It's actually all Engineering departments. The Science, Arts and Math faculties also have either optional or compulsory coop degrees for their students.

In Canada the system is slightly different. We usually don't have as many internships as we have coops. The main differences between the two are the following: * Coop is usually paid * It's usually technical. * Some universities have progra

But it's because of those lofty ideas that we have so many great things now. Just because someone does not posses the knowledge of his/her peers regarding a certain field, does not necessarily make them unqualified to work in that field. On

I was an intern at a YC company (Allerta of inPulse) during the W2011 term, and I got to attend a few YC dinners and meeting. I can say that Steven Levy was always there, always jotting down stuff and meeting and talking to people. I was qu

There is a previous post on HN, which talked about how rich kids have already won the career game. There are quite a few similar points raised in that article, and even a few answers to questions raised in this article. Reading both will de

I don't know about the rest of you but I didn't expect the packaging to be any better. Let's be honest, while the packaging will be nice to see when the product arrives, after that one initial time it probably doesn't serve much of a purpos

Well it probably won't help you if you bomb the interview, but at the same time, chances of bombing the interview are considerably lowered, since by the end of the degree we would go through 30 if not even more interviews, so you should hav

The thing with Canadian universities is that the financial aid isn't that great to begin with. Most of the aid comes from the gov't (at least in Ontario through OSAP). Most students do not qualify for it since their parents' income is too h

I think the biggest fallacy of all of these articles is that people don't seem to give any thought to the fact that they only see updates from a handful of people. The reason why that is, is because FB has algorithms to figure out who you a

That's probably the fastest instance of Godwin's Law at work. Regarding the article however, I'd agree with Bill, though I can see both of their points. The problem with kids/teens is that most are lazy by default. I was relatively lazy too

I've met PG too last week at one of the famous YC dinners. He was a really cool and down to earth guy, but it was really exciting to meet you. And the best thing about him is his memory. He will remember the most peculiar things about peopl

Well I don't know of how many previous black founders were in YC, however, I know for sure there is at least 1 in the current batch. I've attended one of the YC dinners only last week, and I saw him there, though i did not have the opportun

I would love to have been in the room, when the execs heard about it and decided on the note, or to see the face of the guy when he received the iPad again. Either way, great PR move Apple.

But the true question is: could Circles be used as a verb? "Hey, I'll circle you. Don't worry." Yes you can! So Circles is a possible contender to FB piece of the pie.

yeah I'm doing that. It seems to work only when I use my keyboard. Clicking on the actual keys doesn't work. I have Ubuntu 10.10 32bit and Chrome 9.0.597.107 The CAPS lock also doesn't light up.

And on Chrome on Linux, it doesn't work at all, as in nothing gets typed. However it's still pretty cool from an effect perspective.

If you don't enjoy driving, there are alternatives such as public transportation for short surfaces, and trains/airplanes for longer. And I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just saying.
