You didn't read it wrong, but you probably did fail the test ;-) There is no gotcha in the question, it's just a math problem that you either do or do not know how to solve. This isn't really about intelligence as much as it is about whether you have taken a course on probability. If you flipped 10 heads in a row the probability of the coin you have being the double heads coin increases dramatically, so you have to take that into account for the next flip. For intuitive understanding it often helps to go to extremes. Suppose you do 1 billion flips and all come up heads. What is the probability that the next flip comes up heads? Because we had 1 billion heads it is virtually certain that we are dealing with the double heads coin, so the probability that the next flip will come up heads is close to 1.
That snooping at a room at AT&T became part of a lawsuit that threatened to reveal more about the wiretapping program but it was squashed by congress, including Obama, when they voted to give AT&T and other telecoms that broke the law at Bush's behest retroactive immunity.

Not sure what your point is as to how that relates to Snowden.
There are two ways to define a function:

var func = function(){};
function func(){};

The example above is doing both at the same time... don't know if it's a mistake on their part or not.

However they're probably wondering if the user knows about scope and other such things. Inside the brackets we have a new scope but it has access to top level scope as well. They want to know that you know that stuff.

Try any of the two lines above in a js console (in browser) then type:

window.func
this.func
func

The result should be the same.
While the gap between moral and technological progress may be known, the argument here is that it becomes increasingly dangerous as technological progress accelerates relative to moral.

I think it would be a huge mistake to assume that the gap is an inherent part of human existence. Our morality results as a product of our brain and our culture. We can potentially use technology to remedy parts of our brain or our brain chemistry to enhance morality.

Of course, this in itself is a dangerous moral undertaking, but it is a possibility, one that perhaps needs greater research attention.
I am not sure what to say ? Honestly, why you exist ? No seriously. You don't want to raise babies, want everything that is gold plated , everything that looks good and count only in $MM. Do you think having penis makes life easy ? Answer is NO. There are large scale difficulties faced by men also. I honestly think we should strive for equality rather than making it gender specific. It always comes down to individual to grab that part of success.
my nexus s with cm 10.2 is not eligible for this app (i'm in italy).
so i can't save up money for the nexus 5 and download the app. it's a never-ending problem.
It's a mess, that's what the problem is. Just look at this thread and the number of ways that sometimes work in certain cases to do basic operations. Some of this is the added complexity of additional desktops (which I agree are awesome and sorely missing in Windows), but some, like switching windows in the same app, are a usability disaster. Here's a short list from this thread for something which is universally ctrl+tab (and shift+ctrl+tab for the other direction) in Windows:

- Mission Control

- cmd+tab

- cmd+`

- ctrl+f4

- Switch, a tool which enables Opt+tab

- contextsformac

- cmd+~ (only in some cases)

The FBI Warns Retailers About Thieves Armed With Foil
It still seems like an ideal way to inculcate learned helplessness, though. (And I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that getting beat up at his hands suggests you're already pretty well "on a bully's bad side.")

I grew up in Mississippi. Firearms were pretty ubiquitous; especially as I got into high school, a lot of kids I went to school with were already experienced hunters -- you could always tell the first day of hunting season by the way your classes were suddenly half empty -- and it wasn't all that uncommon for someone old enough to drive to school to have a rifle or a shotgun locked in his trunk. In spite of what might seem like a fertile environment for such enormities, no bully ever shot anyone.

But, to someone who's familiar with the history of school shootings, this should not come as a surprise. Perhaps the first instance of the modern spate was Luke Woodham's rampage in 1997, a case near and dear to my interest in the matter both for having happened while I was in high school and for having happened in my own home state. Woodham's "manifesto", as excerpted by Wikipedia, reads as follows:

> I am not insane, I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society, push us and we will push back. ... All throughout my life, I was ridiculed, always beaten, always hated. Can you, society, truly blame me for what I do? Yes, you will. ... It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony saying that if you can't pry your eyes open, if I can't do it through pacifism, if I can't show you through the displaying of intelligence, then I will do it with a bullet.

