From the job posting: "Salary is $100k+ (you'll pick the actual number)" Is this a 'can you think like a founder' test?

I've had some success with http://www.helpareporter.com/ Reporters post there looking for sources for their stories. If you match what they are looking for, you email the reporters. I've gotten myself and my co-founder quoted in a bunch o

Speed it up please. The arcade version is much faster. This is plays really slow. I think the pac man should move at least 25% faster.

There are ways to avoid wasting your time without being a dick. That is clearly not what this guy did. If you consider making up a white lie about a sick relative or pulling one person aside and very politely saying this isn't for you 'ass-

I'm a bit confused by you invoking the word money. What money is Quora missing out on by you deleting your account?

That's a bit unfair to him. If you read the article his job was to represent creatives at the senior management level. That doesn't mean he was the creative dictator and at a company so focused on data-driven development, he probably didn't

I read that it was 500 but I passed 500 and went for awhile before I got them. I don't remember the exact number but it was a random number and in the 550 range (like 542 or 568 etc)

This is very common in the App Store. Apps that decide to go free after charging typically take a full one-star downgrade to their rating. Lots of people download them because they are free and don't care that much about them and are uber-q

Wanting to have a beer with him is certainly not a colloquialism for approval rating. It is about him seeming like a cool guy on a personal level and like one you'd like to have a one-on-one conversation and hang out with. That characterist

George W. Bush wasn't a one dimensional idiot either. He had a lot of charisma and people skills and is probably one of the highest Presidents of all time on the 'would like to have a beer with him' barometer, even now. I always thought of

In which quarter of the class is he? 3rd What number out of 110 students is he? 85th What honors has he won in literary or scholastic pursuits? None So JFK was basically just George W. Bush. Interesting.

That's like saying a book is not copyrightable because anybody who understands that language can easily copy it. Of course things built on the web in HTML5 can be copyrighted, regardless of how easy one can copy them. Protecting them is ano

I have a question: I've tried to learn Ruby and don't think it is for me. Too hard to deal with setting up my environment and the language just does not come easily to me. Can you recommend a program like yours that is of very high quality
