On the other hand, Nazi Germany was pretty much "the devil" back then, and quite rightly so. Germans were bombing Britain, causing massive disruption and fear.

We'd like to hope that modern societies would refrain from war crimes even in the face of fear and irrational anger, but in the "war on terror" this has happened again, albeit on a much smaller scale.

I prefer not to pass judgement. I believe we should seek peace rather than "truth" whenever we can.

It's easy to make a strong humanitarian argument against events when you remove all historical context from them and substitute in your own modern context.
Except from the childs perspective you are preaching ethics and equality and esoteric concepts about human rights and freedoms while they are in the now and immediately disassociated from their peer group due to dissimilar attachment to culturally normative and popular topics. It makes them resent you because they end up with few friends in a sea of those who will antagonize them for being different, even if those are the "good" friends you want them to have.

No companies in my country will offer me comparable salary to the one that companies in Bay Area bubble currently offer. Since I have no ties that prevent me from moving from here, it is in my best interest to leech the money from the bubble.

This is a common dilemma for poorer countries sharing the Western culture (e.g. the Baltic countries or central European ones) -- allow brain drain, but reduce unemployment, social unrest, and increase GDP via remittances, or fight with it, but deal with these problems locally.
Exactly this. A "pass" on that question consists of mentioning HTTP, DNS, and (perhaps with some prompting about what protocols underlie HTTP) TCP. A strong pass involves being able to tell me that DNS is usually UDP based, and being able to describe what distinguishes TCP from UDP. A very strong pass involves being able to describe in detail recursive DNS queries, talk about the fact that DNS can use TCP rather than UDP for queries or replies larger than what fit in a single packet, being able to tell me a bit about how TCP congestion control, sequence numbers, acks, Nagle's Algorithm, and the like work.

I should point out that I recently talked to a college junior who got a "very strong pass" on this question as a front-end intern candidate. If she can do that as a front-end oriented candidate with only a couple of years of experience in school, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a professional with several years of experience to have at least the basic knowledge that TCP exists.

Some people are stronger in one area than another; so I cover a number of areas, and expect them to do well on a majority, but not all, of the questions. Even if you fail this question, just saying that you don't know anything about networking, if you do well at all of the others we will bring you in for the in-person interview; we have recently hired someone who simply said "I don't know" on this question, and was a bit fuzzy on the big-O questions, but did fine on on all of the rest.
> that will make your solution hard to scale past simple widgets.

I am fully aware of this issue, again, this is a stop-gap between the jQuery mess we had and proper framework. This is not being used to run the whole front-end, it's only being used for components that are loaded on a page. And in fact the one page that we have that does a full re-draw on every change is actually extremely fast, you don't even notice it. Again, this is not to say it's the end goal, just a step on the staircase to a JS framework. Just getting away from building a component in PHP then modifying it in JS has been a huge win. My rule of thumb is logic should only be implemented in 1 language and so if you need to update/modify anything on the client side (which we almost always need to do, this is a Web App and not a website with some JS sprinkled in, even if that's how it started) you need to do it all in JS or else you get into a case all too easily where you edit the JS or PHP and not the other. Not to mention that if we wanted in the future we can alway render the first load on the server (using JS) and then subsequent renders could happen on the client with the same code.

I know this project uses browserify but by switching to webpack you could achieve the same thing without inline styles by exporting a style bundle. Take a look at the sass-loader[1] package which will let you configure webpack so that you can simply do a require('./style.scss'); and have the style included into either the main or a separate bundle.

Funny you should mention Nakamichi. I had one of their cassette recorders from about 1980, and a Panasonic receiver of the same vintage. I was under the impression that solid-state amplification had progressed to the point where you didn't need to worry about it anymore - until I unplugged my headphones from the receiver and plugged them into the recorder. What a revelation! From that point forward I had the hi-fi bug, although I never went overboard with it.

> I'm afraid Google doesn't pay his taxes like we, the tax payers, think it should...

I am sure the same could be said of every company beyond certain size (200-300 employees comes to mind, but this is just a wild guess), regardless of industry.

This is even the same for individuals. If you try to file taxes yourself (or have your employer do it for you, if possible), you will end up paying a higher rate than if you had taken the good sense of forking $100USD to some accountant to give you some basic advice. Of course this only works if you are wealthy enough that those $100US are marginal compared with what you would end up paying in taxes using the DIY approach.

"They will not, he said, work on behalf its corporate interests"

Unless it's the RIAA, MPAA, MAFIAA or American Oil Interests... in which case, it's business as usual.
It's the law of unintended consequences. Political people saw how much better off the college educated were way back when and decided that "everyone should go to college". What they did not understand was that scarcity of college grads and the socioeconomic signaling it provided were the true source of better life. The now "everyone is college educated" are no better off because of the signaling and scarcity has been lost.

It's deeply connected to socialist ideals to have everyone go to college. If people are upset that everyone going to college don't get to be ahead of everyone, then what they're really mad at is socialism, not college.
I think the worst thing is that so many of them force classes to move long at a fixed timeframe instead of letting everybody go at their own pace.
Good Luck! :)

Why is it wrong to bomb civilians? It doesn't seem to "break the will of the enemy", but what makes it "wrong"?

Don't the citizens have at least a little bit of responsibility for the actions of the government they chose to represent them?

> To lose 3-5 pounds per week is crazy! That's 10800 - 18000 calories less than used per week.

