It's true, here's a more accurate statement: In my opinion, hard evidence of the utility of my product outweighs hard evidence, if any, of the utility of (at least) his brand of religion. As to the fact that his belief drives him to stand

It is somewhat sad how transparent your bias is. You seem to be painting all low cost private schools with the same brush as institutions where the rote learning of religious texts is the main goal by calling it "the Wahhabi road of teachin

It is true in transportation. That's what my startup does. More respect - oh yes. More money - we think so. The early signs are good. More low hanging fruit in terms of satisfaction or directly helping your users improve their life - most d

This seems to be the approach du jour to 'curing information overload', but a recommendation system typically manifests itself as yet another information source. In my experience, they always exacerbate the problem.

"Google has minimal if any connection to their users." I think, at the very least, almost every Gmail and Android user would disagree. Not to mention users of search, docs, voice etc. etc.

Well, even if there was a depiction, so what? The issue is crazies threatening to kill someone over a cartoon. What the cartoon depicted or did not depict is moot.

Awesome. I am on the other side as well, and the next time I need a contractor, I'm going straight to this spreadsheet. Aside: Best answer to "Why are you doing this" is by cmos: "To support my cat" :)

In the absence of politics, with a guarantee of a fair boss, and if [(decent salary+bonus) > high salary] this would be true. As things stand, and people being people, I (and most people, I think) would prefer the high salary, especiall

This is especially true in Google's case, since there's no shortage of candidates willing to wait. This is the key reason it works for Google. I really like Google's products and hope that y'all continue doing the kind of work that has ma

I agree that quality takes precedence over speed, any day. Having said that, I would like to make the following points: 1) From the experience of close friends, it is not an extra week. It is typically at least an extra month. Some times it

As with all committees, Google's hiring committees seem to fail at one important metric: speed. I know a lot of smart kids who didn't end up at Google because it took them two or three months to hear back about their interview results and b

To me, the S100 bus always represented a parallel universe in personal computing. An elegant alternative to the puzzling layout of the 5150. I'm too young/ignorant to know why or how the s100 was superior. Could you elaborate?

IMO three things contribute to higher superstition. 1) People are more religious, even in the younger generation. (Having said that, it is important to note that religious != fundamentalist for most young, educated Indians. At least in my c

The swastika sign is somewhere between a religious superstition and a cultural thing. There are folks who believe that if they don't do that sort of thing it's a bad omen and there are folks who do it only out of respect for tradition. Havi

Look, don't take this personally. I use Facebook everyday so clearly Zuck and his team (y'all) are doing something right. It is perhaps unavoidable that there will be a certain "dear leader" aspect to any essay on "How to work with the boss
