TripAdvisor Reviews Lindner Congress Hotel Cottbus
Travel Blogs from Cottbus
Warm oasis from the cold
... themed accommodation areas, massive waterslides and numerous other
activities. It is the largest building
we have seen and we thought it was impressive on the internet but then we saw
it in real life and it is hard to describe.
We spent a fun filled 5hrs here, it is quite amusing watching everyone
walking around in their swimming togs nice and warm and outside it is freezing,
it is funnier still watching everyone layering up before leaving.
Green and Palace (2nd Day around Berlin)
... walk that much. Initially I felt a tremor and couldn't walk fast. Our breakfast was 2 pieces of bread, one egg and a cappuccino shared between us. The view wasn't as pretty as I anticipated. We didn't see much river until we got to the restaurant in Lhede where we sat down for our luch. We sat in the open and the weather was nice. At first the restaurant was fully packed with elderly on boat tours. Later the crowd left. We used ...
We had a nice breakfast together and then went in a boat river ride on what is called SpreeWald. The river is like little canals and the boat bit like a Gondola. It was fun. I found a stick so I helped the guy paddling but then it broke. The boat was thin and long to go through the thin parts of the river which would be about 3 kids wide in some places. We stopped along the way ...
An original castle
... of champagne with them before dinner.
The next day we spent the morning doing scenic cruising down the Rhine. It was windy and rainy initially but the weather gradually cheered up by the time we reached Koblenz after lunch. I have never seen so many castles perched on hills above the little villages. Germany is far more picturesque than I ever imagined and they have so many more original medieval buildings than in England. Apparently there are 25000 castles in Germany which seems ...
Day 2: Eisenhüttenstadt
... to be two parallel stories being told. Some information was provided in English, which provided a socialist-positive introduction to every-day life in the GDR. The objects included in the collection, however, were identified only in German, and many items were not explained. Background knowledge of the GDR was really necessary to engage deeply with the exhibit. I wonder who is their typical ...

Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI
With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It's an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.

Gut bacteria population, reduced diversity linked to anorexia nervosa
Kleiman found significant changes in the gut bacteria populations between admission and discharge. The samples taken at clinic admission had fewer different types of bacteria, making the intestinal communities much less diverse. Microbial diversity is a sign of better overall health. Upon hospital discharge, the microbial diversity had increased, but was still significantly less diverse than that of 12 healthy individuals, whose gut microbiotas were analyzed for this study.

Google Now on Tap might just be the killer feature of Android Marshmallow
Now on Tap takes that further. The idea is that you can get more information and take action from directly within an application. You no longer have to leave one app to run a search in another, or to use a mobile web browser. The most interesting part of Now on Tap might be that Google is actually giving you a way to eschew organic search; other options are right there for you.

Face-to-face socializing more powerful than phone calls, emails in guarding against depression
In a slight knock on digital and telephone communications, a new study points to the unsurpassed mental health benefits of regular face-to-face social interactions among older adults. Study participants who regularly met in person with family and friends were less likely to report symptoms of depression, compared with participants who emailed or spoke on the phone. The gains people derived from face-to-face socializing endured even years later.

Choose veggies over antioxidant supplements
And the evidence that when it comes to antioxidants, more isn't necessarily better, keeps mounting. In 2007 a combined analysis of 68 randomized trials of any antioxidant supplements showed a statistically significant 5% increase in risk of death in the groups taking the supplements compared to the groups taking placebo pills.
When the outcome is total deaths, a 5% increase is huge. The findings were a shock and disconcerting to the research community; the first edict in medicine is to do no harm, yet these trials clearly did harm. The results showed that when individual antioxidant tablets were supplemented with beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E, each significantly increased risk of death. In addition to their role as vitamins, A and E are also antioxidants. Vitamin C and selenium supplements had no effect one way or the... more »

Beauty may well indeed be in the 'eye of the beholder' - here is why
Many of us have had the experience of disagreeing with friends or family about which celebrity is more attractive. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on October 1 show in a study of twins that those differences of opinion are mostly the result of personal experiences that are unique to each individual. In other words, even identical twins don't agree.

Sleep may strengthen long-term memories in the immune system
More than a century ago, scientists demonstrated that sleep supports the retention of memories of facts and events. Later studies have shown that slow-wave sleep, often referred to as deep sleep, is important for transforming fragile, recently formed memories into stable, long-term memories. Now, in an Opinion article published September 29 in Trends in Neurosciences, part of a special issue on Neuroimmunology, researchers propose that deep sleep may also strengthen immunological memories of previously encountered pathogens.

