For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

209. As I said in a previous post to you, you apparently did not read my complaint ...

I said very clearly that I installed GoogleDocs, apparently misspeaking when I should have said that I installed the GoogleDocs client. In fact, I also said that it was trivial. Next time you should save some keystrokes and read the story that you are challenging, before making your nasty insults.

As far as saying that the questions were trivial. I said that they are trivial, because they were trivial. The concepts are NOT complex concepts for those who have studied the concepts, and they are not that difficult to understand. Algorithmic order of complexity is a simple concept. So are hash tables. If you think that they are complex concepts, I would recommend that you hang around the industry for a few decades where you can examine the technology from a few different angles instead of the simplistic angle that you can achieve in only a couple of years.

As a matter of fact, maybe someone should have set Larry Page down an explain the concept of Order of Complexity to him before he made a big deal out of his PageRank (PR) hoax. Anyone who actually understands PageRank and is familiar with the concept of Order of Complexity would have been able to explain that the Order of Complexity of calculating PR is O(n!), a STAGGERING number, especially when n is the number of pages in the Google index, somewhere between 4 billion and 20 billion. The computational requirements is so staggering that if all of the grains of sand on earth were a computer, you still would not have enough computing power to calculate PR on Google's index on a regular basis. If Larry Page was unable to understand that, then Larry Page does not understand the concept of Order of Complexity. If Larry Page DOES understand that, PageRank is just another one of his frauds that he has been spreading from his Mountain View perch.

PageRank is a hoax. The complexity of Google interview is a hoax. Google's inability to find competent workers is a hoax. And most importantly Google's malicious SMEAR against US STEM workers is a hoax.
