I still remember how social media revolutionized the tech scene in San Diego, where everyone is spread out and can't mingle that often. Instead of monthly meetups where people kept asking "what have you been doing in the last 4 weeks?" it w

The answer to your question is in a previous HN link: http://raganwald.posterous.com/i-dont-hire-unlucky-people Say you have 50 people, all of whom are capable of doing the job. You have to whittle that number down somehow. Might as well

"Truth will out." I didn't know anything about Fez or its history going into that film, but I think it did a good job implying how many people could have issues working with that guy. I didn't imagine his partner to be a villain. I imagined

This is pure speculation, but I wonder if google has photoelectric sensors that use light levels to send alerts to their administrators. I bet it's a clever way of handling physical security. If anybody is accessing the server, they'll want

You make interesting points here. What are we supposed to generalize from this dev's experience? That Android is doomed? It does say something about what some mobile devs have come to expect from a development experience. While IOS is never

Nothing of what CNN says here sounds like spin control. It sounds like Arrington got caught saying something he didn't expect to be controversial and feels suckered somehow. I suspect CNN would be backing him up if he didn't start throwing
