I agree with much of what ianamartin said. Google is unlike most big companies in that it thinks 10 to 20 years out (but pays scant attention to short-term strategies). Their problem as I see it is not to have great products in 10 years but

I was asked some riddle that was so ridiculous I can't even remember it now. It was like I was suddenly in a game show and had 5 minutes to complete a riddle. This was at the end of 4.5 hours of interviewing. The questions had been rea

First read up on it. Ebola requires physical contact with body fluids from an individual who is currently symptomatic. For this reason alone, it is unlikely to spread the way (for example) influenza does. I have an advanced degree in microb

The main change, as I see it, would be a sudden dramatic reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere. Humans burn fossil fuels. That would stop. What the downstream effects would be and how quickly they would happen, I

If you want to get radical about it, you can reconfigure your keyboard to a known-efficient configuration such as the Dvorak layout. As you probably know, the QWERTY layout was specifically designed to be un-ergonomic and inefficient (so as

One can sue anyone at any time for anything. I presume what you're really asking is, can you sue and win? We need a lawyer to chime in here. There's a doctrine of "fair use" to consider, but beyond that there's simp

So much attention was paid to the physical formatting of the report -- yet so little information conveyed. And conveyed poorly. Not a single infographic or graph, even. Just tables.

This is a well known issue with all languages that use IEEE 754 double-precision floating point numbers (which is basically all modern languages, including JavaScript). It's also why financial sites do not use types double or float.
