I like this one, touting the benefits of microcap stocks got someone fined $4.6 million. I can only think the shit that would have come down if the founders had a stake (exercised options) in one of the companies on their exchange then cre

Indeed, a quick Google for "Prediction Markets" popped up, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market#Legality But then, tie that to real Securities ... its a miracle they got off with only $20,000 in fin

It doesn't feel real, because I know its fake. My brain isn't fooled into believing that I exist in this different world. I fulling know I'm looking at a video game, in fact I found the raster lines reminiscent of classic arc

Late reply. I am fine with pseudo-code in the coding question. I just want to know that the candidate can visualize an algorithm and get it into something concrete. Then be able to step through the code and tell me how the state of the mach

I think the assumption that white board coding is the worst way needs a bit more evidence. Certainly it sucks from some people, but also, some developers would be very very uncomfortable casually talking with their prospective employer abou

Is the whiteboard interview perfect? No, there is no perfect method. Disclaimer, I give lots of white board interviews. What am I looking for? Syntax? Nope, I let the candidate use any language they want, they can even make it up as they go

I don't expect to see one for professional devs, a lot of time what we develop we aren't allowed to share. Or, if its a side project, its not necessarily open source. However, for college grads, or those without a CS degree and tr

I have also hired a lot of devs, I love it when they have a github account, especially those with less experience or as interns.

If you are partnering with a company, you typically can break the partnership by poaching employees. I think the biggest problem is this anti-bidding strategy extended to companys that weren't partners.

Google is the advertiser. Just replace the word 'Google' with 'Doubleclick'. It starts to make sense. When you use mail.doubleclick.com for your email, and www.doubleclick.com to search the web, all from your DoubleClick

The current climate feels a lot different than the 2000 era. For starters, what was 'valued' in 2000 was: * The number of employees you had. I had the opportunity to be at a number of Idealab parties in 2000-2001, the only thing o

The hard problem isn't a technical one, in my opinion. Lets say we include an 'emergency stop' button on the autonomous cars. It will be early on, when the autonomous car decides wrong or doesn't detect the kid, and the

After your BSc, every degree has a negative impact on your hireability. Every hiring manager has seen a flood of domestic Masters of CS and foreign BSc of low quality. I'd say a hack bootcamp has more weight now than a masters. PhDs ar

The question is, is it easier to place your code on that curl site. If there is some web-layer vulnerability, you can put your own code there. With signed MSIs and EXEs, you'd need to get your code signed, which is probably more diffic

Samsung did this when they first introduced their watch. In the ad for it, the guy is holding his phone in his right hand, his watch on his left wrist 'rings' letting him know who it was, then he proceeds to answer on the phone, t

As I read the documentation, I thought, wow, this is probably the most complex piece of software ever attempted in Brainfuck. A task scheduler, hell, a linked list? Half way through I quickly tried finding the source, bewildered about how i

No, I'm saying exactly what you are saying. Don't pipe to the shell from curl, download it first, then inspect it. Btw, I can trust a linux binary, because I can verify through checksums, posted on the download site and elsewhere

Today it is, tomorrow? A month from now? When the original dev ignores the site, and someone hacks his pw, changes the code, what then? I cannot seriously listen to anyone who "cares" about privacy, then asks their users to downlo

Actually what is displayed is not necessarily the same as what would be executed if you ran that script. You are viewing one piece of code , you will be executing a different file. In fact, you can view the github code, and see the code dis

I hope this isn't true, because there is no way that info is worth $10. Perhaps, if they got you on a telemarketing call, and read you 5-10 minutes of upsells, that could approach being worth $10 to a marketer. My guess is its 'fr

You can comply with the GPL or you can comply with the original license. Neither of which allows you to BSD license the code, if in your use of the code you violate copyright. GPL is very specific in that every copy of GPL'd code must
