As someone inside Google, this simply doesn't square with reality: just yesterday I spoke to a friend about joining a project he's working on on a twenty percent basis.

What's so mathematical about it? It has lots of pretty graphs and charts, but as far I could tell, it's just philosophy masquerading as mathematics.

On the go: a Samsung Chromebook 550, so the old version of the $250 model. I use this to SSH into my development server, which consists of a series two Raspberry Pi. I keep my old 15 inch MacBook pro around for TF2 and to run more involved

That seems like a high salary. What's your title?

That is a beautiful website. Is it custom, or is it something I can install myself? Feel free to refuse to answer :P

Thanks for saying this. I'm an early twenty's kid who's decided to forgo the fashionable startup scene in favor of an extremely well-paid (given my age) position in a top-ten tech giant. I have a hunch that it would be more sensible to shar

If there's nothing you can do about it, and no discernible consequences (we'd all cease to exist if it were to happen) why get upset?

This article does raise interesting points, and Nate Silver does stretch the power of Bayesian statistics a little bit. However, the crux of his argument for Bayesian statistics is that it provides a process by which we can approach truth a

I would suggest an older-generation macbook. Between the excellent hardware build quality and the well-maintained software, they don't become obsolete quickly. I've got enough cash on hand to buy a new laptop several times over, but my old

I had two internships over two summers, and each one was worth $18k for the duration.

Not sure if this is strictly programming-related, but: Eschewing traditional career-track employment in favor of joining a startup can be damaging, and frequently does not break even with respect to the amount of money and influence you wou

I find it incredibly amusing that a statement by an experienced businessman who has decided to share some of his hard-earned earned insight into a product is being treated this way. I'm inclined take the opinion of someone who's got his min

Agreed. There is much glamour and flash on display on this site that people seem to forget that failure is what teaches you things, not success.

New York is going to be the second choice here, I think. The culture is certainly a little different in terms of VCs and the sorts of companies that take up residence there, but it's a great place to be. After that, having spent a good leng

Is it just me, or wouldn't it be fairly trivial for a troublesome country to just point a satellite at Iran and give citizens access that way?

I am insulted by the smugness of this post. Firstly, the pretension that tech journalists have any reason whatsoever to be reading this blog. Secondly, the lack of any evidence, enforcement, or argument as to why "journalists don't know wha

It's telling that the author hasn't received an offer for a free copy of PRC's product. Think about it: the author writes touching human interest story that pulls at readers' heartstrings by genuinely presenting the dilemma he is faced with

My favorite thing is when the answer to the security question is allowed to be remembered by the browser, meaning anyone who gets my password can saunter up to any computer I've used in the past and bypass the stupid security question.

The foundation of a new legal entity for open source is not any sort of magnanimous move on the part of Microsoft. It is a standard maneuver in companies wishing to take advantage of open source projects: create a separate company just to a