Inverse link confirmed for exercise, erectile dysfunction
Are you getting in your 30 minutes a day of exercise?
Physical activity is inversely associated with erectile dysfunction (ED), according to a confirmatory study published in the September issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The researchers found that for every 30-minute-per-day increase in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, participants had a significantly reduced risk of having ED after adjustment (odds ratio, 0.57).

High-fructose diet slows recovery from brain injury
"Americans consume most of their fructose from processed foods sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup," said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery and integrative biology and physiology at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. "We found that processed fructose inflicts surprisingly harmful effects on the brain's ability to repair itself after a head trauma."

Gas-Propelled Microparticles Could Stop Bleeding in Wounds
As soon as the bandage touches an open wound, the water in the blood sets off a reaction and the powder starts to fizz and bubble, releasing carbon dioxide. "It's similar to when a grenade goes off and fragments go in all directions," Kastrup says. The acid and calcium carbonate reaction propels the thrombin deep into the bloodstream, like salmon swimming upstream. "As they're reacting and propelling, they're dissolving away like a comet," says Kastrup.
The particles can get deep into the tissue, all the way to damaged internal blood vessels feeding the wound. Bandages like QuikClot Combat Gauze, the one with the kaolin, may clot a severe wound, but the vessels inside can burst the seal. These bubble-powered particles get to those deeper vessels, making the clot more stable. At least, that's the idea—Kastrup ha... more »

a team of roboticists, neuroscientists, and graphics programmers planted the seed that would become the new artificial intelligence software developer, The Curious AI Company. Unlike other technologies that are training computers to understand the information they're receiving, the Curious AI programmers are actually attempting to give computers a way to learn in an unsupervised manner — a process that mimics human cognition more closely, according to company co-founder Harri Valpola.

Drug used to treat cancer appears to sharpen memory
Can you imagine a drug that would make it easier to learn a language, sharpen your memory and help those with dementia and Alzheimer's disease by rewiring the brain and keeping neurons alive?
New Rutgers research published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that a drug - RGFP966 - administered to rats made them more attuned to what they were hearing, able to retain and remember more information, and develop new connections that allowed these memories to be transmitted between brain cells.

Brain networking: Researchers use brain scans to determine the mechanism behind cognitive control of thoughts
Three researchers from UCSB's Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences—Michael Miller, Scott Grafton and Matt Cieslak—used the structure of neural networks to reveal the fundamental rules that govern which parts of the brain are most able to exert cognitive control over thoughts and actions. This study is the first to provide a mechanistic explanation for how the frontal cortex exerts control over the trillions of individual neurons that allow people to stay focused on one task or switch to a radically different one.

Google Patents Holograms For Glass, Which Could Involve Magic Leap
Today Google was granted a patent for using holograms in a head mounted display like Google Glass. It would effectively let Google create augmented reality experiences that superimpose computer-generated imagery (CGI) atop the real world. Filed in March 2014, the patent shows Google's research into how it could merge its head mounted display technology with AR. But what's perhaps more fascinating is how the patent contextualizes Google Inc leading the $542 million funding round for augmented reality startup Magic Leap. One possibility is that Google's smart eyewear could be the hardware platform for Magic Leap's AR content.

More-flexible machine learning
Giving machine-learning systems 'partial credit' during training improves image classification
Researchers have presented a new way of doing machine learning that enables semantically related concepts to reinforce each other. So, for instance, an object-recognition algorithm would learn to weigh the co-occurrence of the classifications 'dog' and 'Chihuahua' more heavily than it would the co-occurrence of 'dog' and 'cat.'

Preventing cancer: Study finds dramatic benefits of weight-loss surgery
But this would also be true for 'natural' weight loss.
A study evaluating the effects of bariatric surgery on obese women most at risk for cancer has found that the weight-loss surgery slashed participants' weight by a third and eliminated precancerous uterine growths in those that had them. Other effects included improving patients' physical quality of life, improving their insulin levels and ability to use glucose - which may reduce their risk for diabetes - and even altering the composition of their gut bacteria.

Amazon's Supply Re-ordering Service Gets Integrated In Nearly A Dozen More Household Devices From GE, Samsung, Oster And More
Amazon this morning a significant expansion of device partners who will support its Dash Replenishment Service – the initiative that enables connected household devices to monitor their supply levels and automatically re-order when those supplies run low. For example, printers can re-order ink just before you run out. Your Brita water pitcher can re-order a new filter as the old one goes bad. Today, Amazon says that it has added eleven new brands to the program, including General Electric, Samsung, August, Gmate, Oster, Obe, Petnet, CleverPet, Sutro, Thync, and Sealed Air.

