There were at least two programs when I was there. I heard a lot more about them under Ballmer than under Satya. HiPo -- for junior to mid level -- special training, networking, an…

[Disclaimer - I work for Microsoft] Azure just released nested virtualization VMs. I've tested Hyper-V running in such a VM and it worked well. Have not yet tested HAXM.

This is valuable advice. The supervisor is absolutely the most important consideration. It is worth pointing out two things that are different in many U.S. universities. 1) PhDs in…

What optimization tasks do Exec and Uber solve to provide the quality of service their customers expect?

Congratulations! Now to go put this together with exec or taskrabbit. :)

Congratulations!

Start a mailing list, start recruiting people to post...who knows, maybe you'll set up the new place?

I read that as "the employer pays you 2K or 3K RMB less than what it otherwise would" , not "the employer pays only 2K or 3K RMB per month."

While none of these are exactly the same as Exec, they do let you hire people remotely to do things. http://www.taskrabbit.com (see also API at http://taskrabbit.github.com ) http:…

Could you hire people on www.taskrabbit.com to go pick things up for you? You'd have to probably pay them on retainer to get the responsiveness you need, but it's a way to recruit …

I've seen people post "Stand in line for me at the DMV" on TaskRabbit. I haven't tracked how many tasks, but it would be interesting to see growth over time. I wonder how that comp…

Another bit that leapt out for me is his discussion of displays. He's talking about flatscreen color displays, about 15-20 years before they really become commonplace. My favorite …

It's wonderful that you have "give us feedback" as one of the initial tasks in the first team created. It's less wonderful that there is no obvious way to give you that feedback. F…

This is why I tend to leave the laptop & cell behind when attending DEF CON. Besides, it's about meeting the people there, isn't it?

Thank you for posting this. Puts into words what I and I expect others are feeling. Sad to think he is gone.

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving. Thanks for posting about your reasons for leaving. In any case best of luck with your move. You may want to drop by Noisebridge in SF sometim…
