled by standard crawlers?
A proxy that would change parts of the page. Specifically I'm thinking something to make the web more useful from my Kindle, so rewrite new-window links into regular ones, replace links to PDFs with google docs, and maybe simplify pages a bit (article mode is pretty good at that to be fair). I guess "instapaper in proxy form" would also solve the problem.

Probably fairly niche, but it was the first thing I could think of.
Can you explain what it means to "check the data"? The point here is that, for the last year, Twitter has NOT been generating sequential IDs. Just look at the source code[1]. They save a few low bits for the worker ID, data center, and worker-specific sequence. The highest bits are the timestamp bits.

Maybe you can correct me if my assumptions based on the code are wrong, but my guess is you'll magically find that Twitter's highest ID grows linearly with time. Then you're just randomly sampling within this maximum timestamp. At this point you're assuming that Twitter sees a constant rate of signups wrt time, which I highly doubt.

What I did was to measure the difference in yield between uniformly generated ids that would correspond to the time after Snowflake (when ids were at 380M) and the ones before. It's true that the yield is less. It went down from about 86% to 82%.

A separate problem is that my estimate of the highest id at the time of the experiment likely fell short. Since then I've encountered higher ids that are pretty sparse, but I don't know how many there are.

Do you have any ideas as to how to generate a better sequence of random ids that tracks Twitter ids after Snowflake? I'd like to redo this experiment in a while.

I am unsure if Facebook provides a service like AdSense to motivate this kind of behavior. It would be interesting if to see how they could fight this type of behavior though.

1. Make the split uneven. For example for every dollar advertiser pays, only 30 cents goes to the page owner who received the "Likes"

2. Lobby to make these kinds of activity illegal. They are after all spamming activities

3. These kinds of fake account farms will usually have very few connections to outside world. That is, accounts that do not obey the "Six Degrees of seperation" should be flagged for human review.

4. Once reviewed enlist law enforcement help to track down the owners of the all the accounts in these farms.

Painstaking work, but I guess the point is that advantage can lie with Facebook as opposed to the spammer in this game. I am not sure about the ethical implications though.

Maybe this is why Google wants to succeed badly in the social space : extra spam fighting abilities.
There is actually another point to consider: employee satisfaction and recognition.
These ads are stressing the importance of the geniuses for apple. Kind of like intels "our rockstars aren't your rockstars" campaign, which emphasizes the fact that the researchers and engineers are really important for intels success.
I used to work as a researcher for another big software company and I would have loved such a spot, just to feel recognized. Our rockstars were definitely the sales people.
We like to think that the exact number of requests is less important than exactly how they're handled. While it would be cool to go "we serve a billion requests a second", we're still an early stage startup. We're spending more time making our responses even faster (< 1ms on the 99th percentile) and trying to provide things that no one else does (for instance, instant purging and surrogate key purging).

Please point me at the large available free hydrogen reservoir on Earth.

Sources of useful energy are not hugely abundant. And, in the case of nonrenewable energy sources, are consumed in the process of utilizing them.

If you're looking at the Earth's crust, it's 60% silica, with most of the remaining 40% being various highly oxidized compounds, including certain quantities of dihydrogen oxide.

I sympathize with the rather cold response from Google. However that was not a response from Google HR -- it was a response from a contract recruiter, and Google has hundreds of them. Because Google sees so many resumes that they can be picky. You may very well indeed be a top notch candidate so don't take it personally.

That said, as a Googler, I understand why they will hire non-SWE with phds in chemisty, neuroscience, or particle physics or what have you -- it's because Google has unique problems to think about that are not just pure software engineering. For instance, how do you scientifically evaluate the current search quality and ensure that it continues to improve? Google is very research-oriented and data-driven, and this spills over into the SWE work so it's not always 100% about building good software.
Sadly, that would leave a better impression than current Linux marketing efforts, of which there are effectively none...
I have seen some of this code (worked at Intuit briefly) and it is some of the most horrible Java (for web products) and C++ (desktop apps) code I have seen in my life. Admittedly this was a few years ago, but I've never ever seen such convoluted code anywhere, with (literally) thousands of cut and pasted fragments and poke-your-eyes-out code. You could look at a fragment of code and discover >1 in error every other line. I once asked my boss to select a random file of code from one of the flagship products and discovered 40 errors in 5 minutes (he was not happy, long story). It is a wonder these apps work as well as they do.

At the time they had this weird home brew mix of PSP and "agile" as their 'methodology' and while it generated a lot of meetings and paperwork, it didn't improve the code one bit. I am glad to know that they are moving towards better practices, but Intuit is the most technically inept organization I've seen, so I wouldn't be too hopeful of the end results. OTOH they do understand their customers (and marketing to them) really really well. I learned a lot from Intuit about these aspects of product dev. Which goes to prove you can make billions with totally screwed up engineering.
You're basically saying 'there is a point where the line between actual user and paid click-frauder becomes blurry'. Which is true, but that point is way beyond what is profitable, which is enough - you 'only' need to make your system hard enough to beat to make it not worth the effort.
Same here. But as soon as they follow me (well, when I check) I mark them as spam and Twitter deletes them from my "Followers" list. I think I'd have 3 times as much followers by leaving them there.
UK: TV should switch to internet, a parliamentary inquiry suggests

As an American I don't find this feeling foreign at all. I would be interested to find out whether this was more of a personality or a nationality thing (and whether it couldn't be controlled by using different accents with the same script, etc.)
But that is the point, you get rate limited. Of course you can take the data set and clean it in your own database. The problem is how much relevant data you can get before getting cut off.
Aside from what the other poster said about work-relevant hobbies, having hobbies on your resume can be handy for the interviewer. It allows some chit-chat to put the candidate at ease.

It's typical here to put them at the very bottom. I've have interviewers in the Valley use the put-at-ease technique on me, so it must happen in the States too.

I'm Stuart, co-founder of chatterbox.co.

For a startup, getting to market as quickly as possible is great.. what you don't want though is a half baked product. Mashape allowed us to focus on building awesome sentiment analysis, so that we didn't have to bother about billing, rate limiting, etc and all the DB infrastructure that runs behind it. Certainly worth checking out, especially if all your stuff uses JSON anyway (which it should!).

Tractor-Trailer Hits Vehicles in Upstate Work Zone
Six people, including three children, were killed on an upstate road on Thursday when a tractor-trailer rear-ended a vehicle in a work zone and caused a chain-reaction crash, the State Police said. Five of those killed were riding in a sport utility vehicle that was part of the crash and which burst into flames after it was hit, Trooper Jack Keller said. The tractor-trailer ran into the back of one vehicle, causing collisions with a State Transportation Department truck and the S.U.V., which was registered in New York. The vehicles had stopped or were moving slowly because of road repaving on Route 11 in the Jefferson County town of Antwerp. The driver of the Transportation Department truck was Lewis Lottie Jr., 44, of Nicholville, N.Y., Trooper Keller said, and he was flown to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse with head and chest injuries. The tractor-trailer driver was identified as James A. Mills Jr. of Myerstown, Pa. He was taken to a hospital for treatment continue
