That's only OneDrive for Business [1], a product that (fortunately) shares nothing but branding with the consumer product. Not so say the latter doesn't have its own warts...simply that it doesn't have that particularly egreg

If you're interested in a more narrative take on Caracas' slums and how Chavez's policies contributed to their rise, the New Yorker carried a fantastic essay on the topic a few months back [1] 1: http://www.newyork

To expand on that, OneDrive for Business (a product formerly known as: SkyDrive Pro, Live Mesh, Grove Workspace etc.) shares the OneDrive branding (and some? interface components) but otherwise bears little resemblance to its consumer count

Jane St and a few other finance firms are paying interns ~100k/y annualised. That's the highest I've heard barring grad students with sweetheart deals. As covi mentioned, Palantir, Quora, Dropbox all pay about roughly the sa

The lack of emacs keybinds is because they don't use standard Cocoa controls; unfortunately it's endemic to the entire Office suite on Mac.

I interned on the API team this summer and it was as close to a startup as you'll find inside a company the size of Microsoft. OneNote itself was launched over ten years ago as part of the Office suite, while the OneNote service is jus

Within the range of very high scores (I'm assuming you mean 1500+ excluding the W section) there is so little differentiation between candidates that anything outside of a perfect score is unworthy of comment. I would wager that the ma

I don't believe the OneNote Metro app supports indexing handwritten notes. If you open the same notebook in the Win32 client and allow it to index and sync back to Sky/One/WhateverIt'sCalledThisWeekDrive you should be ab

Android 4.3 brought about much improved BLE support [1]. Unfortunately, driver support from manufacturers is still fairly limited, and hasn't been appearing very quickly. [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/197

He may be talking about the RT models, which lack the digitizer of the Pro but still have the ability to run RT versions of apps like Sketchbook Pro

If they're attending Stanford, they've not spent 50-100k on their education. The school's endowment is sufficiently large that significant financial aid is granted even to individuals from (relatively) wealthy families. I hav

If that's inclusive of signing bonuses, stock grants, etc. $120k is materially less than the major companies are offering these days. Their Vancouver offices (certainly for FB, unsure of others) are visa holding tanks to hold graduates

I'll prefix my question by saying I'm unfamiliar with QC beyond knowing of its existence and roughly what it does in terms of generating test values: Am I misunderstanding, or is this akin to QuickCheck for C#?

Anyone who's gone through a holistic CS curriculum should be able to fairly easily pass the Google/Facebook/MS/Palantir-esque interview process (for new grad positions) with flying colours. The typical algorithmic questions they give are th
