Interesting setup! I loved the poster, as I didn't know of layouts other than the rotating ring of plasma.

We can't even make bots have a reasonable conversation with us in our own language :)

Huh, interesting. Where I'm from, summer camp is spending time with the Boy Scouts, or volunteering, or literally camping. American movies don't paint a very different picture, so I wasn't aware of "go to college"-k

Not disagreeing with the overall point, but summer camp? My grandma had us spend the summer reading and solving exercises of the following grade's textbooks. A trip would have meant to stop learning.

That would only account for the difference between Indians and white males. What about non-Indian women, or men that are neither Indian nor white?

If it's just "white males are more reluctant to work for us", then surely that would also show in them hiring more females and more non-whites than expected, as they are more willing to work for them? It's not as if you&

IANAL, but place of origin is one of the protected categories, you can't even ask the candidate in an interview. So I would expect much less discriminate on purpose. Also, "feeling like" someone's easier to work with sou

As in, they won't buy a hammer from the town down the road? Instead they'll cast the metal head, and chop the wood for the handle? Mine their own metal ore? It can't go all the way through.

Did they build those hand tools by hand? Honest question.

The idea should be that you don't have to reinvent how to authenticate users (client developer and end user), apply different quotas, charge money, detect abuse, log any of that, nor a number of other things that are common to all APIs

Going from version 1.0 to version 2.0 of a dependency might require rewriting your code, which, unlike testing, we still haven't automated.

Why would you need the balloons flying over the ocean? They can control their longitude. Plenty of rural places in third-world countries without an electric grid too.

If your complaints about the process were meant in a general way, about interviewing in general, I agree with them. I don't think they apply to how we do interviews. I wouldn't be happy about Google's process otherwise, as I

I interview engineering candidates at Google, and the process we have is pretty good at letting us (interviewers) see how the candidate thinks, as well as assess their knowledge about algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems, an

I'd say functions and methods with overly generic names, like "process" or "prepare". You won't believe what happens inside!

The point is clear; I'm questioning the assumption. "Who says (b)", is what I'm asking.

Well, the speed of light isn't the speed of anything with mass. The rest is only indirectly connected to that. The collision did already happen, from our frame of reference. Its light arriving to us will be just a confirmation. From so

In Spain many are proposing to get rid of districts altogether, because they severely penalize parties that aren't the two biggest (except regionalistic parties). And this is in a country where the system actually allows third parties
