Clarifying what I said, I meant "building a good search engine" is hard, while using an index to make something faster to find is easy(ier). I agree (with the previous poster) that indexing parts of the web and making it searchable is prett

In his (her?) defense, he didn't say "search", he said "index". There's a difference! Building the index is easy(ier nowadys). Making it work for the users is the hard part :)

Easy and 1st: 301 redirects for as long as you can. Negotiate! Medium later: A link somewhere on the page saying, for some period of time: "Dear visitor, were you looking for oldfoo? Click here." Harder and even later: Check the referer to

The root reason is really simple. The company will have to spend 5k more to keep you, while it doesn't have to if salaries are secret. That covers the case when talking about salary is prohibited by a company policy. Why people don't tell t

I hate software patents, but the article mentions its author presented to MS, and the company knowingly infringed it. Knowingly , I guess, it's the key here. MS knew they were doing "something illegal", but decided to go anyway. Of course,

Three minutes to find a page that I've visited, searching my browser history? Three-damn-whole-minutes?... gee.. if I can't find with two or three tries on the search bar (in 10 seconds, tops) I google it. I know I am not normal on my daily

Money, but until a certain treshold. After X per month other factors kick in, specially whom am I working with and what. Boring work can be made awesome with the right people, the opposite ain't true. People will crush you even if you're do

About left and right, I have a friend, a black-belt karate student, and he can't figure out either. He says he developed a method, and asked his teacher to do it instead of saying "punch with the right", "punch with the left". The "method"

You put lists, and you take lists :p Imagine a key-value store/database. Each key is a word, the value is a list of keys from webpages, these keys are the webpage contents. Get every value for the word "hacker", get every value for the word

Yeah, pretty much like a Starbucks opening right next to your coffe shop. Suddenly every neighbor wants a cup of coffe, and you'll see increased attendance. Cloudera offers are more like consulting. People need help setting up Hadoop jobs,

I am not a T-Mobile costumer, but maybe they have another plan/hardware/usb dongle which allows internet access from laptops? So they want these people to pay differently. PS: not making any judgements :)

Some users think some game features are great, but others think it sucks. I think a lot of content will be shifted to the "other side" constantly. You'll also have to deal with "fact". An article on Wikipedia about Gears of War shouldn't co

There are a lot of big business that don't have a strong web presence in traffic. While the first example that it comes to mind is Wal-Mart, the anecdote I am going to share is from there, so they probably don't "need" Hadoop, but maybe it'
