Lately it seems I been making myself inundated with too much information. Whenever I need to procrastinate, I will find myself web surfing or needing to read something. I find myse…

Agreed on all points.

actually PG said it at the event, but to prob only a few people. It wasn't communicated well. Even though a simple e-mail, before hand could of explained everything. Though I think…

From ArsTechnica, "Amazon has also added a few unique twists of its own that will further improve the user experience. An Amazon engineer at the New York launch event told us that …

"Computing Power in the Cloud EC2 servers have massive computational power. On EC2, available CPU, storage, and available memory can be orders of magnitudes larger than on mobile d…

We don't have much information on Amazon Silk. It be interesting to know how it works in depth and how web apps will be affected.

PG was correct on everything he said about NYC. When I first heard him speak at the event, I thought he was going to talk fluff about how great NYC was, but he was honest. Every po…

It was inspiring. I really didn't hear anything new. But it was great to finally see PG and some of the other partners. I would recommend going to one of these if it your first tim…

It pretty much is a digital scrapbook. I think allot of FB users will like it. I personally don't see a need for it though. However I can see the people who currently use scrapbook…

Why did you guys go with clojure, instead of something maybe like scala?

You should highlight, recent college graduates. If someone does get hired to your firm, I hope the "real world" problems are just as interesting. I actually like those type of algo…

What type of candidate are you looking for? Obviously recent graduates will not have that much coding experience and reading comprehension. Are you looking for someone to write new…

Nice breakthrough, this improvement is when the cell phones are using wifi. Now if the can do that with the cellular data. :) http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/16/new-subconscious-mo…

Ok, I didn't mean to offend you, I am sorry if I have. That being said these are my thoughts on the subject of interviewing programmers. When I just graduated college, I was all ab…

Nice Link! We need more of these technical links on HN.

@eropple So do you have data to back up your claims that; answering those questions determine if your a good programmer. Yes, there are tons of programming jobs out there, that don…

1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y If x = 1, then the equation likes this: 1/2 +1/2(1/2 + 1/2(1/2 +1/2(1/2 + ... = y 1/2 +1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + ... = y y = 1 = x y =…

My point was, his questions, doesn't really indicate if the candidate is a good programmer or not. It could be the person studied up on all sorts of puzzles and famous algorithms o…

Obviously, your rate would be low. The implied domain of the question would throw people off. The question isn't a good indicator if someone can program. Why don't you ask your man…

@aplusbi Let's say I interviewed you. I had asked to implement the fastest algorithm to give back the largest palindrome of words in English dictionary and compare it the largest p…