New prostate cancer treatments could target metabolism
Cancer cells are greedy and always looking for more ways to divide and grow. AR proteins, Frigo explains, can increase the expression of the CaMKKbeta gene. This enables cancer cells to become really aggressive, giving them the power to soak up a number of different nutrients from the outside. That gene, in turn, activates AMPK, which is a master regulator of metabolism and further strengthens metabolic processes leading to prostate cancer.

Placebo power: Depressed people who respond to fake drugs get the most help from real ones
When it comes to treating depression, how well a person responds to a fake medicine may determine how well they'll respond to a real one, new research finds. Those who can muster their brain's own chemical forces against depression, it appears, have a head start in overcoming its symptoms with help from a medication. But those whose brain chemistry doesn't react as much to a fake medicine, or placebo, struggle even after getting an active drug.

AI Is About To Go Mainstream And Reshape The Workplace
AI-powered apps like Amy are evolving into UI-less "invisible software" that perform several consecutive steps in a larger business process without human intervention. Amy will not just schedule the date and time for a meeting, she'll take a leap of logic and find an optimal place to meet (rather than bug you for your preference). This distinction is critical. By stringing the logic between individual 'tasks,' software begins to see the big picture and make decisions to serve a higher purpose.
In consequence, time-on-screen shrinks and software is capable of just working in the background. "Invisible software" is the highest realization of the AI-powered app, likely to distinguish winners from losers within each category segment. It will also be the most disruptive because it automates a job rather than just a task.... more »

Slack doesn't have the outer trappings of a game — and yet Slack CAME from a game. Clearly, the Slack developers could have included visible mechanics if they wanted to. But they didn't.

Amazon will now pay you to deliver packages
Amazon today launched a new service that pays part-time drivers in exchange for delivering packages. The service, called Amazon Flex, launches today in Seattle, and will soon come to Manhattan, Chicago, and seven other US cities, according to its website.
As The Guardian reports, Amazon Flex appears to have taken its cue from Uber and other "gig economy"-based services. Drivers will be paid $18 to $25 an hour to deliver packages ordered with Amazon Prime Now, the company's one-hour delivery service, though the site suggests it will eventually expand to include other Amazon deliveries. To qualify, drivers must provide their own car, own an Android smartphone, and pass a background check. They can choose to work for two-, four-, or eight-hour shifts.

VR motion sickness is "no longer the hardware's fault," says Valve dev
"As consumers and people in the community, hold developers to it," he continued. "They shouldn't be making you sick. It's no longer the hardware's fault any more. It's the developers making choices that are making you sick. Tell them that you don't want that."

'CableRobot': A Crazy Motion Platform for Complete VR Immersion, If it Doesn't Kill You
What the system offers that many fixed-base motion platforms down is a large degree of movement in the forwards / backwards, left / right lateral movements. The unit on display occupies a small warehouse, which means large swooping motions can be actioned upon the player seemingly with ease, making the job of fooling that clever physiology of your all the easier.

Starving cancer cells of sugar could be the key to future treatment
In a recent study published in Nature Communications we showed that cancer cells stimulate the over-production of the protein known as PARP14, enabling them to use glucose to turbocharge their growth and override the natural check of cell death. Using a combination of genetic and molecular biology approaches, we have also demonstrated that inhibiting or reducing levels of PARP14 in cancer cells starves them to death.

Particular brain connections linked to positive human traits
A team of scientists led by the University's Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain has investigated the connections in the brains of 461 people and compared them with 280 different behavioural and demographic measures that were recorded for the same participants. They found that variation in brain connectivity and an individual's traits lay on a single axis - where those with classically positive lifestyles and behaviours had different connections to those with classically negative ones. The findings are published in Nature Neuroscience.

The Future Of Coding Is Here, And It Threatens To Wipe Out Everything In Its Path
As we move into a more interconnected world, amazing new possibilities emerge. Developers like to consume "bite-sized" stuff. Amazon popularized this approach — they told developers what the system does and got out of the way. For tech companies, the "telling" will be handing over APIs. It's no wonder we've moved toward microservices that enable best-of-breed platforms to thrive. Connected devices, driverless cars and advanced health tech are just a handful of the new technologies API-first design will enable. For these innovations to happen, they must be built on a solid foundation. That means starting system design at the foundational layer — APIs.

Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI
With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It's an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.

