Good for Blendle! Not the first Dutch start-up to be funded by US investors, but one of the most well known (in the Netherlands anyway). As far as I am aware, there is no US-based Blendle yet? (An article aggregator where you pay per articl

In addition, in the step before where the heat is transferred away from the reactor walls to the turbines, a heat flux is needed of 100MJ/s. Assuming a contact surface of 100m2, that is 1MJ/s per m2. That sounds like a huge flux a

It looks like the interview parts were mixed up in the editing. To watch the interview in chronological order start at 13:44, watch till the end and then start from the beginning.

Nice, although I'd like some more explanation about what I see. When I click the hint for the oldest object in the universe I get: [object Object], with the URL: javascript:Zoomers.map.setView([79.39604189337487, -122.98095703125], 5)

I haven't used BB10 yet, but I am willing to believe you. However, I think the issue is that success on the mobile OS market is determined in a large part by the ecosystem around it. The ecosystem is heavily influenced by network effec

This is of course part of the risk associated with Kickstarter, projects may fail or be delayed. As you seem to be an avid backer, do you feel satisfied with the general delivery of projects you backed?

My initial reaction is that this is a turning point in electric car technology. If there was one company suited to take the role in battery swapping like Tesla did for electric cars in general, it was Better Place. With them gone, and batte

There is fine line between creating a positive experience for the end user, and suggesting a positive experience. Some examples: Cars: No, cheaper car makers will not degrade the experience, but they will direct less attention to the percei

Yes, we should, but my trail of thought tried to address the deeper (or tangential) rationale for humanized error messages. My argument was that if you humanize error messages, you are increasing the service towards your end user. You conve

I think there is a strong causation between the way products address their users (not only software, but also cars, appliances, physical forms), and the perceived value of that product. Step into a luxury car and ask yourself, why do I see

At first thought I agreed with you. But then I realised, that is how many of those names started: they were the dominant brand for a while and thus became the household name. I hear many people refer to portable audio players as an iPod. I

Some ideas: - Do the bookmarks have any extra info? For example the links to the HULU pages. Do they contain parameters (such as ?campaign=fb) which could point to the origin of the bookmarks? - Try to reproduce. Remove/save some bookmarks,

Outstanding comment. Especially since you wrote it in 30 minutes. Very interesting that the best tests still have a low validity.

Paraphrased: Ask the applicant to explain any topic for 5 minutes to the one interviewing. Then the interviewer will draw a blank face. Talented applicants will ask the interviewer if he understands, less talented applicants will just con

Very good question. This could not only apply to programmers, but anyone involved in communicating complex issues (medical personnel, engineers, etc). On a side note, I do not read that many articles about the effectiveness of hiring. It ce

Hi methochris, I wish you much success. Let's meet again at the end of 2012 and tell us how you've done. Can you give us a hint of what you'll be doing?

First, nice idea. Good to cater to niche market. You could build landing pages for these niche markets. "Secure your Drupal install in 5 minutes." * The website is a little light on content. Maybe add some example implementations, use cases

I did not get in, so take my advice with caution. I'd say, be as short and to the point as possible, without leaving out crucial details. Make your first point/first sentence summarize your whole application. Look up the application of Drew
