You say you are a victim of ageism, but I don't see much in this story to support that conclusion. The interviewer apparently thought you were cheating... or at the very least he was incompetent to recognize the quality of your code. But those are totally different from discriminating against you because of your age.
But I really think that I never learned those concepts in the first place. All I learned were rules to solve the problems given to me. For example I actually did remember the "chain rule". But those rules had no meaning to me, just moving numbers around. Which means I would never be able apply it to anything. For example, calculus clearly has applications all across basic physics. But I never really made that connection. All this makes me think that exams are much, MUCH less effective at measuring comprehension than we think.
Uber for private jets? No idea how they're going to land the plane out front of my house, but I'll definitely download the app and give it a try.
Looking at the official statement about the unlocking exemption (pages 16-20 of https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.g...), it sounds like the software on the phone controlling its access to the carrier is a copyrighted work. So if you want to circumvent protections against modifying it, you have to wrangle with the DMCA.
The 100 questions article does mention Joel's test. I think the Joel test is mostly obsolete (it is 12 years old after all), but the obsolete parts of it can usually be fixed with either a more precise or more fuzzy question that the 100 questions may offer you so you don't need to come up with it on your own. e.g. on hallway usability tests, I think you learn more from a general "do you test the UI for usability?" which may indicate hallway tests, A/B testing, alpha or beta users, or even a response of "No, we know what works and the user will love it (and bend to our will if they don't) and companies that imitate us will get sued".
Think "load balancing service" when you see "traffic router" in this case. This was not necessarily a case of physically rebooting a Juniper or something.
Far too many developers still believe in he fairy tail that a product will "sell itself" without any effort.

Innovation requires development + distribution.
First the product is created in the mind of the hacker. Then it's created in the mind of the buyer (distribution, marketing, sales, awareness). Practically speaking, in the mind of the consumer, a product he/she is unaware of occupies the exact same space as one that doesn't exist (or in this case non-space, lol)
But Safeway has delivery, and you can use your coupons with it. What is instacart's advantage over Safeway's delivery?
I do have knowledge of the iTunes store. Unfortunately, it's content is saddled with DRM that prevents me from watching it where I want and how I want. It's data that forces me to use iTunes, of which I am not a fan. It's data that prevents me from sharing music with my friends, even on a temporary basis (e.g. the equivalent of a mix-tape).

Additionally, I have a Nook and while I like the device, the DRM means that I really don't own those books, and I'm not excited by the idea of B&N yanking my books (or worse, editing them behind my back). I'd like to keep my own copy that didn't rely on their reader, but without breaking the law and stripping the DRM, I can't do that.

Honestly, I'm not sure if there is a reasonable solution that gives consumers the convenience that they want, and the rights-holders the revenue they deserve. If this can't be done, then it may turn out to be the case that "selling information to consumers for profit" was a passing fad of the late second millenium.
I'm not arguing that trade can't work, I'm arguing that a market in water would be a magnet for abuse and exploitation. The problem I often have with these sorts of economic debates is that economists tend to see politics as an after-thought, something that will "take care of itself" and can assumed away or ignored. The devil is in the details, and economists hate details.

I don't recall where I heard it, but one of my favorite quotes is that economics takes as its domain the set of solved political problems. Based on a quick search it was Abba Lerner. Galbraith has a similar quote about this issue. Saying that trade in water will get it to where it needs to be implies that there are no political issues involved.

Will every politician really just sit back and tolerate net outflows of precious water? Doubtful. What about "bubbles" in a hypothetical water market? Even if you assume that the government usually causes market bubbles by meddling, they still happen. Is there any reason to believe they would not happen in a market for water? A housing or tech stock bubble is unfortunate, a water bubble could be devastating.