Designing Next-Gen Virtual Reality Gaming Experiences
usability testing must take center stage. User-experience can make or break the most elegant, useful and beautiful software and hardware products imaginable. Ironically enough, consumers have spent most of their lives using products with poor UX, like our old VCRs (did anyone ever figure out how to get the time display to stop blinking?). Because VR technology in gaming is in its early stages of user adoption, designers, engineers, product managers and anyone on the manufacturer's side should keep iterating and testing for what works. There's a wide array of usability methods and tools on a UX designer's tool belt that would make Batman's look like it was a Fisher-Price knockoff.

D-A-D Plays Legendary Breakthrough Album on COPENHELL!
The Danish rockers will for the first time ever play "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" in its entirety!
It will only happen once, and it will be on the region's wildest metal festival. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of D-A-D's breakthrough album, "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" from 1989, the band performs the entire album at this year's COPENHELL. D-A-D bring their spectacular stage show that in every way is suited to an event of COPENHELL's size and the festival's dedicated audience.
It is by no means coincidental that it is at COPENHELL that D-A-D implements this quite extraordinary fan-treat. "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" is a mixture of punk, rock and metal, and with classics such as "Jihad", "True Believer", "Ill Will" and of course "Sleeping My Day Away" a great and rare experience awaits the audience.
D-A-D will play their very exclusive concert Friday night at the COPENHELL to the Festival's 5 year anniversary. Tickets at Billetnet.
The band will also play the planned concert in Odense.
UPDATE: Limited edition one-day tickets for Friday at Copenhell might be available here, if you are lucky!

