The hiring manager probably meant for it to be an internal only posting but failed at posting. The training you get very early on as a manager-of-managers covers how to write good job postings, and avoiding ridiculous acronyms is part of it

Gladwell's books are not scholarly research. They're more like hipster coffee shop conversations, and should be taken with a healthy dose of rigorous skepticism, even though they are usually quite enjoyable.

Only responding to the first part of your treatise, but have you actually used a Nook at the B&N kiosk? I used to think the Kindle was slow and chincy until I used a Nook, which feels like its ink display is powered by three blind, dr

Some points in this article could use elaboration: - If you have already contacted a company (even just blind-sent your resume to their HR department and gotten no response), the recruiter generally will not be able to get a commission on y

Having had an application approved and then later rejected for use of private APIs (WiFinder), this really pisses me off. Inconsistency sucks, as I told the AppStore reviewer I talked to on the phone. I'm fine with either nobody or everybod

Based on Apple's behavior during the review process ( very strong control over the use of their trademark iPhone/iPod image), I'd be shocked if they don't hit this with a c&d. I am involved with two apps that were both hit with rejecti

This fake conversation loads of fail. "If someone is profitable (creating more value for the company than they’re costing you), then there’s only reason to ever let them go: Their “payback” period is longer than your cash resources will al

My biggest problem is that it's a half-assed review process. Neither is it an open platform nor is it a relatively clear and thorough review process like you get on the gaming device platforms (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony). I made three a

As an academic, the ability to read PDFs is absolutely critical. I like reading books, but the vast majority of my reading is conference proceedings and journal articles. While I understand that they're hard to transfer (in particular, the

The crunchyroll model is nice - free with horribly annoying ads and a week delay on new releases, or pay a monthly fee for increased res, no ads, and same-day viewing of things aired on TV.

There's of course the old joke that once you get into grad school, you'll be too busy the first two years to read many papers :-)

I've always thought that even after four years, that really is just barely enough time to get decent awareness around developing software. Assuming you were a CS major the whole time. The only thing worse than being bad at what you do is be

There are multiple audiences: 1) peer scholars familiar in your area of research trying to determine if you really did and understood what you said you did and understood 2) someone who is not a scholar and wants to learn about your topic W

It sounds like a no-brainer: already has paying customers, has enough cash to be offering a Real Salary, and the founders have prior successes. But the family one is a huge issue. You're probably looking at longer hours, with more uncertain

I assume the author realizes how little $20k is when you have a real income stream? For somebody in Schmidt's position, it's like taking a free coffee for being on the board of Starbucks.