My point is that a formal, large-scale commodity market for water could, and probably would, be manipulated beyond recognition as a means to achieve political aims and personal enrichment (of the less-than-savory kind). This is not an economic problem. The efficiency of markets is completely irrelevant if the actual, existing markets themselves are inefficient. The problem, it seems to me, is a political one, and it has not been solved.
Here is a link to what Amazon posted about the outage a few days ago. I actually wrote this post originally with the later examples, not realizing that Amazon had actually posted another great one about the latest outage, but when I went looking to find out how long that outage was I was greatly pleased to find another AWS message I get to read.

https://aws.amazon.com/message/680342/

(Ah, apparently it was only just submitted to HN about an hour ago by someone, and is about to fall off the front page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4705067)

This is what Amazon posted during the really large outage last year (the one that still only affected multiple availability zones for at most an hour or so):

http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/

I can't find a link on Amazon's website, but this is a copy/paste from the explanation of a smaller outage that occurred a earlier this year:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4124488

Amazon's explanations are, I find, much more detailed (although this App Engine one was pretty good): when something serious goes wrong at AWS, we often not only get an apology (and a service credit), but we learn something about how distributed systems work in the process.

When we don't see explanations from Amazon is when a subset of the servers within a single availability zone (not even an entire zone) are inaccessible for less than an hour (which occasionally happens); otherwise, they honestly "kick ass" at post-mortem, as the above examples show.

However, it is my understanding that Google has had all kinds of random issues that only affected some customers that are dealt with in private, so that isn't different with them. The outage this morning, however, was "all of App Engine doesn't work anymore", something that has never even happened to AWS.

(Now, during the issue, Amazon really really sucks to the point where I'd often rather them say nothing than to keep having their front-line keep reassuring people; that said, in the middle of a crisis, most systems/people suck.)
Invite only baby. Trying to figure out how to get an invite code.
I think of NeXT as Jobs' "second system effect", he tried to get everything right.

There does not seem to be any indication to the user of what they're supposed to do to get the next slide, or even that there is a next slide.

EDIT: Well, OK, now that I maximized there is. But there was no indication that I was missing content to the left or right either. I appreciate simplicity but you gotta give first time users something to get them going.
one reason why the bittorrent layer could make better decisions on what to flush is because it always need to hash pieces that are downloaded. When blocks are downloaded out of order, it doesn't make sense to flush unhashed blocks before ones that the the hash cursor has already passed. If an unhashed block is flushed, it will have to be read back from disk again, when the piece complete, which is very expensive.
Well, if you know a bit more about sync, there are different types of it(One way, two way, 'echo only' etc.). Sure, I failed to understand all of how Dropbox worked (and that's why lost my files), but probably the previous sync software like SyncToy from MS had pampered me. Have you ever done contacts syncing on phones? If you look properly, it will give you all different options for syncing. Many sync software are extremely cautious about deleting multiple files on the server, and that is what I was expecting from Dropbox too.
Different software communities have different opinions on what makes life better for programmers.

As far as I can see, programming language researchers are just a subset of those communities with their own sets of beliefs. On average researchers are much smarter and better educated than most programmers. However it is likely that the majority of the smartest and best educated people are NOT in academia. (Before doubting that, remember there is an eternal brain drain of top people from academia to industry for the simple reason that industry pays more.)

In the case of the developers of Go, we are talking about people who I believe to be smarter than the vast majority of programming language researchers, and who _definitely_ have more experience around large software systems. They have come to different opinions about what makes that kind of development work. People like Ken Thompson and Rob Pike might not be right, but it would be unwise to assume that they are necessarily wrong simply because they disagree with a bunch of programming language researchers.
Who's door do I have to beat down to get one?
Your theory appears to be that the minority of privacy-focused individuals are weird outliers in preference. but my impression is that they are weird outliers in knowledge.

When I talk with non-technical relatives about their internet use, privacy is a major issue for them.

They know, for example, that Facebook knows a lot about them, which scares them. They don't know how much ad providers track them, but if you tell them they're more scared. Facebook is at least a known entity that provides them some benefit. Shadowy private companies profiling them is a lot harder to get comfortable with.
Many sync software offer multiple types of sync (e.g. MS SyncToy), and many are extremely cautious before deleting multiple files. Dropbox didn't do that. Yes, I failed to totally understand how did it work, as I deleted one of the root level folders and expected it'd not sync a folder which is not there on the local machine, but one of the duties of software is to prevent or try to reduce common human errors.
The hilarious part is that they believe no DNT signal does express an intent to be tracked. Heads, they win. Tails, you lose.
The way I like to think of it is that a large component of PL design is making something pleasant for humans to use, which is more of an art than a science: inherently subjective (not everyone likes the same things), holistic (it's not any one feature of Python that makes it Pythonic, it's the whole philosophy), and hard to quantify. So it's no surprise that rigorous design is not the prime factor in popularity of programming languages.