I don�t know what prompted your admission (SI msg
# 8189) that you previously posted as HellQat on
the SI during December and January, but I find this
very disconcerting. I bring this up because I
specifically raised this issue with you in my Yahoo msg # 9019
dated 9 Feb. I stated that what "I don�t understand is
how you found time to make such copious and detailed
notes during the video..". I further asked "Do you have
other sources? ", and concluded "I don�t recall seeing
your postings on SI", so "Who are you?"
In what
now appears to be a less than honest answer, you
stated in your SI #9025 message that "I just write fast"
and "it helps me remember and fill in the blanks,
later. I sat in the front row and took notes. Glad that
�add� was there, he filled in a lot of blanks later.."
You never mentioned posting under the HellQat
signature. You just "appeared", much like the shorts do on
the Yahoo/SI threads.
Although my response #
9026 was general in nature, I quietly wondered how you
could have noted and absorbed all of the information
that you subsequently put forth in those very detailed
technical Yahoo and SI messages. Really, how did you look
at the video and write at the same time?
question again is "Who are you?", and now, where do you
get your information from? Do you have inside sources
that provided you with all of the technical data
disclosed in the video? Can you be trusted to be whom you
present yourself to be, or are you here to fill in the
gaps with information that VLNC did not or cannot
I hope your mission is not to be a shill for VLNC;
on the other hand, I hope that your mission is not
to gradually "drift" into negative territory and
undercut the value of our investments.
I really
find it hard to believe that you could put forth all
of the details you have on the AM on the basis of
"notes" and fill in by "add" and still watch the
I bring this issue up because I believe
clarification is warranted.
Regards, Bigcue
Who the fk you talking to at 1:30 in the morning ya freak?
According to that post, "nowaynohow" = "larry brubaker" = dkctx.
According to current posters, "nowaynohow" = "joltenjosephine" = "John Petersen" = any other human or alias not bullish on VLNC.
Normally, its impossible for me to prove a negative (i.e., that I am not any of these other aliases) so I don't even bother trying. However whitedoctor's post reminded me that the dkctx alias stopped posting years ago after VLNC's crack legal team went after him for posting something that said something along the lines that VLNC is a scam. Since VLNC's crack legal team went to all the trouble to track down the dkctx alias and threaten that alias into posting an apology and stop posting, they certainly would have also found out any other aliases the person behind the dkctx alias was using and those aliases would have also stopped posting. I'm still posting, so clearly "nowaynohow" is not "dkctx." Nor, of course, am I any of the other of the dozens of aliases the Boiler Room claims.
I always find it amusing when the Boiler Room claims I am all these other aliases. And I appreciate the whitedoctor alias for reminding me of dkctx and demonstrating how stupid these "nowaynohow = ...." claims have always been. ROFL!!!!!
curious obsession of mr. brubaker 23-Apr-00 01:40 pm
Larry Brubaker, who posts on this thread as
'nowaynohow', is admittedly short the stock.
obsession has intensified in recent weeks, as indicated by
his spamming of the thread, at all hours of the day
and night.
Most curious is the
near-simultaneous posting between himself and his 'alter ego' alias
'dkctx', at 3:34 and 3:51 AM EST (just this morning).
Larry tries hard to separate the nature of the
commentary when he posts under these two aliases, but at
that hour of the morning he has a greater tendency to
slip up. Many is the time we've seen nearly identical
wording, phrases, and agenda, appearing in close time
frames from these aliases.
Draw your own
conclusions... and beware of shorts bearing 'gifts' of
voluminous posts... !
Hi, Larry. Did you sleep well? Worry knot
starting to tighten? If you cover, maybe you'll be able to
sleep again.
Yes, VLNC went from concept to
commercial production on the Qualcomm/G* cell design in
about 4 months. Do I have to post the links for you
again to show you 1) they have the PO and 2) they
shipped commercial product to it.
Yes, VLNC has
passed the Qualcomm test. Why bring up ULBI and the
early 90's? We are talking about Valence in the here
and now. You should have been listening when Lev
assured investors he would not announce any PO's until
the OEM qual'ed the product, to avoid a repeat of the
mid-90's Motorola debacle. This was very key.
VLNC capability should easily be at $80M run-rate by
now, given timeframes set out in past CC's and
progress reviewed at the SM.
Sorry for you all this
is not explicitly spelled out in the CYA SEC
filings. (Maybe we can ask the company to put in a special
"Larry page" just for you.) This is a company that has
been transitioning from R&D to commercial mass
production. By the time you see it in the balance sheet, you
will be too late. Snooze and lose on that.
<<Valence made a diving catch in the end
zone, going from concept to commercial production in
about 4 months.>>
Huh? What? 4 months?
VLNC has been trying to commercialize a product for
nearly a decade. And you are using the past tense here,
as if they are in commercial production. Which
ignores the statement by VLNC in its official SEC filings
that "no significant revenue is expected until AT
LEAST the latter half of 2000." Most companies I know
that are in commercial production expect to get paid
for that production.
<<If a company
transitioning from R&D to commercial mass production is able to
meet the exacting standards for quality, reliability
and manufacturability at a company like Qualcomm, I
would have to consider that a
Uh, lipo, if that is your standard for success, then
ULBI was a success a few years ago when they had a
purchase order from Toshiba for their battery. Or VLNC was
a success in the early 90's when they had a $100
million order from MOT.
<<An annual
run-rate of $80M today will not look so "high" in contrast
to $250M a year or so from now.>>
you are interpreting "VERY LIMITED amount of product
for sale as having the capability for an $80 million
run rate? LOL!
So now it is Kyocera and an $80M runrate. You
better be careful calling that your proof. You either
have inside info, or you are lying. Neither one of
those comments << is public knowledge available
from PR's, IR, CC's and SM's.>>
Also, I
would classify success as revenue, not orders. I think
most rational investors would as well.
As for
your EPS estimate, are you going to take my bet? You
don't have much to lose, most shorts already know you
have very little understanding of finance.
Apologies in advance to the thread for having to
post this redundant information for Monte's
There is much anecdotal evidence Valence has turned the
corner on high-volume commercial
Valence announced their first PO in Nov/99, which they
got after TnB/HET was having trouble delivering to
Qualcomm/G*. We know Lev would not announce the PO before the
OEM had fully qual'ed the product, so that speaks
volumes to the efficacy of the product and manufacturing
process. Valence made a diving catch in the end zone,
going from concept to commercial production in about 4
PO #2 is for a European cell phone application, 1.5
million cells over several months. The company is
following their stated strategy not to commit too much
capacity to a single customer.
PO #3 is for
Kyocera, a direct result of success with PO #1. Even
though Qualcomm spun off their handset division to
Kyocera, the new owners set up shop in San Diego and are
keeping many of the same suppliers.
PO #4 is from
the same OEM as PO #1 (Qualcomm) for the HDR phone
currently in development.
If a company transitioning
from R&D to commercial mass production is able to meet
the exacting standards for quality, reliability and
manufacturability at a company like Qualcomm, I would have to
consider that a success. 8^)
As the company ramps
up production, the term "high-volume" can be
somewhat relative. An annual run-rate of $80M today will
not look so "high" in contrast to $250M a year or so
from now.
All of the above is public knowledge
available from PR's, IR, CC's and SM's.
Proof? Sorry
I cannot drop a pallet of batteries on your head.
Maybe some others around here would like to?
With samples out to over 50 OEM's for trial in over
100 applications, the odds of more orders coming in
are very high IMHO. It's comforting to know you and
all the rest of the naked shorts have to keep at
least one eye on the exit door just in case the "big
one" comes in. You'll be searching for your eyeballs
on the other side of the room if you get caught by
that spike. LOL!
That deep,dark sense of loneliness and despair
that I have been experiencing has now been relieved!
Mark Visnic has resumed posting on the Silicon
Investor! I wonder how many of these new bashers on the
Yahoo boards are Visnic in disguise?
The Nowaynohow ID is a team of shorts operating
here and on Silicon Investor under the Larry Brubaker
ID. Selling stock because you've lost confidence in
the company is a natural market force. Selling stock
you don't own to depress a company's share price is
an artificially, destructive act to profit directly
at other people's expense. IMO
...about himself. LOL! As Ross Perot used to say, "Now ya see, that's just sad".