The actual range for the weekly calorie deficit is more like 1800 (3 pounds, 100% muscle @ 600 Cal/pound) to 17,500 (5 pounds, 100% fat @ 3,500 Cal/pound)

And if you are doing losing weight through calorie deficit with a basically sedentary lifestyle, the percentage of weight loss through fat is probably going to be no higher, and possibly substantially lower, than your starting body fat percentage. The key reason for working out while losing weight is maintaining muscle mass.

Doesn't matter if it's fact if it creates a nice narrative for increasing and securing funds and power.
You should consider total compensation and salary vs. just a salary. If you're looking at finance, people will have requirements for both a base salary and the total compensation. Looking at them in isolation doesn't work. Same thing if a large portion of your offer from say Google is in RSUs, that's not cash; but is essential for evaluating the economics of the offer.

Thats why I love home schooling and recommend it to others when possible (and a lot of the mid tier or senior engineers at many of the SV companies that frequent this site can easily have their spouses work part time or stay at home to raise their children optimally). Problem is that you often end up seeing career driven smart engineers marrying career driven smart spouses.

That isn't to say distance them from their own age group. They need tons of exposure to those their own age. But if you do that you can have them going to all the activities and clubs they are interested in in the evening while dodging the cult of personality and familiarity that is the public classroom. And if you can save your children from the brain drain, they will find myriad interests in a vibrant world for them to pursue.

Possibly alternatives A/B/C (you always have to have 3 alternatives, right?) are the Ask-Toolbar, a bitcoin-miner or adding the end-user-PC to a botnet for DDOS-extortion, so we can be lucky that they agreed to do "A".
Yet somehow Chinese and Russian cyberwar programs are pretty effective.

1. That vaunted "effectiveness" may be Just Another Missile Gap, i.e. a realistically non-existent threat used to drum up fear in the USA, to get greater funding from a terrorized public.

2. Lots of analysts say that both China and Russia tolerate unofficial hacking/cyberwar groups, as long as the targets are outside of China and Russia respectively. With some small amount of guidance done surreptitiously, the governments take advantage of a huge number of semi-criminals to serve "national security" needs without attribution.

3. Because of (2), ISO-9001, CMM level N don't apply. Faster coding. Similarly, Script Kiddies, Honkers and Nationalist Hackers don't do clearances, much less compartmentalized projects (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_clearance#Compartmente...) - this means that more people are available, from very diverse backgrounds, and they can collaborate and communicate as necessary.

Unless the USA is willing to quit being bureaucratic to the point of paralysis, it will never catch up.

> How is making a returning a new dynamic array worse than doing a O(n^2) implementation

Avoiding unnecessary allocations can easily mean the difference between missing a frame and not. Keep in mind that we frequently have to deal with bad mallocs and OSes/hardware without virtual memory capabilities.

The main reason I'd prefer O(n^2) vs O(n)+allocation is that I asked for an in-place solution, and there are definitely situations where you'd need to be able to do this (because of pointers to the array base, or because the caller doesn't have access to the allocator to release it, or you're using an arena and then allocating a new array means wasting the memory of the old one...).

Another reason that's a bit more subtle is that the O(n^2) is that it's much more likely to show up when profiling, unlike the allocation which will likely just make everything else slightly slower due to fragmentation.
So similar to Windows and avoidable but still annoying.

I can kind of understand some small software developers out there doing this stuff to make a few extra dollars but Oracle? It just seems so unnecessary. I guess they just can't get their head around giving something away for free.

Except getting into Windows isn't a thing, even today, and even for all but the most professional engineers behind huge companies with Microsofts ear. Literally the limit of Windows is registry editing and trying to reverse engineer the horrible contents of some file in system32. There are no guts to see, no knobs to tweak, because its one massive black box. Earlier OSes, even Mac OS, has to be much more open because resources were much more limited and you could not obscure the implementation behind the black box without degrading the experience too much. More performance let MS get away with that, and if not for modable game engines there would have been nothing in my childhood to tinker with.
Some of the English pilots involved regard the fire-bombing of Germany as a war crime. Indeed, one of the reasons it wasn't a war crime is because it no-one thought a country would bomb civilians and so "don't target civilians" didn't get written into any treaties.

The change in attitude throughout the war, starting from a position of "do not bomb civilians" and ending with "fire bomb civilian populations to kill as many civilians as possible, in a probably horrible way" is covered nicely in Max Hastings' book "Bomber Command".

English Bomber Command suffered heavy losses. About 55,000 aircrew died, of a total about about 125,000 men. (That's around a 44% death rate, which is uncomfortably close to a coin-toss.)

Whether you want to or not, it's your choice. However, the push towards DevOps as opposed to Dev is based on efficiency; it's easier to hire a developer that knows operations, instead of a developer and an operations employee. Even without DevOps, a lot of positions are Full Stack, so you need to know front and back-end development and technology. I don't think it's merely a trend, it's more or less a push towards saving money and time. If you don't want to be a full stack eng or a DevOps eng, then you're limiting yourself and you're limiting the opportunities you'll have. It sucks for those who want to limit themselves to one specific group of tasks instead of branching out, but it's just how it is.

These are two completely different things. A university gives a student a scholarship as a discount on a good the university provides, for which they would normally charge a price. The state funds research as an open-ended investment, and would normally not expect any fixed quantity of money or other assets in return. Since they weren't selling anything to Stanford or Page-and-Brin in the first place, they were investing, and are indeed due a share of the profits.

Opinion changed during the war. British bomber command started with the attitude of "don't bomb civilians". That was tricky because most major German cities had important factories and bombing was not very precise at the beginning of the war. But, still, the intent was to hit the factories and not the civilian populations.

It's only as the war progressed that some people pushed for bombing of civilians.