I don't think, however, that really explains why research languages these days have very little in common with popular languages - why purity and strict types and all their baggage, despite their promise to make software less buggy, have not been widely adopted. There are a few reasons why this might be the case (not just "FP is hard and most programmers aren't very good at programming", although that is one factor), but their sum seems to be something fundamental about software design - perhaps changeable, but identifiable as a unit, not simply a consequence of the limitations of rigorous design.
I hope so, I really enjoyed Founders at Work. I read it when I was 16, loved making things on the web but had no idea about startups in the Valley, being from London. Jessica's talk at Startup School felt like an update, which was great.
I was accepted besides my out of states degree and no experience working in big startups. And unlike daeken I was never featured in any publications nor I have impressive resume :) I am wondering what criteria I did fit...

Anyway, got zero offers. Oh well. :)
I'm similar to the author in that I hated school forever, yada yada, but I feel like there's something between learn and work. I've always been (hubris alert) far more learned than my peers in nearly every subject, but the things that didn't come easily I was weak on - higher math was really the only thing that didn't.

I think the main problem wasn't learning per se - I learned whatever I needed to do my technical personal projects with ease (chemistry, programming, electronics, etc.), but what I lacked was something like "how to work" which was really a kind of short-term dedicated focus that math so requires. Higher math is banging your head against a concept until ::pop:: - that's easy! I never banged my head enough - so whatever that is - it's a major problem that we need to overcome.

This all goes back to why so many engineering students, like me, dropout of these programs because we have shortcomings in overcoming these initial problems. Schools need to identify this aggressively and provide some kind of scaffold that will allow these students to learn this focus/work type of skill.

Also - the baggage the term "work" in our (US) culture makes it a bad item to focus on when improving a system. "Bad work ethic" is often a symptom of these types of problems.
2 slight corrections, for clarity:

...

2) ... smallest even integer in that sequence greater than 8 ...

3) ... by definition less than or equal to 8 ... will still be less than or equal to 8, and all inputs less than or equal to 8 terminate

...

Everything hinges on odds being as or less likely than evens which I believe I show initially "for 2n-1 (clearly odd), f(2n-1) = 3(2n-1)+1 = 2(3n-1), which is clearly even"; at least one even must follow every odd and, additionally, since there are only evens and odds, every odd must have been immediately preceded by an even. It's definitely an innocuous observation, but it justifies a walk all the way down to 8 by exhausting the (3) possible routes through the evens.
They only disable access, not delete. There was once a court case where the defendant got the court to compel the plaintiff to alter their robots.txt in order to allow the defendant to gather evidence from the archive. (Apparently, the Archive managed to convince the court that manually producing the info hidden in the archive would be too onerous.)
It sounds like you had interviews from irritating doofuses that thought they were brilliant. I don't know if it was ageism, but it sounds like could have been that you weren't doing things exactly as they were so they were unable to recognize your talent. (And they were to arrogant to look at it from another viewpoint.)
It's not difficult to argue that torrenting websites -- and ThePirateBay in particular -- are treated particularly harshly due to their obstinate flouting of American civil law, in addition to so quickly dismissing legal challenges to their existence.

Or more to the point it is retribution, and punitive measures are imposed as a warning to others.

I am by no means arguing for (or against) the concept of IP and the laws surrounding it, however the entire situation leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Google Calc is a bit behind the curve. The proper prefixes for 2^30 and 2^50 are gibi and pebi, not, as you point out, giga and peta.

JSF Error Pages That Actually Work
You say "they" like all advertisers support this initiative. They don't. I was careful not to include all.

I can assure you that not everyone will follow it. Google is a part of NAI and they were found guilty by the FTC to be circumventing Safari preferences.

> the benefits of the DNT scheme

The benefit of the DNT scheme was to kill the lie that most users don't care. If 99% of users take positive action to change a default and say "Don't track me", it's believable. If a browser vendor says this, it's not.

Bear in mind that Do Not Track has _zero_ technical merit; it's equivalent to the "evil bit" prank RFC. Any merit it has must be political.

