>Answer: I think it's really true. A suprisingly large fraction of the smartest programmers in the world do* work here.*

Not so sure about this. There are people that are smart for solving math problems and IQ style quizzes and such, and there are also people that are smart with language, patterns, empathy, creativity etc ("Emotional Intelligence" also doesn't cut it to describe this kind of smart completely).

I've met several IQ 140+ people that are basically stupid in lots of ways and incompetent of doing anything with their lives, much less contribute to society. Some of them thrive only on some small niche areas (like chess or speaking many languages).

I think there are smart programmers in both of the categories that I have described, and a process like Google's is mainly getting the first kind.

I'm a web developer with 7+ years of professional experience. I love to be challenged with a problem and be given the opportunity to design and build the solution. While my main expertise is in front and backend web development, I've also been building iOS apps for the last 8 months. I'm good at quickly grasping new technologies or languages and using them to come up with creative solutions to business problems. I'm currently employed, but I'm open to new opportunities, networking, or fun side projects.
If one has been labeled 'smart' at one point or another (maybe when very young), one may also begin to identify with that label. The label becomes the identity. And, at that point, it becomes quite difficult to accept 'being wrong' because it's an attack on one's identity and reputation.

This seems to have become worse in the Internet-age, where a lot of 'smart' people have had their reputations branded into the permanent record. So much arrogance, rudeness, vitriol, etc. in order to 'win' at being 'smart'.

Ironically, I have recently discovered that it's often easier to channel Socrates and just act stupid. It's way too hard to be smart, these days. And, given that there's so much new shit to learn, who really wants to be?

Khitchdee is a dish made from rice and lentils, common man's food popular throughout India. It's cooked in one pot and easy to digest. It's one of the first foods given to infants and to people who have an upset stomach.

Khitchdee the term therefore connotes a mix-up.

Our company Khitchdee explores the mix-up of music and computing gadget technology. We build software apps to help produce music. We produce our own music using these apps. We also build technology with elements from the practice of music specially timing elements. For example we explore comm protocols that use rhythm to enhance info exchange. We're building a coding tool based on this work.

We look for an intern who's into music, at least plays one instrument confidently and has had a technical education so can design and write code along with us. This an expenses only internship. We don't pay a stipend like other people. At the end of this two month trial period, we may choose to offer you a full time job. We're looking for brilliance, we'll make it worth it.

>Smart people actively seek evidence that they are wrong - finding evidence that you're right doesn't prove anything. A single piece of evidence that you're wrong shows everything.

This only holds if you define "smart people" to be this way. Which is kind of a tautology.

I you use the common meaning of the word, or even just check what people other people consider "smart", you'll find out that they don't always fit your description.

I think to be practical it's best to see who people label as smart, and then note what attributes they have. Instead of starting from the attributes that you think a smart person should have (because then you just made your own definition, and it doesn't describe what most people see).

I'll send my PhD dissertation in a week or so, where I present 3 years of work on models and protocols for the security of wireless ad-hoc networks. I do not have any industrial experience yet, but three years of doctoral studies plus a total of a year of various internships make up for it. I have worked on routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, a model to analyze network-based intrusion detection systems based on their inputs, definitions of the very meaning of routing security, and before this, some work on the infrastructure for computing grids.

Asides from ad-hoc networks, I have kept up-to-date with other forms of security, through CTFs (Matasano's are awesome, by the way). I am still a developer at heart who loves to learn new things and make systems elegant. I also taught the basics of algorithmics and C at my university for the last three years. Although I am mostly using Perl these days, I do have some experience with Python, Ruby, C++, and Ada.

I am still unsure of what the next steps are for me. I have cultivated a strong variety of skills, and I would like to cultivate that variety and keep learning new things. If this rings true to you, and there is a need for people like me in your company, drop me a line !
UV actually doesn't penetrate grease very well. At least that's the story we told each other in the dinosaur decades when our eprom erasers wouldn't erase a chip in time, well, wipe that quartz window with solvent and try again.

