Exceptional teachers work more, and provide much more for their students. However the vast majority of teachers are not exceptional. As a thought exam think about what are they doing off the clock? Most likely grading or setting exams. T

Thanks, wiki continues to provide detailed information in the deep links on the page. It seems we are witnessing a case of failure upon failure. Truly a horrific tragedy for the country and the world.

Can someone provide background information on the type of reactor at Fukusima, it's age, and it's failsafe mechanism. I was under the impression that no modern reactor would sustain criticality in the event of a failure.

Google's philosophy is that the more people who use the web, the better it is for Google. They believe that they are better than any competitor at monetizing the web, and so will win by helping others. So the more interaction with the web

What you linked to is an animation of a Ted talk by Daniel Pink. This in turn comes out of his book Drive. The thesis is that a higher paycheck will not spur greater creativity; it says nothing about what will spur one to move laterally t

Why not? The pay is lower than Google, equity is below that of Facebook and rather meager, it doesn't provide the freedom of a startup, and 80 percent of the job is navigating politics. I have my list of why it's a great place to work, but

One thing not taken into account in this discussion is the natural limitation of career growth. Everyone has a cap on their advancement. Some devs hit that cap after 4 years, some after ten. But a smaller and smaller percentage of employ

Verizon iPhone owners are buying very few apps relative to other iPhone owners. This also seems unlikely. I would like to see more data to address this question. Especially interesting would be data form anyone delivering a free ios app.

Mitzenmacher, the author of Probability and Computing, has an interesting survey on cookoo hashing. In it there are a number of open research problems that, for those of you with interest, a worth looking over. The 7th is very interesting

Although you are right that it does not take much of an effort to carry and maintain a reusable bottle; it does take more effort in comparison to prefetching a carton of evian under your bed. There is no washing, if you misplace 12oz of ev

I would do absolutely nothing. The primary reason I can see you asking this question is that you are looking for justification to take revenge upon your ex. If that is correct, it is better for your own well being to move on. Even so, the

The thing you are missing is convenience. Bottled water is easily kept at temperature in diverse locations, is extremely portable, and immediately accessible. There are no fountains in classrooms. And that's the point. Bottled water isn'

There's an excellent quote from the Korean file "My Sassy Girl" about this. To paraphrase, "Never tell a child he's smart, after a while he'll begin to believe it and start to get lazy."

I don't see any benefit in allowing the domain to stay up while the trial proceeds. So you believe in guilty until proven guilty? The content of 83990 sites was taken down, none of which had any disturbing or illegal content. There is gr

I had a reasonable expectation; everyone should have a reasonable estimation of their skills from what you do in your side projects and how others regard you. Google hires solid engineers, not just the top 1%.

I agree, but would suggest a higher level course focusing on the works of Quine and Davidson may be of interest to an analytic mind. For a cs student with a strong mathematics background, a propositional logic course is often too basic. I
