It would be even more convincing if these former finance types gave away (or were forced to give away) their massive bonuses. Until that happens, people will still want to work for finance for a few years of mad cash, then quit and tell peo

What's "damning" about them? That they show that Google engineers have a sense of humor and the freedom to express it?

While I agree that their logic may be a bit suspect, your counterexample is also false. Chinese kids who do not command at least passable English are barred from the best (or even slightly above-average) schools and jobs. So yes, they do pa

That is cool. Can't save an entire company though. Might up their worth when they try to sell off their patents.

I'm home sick right now with a mild headache and dizziness. I thought it wouldn't hurt to browse hacker news for a bit. Then that black/green color scheme hit me.

just how awesome can a URL shortener get? tbh, I'm surprised bit.ly is a company and not just a guy's hobby.

Why not? It's a large corporation with many branches and technical needs, some of which are harmless to open-source. Despite its reputation, I don't think they go through their day thinking "hmm... we could open-source this, or we could go

Congrats on your job and all, but I don't think a counter-offer with a raise should be taken as the action of a "skeezy jerk." It sounds like a reasonable reaction to losing a good employee. Financial considerations are a significant part o

the bigger news here is that people are still using angelfire. i half expected that the ads on top were from linkexchange.

not really. i know they publish a lot of good papers though. the only exception is kinect. that was a game-changer.

I think this is rather unfair as the main difference here is that Google has demonstrated an active commitment to technologically groundbreaking projects, namely the robot car. While it has not been brought to market either, it is clearly a

Nope. CVPR doesn't have too much biology in it (it does have a little). It tries to do a bit of cogsci, but it's mostly ML applied to vision. It generally doesn't use applications in the medical field either (there are bigger conferences fo

Are you sure 'Syria' hasn't simply fired off FB's own automated spam filters? Everybody is posting about Syria these days to the point that I've started ignoring them. Too bad Facebook likes alone don't actually equate to real-life change.

Are TWSS jokes considered offensive now? If so I'm going to have to go to work with tape on my mouth because usually I just can't turn it off!

If it's Eur17 a semester, then I absolutely encourage you to go into literature/art. You won't be taking on crushing debt in tuition, and you can always go back and study something employable in the future if you so desire. The problem only
