At the end of the day the responsibility for recruitment is with the company management. Recruiters could have a role to play, but it is above their pay grade to decide what kind of candidates you want. They could surely help sourcing and p

You need to closely screen and supervise your recruiters. Start with an open-ended question: "how would you go about sourcing candidates for XXX position", "how would you screen them", "how would you entice them"? Listen closely to what the

Thanks, will definitely check it out. Still, this is the sort of thing Google should have rolled out themselves as part of G+. Having a tool like this could be one of most significant tools for their user retention.

The feature G+ is missing the most is being able to use it to post into Facebook and Twitter. I like the idea of having an alternative to Facebook, I would love to see G+ succeed, but the real problem is the time it requires to manage multi

That's a great summary and I'll add a few points here. VCs and press have very short attention spans. They are only interested when someone they know and respect is interested. Because they are constantly bombarded with crap, they constantl

I have not encountered DDoS attacks directed at my own properties, but I had domains hosted on Namecheap that were hit when their DNS got DDoS'd a few times last year. There is plenty of coverage of this if you just do a search: http://www

Actually there is absolutely no need to wait till you are running $10K cloud bill to buy your own hardware. There are plenty of real cheap second-hand boxes you can buy from equipment recycling companies. The real killer with the cloud is b

Adding SSD is not linear scaling. SSD has entirely different characteristics from rotational drives which in itself brings 1-3 orders of magnitude I/O performance improvement. Trying to fit high I/O workloads on spinning disks is a lot like

Of course, you'd have to upgrade from vanilla MySQL to Percona to take advantage of this option. Given that Percona is fully backwards compatible with MySQL, while adding this and many other tuning options, I just cannot see a reason to use

There is no point of taking these metaphors too far or too seriously. The idea of painkillers vs. vitamins is a must have vs. nice to have. Call it painkiller, antidepressant or get-out-of-jail ticket the concept is the same. My favorite me

The only thing that really matters is overall system performance, which means software / hardware combination. It is hard to see the benefit of ignoring SSD to get high I/O performance vs. redesigning the software around I/O bottlenecks. Re

Quoting from the article: ============================= What to do? I wish I could say you should use Percona Server with XtraDB. If we were using SSD as storage, then I would recommend it. Vanilla MySQL performs equally bad on SSD and HDD,

Not really, if you are using hardware of this size chances are you are hosting it yourself and can install SSDs. Solid State Drives is the easiest solution to most problems requiring high I/O throughput and data persistence. Too bad most cl

This is really a no-brainer. If you are offering API you want to make it as easy as possible to adopt and implement. However, perhaps it is advisable to go even one more step beyond providing "starter projects" and suggest actual use cases.

I would expand this premise by saying that a launch should be about unveiling the company , not the product . Once the product trickles out and gets adopted quietly you establish a track record of results. THEN you can tell the world abou

That's exactly why it is a bad idea to use most cloud systems when you need high database performance. With our own hardware in our own colo we can optimize performance to exactly suit our system needs. The biggest benefit is being able to
