I have a friend who interned with them. They also give actual offers to distinguished candidates, which though it should be relatively standard is often not the case.

But if cars are renewed annually with, say, one major revision every 4-5 years then the critical lifespan should be about double the time between major upgrades. That way old products can't be killed the day they're updated.

Alright: I generally do call them directories. I grew up in UNIX. But we're talking about icons and UX here. Do you consider the "desktop" to be so infantilizing as well? 1: filesystem > directories > files 2: Desktop > Folders

The only real issue I have with it is that it's no more about the clipboard than copy– they're both related but neither one is it . I think in this particular example it's not so obvious that anything is coming off the clipboard. I can see

Offtopic, but it's amazing to realize that Avalonstar is 11 years old! I guess I was pretty small when it started but I remember following Brian's work I guess as far back as my first computer purchase...

Around halfway through I jotted down a few thoughts. I like and appreciate people thinking about this sort of thing however, so I'm not saying any of this to offend. > I don't see any reason that we couldn't be storing our files in abst

“I don’t know anything. No one tells me anything. I am not in the least bit interested [in buying back TechCrunch]. I was Team Pando all the way until Sarah Lacy fired me. That does not change my position on TechCrunch.” Can anyone explain?

Same for Japan unfortunately. Although there is a growing trend of just ignoring the notifications and being careful with your passports... it's been fine for a number of people I've talked to, but I'm still curious as to how easy it would

I don't think forum complaints are a very god indicator of the overall difficulty. Across all the courses these last couple months there have been a huge number of posts about X is too hard, I'm giving up, "y dunt pr0f mek qestuns ezr?", et

The US doesn't need them– but they'd love to sell them to other countries to recoup some of their costs. Too bad their pricing difficulties have pretty much ruined any chance of that working though, as Japan's already announced that they do

I didn't notice until I read this and pulled up the page again. My connection is apparently fast enough for it not to matter, but I was watching the DNT+ badge. 4... then 6... then incrementing up to 14 blocks. I guess they've got a lot g

Depends on how data-nuts they can actually go. If they wanted to get really nuts and they actually stored all the data they can track, from your house, car, phone calls, etc... think what any extremely intelligent and powerful (i.e. resourc

My question is how effective will this be based on showing the number of likes alone? If you go to the store and see a string of numbers associated with each item on sale at what point does it lose its meaning? For example, I see one item o

The downside of course is that it would more than likely bias people's attention towards negative reviews / low ratings. The low-tech solution could be to simply print the good ratings ("4/5 from customers since 2009", "Most liked on FB", e

I was scanning to see if anyone had already said it. Agree with all of the do-betters. #4, whether the charge is one-time or recurring is the most important to me and takes just a tiny edit.

I started reading Road to Reality very casually– bought the book one day, next day I was in a Starbucks enjoying it and my tea. 10 minutes later one of the employees takes a break and the only table open is next to mine near the back. After

I think "no idea" is a poor choice of language for the YCombinator application in my opinion. The first bit of the introduction was much better: > We're going to have a separate application track for groups that don't have AN idea yet

Paranoia: in 20 years when you try to go online with your MacBook, it defaults to a kernel message, "Unfortunately this hardware is too old to connect to the U-net and is no longer supported. Please upgrade at ____". I don't buy it, but it

I am addressing the second part only so far as it affects his observations. Otherwise I agree with his post (especially the complex issue part, heh). But in response to your paraphrase, my hope is that they don't end up locked in to that du

Have you taken either of the CS101 courses? Udacity's has already wrapped up and started a new 'hexamester' though Coursera's has just started. I prefer the Coursera lectures generally but with CS101 at least I think Udacity was much more e

It could be 100% accurate but I still don't think it does anything to help the argument that a degree/credits shouldn't matter. I've gotten used to people requiring an explanation for a degree from TXCC, but frankly some of those top-school

I thought their revision the first time around was a good way of doing it. i.e. giving HW deadlines but at the end grading by the exam only if that was a better score. That way it's as if you get credit for staying on pace, but none taken a

Even if you can demonstrate your skills to an employer, what are your chances of an admissions committee even being willing to click the link? I have an A.S. in graphic design, a few years into a B.Arch, and am finishing my B.A. in Philosop
