The John Cleese video is a must watch. Thanks for sharing.

As speculative as it seems, this coincides with that mapping company Apple bought in recent times. Forgot the name of the company, but they had some beautiful 3D views of select cities. For all you know Apple might make 3D maps standard in

If I understand properly, pg is looking for great people who may not have the 'greatest billion dollar idea'. This individual he is looking for, has creativity, has built products and is a passionate technologist, not an empty-head. I think

As far as I know, while on a H1B, you can definitely start something on the side, but you can't get a salary for this activity legally. So as long as you are just coding and developing an app, for example is perfectly fine. This can be your

Thank you. Exactly what I wanted to convey.

Very good points. I was initially enamored by the glamor of dynamic typing and to some extent I still like the concept of not having to declare anything. It's like driving on the Autobahn without any speed limitations. However, since I hav

Just wondering if you guys are setting the default language of the site based on the browser's location. The site opens up in Hindi as I'm accessing it from Bangalore.

What really intrigues me is the fact that the captain didn't take control of the plane after returning from his nap. If a respected pilot with 11,000 flying hours to his credit made that mistake, I can't imagine what his mind must have gone

On a rather different note, a very comfortable setup can be achieved. Setup a neat iPad mount on a wall with a comfortable viewing distance and say goodbye to neck strain :).

This is way too cool. Wonder if the device can actually detect the number of people in the room and adjust the temperature for that room accordingly. Not sure how this will work in age old central heating systems which contain one thermosta

In this context, yes. Not a generalization.

If a startup idea is really solid and has a potential for revenues, lets say in the short term ( < 1 year), do these market conditions affect funding such a startup idea. I mean, why would a VC or an angel not be convinced to invest in

No, it wouldn't be illegal as the journalist is purely speculating without any insider information. However, if the money involved in the trade is high and SEC's eyes fall on the trade - there is a possibility of an investigation but that w

Yep, that's what exactly I meant by smarter. Perhaps I should have been rather explicit. Smart doesn't necessarily mean intellectual. For a rich guy, it might mean someone who's richer (here the fact that the other person is richer implies

Echo that. It's not just clevers (as the author has coined the word), but everyone wants to be with smarter people. Have u heard anyone say - I'll hang out with this good for nothing dude. This article is a joke.

Just a tip - How to answer the McD question: McD are spread worldwide - so assume some figures for the leading consumer nations. For ex - 70% of US population, 50% of Japanese population etc consume at least 1 McD burger/meal a day. Now com

As others have pointed out, how is this a problem ? If the VCs are offering cash out to founders and early employees - it's just to sweeten the bitter side of a non-acquisition. It's not like the founders will take the cash out and retire t

For all those based out of India - here's the contact for Bone Marrow donations. I called their number but no one's picking (probably because it's a Saturday). I'll call again on Monday. Perhaps someone from Amit's family/friends can contac

Thank you. I found the Indian address and called them but no one's picking up the phone. I'll try again on Monday.

Well, doesn't look like a review to me. It's rather a collection of data gathered from various sources.

How about people based in the sub-continent. Do you necessarily have to be based out of US or Canada to donate.

This is very elegant. Just a couple of questions - Using await - is the program flow suspended until the corresponding function returns , or does await keyword act more like a 'pause and continue' mechanism.

To add to your point - This feature is very much required not only for people living paycheck to paycheck but also for people holding multiple accounts. I've had many instances in which my BOFA account was overdrawn simply because I didn't

Thanks. From the Article "Results showed that whilst the average time to form a habit was 66 days, more complex behaviours took longer, whilst an exercise habit took longer to form than a healthy eating or drinking habit". So learning RoR o

Well my friend, u've just drawn the wrong analogy here. Perhaps you have little or no idea of large scale software development. No developer can take a piece of code with him/her - implications are horrible. Even if they did, the code is pr

Tt takes 10 minutes for my Lenovo L412 to boot and come to a 'working condition'. There is a reason we don't turn off the laptops. However, given the dismal battery life of 2 hours sometimes we are forced to, and it's not a pleasant experie

There is a reason for that bias - and that is credibility of the candidates. Imagine, in a pool of potential hires, having to shuffle through 90% chaffe to get to the 10% grain in a humanly impossible timeframe. Elite institutions solve thi