84 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (1)No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Washington, DC) in September 2015.
BCG came to campus, about 1-2 weeks after the application was due, I received email invitation to their DC office for first round interview. 2 45-mins case interviews, the first 5-10mins behavioral, then 20~mins on the case. After the case there were 5-10 mins to ask questions. I interviewed in the morning, they had water and some chocolates for candidates. The interview was scheduled on Thursday so many of us had to miss classes. They put me in a hotel about 20mins away from the office the night before. It took them one day to get back to me about me not getting into the second round.
Interview Questions
- What was your greatest accomplishment What would you do differently next time when you work with a group after you learned from past group work experiences What was a time you were stressed and how did you deal with it Why BCG Why consulting When you work with a group what's your role in the team What kind of teammates would you pick if you're a project leader Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Durham, NC) in September 2015.
I applied via university recruiting. A week later, I got an email saying that I was selected for an interview. It was a 45 minute back-to-back interview, with some behavioral questions and the rest case interview. First case was somewhat confusing and I ended up wasting too much time digging into the wrong direction. Second case was much easier, but other candidates thought the same so didn't make a difference.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about yourself, when was a time that you worked in a team? etc. Answer Question
- No OfferDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.
I submitted my resume, cover letter and transcript online (but through my university). I was initially really excited when I went to their info session because the employees seemed very interesting and engaging and laid back. However, the first round of interviews was the complete opposite. I had two separate interviews which were about 45 minutes each: 15 minutes behavioral and a 30 minute case. My first interviewer was extremely rude and condescending. The second was very kind and really seemed interested in my answers and the different way I solved the case. Overall, I could tell I wasn't a good fit.
Interview Questions
- What type of leader are you? Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in January 2015.
Campus Recruiting. Standard interview process - two interviews back to back with partners. First ten to fifteen minutes were behavioral and rest of interview was a case. Behavioral section was pretty laid back, with a couple of rote questions regarding a specific experience when I had to work with a team.
Interview Questions
- Walk me through your resume Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.
Good and quick communication throughout, three rounds in total. First round included a maths test but this wasn't nearly as bad as the PST at McKinsey, it was the specific university recruiting test and not the case based one used in other cases.
Interview Questions
- First interviewer was a very friendly partner who asked me how much I wanted the job and asked positive and simple questions about my CV. Case Question: tell me how you think the drop in oil price has affected the world i.e. companies, governments, consumers etc. ...second interviewer picked away at my CV negatively and it was difficult not to feel defensive, he also seemed bored during the case. Answer Question
Helpful (1)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.
Recruited on-campus, had first and second round interviews, both at the BCG office. First round was done by consultants, second was by partner/principal. The partner/principal interview was much less structured than the first round (much less like the case interviews I prepared for), but that was fine. I got the feeling that the partner was really watching me closely as I answered to see if I was being authentic and to see how my performance during the interview would extrapolate to on-the-job performance.
Interview Questions
- Why do you not plan to return to the consulting firm you interned with last summer (where I had a return offer)? 1 Answer
Basically no negotiation for salary, since salaries are standardized across the company (you might be able to negotiate your base salary up, but at the end of the year there's a target salary they aim for, so your bonus will be adjusted to take this into account).
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Atlanta, GA).
Began with an online application followed by a phone interview with a series of behavioral questions. After that there were two rounds of case interviews. The case interviews were each 45 minutes and started with casual conversation and standard behavioral questions and then there was the case. The cases were never too bad, but make sure you understand how to structure your solution and really talk out what you're thinking and doing so the interviewer can follow you.
Interview Questions
- When was a time you had to change your stance on an issue? Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Los Angeles, CA).
First round interview: 2 back to back interviews with associates doing business cases. Spent a little time in the conference room mingling and eating the provided burritos. Wait 7-8 days...call from the recruiter asking me to come back in. He gave me feedback on what to do better and what I did well. Second round interview scheduled for two weeks later. Second (final) round interview: 3 back to back 45 min interviews with 2 case team leaders and 1 principal. Slightly more time spent on fit, but the case is the focus. Most important advice given to me: you have to nail ALL THREE cases to get the offer: I only nailed two, ce la vie...
Interview Questions
- Really nothing surprising if you're trying to get into consulting. Very little time spent on fit questions, just your average case studies. Lots of graphs... Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.
The whole process took about a month. Applied online to a SEA office, was contacted about a week after my application. Interviews were done in a top notch hotel, very organized, very nice people.
Interview Questions
- What are you doing here? Answer Question
No negotiation.
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.
I went to all the campus events and the people were extremely nice. Once I had been picked for first round interviews they introduced me to some current employees who would practice cases with me over the phone. The interview was two 45 min cases. The people were very nice but it seems BCG is looking for you to drive the case on your own more than some of the other consulting companies.

