Something always bothers me when I see two é's on résumé. Yes, it's probably the correct way of saying it, but neither the English nor the French (not even the French!) use the word "résumé." There's a certain level of douchebaggery when I

Just curious: shouldn't Netflix be worried? This entitles Apple, Inc. to not only Rhapsody's income, but also to 30% of the income from Netflix's streaming only plan. Presumably, this policy would also affect Netflix's hybrid distribution m

We have the CAS server return a hash in extraAttributes called "MemberOf" that returns every group the user is a member of. I do feel that the next version of CAS should formally address this as part of the main spec. But our MemberOf is pa

It's a shame that CAS for multitenant apps never really took off. We have an integrated CAS and OpenID server to handle single-sign on for all our apps, and losing OpenID will mean an additional username/password for our people to remember

It's an interesting concept because passwords could be infinitely more secure if everything adopted a two-factor authentication system with something physical that you carried around like an RSA SecurID. Unfortunately, even that system risk

The DoD doesn't exactly promote a hacker culture in the civilian roles; however, depending on branch of service (e.g most likely not marines) and role (officers and above), there is latitude for creativity. Of course, anyone who has worked

I'm extremely happy with my 13" MacBook Air and its 7 hour battery life. Chances are, I'll be tired of looking at my laptop before I'll encounter a situation where I run out of juice, and I have my iPad to tether, even though not technical

I use voting as a way to mark a story to be read later, so I'm guilty of upvoting before reading. I don't think there should be a mechanism to require a click-through, but I think a way to save a story to a "to be read" later queue would be

I would like to see Trader Joe's stylesheet/writing manual. You can find a lot of similarities in Trader Joe's quarterly newsletter to Groupon's tounge in cheek writing. I have always thought that Trader Joe's pioneered this sort of market

Mr. Schleicher says that while reviewing the test results. The LSATs, for instance, is a test that requires knowledge applied creatively, too, but it doesn't mean successful test-takers are able to produce Google or Facebook. In fact, succe

The culture in China doesn't entirely foster it. I agree China is entirely capable of producing excellent software. But that doesn't change the culture. I've breathed it when I lived in China for several months. You'll notice that college s

People wonder if these test scores in China are beyond the norm. But the bitter truth is that these scores are indicative of their Confucian training, not any independent thinking that a "standardized" test could evaluate. The Chinese educa

Thanks for the compliments! I'm still a bit wary of using NoSQL, and we store document revisions (e.g, if I modified invoice 1021, the lastest version would be updated in SQL, and the last version would be pushed into NoSQL) into SQL just i

I've started using NoSQL with an ACID-based system by storing the document revisions (e.g, modified invoices, purchase orders) into a NoSQL database with the SQL database holding the master data. We store document revisions so if we were to

Hibiki-an is good, but you really have to try Ippodo. Once you've had Ippodo tea, you really can't go back. They target mostly Japanese consumers, but lately, they have been trying to push for more overseas sales. They've been around since

If you're a tea person like me and you've read Lu Yu's Tea Classics (茶經) before, you'll appreciate good tea. The one that I usually purchase is from Japan--and it is now orderable online, including to overseas addresses. The tea purveyor is

I'm amused by the fact that I'm drawn into the picture of Jimmy Wales. It just looks so inspirational; for what reason, I'm not really sure.

It's interesting to note that a lot of natural language processing is English-centered. It's clear that English natural language processing is way ahead of the curve, but based on the quality of Chinese results on Google Translate, I take i

University ranking is a strange beast. On one hand, it may merely indicate the amount of endowment a university receives from its alumni per capita. On the other, it may truly rank a school by the merits of its research. But more often than

It would be interesting to see if Amazon will donate/discount AWS services to non-profits and research institutions (e.g cancer) to leverage this node power to make up for processing shortfalls.

I think there definitely is an opportunity to remove OpenTable from the equation. Look at restaurants like Momofuku Ko's annoying reservation system, where their in-house .NET reservation system books out within 3 seconds after 10am ET for

Larry won't take ASF seriously, given how he has toyed with HP. Larry might find it even comical or entertaining that some boys from ASF are threatening to leave JCP.

Silicon Valley and SF tech companies tend to be incredibly incestuous. I find that companies that are more focused on product building rather than seeking the approval and validation of others in the industry tend to have a useful product.

I think it further proves the point that when you are no longer the underdog, it is hard for you to compete, stay fast and nimble, and stay innovative. Buzz and other Google-initiated (not acquisitions) forays into competing products have b

Not necessarily an emacs editor. I love the GUI of TextMate, but a lot of what makes TextMate usable is its bundles, which definitely won't be allowed by Apple. All I would like is a reasonably good text editor with a project drawer and syn

The problem is I need an emacs/vim/TextMate style editor for the iPad usable in the airplane. I really wish TextMate would become available on iOS.

My girlfriend is Japanese on an H1 visa for a Big-4 accounting firm Japanese practice. We've had a couple of scares that she might not get the H1-B due to quota limits (fortunately, last year nobody was hiring so there was no lottery). They
