That's amazing, I am really happy about the founders getting teenagers as interns. Those are life long memories for them.

Totally agree with you. I love the definition of burn out I've seen on HN a few months ago. Burn out is when you participate in high risk - high reward situation for a while and you end up on the losing side multiple times. While many

While it's an interesting idea (and I know the pain!) the problem is that you are out for a smoke for max 10 minutes. So there should be quite a lot of active users from the start, otherwise you check once, twice, no one is out there,

A bit off-topic, I posted the same link 4 hours before the OP and it got only 1 upvote. Oh the unpredictability of HN!

I think that we can simply say "no one has been fired for traditional interview". Yes, it is broken, ineffective, interviewees mostly hate it, some egos get hurt while solving fizzbuzz on the whiteboard, etc. But for an interviewe

I agree regarding the grammar. After living in England for a couple of years, mainly surrounded by native English speakers, things just either sound 'right' or 'broken'. Although opportunity of living here is somewhat lu

There is nothing wrong with a top comment being a contradiction. I believe that in this way, it might bring even more useful comments and thoughts since it takes a different angle. The real problem is that those contradicting comments usual

I am not a native English speaker. Although I study in England (University of Manchester), I believe half of my course mates are not native speakers either. At least the ones who turn up to lectures. People try to explain their algorithms,

If I was this guy, I would rather say screw it than trying to get attention by posting to Mark's wall. Given the recent cases in the USA (e.g. he used wget!!!), Facebook could give a massive slap and sue him. And probably win.
