I saw there was an application for "Computer Science intern", is this newly created to solve this problem, or should I still be applying for the other positions I'm interested in? By the way, the product looks amazing, but it's the team's e

I actually looked before I posted, but couldn't find anything about it :-) But I'd believe it.

Whoops! Sorry, I didn't notice the sarcasm.

The team is comprised of ex-Digg staff, not Kevin Rose himself.

Perhaps. I'll agree that the huge conference books are pretty useless (though I can see why university libraries want them), and not something I'd ever purchase. Those papers I _do_ print out. But I did specify monthly magazine in my origin

Then it was the IEEExtreme competition that required IEEE membership. And my institution is ACM affiliated as well, and also paid for my entrance fee to the ACM. But now that I think about it, I believe you're right, I don't think the ICPC

And now you know someone who does read his monthly copy of CACM from cover to cover. And I pay extra for it (again, student pricing doesn't include physical copies -- something I think they should extend to professional members). So are you

Induction doesn't actually hold like that when you start applying things that require finite resources, such as time. Is it easy for me to find a dollar? Sure, I could get it any number of ways. It's slightly more difficult for me to $10,00

I'm currently a student member, and the only reason I'm still subscribed is the print magazine copies. I could probably get them from the library, but having it show up on my doorstep every month is convenient. Plus, I believe I need to be

I'm going to disagree - I love having the dead tree edition. I'm also a member (granted, at a student rate), but love having a physical copy of something to read when I don't feel like pulling out my laptop just to read some articles. Plus

They don't seem to provide any pricing information beyond the free, non-commercial level. This seems unfortunate, and signals to me that if I'm not making a "major" product, I probably wouldn't be able to afford it.

What decisions made by Eric Schmidt would you consider "bad"?
463.
by mdwrigh2 16y ago
He was joking that he read another, more personal activity that begins with m, rather than what you actually wrote - meditate.

I'm sorry, my wording was pretty poor there. What I was really attempting to ask was whether most people consider MBA grads to be "rich", not accuse _you_ of conflating the two terms.

While I won't say that I _am_ a high-caliber developer (that would be hubris), I will say that a company having high-caliber developers is what draws me to them, rather than pay rate or other perks (assuming the pay rate is reasonable). If

Do most people really consider those with MBAs to be the "working rich"? Or are you conflating those with MBAs and successful businessmen?

I doubt it's because you're in Canada. Doesn't work for me either, and I'm in the USA, but also running Linux, which Flash doesn't get along with. Granted, I am Canadian, so maybe it's just prejudiced against Canadians in general, not where

The qualification round actually had at least one incorrect test case[1] as well, and I got 0 feedback on that one. I asked on the qualification page for clarification, and as far as I could tell, no questions were being answered, and mine

While I agree that a lot of the confusion could've been avoided by reading more carefully, part of the problem was the dissemination of information. Facebook did a really poor job of this unfortunately, as all of the information was in mult

Also potentially relevant, from the article's comments. Eric D. : "Steve Jobs looked thinner during that presentation than we'd seen him before. And over the next few months, he lost more weight. The market, rightly or wrongly, believes App

I'm a HTC Hero user (US, CDMA version) on Sprint, and I'm currently running a Cyanogen build on it. I've actually run a number of different ROMs on my phone, Cyanogen just tends to be the most stable, and cruft-free. There are step by step

And if you're really concerned with this, haven't we generally solved this problem? Pass the information back and forth completely encrypted and only store the key locally. I mean, obviously the problem is far more difficult than that, but

I've seen a few of these domain name generators / suggestion tools, and always wonder how they verify that the domain names are available? I've yet to find an API that lets me query them, and merely checking if there's a server registered f

As a quick side note, under the $8/month plan, it's "up to", not "upto".

At least under ZSH (on Ubuntu), I don't appear to have the HISTCONTROL environment variable set and yet it still ignores anything prepended with a space.

Do you have any suggestions on where to start reading on Algorithmic Trading? Perhaps also a way that I could test algorithms against the market, without actually risking any money?

Just put a space before you execute the command, then it doesn't get saved in history. Alternatively, delete it from your history file as the other commenter suggests.

Dropbox looks like a pretty amazing company to work for. Any chance you'll be hiring interns this summer?

That was my thought process, but the parent of my post claimed he could do it in O(1) (actually, he claimed it in o(1), but I'm assuming he just typo'd). Hence my question.

by mdwrigh2 16y ago
How could you do this in O(1)? Or are you saying you can get a probably right answer in O(1)?