trouble with tivo series 2

I have a three year old tivo that has never failed me, until today. We had a power outage and now I get a message " welcome, powering up" but goes no further. I re-booted it by powering it down and back up but nothing has happened. Any ideas?

Ok, well, here is information i gathered from TIVO support. The hard drive is dead and I need to buy another one. My unit is only three years old, arggg!!!!

Too bad you didn't make an image of the hard drive before this happened. You could've restored the image on a new hard drive. You still might want to try it - you never know, it might work.
#4 of 19 OFFLINE
Posted September 24 2006 - 07:22 AM
A couple things -- if it has a lifetime sub, replacing the hard drive isn't terribly difficult thing to do. There are a couple services where you can either buy a drop and load Hard Drive or with a little computer ability you can do it for yourself. If you don't really have anything you want to attempt to save, then I might suggest a full erase and reset. I'm trying to remember if there is a button command to start over without having the disc boot up. If it's a nonlifetime sub., then it's probably just as easy to get a new receiver with all the deals out there.

Posted September 24 2006 - 07:58 AM
Thanks for your suggestions. No, I did not buy a lifetime thinking Charter would eventually come out with a DVR. They did but I still like the TIVO software much better. I have the HD DVR downstairs on my HDTV but don'y need it upstairs where the TIVO is. There really isn't anything I have to have on the TIVO, I just like the dark grey look of the older units. A new 80 hr with dual tuners would run $249 with a $150 rebate. I really wish that I could get this one running though, i'm not afraid to open the hood so that would not an issue but you are correct that it would be just as well to get a new one plus I would have the dual tuner capabilty that I do not have now. I just wish this thing would have lasted more than three years!

There's a hard drive in there spinning almost 24x7. It will fail. Both of my DirecTivos died in under a year. The first went 30 days after purchase. It's replacement has been going strong for over 5 years now. My HD DirecTivo died after 10 months. I didn't want to deal with D* so I replaced the drive myself. I bought a 320GB drive (the original was 250GB) and downloaded the appropriate InstantCake image from PTV Upgrade and was back up and running in a couple of hours. -Robert

Posted September 26 2006 - 06:37 AM
I just checked on the upgrade kits, why would I want to pay $100 for a new hard drive when I can get a new tivo for the same price, after rebate of course?

Then you have no reason to repair yours. Mine had a working HDMI port and I wasn't going to take a chance and get a refurb replacement with a broken port. -Robert

If you are handy inside a computer (hooking up drives, etc) and can follow the Hinsdale instructions, you can buy a 160GB Seagate drive at CompUsa for $40 or a 250GB WD at NewEgg for 65-70 and have basically a new machine with double/triple the storage capacity that you like the looks and function. Some weekends you can get them even cheaper -- I think there was a 160GB drive for 25-30 this weekend. Almost every week there are drives on sale for 18-20cents/GB and occasionally even less. I've put several new drives in about 4 different TIVO's over the years and it really is pretty simple though tedious. The Weaknees drives are already preconfigured and literally should be plug and play. The one my teenagers use was $40 for the TIVO, $70 for the 400GB drive I popped in as soon as I activated and has simplified the "which show do I tape, has everybody watched this show so I can erase and tape House this week, which tape is this show on routine that had gotten out of control." Bought the lifetime sub on it so as long as it lasts 3 years I come out ahead, pop a new hard drive in if/when that one fails and it's free for life after 26 months (or until I need a High Def TIVO). The optimistic hope would be a full reset/start over command would allow the drive to reset a corrupted file. If the harddrive itself is still working you could restore the image via a computer, pop the old drive back in, and that would be free (except for the time involved). There are ways to get a backup image if you need a image file. What specific unit do you have?

