Google matches up to $12K in charitable contributions per employee. It used to be $6K, but during one of the weekly all-hands, an employee asked if it could be raised (to match the recent pay raise that was happening at that time). Two days

It's definitely not outside of the realm of possibility. I know several people at that level right out of university (undergrad)

I imagine he'll probably run that story when it actually happens. If reality appears to have a pro-Microsoft bias to you, I think that's your problem, not his.

Exactly. Not to mention 3.0 has been out for less than a month. Are you really acting as if the fact that major distributions haven't switched yet is a point against it?

What gives you the idea he is missing aesthetic taste? You do realize that Linus (or any of the kernel devs) are not in any way responsible for the decisions groups like Gnome or KDE may make, right?

I think his Point #5 should say "knock something OUT", not "knock something UP". If someone asks you to knock something up, you should probably ask your wife for permission first.

Right. That was our biggest deviation from their numbers. There's quite a lot of things that could account for it -- both of us are using imperfect heuristics to classify them, and they didn't exactly explain their methodology with regards

I've scoured the text, but I just can't see it :( Where's the mistake?

Obama's answers? They were way too long to include in an infographic, but you can watch them at http://askobama.twitter.com

We disagree; there's very few other situations where you can get a quantitative look at which issues have mindshare. Most of the time the reporters get complete veto power. We saw a rare opportunity to apply technology to something it doesn

Unfortunately, geo-tagging in the Twitter API is still hardly ever used -- in almost 100,000 #AskObama tweets, less than 500 of them were tagged. At the same time we felt that location was an interesting metric, since the country is often p

The Town Hall just ended, and the entire topic of drug law reform was conspicuous only by its complete absence :( This will be part of the upcoming post-mortem for sure.

That's one of the ones that got picked, towards the beginning. We'll have a post-mortem up of everything soon.

This paper was published in the American Mathematical Monthly, a journal which is mainly known for its expository articles, not necessarily for original research. For that purpose (exposition) this paper does its job admirably. Whether it's

I saw Martin Odersky use this exact problem in a talk he was giving about Scala. It came out to about 10 lines.

Out of curiosity, has the original kernel patch been merged into mainline yet? Which version will it be launching in?

You're joking, right? The fact that you weren't one of the thousands to receive a free laptop makes Google developer-unfriendly?
