That's a good idea. Thanks! I'm curious at what the usual pay is like though - do startups really try to compensate you with more options/equity than with salary?

Where's the best place to find a place to rent in NYC? And how would I tell if it's a relatively safe neighbourhood?

Congratulations on your startup! In my opinion, you could check out what kind of courses they typically offer in their curriculum at MIT/etc and check out their corresponding courses on OCW. Since you're doing this out of sheer fun, don't b

Sounds like a good opportunity. Are there developer positions in Toronto? (I had a look at the careers' site and there seems to be many senior positions so I'm not sure if I can fit in)

Will this mean that you will need a tiny army to check everyone? I'm just curious at how you would be able to handle say 2000 people trying to be a tutor? Qualifications are also easy to be fraudulent. On a side note, I hope you don't take

Everything is mostly always measured by money. And it seems like the author of the post reckons it's really easy for everyone to become entrepreneurs. I would say let the kids do what they want with their life - provide some guidelines but

Sadly, the teachers are sometimes not motivated to inspire their students. It might be the case that they are teaching because of the need to do it instead of wanting to do it. Some are just doing it to complete their MScs and PhDs which is

How will they verify these qualifications are completely accurate? If they can prove that their tutors are of actual quality then maybe. I can see something like an Elance test happening to try and control the quality of listings.

Hi there, I'll give you my 2 cents worth as I definitely felt the same way and even more so when I went out to work. A CS degree is probably not required for most work out there. Even though some put it as a requirement to narrow the criter

So I'm guessing Google can't claim ignorance (i.e. did not check all code line by line for copyright material) when they bought Android as a defence statement?

by gawker 16y ago
I wonder if the code was copied before Google bought Android or after. And would they be able to just pay licensing to Oracle for the code? I don't get one thing. I thought Java is supposedly open-source? How come there's proprietary source

I'd love to contribute (been looking for a Python project to contribute all this while) but I'm fairly new and haven't much a clue. I guess the best way to start is to get the project and play around with it but I was hoping if you have any

Google Wave - under thought and over engineered? And this is coming from a screenwriter - NOT a designer. NOT an engineer. I thought it was a great experiment. Shut down yes, but it's being open-sourced and I can see people will pick it up.

Sure! While I can't recall any on the top of my head (I'll be sure to send you some if I come across it again - will make an effort to try again at a later date), it's usually more to deal with very specific technical terms. Maybe overly sp

Yeah I feel your pain. I submitted a question. Time expired and after the round closed, it said I hadn't submitted anything and thus I am disqualified.

Are they just aggregating search results from various websites and putting it all together into one package?

by gawker 16y ago
My mates installed it for me and I didn't make it past the first day. Search results wasn't accurate enough for me so I went back to Google.

These questions definitely do make sense. If you look at Google's white papers and research, you'll see that their creative implementations allow them to use commodity hardware to build a huge server farm. This allows them to scale quickly

Agreed. And it seems like "professional world" only involves the United States. Last I heard, we have more than 1 country in this world. Pretty sure many other actual world-class firms would take these grads.

You can say that again. Reminds me of having to reinstall Windows 95 and swapping out 13-ish floppy disks. The good old days!

Tutoring everyday but that's only because there aren't many good jobs if you didn't have decent education.

His management style isn't what something I would call liberal either. The success that he's achieved is based on control and demanding the best.

It seemed like a great joke and definitely much respect to you for taking the time to do it. How long did you it take you to complete it? I had a great laugh and definitely made my day! Our lives need some cheering up from time to time so I

Love it! And will definitely use it. I was looking at using Haml to build my sites alongside Django but I'll give this a try!

Kudos to you guys! Wish there was a bigger list like this for Toronto/Canada.

Nope but it is some form of metric that you can use to judge the doctor's capability. With a self-taught doctor, you just have the questions that you ask to help you judge. With a doctor who's been through school, you have both your questio

The talent's here but most leave because of these non-existing VCs. Though we are getting better!

I don't understand how there's a title called "Making Economic Sense" yet for the most part monetary benefit is the main subject while social benefit is nowhere to be seen. There are claims that the 20% of employee time is being wasted? Wou
