And as a side note, Ramez' nexus and crux are decent fiction books in which augmentation takes on a serious role...

What kills me is that the US Gov does pay for a fair amount of work (the military loved funding gcc for instance) I'd also point out that we've (google) spent scads of money on oss software development , orgs and the rest at Googl

Damn shame, we have a huge number of developers committing code to OSS projects. I'd be surprised if you actually worked at Google, as anyone who made it past their first week is welcome to our training on how to release, patch and in

Five years? You can buy smart phones for 30$ in shenzhen electronic malls today. I don't know your threshold for cheap, but considering feature phones sit at 25 to 20 in the same places.. The future is now :-)

From what we've seen (on the nasa/google installation) we're seeing quantum operation, but yes, once we see 2k qubit chips (which we hope happens within the year) that's when we'll know about whether there is an act

From what I can tell, it's a side effect of the way they architect the inter cell (a cell is 6 or 7 qubits) communications. This points to a larger problem of course, where we can show entanglement within the cell but cross cell entang

It is only 509 qubits. I keep wanting to say it has 512, too...

At Google we've capped it so that you'd not see 7 unless there is some need to revise the slate (different job to interview for, or a really badly formed interview) . In fact we found and target 5 nowadays as the statistical chang

Wait, aren't those you're calling to disrupt this the same you say are putting in very little effort?

In fact I'd go further and say it's pretty much industry standard for recruiters to go missing/contract ending mid-offer. It might sound aggro, but if you think you have an offer coming, it's not awful to email anyone yo

Till about 2006, the lunch "interviewer" was able to put in feedback, but was specifically told that they were not supposed to do it. Except for some smart alecks who would put in "Candidate held fork in left hand, was neat e

SoMa didn't have the ball park yet so it was kinda sketchy anywhere past the highway, and there were a bunch of weird muggings/knifings when a person of the wrong race would go to the wrong bar or place. We knew not to go the Kore

It's a pretty great office too. Lots of happy chicagoans work there.

Yep, it turns out that post Obama's use of Moderator (and then hangouts with moderator) we realized that this was only a taste of what can happen when you have a really popular person using your systems. Yes, I'm talking about Lad

I think it was during my video interview at OSCON? Who knows...someone should create a website that helps people find things.

That's really nice of you to say that. Thanks!

There's a notion that companies named after their open source project are more likely to succeed commercially than those that are not. So from that perspective, good for MongoDB. Of course I can come up with a number of counter example

Here's a paper that we felt answered this question: http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.4595 Like you, I was worried about the snake oil aspects of qc, but ...well, I got over it when I looked into the science of the d-wave implementation and talke

I think that tactic will help quite a bit no matter where you might apply, not just Google (though I can confirm it almost always helps to be an active open source developer. It's consistently help us decide positively on a number of candid

Affordability will come, the really difficult problem with the techology from a portable perspective is you need an exceptionally low temperature and very low vibration environment otherwise you'll never anneal. Yer qubits get too warm and

And don't forget that the larger sizes from vendors vary widely. A Ralph Lauren (black/purple) xl, xlb, xlt, 2xlt and 2xlb fit very different torso shapes and that's just one manufacturer. Also, monthly auto-clothing deliveries implies a le

One nit: I'm not seeing an open source license in the repo. This is what would keep me from using or caring about this code snippet or start caring about how the developer was being treated. Is there one and am I just missing it?

Imagine the trouble we could cause if we could. It would be glorious.

It shouldn't even be that expensive. You can designate a single region for way less than that (or at least you could, it's been years since I looked into it) and to trick it into the business press, you need to only add links like Google (N

What I'm getting from this is that Logitech has cancelled the Sqeezebox line, which is too bad, they were nice devices, though admittedly once Logitech took over, I stopped caring as much (they were a local firm in Mountain View across the
