Choosing the best state based on tax considerations oftentimes reduces tax bill by at least 5% of your net profits. Now, lets say you are making 2M per year. 5% = 100K, which is more than enough to hire another programmer!

Personal care products. There are too many products out there, and it's really hard to pay attention to all of the brand names and what is good/bad. Now, if this could be coupled with some sort of user history, and some predictiveness rega

The issue is that in certain circles (e.g. in finance) all Internet communications must be recorded in some way, shape, or form. Google+ has yet to expose an API to do so, hence in a lot of places this cannot fly. Same deal with facebook

I think its unfair to criticize NYC just because of a few poor interview experiences. But back on point: can you give a specific question that you felt crossed the line? I'm curious because I've never felt that I've been asked such a probi
