Depends on what you do. If you do video, HDDs are actually behind the tech. Every time they double the resolution (DVD -> 1080p -> 4k -> 8k), you need 4 times more space. That's not even considering lossless formats, which need

This is a bullshit question. If I heard it, I would immediately know that that place will not pay well. I'd ask the interviewer to answer his own question. He would say something like "smart team, interesting project, ability to work on sid

It's because that statement is not legally correct. Yes, they can take the domain away, but they can't extradite you and prosecute you, unless you're in one of the countries with mutual extradition treaties. It's not the US that fucked up,

Because lots of people are idiots, especially so when it comes to buying a car. People want to show off. I'm glad we have them, so I can buy a barely used car at a 30-50% discount.

Twitter is the slowest site of all the major sites that I visit (apart from HN). I often open individual twit links, and pretty much every time all I see is the blue cloud background. It easily takes 3 to 5 seconds to load the actual conten

I disagree. It's so low contrast, it's hard to see anything. Plus it plain lacks detail. Compare the same view of Manhattan: http://i.imgur.com/2uR67.png http://i.imgur.com/m4tXF.png Google's result is actually useful in many ways. It s

I think modern kids are online already, and are exposed to all kinds of information. No library in the world can even come close to Wikipedia + Google image search.

Most US libraries have huge collections of videos (VHS, DVDs), most of them are entertainment, like regular crappy action movies, and there's no real good reason for them to be in the library. Many US libraries have audio (CDs, cassetes). M

Emulating old paradigms with the new technology is one of the biggest fails of UI designers in general. Why not got a step further, force your app users to walk to a virtual book store in a 3D world before they can start reading.

60K is what, around $3500/month after taxes. If you live in NYC or SF, that's not a lot. Barely enough to get a small apartment, food, and go out once in a while, and save a little.