The value in DNT was going to be that we could convince advertisers that normal users do, in fact, care, and do, in fact, not want to be tracked. IE's decision is squandering what DNT attempts to communicate, and squandering that value. And so when you see advertisers _and_ web server developers rejecting IE 10's DNT indicator, that doesn't mean that the advertisers or web server developers are bad people -- that just means that you lost the politics.

The absence of weekly HN posts.
It's not only about having enough storage. It also enables interoperability. I love being able to take a whole bunch of snaps with my camera, rip out the micro SD card and then shove it in my tablet and show everyone the photos instantly - no silly syncing, transferring, copying etc.
in their pilot, they used a "Credit" system. I think it worked out to a couple bucks a package.

The service is free till the end of 2012. I imagine partnering with shipping companies is in the works. If I recall correctly, the founders are also partnering with some major retailers (I believe Wal-Mart Canada was mentioned), so this could mean free BufferBox services or just a partnership for locker placement. I doubt it's simply locker placement, why would Wal-Mart want you to pick up your Amazon packages in their store?

Contrary to the parent, the company hasn't partnered with any major shipping companies, but a courier company to handle the fulfillment to the actual BufferBoxes.
The SAT is an important measure of a humans intelligence and performance in the real world, that's why the best companies always filter candidates and select the ones with highest SAT scores.

It's a good thing we have tests like these and pay large sums of money to the people who maintain it. Otherwise interviewing might be totally screwed up and completely fail at its intended purpose in this country.

You're right, photos can be irreplaceable and I'm probably going to change how I back them up now. My choice of what is and isn't in Dropbox isn't actually based on importance -- but on what I both want on my laptop, but would want to restore if the laptop were stolen. Kind of weird criteria, but it (at one time) made sense to me.
Attack of the week: Cross-VM timing attacks
Sell my startup - Mu6.me
Mu6.me (http://mu6.me) is a social sharing service. It`s fast, easy-to-use and cross-platform. You can easily share your music file to your friends with only 3 step without register. It also has an intelligent music detection to read the detailed information from uploaded music. Mu6.me is massive with Facebook social traffic and the top 8,000 website of Taiwan. Everything sounds good, and I love my startup.
Well, as the founder of Mu6, I have a lot of personal reason that I have no enough funds and resource to continue keep Mu6 servicing now, so I want to sell this startup to one of company that can keep Mu6 servicing for the world.

If any companies interested please contact me directly.

Or if you are the kind of person who can help me to sell this to other companies, you will 5%-10% of the price.

My email is angel.lai.cat@gmail.com

Looking for you, thank you!
Cascading failures are a recurring theme in outages among many interconnected systems. The Northeast blackout of 2003 is one such example.
Psychologically 10% free sounds more generous than one month free
Yes, this is true. It looks like steam.com wasn't the particular case I was thinking of; one such instance with what must have been another company, the landing page basically made it clear the owner was squatting the domain to piss of the company that wanted it.

Loving the racist comments on HN these days.
This is a cool idea, and I love the convenience of deploying a single-binary app when using Go for servers.

When deploying web servers, though, I'd prefer to leave the images and other static resources out of my binary, because this means I can use an rsync-based deployment with --copy-dest and --link-dest. --copy-dest means that deployments are blazingly fast (I only have to copy changed files) and --link-dest means that deployments are cheap on space (unchanged files are hardlinked to the copies). Granted, bandwidth and storage are cheap and getting cheaper, but it still adds up, particularly for large server clusters.
I too am very puzzled by this comment.
That's one interpretation, but from what little information they offer it seems their initial "reboots" (of whatever form) introduced asymmetric traffic loads that blew out some segments, after which they chased fixes for a couple hours.
Can't you also change your cookie settings to require your to accept any cookie that wants to be set? I think we'd see less cookie abuse these days if 10 years ago browsers defaulted to asking users to store cookies. You can also disable all third-party cookies, which can help minimize tracking also.

Yes, I come from Ruby & JS world and before that I use to work with VB.net. I had not problems picking up Go. The hardest part of Go to understand was the implementation of interfaces.

Best thing I like about Go is the error handling, its great for defensive programming (which help as I write a lot of service applications).
