Re:Google's “Director of Engineering” Hiring Test (2016)

This has been posted before. Standard questions from a recruiter. The fact he wasn't able to work out how to play the game at this stage suggests he probably would have been cut out for the job anyway...

Any WSJ/News Corp coverage of Google/other tech companies should be taken with a massive pinch of salt. They are direct competitors and have long waged a campaign against their influence https://twitter.com/thelancearthur/status/963090315472093184

Google have been doing this for longer than anyone else and have logged an order of magnitude more miles (cf. all their competitors combined). They also have by far and away the most accurate/reliable technology as evidenced by their dis/engagement stats. They are years ahead of everyone else. As a separate company they would be valued at ~$70 billion- with huge upside

Do you realise Firefox's marketshare was in large part due Google? It's not surprising that when they decided to go their own way they made rapid gains

'This project does not replace Wine or Winelib.
Winelib is used to port Windows C++ projects to Linux, and Wine is intended to run full Windows applications. This project is intended to allow native Linux code to load simple Windows DLLs.
The closest analogy would be ndiswrapper but for userspace.'

This is a non story. Product leaks have a massive business impact. Hence Apple's culture of extreme secrecy. Google is somewhere in between

This is clearly a fishing expedition- and I am not surprised that Google objects to the DOJ seeking publicity when they lack evidence as it stands

Precisely. And the fact Bing is the only search engine allowed (on spurious safety grounds) and Chrome is barred tells you everything. This is destined to fail right? The main advantage of, say, a Chromebook is that it boots instantly and handles multiple users with no IT oversight

Seems like a fairly simple scam. All you would need is an email thread with relevant invoices and you would be well on the way. Surprised all the money was recovered after the fact though?
