These are actually some of the same questions I use when interviewing JavaScript programmers. Particularly the call/apply question, I got a bit of flack on HN about that one but I explained it the same way as the author...if they know

Obviously I don't have the specifics about you or this particular startup, but I can speak in general. A startup this early in the game has a 99% of being out of business in a few years, so you have to consider that. Let's take tw

If the FAA gets it's act together then drones (aka flying personal butlers) could certainly be it. The disruption they could bring to delivery, courier, security, tourism, gaming, etc could be huge. All noble uses for the technology,

I wonder if the solutions will be similar to what worked in the developing world or entirely new. You don't even have to go to the developing world to find opportunity. There are services that exist in the US that simply don't e

Do any of these services give you any insight into what variable drove the decision? I get that they can tell you the target variable (e.g. these people are likely to buy), but can they tell me that the age and gender fields had a higher co

Any guesses who would be the most likely buyer? Google, Yahoo, Apple, or Microsoft would be obvious candidates, maybe Facebook. I'd be interested to see Facebook buy them and get all those reviews and reviewers integrated into the grap

Big companies seem to have it written in their DNA that 3-5% is a standard raise, and 10% is the theoretical maximum anyone could ever get. I've made it a mission to prove them wrong, even if it means switching companies every other ye

The worst thing to happen to me was also the best. Back in 2006 I put in my 2 week notice after 5 exemplary years at the company. With 3 days to go I was fired for a frivolous reason (my boss was a vindictive type of guy). I was supposed to
