Don't put too much thought into this. We had ~1 view when I applied a year back and we got called in for interviews.

Even if I make a call from Skype to my cell phone, I can hear the audible "ring" on Skype long before my actual phone begins to ring.

Microsoft is not shy about "posturing themselves as opponents to Android", and has been doing so for a long time. It's not really a surprise here.

There was a really cool project a few months back of a variation of vertical scrolling, where the current page is "peeled" back revealing the next page from top to bottom. The effect was you can read as you normally would but lines are stat

Client side saving is already implemented. In a few instances where I disconnected from the server and continued to play, SimCity would try to push my work to the server on reconnect. At times this wouldn't work and I would lose my progress

This is known as "the halting problem". A very fundamental problem to computer science. There are some clever strategies used to minimize this issue, but it currently has no solution.

Definitely not at the cutting edge of phone design either.

No way that the data connection is 100% of their cost.

Except for the fact that the receiver is getting a letter in the mail from someone they've never met informing them that they are owed money. Pretty much screams scam, even though it isn't in this instance.

You almost make it sound as if it could be done if you didn't care about scalability and "nice to haves". Make me the site he described, and have it work for only 1 user, even half the time, and I'll give you $1000 gladly.

Comical statement, but CAPTCHA's were indeed created because of need (bots exist, and aren't make believe!).

It's not Google's job to protect the rights of other companies. Plus, the way you phrase it, you're say that you wish Google would have held out to make it easier for future competitors to upset them. Sure the outcome sucks, but your commen

Are you sure you're not referring to animated GIFs ? The slow FPS rate occurs as they load, and is contained to the GIF itself. Surely a static GIF would not reduce your browser FPS.

Except this has actually been a blackberry feature for years . I'm not sure why this is being advertised as a BB10 feature. I had this 6 years ago on my blackberry phone.

Different in that app.net is supposed to be fully accessible and is more "yours" then it is on Facebook.

Ruby is really plagued by security concerns at the moment, even though most of them seem to be stemming from the same issues. Just makes me wonder how many blackhats figured these out years ago and have been abusing them under everyones nos

Don't want to throw anyone under the bus, many of them are actually YC funded! I respect the companies a lot, but their interviews are incredibly stressful.

I'm actually insanely jealous of you if a "What the fuck" interview was about binary trees and linked lists. All my interviews have /started/ at that point and gotten way worse. I still get anxiety thinking about some of my job interviews.

The isDeleted flag is good because it gives the appearance that the data is gone, without removing the context of the data itself. Immutable facts are great if you want to: 1) Avoid a large amount of updates/race conditions on your tables.

Average programmer definitely could. Average applicant, maybe not.

Exploit because it's based on a loophole. Lots of things are legally excusable because they are worded poorly or too vaguely, but it's usually easy to see the /intention/ of such wording. Taking advantage of the difference between the inten

Multiple people can't read a book simultaneously; would be consecutively or time sharing which isn't social. Theatres enforce a payment per customer per view and is thus obviously favoured by the movie industry. Books have no equivalent. Yo

Exactly what I want in my life. A way for companies to track me and my friends inside my own home.

The problem with this is they can't enforce the amount of people watching. It could be just you or maybe you and 10 friends.

That would be a sound cloud issue, no?

Their use of algorithmic prices means that you can sometimes get domains on GoDaddy for cheaper than other registrars. Price is something that is hard to argue against.

As someone pointed out earlier, Zap.com is a publicly traded company, with a 5.5m market cap. The odds of this being given away for anything less than 5.5m is about as close to 0% as you can get.

Honestly I don't get it. While the story is cool, it really just seems like you're comfortable blowing several thousand dollars on what, lets be honest, is a very, very unlikely chance at securing a domain name. I know this story speaks of

AFAIK Kindle apps have roughly the same abilities as Android itself, so using those APIs should be no problem. I don't really see why Amazon is limiting this to the Kindle platform.
