Exactly. The job posting gives the feeling that a memo will be sent out the first week you are there: Wii and ping pong are provided for use only during lunch, 12:00->12:30. Please adhere to the rules. Maybe I am being a bit too cynic

As a kid I probably read 20+ hours a week, half fiction half non-fiction. I even worked at a library when I was younger. That dramatically slowed during late high school and university, probably only a few hours of reading a week (other th

Uwaterloo also used NACHOS. I thought it was a great course and a way to build the foundations of an OS. I think explicit memory management was a big part of that course though, creating virtual memory etc.

Yes, I dislike the term SEO because it is misleading. I agree with you here, but I don't think I said anything related to people who perform 'SEO'. I am talking about the general notion that is perpetuated that you should modify your site

I think thats extremely easy to answer. If you are willing to turn down a 6 figure salary + 300k, you will not settle for halfish of 3 million with way higher risk. Especially if that buyout forced you to work at a large company too, which

Plus good coffee is much better for you than any of that 'instant' stuff. But I think his point was more you don't need to spend 5000 on a coffee machine, especially when stepping out for a coffee is a good time to socialize with colleague

It is an entertaining movie though. But I think there is a rule about using that phrase in real life. The same applies to the: We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldora

Great point. For some more anecdotal evidence, check out the first tech company I worked for: http://finance.google.ca/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds... Immediately after the dot com bust, they were acquiring companies and hiring li

And to answer the most common questions about Ripptoe's program: No you can't remove the deadlift/squat/bench from the program and have it be effective. You can use dumbbells instead of barbells - however for beginners this is not ideal, i

The first thing you learn about statistics is that you can do all the analysis in the world, but if your basic data is flawed then all of your conclusions are useless. You state this 3/4 number like it is a hard fact, however it is a very b
