It seems this criticism is of the interviewer making a poor decision based on missed/incorrect observations, not with the whiteboard interview itself. Whiteboard interviews might miss eccentrics who can't express their clever thou

I think what Google tries to find are the engineers with creativity, skill and ability to work intelligently at a problem which they haven't seen before. It's important to know how a person approaches a hard new problem and how

It's hard for me to say that being overly upset about someone else's argument winning over yours is not as significant a character flaw as sounding like a know it all. Should we be always singling out those born and developed with

Nice work, and great mood lightening sound :) Maybe it would be more accurate to detect when the siren light behind the goal goes off if it's always viewable on screen.

This is a cool idea, but the light show going off erroneously in my own home for the opposing team would be disheartening to any die hard fan. Any chance of this happening, let alone once every 4 games, would be unacceptable. And the pain

The problem with "Tell me about a time when ..." questions is that they more so test the strength of self-righteous memory than offer a clear picture of valuable job skills. These questions assume the interviewee has a vivid set

The problem is that "shallow cynicism", "gratuitous negativity", and "all forms of meanness" are vague distinctions all subject to interpretation. Guidelines like this should have specific examples to aid in th

Often, it doesn't register that I need a household item replaced until it's gone. In this case, going to the store would fulfill my needs immediately whereas ordering from amazon could cause me to wait two days for a roll of toil

I understand the concept of creating something exceedingly more generally intelligent than its creator, I'm simply suggesting it's not possible. Many people assume that it is, and we'll have to agree to disagree. But even i

Telnet wouldn't help if they forgot the password and it wasn't hard-coded as a back door. Also, the support tech wouldn't be able to access it remotely unless some of the things I mentioned in the original comment were true.

True, hardware backdoors have been around forever. The difference here is a BIOS backdoor password has a somewhat legitimate reason. You can't just hit a reset button on your PC if you forget the BIOS credentials the way you can on y

It baffles me that any router manufacturer would have the nerve to hard-code login credentials into their routers. But to be clear, for this to be pulled off remotely, the router must first either disable its firewall or a DNS rebind attack

Yup, but the one takeaway I get from these court documents is the FBI needs someone to make some bone headed mistakes in order to bring them to justice.

To be more clear, I suggest that Strictly by Rating require a minimum number of user reviews counted, and excludes movies with RT Audience reviews still in a "Want to See" status.

by decisiveness 12y ago
This is a really good idea, and a useful app. Only suggestion: Number of ratings/reviews should hold more weight in the sorting algorithm. e.g. Hollywood Buddha (2003) shouldn't be the RT Audience Rating second highest ranked film
