Starting to sound eerily like the first couple chapters of Ministry for the Future

EngineeringExplained (https://www.youtube.com/user/EngineeringExplained) is a great addition to this list for anything automotive and whiteboarding the concepts behind it

Canon 5D3 - feels exceptional in your hand, takes fantastic photos out of the box, and with all the more advanced features just as accessible for when you need them.

Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket - so light, stuffs into it's inner pocket, sufficiently warm, windproof and layerable. Pretty much perfect.

Fixed - thanks!

Absolutely - some of the earlier ties are more Jackson style rather than Windsor, but as most ties are made to order, I can made up any tie in a Jackson style should you wish :)

Most of the ties available at the moment are double sided, with completely different patterns either side (e.g. https://www.instagram.com/p/72rT_CmzYZ/)

I've been running Bowtiful Ties (http://www.bowtifulties.com) as a side project for the last 4 or so years.

Everything is vertically integrated and hand made by myself, from the bow ties, to the packaging, to the website and all processes. Bootstrapped from the start, it's pretty low volume, but nicely profitable.

Hulu has too many vowels to be a Yahoo acquisition. It just can't happen.

I'm getting tired of the compete 'redesigns' of iTunes. It used to work fine pre version 11. Now everything is that little bit more separated, more iPad-esque and slower. I don't want to say it, but, to me, this is un-Apple. The intuitive-ness of the UI is going...

I understand that these questions can be ridiculous at times. But I think it is worth pointing out 2 things:

1) They may work well for a subset of applicants for a subset of companies. This, to some, is verification that these sorts of problems are a good way of narrowing down the applicant pool. Hence why they're used.

2) From Facebook (or any other employer)'s perspective, it's an incredibly hard job determining who will fit a given job specification. You may be great on paper, but be a total mismatch with regards to company ethos (I'm not saying you are, I'm just citing this as an example). The way (and that's assuming there is a particular way) of differentiating applicants and determining their suitability is not perfect. Different companies do it different ways, and all of this is constantly evolving. The fact that Facebook is using developers to conduct their interviews could be seen as progress to some compared to what there was x years ago in y company. It's never going to be perfect.

The fact that you've moved on from this and done a bunch of great stuff is fantastic. It's Facebook's loss. But instead of just commenting on why their system sucks, and why it didn't work for you, why not make some constructive suggestions on how it might be improved.

Very eloquently written nonetheless though.
