Person who interviewed you here. Our interview process may not be perfect, but surely going into a technical interview, you could expect some coding questions. You mentioned that we "asked [you] to write common CS algorithms", like we asked you to do invert a binary tree. That, indeed, would be ridiculous.
In fact, if I recall, we asked you to reverse a string. This is not an "algorithm" question, it's a basic programming aptitute test and if you can't do it on a piece of paper, this is a major red flag for us. Furthermore, you demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic JavaScript concepts like prototypes and scoping. This, and your personal attitude, were the reason why we did not hire you for the front end deveoper position.
You are no doubt a hardworking and resourceful individual, but we were looking for something more than ability to glue JavaScript libraries together. I wish you, and "other smart teams that hire [you]", all the best.
I've used it for about half a year, it's alright but doesn't work as well as advertised. Just buy a high quality metal brush, inspect before and after use, replace often. If it sounds like too much trouble you shouldn't be BBQing in the first place.
We don't currently accept BTC, but you can pay for TunnelBear with honey. Contact us for our mailing address. (I am quite serious, we've actually received some delicious organic honey in the mail a couple of months ago). We wouldn't mind accepting bacon, but you will have to make the payment in person, I am afraid bacon would spoil during shipping.
Thank you for your kind words! We are doing our best to stay on top of the situation, despite the government's attempts to block us. If you read this and tunnelbear.com is blocked for you, try tuneloso.com. It's a static mirror we've put up on S3, it has not been blocked yet, to the best of our knowledge.
Hi, I'm Ivan Sergeyenko, also known as iBear. I am one of the engineers on the TunnelBear team. We all hold deep respect for Peter Sunde and his team. iPredator is definitely one of the most trustworthy VPN services out there.
Our goal, however, is different. We aim to bring VPN/privacy protection to people who have never heard of VPN (notice that we don't have "VPN" anywhere on our site, except for in a quote from TNW and in the help section). Despite there being 100's (if not 1000's) of VPN services out there, very few of them, sadly, care about the non-tech-savvy audience.
