In terms of actual quality, that's probably true. I've worked with people who absolutely won't hire anyone who didn't go to one of the "top 4", and that's the sort of mindset I was addressing. It's no

I'm not sure that's really true in CS. If you're not UCB, Stanford, CMU, or MIT, you're not a "top" CS dept whether public or private. Georgia Tech, U of Washington, UC San Diego, UIUC, UCLA, UT Austin are all

U3 data goes back to 1890. There's always someone, usually in an opposing political camp, who says "it's misleading" when it goes down, or when it goes up. Both the left and the right have done this sort of handwaving ov

The BLS puts out 6 different unemployment statistics for every period. U3 is the "official rate", but you can also look at the other ones, including U4 = U3 + "discouraged workers", U5 = U4 + "marginally attached&qu

It's often not the team who decides. I've also been told (but it's just hearsay) that you can't get the highest LEED certification for your groovy new office complex if you have individual offices, so the PR value of tha

The problem is the copyright: "Design (c) 2011, 2012 Raspberry Pi Foundation All Rights Reserved" As far as I know the schematics are not open-source, i.e. there's no right to use them other than as documentation for the (pro

Performing a piece of music in a high-pressure situation is exactly a professional musician's job, so an audition is quite appropriate. Another analogy could be to ask a professional composer to play one of his pieces on piano rather t

These days you would be asked to draw a picture of a hammer pounding in a nail on a whiteboard. The interviewer would say, "this isn't about drawing," but if your hammer looks like a dinosaur you're not going to get the

Yes, exactly, everyone has anecdotes. I knew someone who did "all the right things," as recommended by the most mainstream medical advice, ate low fat, exercised, kept track of his bloodwork, etc., and dropped dead on a hike right

When I first met Seth he was an assistant professor of psychology at UC Berkeley. At the time he wrote all his code in APL, and couldn't figure out why anyone would use anything else. More recently he used R. To everyone calling him &q

That hasn't been my experience at all--I see tons of restaurants filled with plenty of people in most European cities, and they seem to have adequate numbers of efficient waitstaff.

I always thought collusion was one of those things for which executives could be personally prosecuted and jailed if they were found guilty, but I'd guess it depends on the jurisdiction.

I worked with a guy who would go on a big coke binge and was really quite productive for about 72 hours. He would then do almost nothing for the next three weeks but complain about how hard he'd worked.

Calibrating the screen and supporting embedded profiles in images are two different things. It would be nice if images with embedded profiles rendered correctly to the screen, e.g. with Safari on iPhone, using a canned profile that assumes