This is, again, the first instance of a pattern all but ubiquitous among the type: it's not bullies who kill, but rather their victims, who believe their actions to be their last resort in self-defense. Bullies have no reason to kill; they do what they do because it suits them, for whatever reason, to inflict pain, and you can't do that to a corpse. Their victims, on the other hand, can reach a point where killing seems the only option available, not just to defend themselves from those specific people who beat them, but in a larger sense to reclaim their agency and their power of self-determination, and that's the wellspring from which this sort of violence flows.
Yeah, I stopped reading it due to the huge font being too hard to read.

I agree with enraged_camel, but not for the straightforward reasons. First, as a non-technical founder who recently learned (basic) coding skills, I can confirm his first and third claims - learning to program does make it easier to find developer support and it will greatly improve your appreciation for the technical aspects of the business.

However, most important should be the second claim since learning to code will help you build a crude MVP, allowing you to reach customers and validate your idea. In this sense, enraged_camel and OP are both correct because they both point back to the same concept of reaching customers.

IMHO though, it comes down to what value a company is providing. If it is a tech start-up where the software product is the main value-add, then a core competency must include programming. If it is a real estate start-up with a website, then learning to code can probably be pushed off in favor of customer development. So in the OP's case, the question would be, are we in business to build a SaaS tool to help teams or are we satisfied helping team management improve in any way possible?
Well, that's what he was talking about, terrain isn't a problem if you don't mind blasting and clearing things or building lots of tunnels. It's expensive, but it's technologically possible.
I've actually been building this the last few months. One of the subtleties are bills or payments that appear on weekdays only, or the nearest weekday to a given date. I'm being careful to handle all these edge cases.

I have pretty good credit card projections implemented as well, including the rules for computing minimum payments.
I'd say the very fact that most Bitcoins weren't created in the first few hours is a good indicator that there are no time travellers. Or if travellers do exist, access to time travel has been restricted, or perhaps Bitcoins and possibly even currency is not of interest in the future.

In fact, time travel could render investments obsolete.

Git's pretty well baked straight into Visual Studio now that it's built into the latest version of Team Foundation Server.

"The fifth line" on the Soviet passport which listed the bearer's "nationality" (what we would usually call ethnicity in English) was only removed from Russian passports in 1997.

Bit of an aside, but this used to be pretty common. Religion, in practice a proxy for ethnicity, was only removed from Greek identity cards in 2000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_identity_card#Removal_of_...

(It's a proxy for ethnicity in Greece because religion has traditionally been rooted in ethnic groups in the region, so whether someone's card said "Greek Orthodox" indicated whether they were ethnically Greek, vs. a member of the Turkish or Albanian minorities.)

Wouldn't it be more useful to examine the stock and options markets for evidence of time travel? If I had a time machine, I would almost certainly try to use it for personal profit with maximum secrecy, rather than giving myself away by blathering about the future over Twitter.

Also, the study does not rule out Back to the Future style time travel, Terminator style travel, or Primer style traveler isolation protocols. Nor does it rule out multiple universe theories, such that future events become unpredictable to a past-traveler within a very short period of time due to the butterfly effect.
So if you do arbitrary stuff which kind of makes sense to make a webapp more attractive (or not) we call this "growth hack" now? That's just ridiculous.

I made something very similar to this watch a while back for the homepage of my website (http://kronopath.net/). It's a seven-handed clock, with the longest three hands being your typical second, minute, and hour hands, but with each of the shorter hands taking longer to make a full cycle than the last. The shortest hand will finish its rotation when I turn 80, which is a (very loose) estimate for how long I have to live.

The fact that someone took this same idea and made it into a commercial product is interesting and a bit disconcerting, if only because I wish I'd thought of doing that first. But it's good to have a reminder that you have a very limited time to do whatever it is you want to do. It helps maintain a sense of forward pressure.

And if you need any more motivation, remember that 83 years is only roughly 1000 months long. What are you planning to do this month?

