In my experience, yes. It's not that they don't look for things with practical results. It's just that there's no incentive to continue beyond the point where you demonstrate the contribution.
I grew up in Mississippi playing Peavey gear dreaming of designing it. Now, I have a PhD in electrical and computer engineering. I don't do audio electronics, but I might not have even considered EE if not for this man.
So, they replaced the plastic bottle of water with a plastic bottle of flavored water-like beverage. Sounds like an environmental win to me.
I purchased my Civic hybrid as insurance. At the time, gas was $4.65/gal, so I decided to take the chance. Turns out that it was the peak in 2008. You win some, you lose some. The Civic is still a nice low maintenance…
Maybe I'm getting old, picky, arrogant, or some other malady, but I am simply uninterested in working at a company that asks these types of riddles. There are many more practical ways to gauge people's thought…
While I appreciate the inductive nature of this problem, this problem is more likely to demonstrate that the candidate has done a Google search for interview questions…
Cyberspace: I'd purchase the last 20 songs I bookmarked on Pandora.com. Meatspace: I'd go play skeeball with my wife.
It is unnecessary to work that hard at it to enjoy it. SC2 matches you against players of equivalent skill level. It may be an ego bruise to be in the bronze level instead of platinum or diamond, but you can still have…
No, it is not a myth, but you have to take the initiative.
Fallout 3 had no sense of moral ambiguity and limited dialogue options. More importantly, it didn't have an ending that you create for yourself. I felt robbed when it showed what I had done instead of what happened to…
I organized and hosted their recruiting talk at my university. They thought it was handled very professionally and fast tracked my resume.

177 x 50 terminal window + ssh + GNU screen + side-by-side emacs (C-x 3, M-x ansi-term) I use a MacBook Pro with a persistent screen session on my Linux desktop. I could use my Linux desktop, but I'm a bit of an OS X…
I also find this a sensitive subject. I always thought that the learning process was held up by the need to constantly reinforce things I learned a long time ago. For example, electrical circuits classes at Purdue do…
Among my team within Google, the people with kids live in the South or East Bay. Those without live in San Francisco. The only ones I know living on the peninsula just moved to the area and haven't migrated to the…
They did. The guy who wrote moderator originally works on data center power management, so they recently hired somebody else to clean it up for public consumption.
Google doesn't ask questions like these. In fact, they train interviewers to _not_ ask questions like these.
They have me a copy of that book during my orientation at Google, along with a series of other books on the core languages used within Google. Obviously, it's up to every engineer to put that to good use, but the…
I went from the University of Arkansas (sub-top 100, electrical engineering) into the direct Ph.D. program at Purdue University (top 10, electrical and computer engineering) with a three-year fellowship. Among my…
Sounds just like our situation. I've been playing guitar for 15 years now. My 30 year-old wife just picked up the guitar. She's doing quite well. I spend about 15 minutes per day helping her with her technique and…
I did that during an interview for a power company in 2002. I had decided already that I had zero interest in working for them, so I figured I might as well have fun with it. There was nervous laughter from his side of…
No. Scores remain secret, even if you are hired.

Hack the planet. I feel so unclean for saying that.