Posted September 27 2006 - 12:02 AM
I would love to get this thing going again, I am at work now so all I know is that it is a single tuner series 2 with the 80 hr. capacity. I can let you know this evening @ 8:00 when I can get to the box, or might call my wife to get the numbers. How might I reset the box? You mentioned there was a way, I can tell you we had a power blip that day and when we turned on the tv it came up, "powering up, please wait" and never went any further. I can hear the hard drive spinning although it might sound louder now. I am open to suggestions and I am not afraid to pop the hood on this thing.

Posted September 27 2006 - 11:32 AM
I was trying to find the instructions on just a hard reset via the remote, but I can't find anything definitive on a Series 2 with no front buttons. Unplug it for 15-20 minutes and replug. Sometimes it will restart. I don't know if this helps if you can't get past the Powering Up Screen to the second screen ("Almost there") though it sounds like if you hold down the Pause button at the Reboot you might be able to reset the receiver. This sounds like it might just reset the boot software and leave the recorded programs intact instead of doing a full Clean Out procedure. Even if it works you could still be on the verge of a HDD failure and may have to replace it soon enough, but it's probably worth a try. "While booting the power light will change from green to yellow. This happens a few seconds before the screen changes from the startup image to "almost there" and it's your cue to hold down a button (use pause) on the remote to trigger a panic. (You can also press and hold the pause key immediately after reboot.) When the record light changes yellow (or both lights turn yellow). 52 - emergency reinstall -- this will act like you've received new software but will reinstall the existing software on the alternate root partition and boot it, particularly useful so you don't have to go trolling for backup images when your hacks fail. 56 - software install 57 - mfs check 58 - perform mfs cleanup -- both of these will cause the green screen and various mfs checks (sometimes you won't see a green screen, but just get the "loading new software" screen even though it is mfs-checking)" I've used the Hinsdale Instructions a number of times and a couple of things. It's a Linux program, but usually needs a FAT32 formatted HDD to store the TIVO Reinstall Image so the typical NFTS partitioned WinXP doesn't usually work. I use an older computer I have stored in the closet that still has WInMe on it when I do the TIVO upgrades. The InstantCake costs $20, but is supposed to make things incredibly easy and works even if you don't have a stored TIVO backup image file though you can almost always find a kind soul over at TIVOCommunity.com to guide you to an "Image" If I haven't done it in over a year it almost always takes me a couple attempts to get the sequence correct which can be frustrating at times, but so far it's always been self inflicted from not reading the instructions correctly.

I was about to say that you guys were way over my head but I will give the remote codes a try. Funny you should need an older computer, mine is an old Dell PIII 500 with 98 SE but, at this point, would not want to remove anything in there for fear it too would stop working. Yes, I have cruised over to the tivo forums on a link Gordon provided and I did see the term image come up but when I said I was not afraid to open it up, I was referring to maybe install a new HD. That brings me back to the PTV upgrade path and $99. I will try some things this weekend, in the meantime, I have my Charter DVR downstairs filling the gap. Many thanks to both of you for your assistance with this, but you guys make me seem like a rank amateur, looks like i'll be shelling out for a new one if these codes don't fix it.

If you get a new one, the old one still has value for those who like to fix things or hack TIVO's. This is particularly true for some older models that allow manual recordings without TIVO service like most Series 1 and some of the early Series 2. There are always folks who can install a new image for the cost of the HDD and shipping. New TIVO's are cheap and always on sale. I haven't seen a deal for a Free TIVO with 2 year sub commitment in a while, but they used to be pretty common. CC has a Dual Tuner 80Hr for $60 this week after rebates(single tuner for 40) just to tempt you further.

When I get more time, I may attempt to fix this one, I believe it is one that would operate without the service, In the meantime though I do need to replace it and Best Buy is opening a new store in my town tomorrow (how convenient!) It doesn't get more tempting than that!

My $.02..........And I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but ......whichever option you end up choosing, I would make sure you put your TiVo, and any computer/HD based component, on a UPS/backup system. I don't do it for having access to material during an outage. Rather, these devices will handle brown outs and odd transient fluctuations much better than a standard surge protector can.
Usually, one can be found for $40 or less. It is worth the investment.
$39.99 at Office Depot
Ditto at CompUSA
And watch your weekend circulars.....there are often deals for sales on these. The 350 should be sufficient for TiVo/Computer usage......

Thanks, yes I do need one, my Charter DVR downstairs requires a re-boot every time the power flickers where as my tivo never has, but I think the power issues may have contributed to its demise. Thanks for the links!

If you want the type listed above watch for sales. That model was recently $20 with no rebates and I'm pretty sure they routinely run sales for that one. It's a little small for a computer, but should be fine for a TIVO/VCR. I got 3 of those during the last sale and a lot of the multi TIVO households picked up spares. Hard to go wrong with APC UPS's
