We’re from the US. My 14 year old son is a senior college student studying Computer Science with less than a year left till graduation.

All of the software engineering internships I came across don’t list any specific age requirement except those geared towards high school students (which my son doesn’t qualify for). Mostly if there is a requirement, it mainly refers to college grade level equivalent (freshman, sophomore, or junior usually) with some requiring a minimum of 1-2 years post internship before graduating. I assume this is because most expect college students to be over 18 and on the traditional 4 year track for getting their Bachelors.

Majority of these don’t have public contact information and before I start randomly hitting up strangers on LinkedIn, was hoping to see if anyone on HN might know if there are any internships that would be a fit for my son’s situation.

I understand labor laws for 14 year olds could be a huge limiting factor here. Any help or advice appreciated!

Long story short, my car was parked out front in our driveway directly in front of my house steps away from our front door and sometime in the early afternoon someone broke into our car and stole a bunch of stuff.

I've already filed a police report and did what I needed to do to figure out what was all stolen.

But that's now got me thinking of installing a camera out front so we can track this kind of thing.

Is there a security camera someone has tried and recommend? Are there any that allow me to access the feed remotely or notify if me it sees movement out front.

This was done in broad daylight while we were all home (I just didn't realize it was happening while I was inside the house).

Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

EDIT: This is the second time it's happened in the past couple of years. Last time they shattered our car window (different car). This time I'm not sure how they got in as there was no visible damage to this car.

Not sure if anyone has the answer but I had a bunch of emails from Facebook today asking whether or not I requested my password to be reseted. Of course I didn't.

Just to be sure, I decided to add my mobile number to my account to add two-step verification. As soon as I added my number and verified the PIN they texted, my account was disabled and they requested I upload a government ID to prove who I was and requested that I do a social verification with a bunch of random photos to verify my friends.

I'm confident I got 100% of the tagged photos right but it keeps going in an infinite loop even though I finish tagging everything correctly (5/5 each time). Eventually it said I exhausted all my verification, essentially getting me nowhere.

I took a picture and uploaded my ID but I'm curious how long this process actually takes and why my account would be flagged by adding my number (a number I previously had on my Facebook account before).

Anyone who works at Facebook or dealt with this knows? As of right now my entire account is disabled and even a friend looking me up can't access my page or anything. This also means I can't access messenger or anything else utilizing my FB login.

So this has never happened before. I tried Googling around and couldn't confirm this has happened to anyone else.

I tried to launch 1Password on my Mac (as I always do). I was prompted to log in with my Apple ID by the App Store. Something about 1Password was purchased using a different computer so they needed to verify my Apple ID to ensure I made the purchase (I bought this a long time ago so wonder why this is coming up now). Oddly enough, this never happened before. The request is fine and all since I did buy it through the App Store originally except for one giant problem...

All my passwords are random insanely long passwords auto-generated by 1Password. I don't memorize that stuff (including my Apple ID) and that's the whole point of using 1Password in the first place. The very thing that has all my passwords is inaccessible because the stupid App Store requires Apple ID verification before proceeding (a catch-22). If I don't verify and log-in, the application effectively never launches.

Thankfully I have 1Password access on my other devices and was able to login and verify, but I can already imagine a scenario where this could have been blocked on everything.

Anyone else encounter anything like this?

My wife is interviewing with Google about a contracting position and had some questions and was wondering if anyone here who have worked for Google as a contractor in the past can shed some light...

1. Since its contract work does Google have a history to honor the full length of the contract period or is it common for contract to end pre-maturely?

2. I've read some online reviews about how regular employees and interns get treated well but that contractors are often treated worse and wanted to know if anyone here had any experience with that.

3. Of course every contracting job may potentially lead to full time hire but does anyone know the historical percentage of convert here? I think I saw on Quora for interns it was something like well over 60% but curious how that differs for contractors.

I am aware this may also differ from team to team but any feedback you can provide is greatly appreciated.
