Apple could just throw away the product you return. That would not suffice.

Hashing passwords intentionally slow for security. The solution to a DOS like this is to ignored all password attempts after N per M time.

Knowing when to not microoptimize is a skill. Honestly, you should have decided based on compensation, geography, etc. The jobs are similar. But you microptimized :-)

Well trained average people are good enough to do great things. That is a feature, not a bug.

Broken? It sounds exactly how optimization systems work :-)

Why couldn't talented people also game the interview?

If you don't care enough to skip a couple of episodes of Mad Men and warm up your brain before you come in, you aren't interested in working here.

Because I don't know how to judge past work in your niche. My niche is different.

They can't test you on the intricacies of your current project, because they don't know them. An interview needs a greatest common denominator. That is what an undergraduate CS test is.

Please share what is the ideal interview.

I do wonder when/if trackers collapse all addresses on a small domain into a glob. They totally could.

Then I can ask Facebook to show me gifts and stores my friends like, and some general listings.

Everything you listed is from data you inserted into Google's system, not bought from a third party. But keep digging deeper :-)

Since they have proven that they are awful at targeting, I don't want it. The fact is, 90% of advertising exists because the product is not worth buying in its merits. Word of mouth recommendations and independent research studies are where

Awesome, so their monetization strategy is to undermine the whole product and say "trust me"

How is browser JS closed source? Without auditing, calling a server open source is meaningless.

He tried, but his product is so good that it scrubbed out the identifying information in his post. (Kidding)

Before we backslap too much, note that the study isn't about programming skills, it is about sitting on SO all day answering questions instead of working.

Wow, when kids don't even know that the latest fad was originally popularised by Apple , we have entered postmodern hipsterdom.

Every text editor can uncomment a block of code with a macro. Why on Earth would the number of chracters matter? And every language has the IF construct. And of you are flipping between two implementation so frequently, your actual problem

Spraying horrible garbage cleverness in code, and submitting commented out code, are exactly the sort of newbie mistakes that code reviews should sort out. At best, this gimmick is for hacking out some temp code while debugging, and should

Reading tests is not TDD, it is basic due diligene when learning code. Eve still, skipping that, when the test fails, the rush coder will see the problem.
