No because unlike most of the people I have to work with on a day to day basis I actually have the skill to backup my work. Clearly this lawyer is pointing out how people who suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect get into positions they shouldn't. I would say at least 40% of my industry is laced with people who are barely able to work fast food. Of course we thank HR for those people having jobs and not the qualified engineers / embedded developers who should of interviewed them.
I won't disagree with you, if you put yourself in a place where you can expect privacy based on the fact it's closed off or you own it then privacy should be enabled otherwise you don't really have any.
Wow, countless times I've mentioned how thanks to video, photography, credit cards, radio signal and etc... how we don't have privacy any more. Everytime a bunch of hard core privacy freaks looses there lids and has a tyraid about how I'm wrong and how I should shut the fuck up, well now that the NYC Police Commissioner has said the same thing how about people realize PRIVACY IS DEAD!.
This directly goes back to why you don't let anyone but the developers set the completion date for software. When ever your handed a deadline, the first thing you do is schedule a meeting right away and then throw the deadline out. If as a developer you can't set the deadline then walk away from the table, the reason a lot of software projects fail is because feature lack, bugs and crappy code. Most of those can be fixed by having the time you need to actually work on set code. As an embedded developer I would never allow anyone to set my deadlines, I put pride into my work and I'm not going to have it rushed by some marketing team or a project manager who knows nothing about programming embedded systems.
This is most likely a software and platform bug, from my experience which is a fair bit the majority of software bugs are generated from OO based languages and programmers who don't really understand computer arch. So I'm willing to just go ahead and blame all the programmers who think languages like C++, C# and Java are good ideas, and who think Windows is a good platform to use to run anything. I'm willing to bet if this entire system was based on C and ran in a pure Linux environment it would be fine.
And why are Object Oriented languages and Windows a good pair:-), For every developer who supports Objected Oriented language, this outage is for you, OO Languages!
This is such a random interview, he should of sat down and planned what he was going to say, this just sounds quick, dirty and unprofessional. I can't take a company seriously where the interviewer doesn't answer questions using a solid brief format. He's not even answers the questions properly, I give this a 2 / 10, to be fair I give most interviews about a 4 / 10, If you include PR you lose marks. Sit down, right out all the question and answer you want to talk about, practice it, re practice it and then go. Every time you stutter or have throw off a question you just look bad to the camera, I hate to be hating on this guy but it's pretty bad.
If your write it down and it's an original work you own it! If you create it as an original work you own it! If it in anyway is a copy of someone else's work you owe them.
Have you been stuck behind someone in the security line who takes 10 minutes to gently lay everything in the bins then they take another 5 minutes to get undressed so they can walk through the machines. Of course they forget that they can't have metal in there pockets and I have to wait again. The world doesn't revolve around me but I'm sure not going to be happy when I have wait for people who are to slow to function.
CSS, HTML and JavaScript need to be standardized and built to work together. If you want to add your own libraries on then that is fine but I run into so many issues with different browsers handling my scripts differently, this is 100% due to nothing being standardized. I shouldn't have to use special operators or libraries to create the effects I want / need.
Yep, is a sad state of affairs. If I were in charge the base salary for anyone in the government would be the median + 10%. It's amazing to think about how much money the country would save if that were the case.
It's not going to change, we're to far down the rabbit hole at this to see the situation getting any better. The FAA has a created a model system or inefficiency and laziness that the world never thought possible. To make it from the terminal entrance to waiting for your plane, you'll need in the best case 45 minutes, and that is at a fly through pace. Now add in all the other travellers who are dumb as nails and can't figure out how to move and you can add another 5 minutes on for each one of them.
Personally I don't care how long it takes me to travel, it's not going to get any better so I may as well not complain but for the love of god can people hurry the hell up? Most of the delay is caused by moronic passengers who move slow, take extra time, can't figure out how to walk through the scanners or use baggage tickets and etc.... If we take the FAA out of the picture, most of the delays you experience at an airport are caused by friggen people who can't walk and talk at the same time and it's sad to say that is most of the people! My personal biggest Pev is when I'm waiting to get to the scanner only to see the ( usually woman ) person infront of me take 10 minutes to carefully set out everything in the bins, then get undressed and have a nice slow pace at that. By the time your at the scanner you should have your pants and shirt on, everything in the bin ready to go and your ready to walk. It would speed everything up so much that people would stop complaining almost entirely about the slow service.
In fact I would create time limits where you have less then 1 minute from the moment you step up to the bin to have everything off and ready to walk, you don't need any longer, after all you've been standing in line at this point for ever.
You don't estimate completion dates. The biggest single failure in Project Management is the concept of estimation of completion dates, the work will be finished when it's finished and that is all there is to it. Personally I'm not handing over software that I don't think it 100% ready to go and tested, if that takes me 2 weeks long then the "work estimate" then it does and I don't care. Completion Estimates lead to shitty software, missing features and bug lists. You need to take the time you need to make sure the software is polished and ready to go in a professional setting, if your project manager bitches and complains then go above them. If marketing wants to be keen and set a date with you not being ready then tell them to write the software. The point is take control and take the time to do the job right, The first time you'll hear lip, the second time you'll hear lip but by the third and x time people will let you be and let you produce excellent work. Nothing will kill a company or a product faster then crappy, bad feature and bug filled software or in other terms Project Manager and Marketing managed software releases.
If your a good programmer your a good programmer and it doesn't mean that you can do the impossible.
They didn't fail, I'm sure they taught it perfectly but I just can't stand a "science" where you can ignore data. For instance if I take 200 weather surveys and in 199 of them I get a result which is inline with my predictions then according to my text book I can ignore that 1 result, the issue is that I really can't. That 1 result is very important because it shows that the data doesn't line up. I would be unable to take those results and grow them to state that in a population of 600 weather samples I should get 600 know results, because the fact is I have 1 unknown result from the first group and I can't really know how many from the second and third. Statistics leaves room for to many unknowns to enter the system.
There is one thing all Ultrabooks, notebooks and netbooks don't have and that is a good keyboard. I have yet to hear of a *book with a mechanical keyboard.
That is what I said, a statistic is a bad estimator of a population because it doesn't take into account outlying data point from a set. This is a huge issue, by not considering outlying data points your not taking into account all of the data. The only thing I learned about statistics from school is that your better off getting a true result by measuring everything in the populate set and creating a truly accurate value or ratio.
Statistics is the art of lying to yourself that you understand what should happen! The problem with statistics is that in general you just ignore mass amounts of data to try and prove a point, it would be like measuring a system and throwing out any strange readings. There is a much better system already in place that deals with the problem in statistics and that is to just measure or record the results of a finite population and only release results about that and only that population. You'll have the EXACT numbers and you wont be guessing or making assumptions!

