I liked some of the problems, but really I'm much more interested in the guy's experience. There doesn't seem to be a story, a real narrative I can follow here :-(

Despite being a top science student at school, I learned more in those 7 minutes than any given 7 minutes of a science class in my life. Could more of education look like this? Why doesn't it?

I'm confused: surely the right way to compare would be to say the A/B tests pick the best option 100% of the time after 'reaching statistical significance'[1] - this is at least apples to apples. [1] Like others here, I believe testing unti

I love the idea that someone is dreaming this big; as others have said this is clearly a terrible way to go about space exploration, though. Building X 'because we can' is never as good as building X 'because then we can do Y'. Planetary Re

Bing styles itself as a retro Google, to capture people who long for the old days. Chrome OS styles itself as an old Windows desktop (compared to forthcoming Win8) to capture people who long for the old days. Business as usual.

Appearance is everything in information graphic design - and that's what a search engine results page is . It's an interface between the raw data and my brain, feeding it with information. A better design increases bandwidth and decrease

I spent two 12 month periods working exactly 17 hours a week (German paternity leave is incredibly progressive). Both times, it worked. When I tried tracking various arbitrary metrics of effectiveness (bugs fixed, commits made, files touc

"Please note; this means all plans come with $4/month worth of support." I can't help wondering how much support that is.

Thanks for sharing this, I'm curious to see how well it works out over time. It'd be nice to be able to choose the compression level. Quality feels at least as good as an open source summarizer I played around with a while back; good work!

I tried to train bayesian (and other) classifiers to reliably pick the same stories to read as I would. Despite looking at a variety of things - title, poster, domain, corpus from the article, corpus of the comments, I found their accuracy

You could use obfuscated minified source for the previews and sell the original readable CSS and HTML. Everybody needs to customize their theme.

Relax? Start another company? Jeff has just had twins . This has nothing to do with relaxation, or for that matter vesting schedules.

Never, ever underestimate the ridiculous amount of time, energy and willpower you invest to raise children. Just because billions of other people do it doesn't mean it isn't the single most demsnding, time-consuming thing that will ever be

What's all the fuss about getting new developers up to speed? This time last year we added two new hires to a team of three, working on a ~500k LOC project. Unlike this example, our project wasn't late and adding them didn't slow us down, i

"Your personal library for the web. A better way of bookmarking" - this isn't a value proposition. Give me a reason to take action (in this case, give you my email address) instead of clicking back. Requesting a username and password immedi

Combo boxes don't work at all on the iPad (or, presumably, iPhone). Long ones such as in the welcome demo page select items instead of scrolling on drag. Short ones on the combo box page close as soon as they open. The landing page made a b

I'm on wifi, there's rarely noticeable latency, even on full screen updates. Ctrl-a and friends still don't work properly. However, iSSH has an option that lets you use the option key instead, and for me that did work just fine, but escape

The restrictions of iOS make me happy: I have a simple consumer brick. I can wipe it and restore it on a different device without losing a single byte. It never stutters, never misses a frame. I never need to care which programs are running
