My heuristic for choosing Inidan programmers (I am an Indian) 1) Choose from top colleges. Apart from the well know ones, each state in India has a something called NITs. Apart from this, each state has one "top" college. Then, ea

I think South San Jose/Campbell and Fremont (via Dumbarton) should be good bets for you.

Thanks for making this software. I have been trying to add a RSS-ticker and stream my video for a month...using ffmpeg. Even after posting on ffmpeg user gropus, I got no useful responses. It took me 5 min to do the same using VLC.

How does that explain the good quality phones which come out of (atleast) Samsung.

If you think the business would grow overtime, doesn't it make sense to sell it to someone rather than shut it down?

I think what GP means is that the crowd on this website are savvy and will just ignore the ads.

Thats like 1.5M page views per month. Assuming eCPM of 0.5, it would fetch 7500$/pm. This is a rough calculation.

Marissa mayer wants people who wouldn't otherwise visit yahoo webpages to come and see what they are upto. I think this one and the announcement that they would delete old unused yahoo email accounts, all fall into this category.

Thanks very much. I understand its a rough method. I will try to refine it. Any sources that I can read from? There are many sources online, but they are not curated.

What skills do we need to learn to get into such a position? That is apart from statistics and programming? How much effort will go into learning that stuff?

You are right about smart people outside the 2%. IITs own study says that entrance exam marks vary by 1 or 2 for ranks between 2000 and 10000 The govt has recently opened 10+ new IITs. I think they should add many more..though.

The Indian govt is surely stupid in subsidizing higher education in place of primary education. However, there is a flip side. Even though the people are allowed to migrate, it is the same people who have brought the IT industry to Indian s

Interesting arguments...But apart from IDEs like visual studios, How much do individuals and companies pay for developer tools? Like say a better debugger or a code coverage tool? How about VIM plugins or better editors? I too have some ide

Many people say its too late to enter HFT..Is it true for developed world or is it true for ALL countries? (India/China/etc). For example, I am not sure if Indian stock markets have so much of HFT.

While I see your point, I think mentality required for this field is...be a go getter and do whatever it takes to beat even the best guys...I believe general software engineering and other fields are a little more forgiving than that.

For a layman, Can you please explain why FPGA skills are good to have? Some years, I could understand that processors were not fast enough so FPGA parallelism was useful...I think modern processors have caught up.

I apears that Algorithm trading Firms are slowly moving to SF/Silicon Valley. I see some postings for SF-jobs in this domain. May be they want to use the software talent in this area.
