    Don't forget that great hackers didn't become great by wanting to be so. They started working on a problem -- just like any other entrepreneur -- but their abilities to make machines do what they wanted was what set them apart. Technology

    Google makes $4 billion in profit on $22 billion in revenue. I'm pretty sure they're not going anywhere. They're more like Microsoft than an internet company now.

    I'm pretty sure Google uses a variant of Dijkstra's algorithm by default. Here's a thread where they go through how to use Dijkstra's manually with the GMaps API: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread...

    The essay reminded me of the blog "Overcoming Bias," the whole point of which I believe is that by removing these minor biases that we pick up as part of ourselves we can become more rational, smarter people.

    These results, at least so far (ath=16, dei=4, the=5), are encouraging. I know you'd expect to see less religion in a science and tech community, but I've never seen anything beyond my group of friends, even in the scientific community, wh

    I mean, yeah sure, it's like this other reply below: > Profit is down 95%, not net revenue. If they made $1,000,000,001 in revenue on $1,000,000,000 in expenses last year, and had identical expenses but made 95¢ less this year, then the

    You list Tippingpoint Labs and Held Media Group as "current"--why wouldn't you work there, espcially if you're founder-level at the latter? Surely a serious internship would ask you to step away from your responsibilities at both of those