Fire HR and let the actual developers and engineers sit with the person.

If your a good programmer your a good programmer and it doesn't mean that you can do the impossible.
I've heard it called a science hundreds of times, I agree that it's not or at least shouldn't be.
If I don't understand it fine but then no one has been able to explain in a way that makes it sound like a good solid science.
They didn't fail, I'm sure they taught it perfectly but I just can't stand a "science" where you can ignore data. For instance if I take 200 weather surveys and in 199 of them I get a result which is inline with my predictions then according to my text book I can ignore that 1 result, the issue is that I really can't.

Statistics leaves room for to many unknowns to enter the system.
I think it's a great area to get into, well I know right now they are bulky, if someone could invent low profile switches that would be awesome.
There is one thing all Ultrabooks, notebooks and netbooks don't have and that is a good keyboard. I have yet to hear of a *book with a mechanical keyboard.
That is what I said, a statistic is a bad estimator of a population because it doesn't take into account outlying data point from a set. This is a huge issue, by not considering outlying data points your not taking into account all of the data. The only thing I learned about statistics from school is that your better off getting a true result by measuring everything in the populate set and creating a truly accurate value or ratio.
Now these aren't the best visual languages but they're two I learned. Logo and Turing:
Logo: http://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/logo/programming.html
Turing: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/
I found them pretty good back in the day.