Aside from someone who doesn't know anything about UV finding a way to bypass the interlocks and blinding themselves.

As a cooking technique I wonder if you could do anything interesting with strong UV. Literally bleach color from the surface of something. Could you bleach the surface of an angelfood cake to be pasty white yet baked? Might take a higher than sane UV flux for an impractically long time...

Another weird idea: Refrigerator UV bulb. Not entirely insane, well, probably. At least in the raw produce drawer.

If you refuse to take any responsibility in life, Bitcoin is not for you.
Personal Accountability is about more than just admitting you were wrong. Sometimes it's about admitting that you didn't have enough information to make a definite choice. In you hypothetical situation while you didn't do anything wrong you still had something to learn.

If you don't look back and see what information would have allowed you to pick B and instead go oh well, there was nothing I could have done differently. Guess it was just inevitable. You will miss an opportunity to learn and possibly do better next time. That missed opportunity is an example of arrogance in action.

Thanks! Good question.

I wanted two things from this project: get it up and running as quickly as possible and learn Go. That's why I programmed an MVP in Python while I finished the backend in Go. I figured that if I waited for the Go code to be finished I may have never shipped it.

I'm still going to use Python for the raspberry Pi, since I don't know any serial port libraries for Golang (well, a quick google search shows me an option: https://code.google.com/p/goserial/) and anyways that part is already working fine.

But if I find the time then yeah, I'd totally rewrite it entirely in Go. But there's many things I'd do before that:

- Live streaming with a Pi NoIR camera (WebRTC + a paid CDN I guess).

- Visualization and data analysis. I'm thinking github-style punchcard for the running activity, and when you click a day you can analyse the minute-by-minute laps.

- Correlation with other sensors. I have temperature, humidity, and ambient light sensors, which could be use to correlate the activity or even predict it.

- Public API.

Code should be written for humans and compiler should optimize the algorithm. If the compiler can't optimize properly then I think one should still write the original algorithm into an adjacent comment.

So I would've rather written:

int padded_size(int size)
int remainder = (size % 2048);
bool needsPadding = (remainder > 0);
if (!needsPadding) {
return size;
}
return size + (2048 - remainder);

.com is US-owned, so it wouldn't have to. See e.g. megaupload
Could it be that you're not prepared for "What is really happening"? It seems like you'r expecting that QM's unintuitive properties will go away with a better theory.

They may, but it doesn't have to be that way. It may just be that reality at that scale is not made of trajectories, balls, and simple causality. As evolved monkeys with 5 senses we are used to intuitive concepts like continuity, predictions, trajectories, objects.

Now imagine a world 1,000,000 times smaller. Will it behave, look and feel the same way? Maybe. Let's shrink it 10,000 times again. Now we are at the size of an atom. Does the landscape look familiar? It may be so unfamiliar that trying to shoehorn our monkey intuitive world-view is helpless.

No objects, no concept of position, no matter as "substance occupying a space", no limitations regarding being in different places at the same time. It may well be that things are so different that it's best described as a mathematical abstract world ... because no intuitive structures and behaviours exist there. (Heisenberg has some interesting correspondence with Bohr on the matter)

It would be like trying to search for Mario inside your nintendo. Mario and his physics only live as abstract equations. Taking apart the computer will not show us what Mario's flesh is made of. The analogy can't be taken too far of course, because there is no known "chip" besides the mathematical structure of the universe.

There is plenty of research on quantum reality (from one of my colleagues, for eg. http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.1149), but it may turn out that there isn't an easy "particle does X when it enters Stern-Gerlach". The concept of particle is probably completely inadequate.
I'm tired of this meme; it is way overstated. You could just as easily say "the curse of smart people is arrogance, because they know just how stupid the people around them are." I can assure you, I've known plenty of incredibly smart people who were quite arrogant.