Why threads over processes? Because memory isn't cheap when you don't own it yourself.

There are three ways to define a function in Javascript; the third is exemplified in the example above, although it's not usually done with the same name for the variable and for the function.

The value of naming a function as you assign it to a variable is that, when an exception arises within the function body, your error log output contains the function name, which doesn't always happen when you simply do "var foo = function () {...}". (It's also handy when you're using an editor which doesn't understand Javascript well enough to understand that "var foo = function () {...}" actually creates a function named "foo"; in such cases, explicitly naming the function clues in the editor's parser, which simplifies code navigation.)

Although I am not advocating a technological slowdown (nor do I think one is even possible) -- I think a wiser people would inhibit technology "until we're ready." If the result of technological growth vastly outpacing our ability to responsibly handle its power is extinction, then it is easier to make an argument for the morality in technological caution.

> Vim did win the war; there's still nothing better

I'll just put this here for you:

https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/src/eval.c

Yes that's nearly 25,000 lines of mixed spaces and tab filled pre-C89 C with 492 occurrences of #idef, many appearing in the middle of a function definition. I recently ran vim with debug symbols compiled and it was nice enough to dump a nice 4GB regular expression log file in my project directory. The way to turn that off is to find some ifdefs and comment them out. If vim won then well, I'm not sure what winning means. I've switched to emacs with evil, which in my opinion is better than vim in a lot of ways.

There are honestly a lot of major linux distros now.

If your cross-platform environment's users are all Gentoo, Fedora, NixOS, Exherbo, Arch Linux, your own homebrew distro, and some OSes with another kernel(s), you may have really achieved cross-platform support without finding Ubuntu support.

My favorite cross-platform project supports Ubuntu, but is lacking Fedora support. It was a major stumbling block for me (just one day), but the dependencies are nothing special, you can compile libuv and libgmp, ncurses, openssl, and libsigsegv pretty much anywhere that I care about (Mac, Linux, BSD).

The only time it mattered for me is when I've got half an hour to give a presentation and the audience is supposed to compile and install the stuff I'm using, but unexpectedly found to be using Fedora and I don't know what packages to tell them to get.

Wouldn't that be indicating that Nagasaki and Hiroshima were better off destroyed rather than saved?

Wouldn't that also imply that the future would end up a better place if the World Trade Center was destroyed and the Iraq / Afghanistan wars did actually happen?

The two things above make me think that time travelling in the past (without a pre-built exit point) is never achieved.

Otherwise, someone would have came back and prevented them, unless that is too risky because then time-travel might not be invented.

Maybe time-travel creates an alternate universe and the original continues, but at-least life (and the time-travelers) have a chance in this new universe copy.

James Burke (BBC presenter and historian) said in his "Connections" series that around the late 1960's, things made of plastic became their "own things".

Previously, items made of plastic had to imitate some other existing thing for them to be accepted. Notebook covers had to imitate leather, complete with fake stitching. Telephones had to look like the older ones made of Phenol resin. And so on.

3D printing is at that stage right now. We're using it to imitate items made in traditional ways, and not treating it as a new process in it's own right. But given time, people will adopt it as something totally distinct from subtractive manufacturing.

Although I don't think female tech founders are going extinct or something I do believe based on data that they are a minority and that is not being blown out of proportion particularly - although I base that on the overall data that women are a minority in STEM fields in general. The idea that they are a minority is imo valid - but I don't think that itself is a problem - we are we not conversely worried about the minority of men in the care, fashion or sex industries for instance.

I think the point is that we expect our phone numbers to identify us in the real world but don't expect them to point to our handles online. If I use the same username on Snapchat that I do for something embarrassing like, say, my tumblr, someone who knows me IRL can look me up and find my more private online presence. This is just as real an issue as the reverse scenario in which Internet stalkers find out my phone number or something.

Now generally it's advisable to use a unique handle (or your real name) for a service so closely tied to a piece of real life identification like your phone number, but I don't think a lot of people do it.
