I know it's hard, but stay positive here. You just had someone effectively offer to put in a good word for you with several companies in your country. Instead of 'I ran out of money and will have to move back soon',…
It's because the organisms get trapped between your clothes and skin, and they only cause a problem in large numbers. Bare skin doesn't trap enough to do anything, usually. Also, when you rinse off, rinse off with…
Your rant is quite misguided. In this case, the CEO explicitly asked for people to email him: "I discovered that Legere put an emphasis on customer service -- listening to calls and even sharing his email address." From…
Probably because it's split between everyone renting in the building, and while the tax is higher, it's not so much higher that you end up effectively paying the same amount. At least, that's my guess.
You should check out http://bobarno.com/thiefhunters/ It's a blog by Bob Arno, a once stage pickpocket, who now wanders around the world looking for thieves of various sorts (and then interviews them)
Would something like the above code be on your interview? (pow = 1 : [ 2*x | x <- pow]) I'd probably fail it even though I do understand recursion. I don't know Haskell, and the above is rather cryptic to me. I can…
This site is broken on an iPad...scrolling doesn't work at all
There is, actually, a loss to the provider. Every person's version of pirated movie X will be unique, which means the provider has to pay for more storage space than they would without encryption. (since without…
I don't see anything that mentions where he is...it's entirely possible that he's in the middle of nowhere tech-job-wise. If that's the case, the first move should be "go somewhere with a tech job market".
One more issue...if you login with a non-ec2 amazon account there's no logout link. I end up having to clear my cookies.
If the employer wants loyalty, then they can pay for it. Maybe not literally, but when I really like my job it takes a hell of a lot more than an extra $10k/year to get me to switch. Or they can heavily encourage it,…
Thirding. The "what is freedombox" posted here tells me basically nothing. It sounds closer to marketing fluff than an actual description of what freedombox is and does. Is it a social network? Twitter? Both? Something…
I noticed a bunch of people doing the math on a 100k/year salary for a 3br. Presumably, if you need a 3br it's because you have kids and need to give them each their own room. Is everyone assuming the other partner…
Reminds me of my current job. They asked for a potential hire's salary history to determine how much to offer them. They previously made, say, 40k, so an offer was made for 45k. Why? Not because their skills were worth…
I believe OoTheNigerian's point is that he likes it when the sharing functionality is rolled up into another thing that you do. Say, every time you rate a song 5 stars, or mark one as your favorite. He'd rather not get…
There's also Joe's impression of how much his employer values him: If Joe is perfectly happy working at 10k/year, but you're paying new people just out of college 20k/year it can cause Joe to start looking for ways to…
Some recruiters I've talked to do actually have a magic wand that tells them when a new job posting has arrived. It's called a personal relationship with the hiring manager at the company. IE: The hiring manager informs…
One minor issue: On windows XP/FF 3.6 the font is a little hard to read: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/201111041105.png/ I'm not sure exactly what firefox is trying to do (since both IE 8 and chrome are…
This isn't as simple as "push for equity". There are plenty of companies where equity makes no sense (say, a private consulting company, or a company with no plans to sell a la 37signals) What other options are there?…
Groupon's business is basically all sales and marketing. The v1 tech behind the deal-a-day offerings is trivial. (leaving aside recommendations and such) You need to be very good at signing up businesses and getting…
Same problem, windows XP/firefox 3.6. (dropping a .png file)
Plus there's the issue of time: If you have 100+million to throw at something and get it right now(in 6 months after due diligence), or spend the 100 mil on an in house project, wait 3 years, and get it then...which…
The problem wasn't ruby 1.9, but ruby 1.9.1 specifically. I upgraded ruby to 1.9.2 and the stability issues went away. On 1.9.1 the server would randomly hang and require a kill -9+manual restart.
Just as a warning: If you/anyone decides to self host a chef server, you have to get the chef-server cookbook (or your couchdb will never get compacted) and you can't be running ruby 1.9.1 (or the server will have ~1…
Ideas don't have a dollar value. I'm guessing that not one company who signs a licensing agreement with the patent troll does so because they want access to a library of ideas. They do it because they're working to…
