The valuation metrics look at revenue growth, not sales and not profit. Wall Street loves the mystical growth metric and have cash by the fistful ready to stuff into firms that can show some sort of growth. Especially with hard-to-value t

Now consider the other side of the equation. Let's say you are a founder at a small startup. You are looking for the best talent. Rarely do you have thousands of people knocking at your door asking for a position. You have to go out and l

you should look at how std::__introselect is defined (hint: its in /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/stl_algo.h )

scorchin posted the implementation of nth_element, except he forgot to look at how the gnu implementation of __introselect behaves. If you look there, you will see it internally uses a heap.

It's STL-implementation specific. look in your c++ kit. in mine (osx 10.6.7, g++ 4.2.1), it's in /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/stl_algo.h and it uses an algorithm very similar to the original article

high level: you keep track of the K largest elements (call this array A). Every time you read an element (call it x), you compare it to the smallest element in A. if x is bigger than the smallest element of A, then remove the smallest ele

Haha have to cite a study here [Kruger and Dunning 1999, Unskilled and unaware of it ...] (recollection from CFA Level 3 material) So the authors of the study asked people to rate how they have performed on a logical reasoning test. What t

Why not to join a startup after graduating: 1) Leverage (lack thereof): When you work for a larger player, you have established yourself as a person that the firm found acceptable. Having a big name company on your resume means that you

Philosophically I would imagine you would implicitly upvote your own submission, hence it makes sense to start at 1. Alternatively, it could be seen as two transactions: -1 posting an article costs 1 karma +1 upvoting your own article costs
