   A lot of fresh college graduates travel for a bit before starting their job. Anecdotally, all of friends used money from past internships/summer jobs and signing bonuses to pay for their trips. It really is not that expensive to travel

   I chatted with a Yahoo engineer at a college career fair a few years back and passed him my resume. A few weeks later, I got an email saying they were interested in interviewing me. I sent them my availability. A full year later, they email

   But how much profit did that generate? I don't see any mention of profit in the article.

   I used Parse a few years ago to serve as a backend for a simple event aggregation app. It was incredibly simple to use and integrate with. I probably spent on the order of ~1hr reading documentation and another 2 hours doing some quick and

   A slightly different UI for digesting the firehose. With ads embedded directly into your twitter stream, it's so easy to just gloss over ads. Hell, it's so easy to skip past quality tweets as well since there is just so much comin

   Machine learning only going to be more and more relevant in the tech industry. Eventually you're going to have to deal with some sort of data analysis, just because there is little to no barrier from data collection to data analysis. I

   I use CLRS more as a reference than anything else. If I need to quickly review some data structures or algorithms for an interview, I'll look up the relevant chapters in it. If I really want to understand something like max flow-min cu

    I'd say for large companies(Google, Fb, MSFT, etc), theres no need to send a cover letter. These companies get thousands of applications every single recruiting cycle. Is it even possible for HR to review every single cover letter? Ane

    Does Paribus get anything out of this besides data? Do company's buy Paribus's data?

    That's still a bit slower than it needs to be. The real trick to doing something like is seeing that we have 10(18x16) = 10(17^2 - 1) = 10(289-1) Having the first 30 squares committed to memory has been pretty useful for me.

    Can we all just reserve judgement until Zuckerberg does something with the money? I'm hoping he'll be able to do something along the lines of what Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation have done/are doing.

    This is great to hear. I wonder if they're pumping some of this money into TTI-C as part of this initiative.

    7 figures is a huge exaggeration. You can live comfortably on 80-100k in NYC. Not everyone needs to live in Manhattan. Rent in the outer boroughs can be very affordable if you look in the right places. You can still indulge from time to tim

    I think part of the problem is mobile UI. If someone doesn't have the Google search bar widget or the search app on their phone(android) then they have to pull up the Chrome/FF to search. Pulling up a browser app will reload the l

    Will YC Research only focus on applied research ideas? Specifically, I'd like to know about whether or not researchers in pure math, theoretic cs, theoretical physics, etc will have a place at YC Research.

    Sure, but my original point is that greed/power are not the only reason to take these finance jobs.

    You can't think of any other motivation besides greed or addiction to power? Consider 1st generation college graduates from immigrant families who have the chance to singlehandedly lift their families out of poverty by accepting these

    Produce from any of the Chinatowns(Manhattan, Flushing, 8th ave) is pretty reasonable.

    This is pretty spot on. Are the best new grads still going to the giants(Google, FB, Microsoft)?
