Let's make it clear that Microsoft has rights on Windows, their brand and suite of products, not operating systems in general. The problem comes from when a malicious 3rd party explicitly paints Windows on the disc full of 0s and 1s t

But it sure as shit might stop the next guy if all his friends keep getting put in jail, something very rare in white collar crime. If I were Microsoft or any business needing to protect my IP rights, I would not care about a small reparati

Blah blah blah, okay, but yes he should be in jail. He can choose not to counterfeit when he gets out if he wants to stay out

I think the claim is stated as a conjecture. The linked article is not studying what you're saying, can you provide a link proving that there is no correlation between major and school size (ideally bucketed into a log scale instead of

While you don't personally see the correlation due to your cousin, a statistician with data may ( probably for certain majors more than others )

Doesn’t sound like the interviewee has an inflated sense of worth from what’s written and it sounds like the interviewer cheated off someone to get his degree

Considering the vast majority of all CS and modern software languages and practices have originated in the US in the first place and the US still, by any rational or unbiased measure, has the largest and most innovative tech companies in th

Nothing more true than that. Except I'll add that people become a bit more disillusioned by experience and willingness to take risk as they get older - at least maybe with dating and startups, maybe not lotteries and religion

Agreed. Unfortunately, delusions of grandeur and a unicorn VC culture convince average young people into believing themselves to be power law founders with power law ideas. Thankfully that has changed a bit and it looks like the miracle men

Not sure what you mean by separating equilibrium... bimodal? I think we’re talking about different things. I’m comparing (in response to the parent) the devops guy with a few dl/ml side projects who is possibly skilled enough to join a

I think "How confusing is this going to be to the one consuming this" (assuming you're not writing the front end as well) is the more important question to ask

That's very true now that you mention it, equities are not open source or decentralized. I'm liquidating my portfolio and going all in

Wow. Could there be any explanation for this or is this as bad as it looks? If so, serious question, how do they get away with things like this? It's at Cambridge, I mean you would have higher expectations? Maybe not?

You can take the guy who starts frothing at the mouth when you ask him to code fizzbuzz, I’ll take the wheelchair guy who can code fizzbuzz during the interview. Deal?

This whole thing reminds me of a shitty superhero spoof movie from the 90’s - Mystery Men - one of the characters’ superpower is that he can turn invisible when nobody else is looking and he is naked

I am not in agreement- while I’m sure there are a few, there’s quite likely more people who believe themselves to be underpaid geniuses. The overpaid genius, at the very least, has a preponderance of evidence that he understood all the math

That’s correct, but the pragmatic reality of most companies and data science with respect to internal politics and other bullshit is that they’re not going to find that mobility even if they network internally

I think there are a lot of deep learning dilettentes, and a large number of them on HN, overestimating their abilities relative to the experts being hired by google. The guy who is stuck doing dev ops but can be doing data science is not th

In your head and the head of those with extreme anxiety it is quite different. You're meet people who might be nice or not and chat a bit, you answer some questions, maybe there's a free lunch involved, you either get a job offer

by aje403 8y ago
Not at all, I'm enjoying myself and the debate (while finding it kafkaesque that people are finding ways to defend failing fizzbuzz on an interview). How are you doing today? That might be the only legitimate point I've read in th
