Not really. The author is advocating to not be too attached from an ego perspective to an idea and trying different things to see what actually works. That's different from saying you can't do what you love and expect to make mone

Well this is a graduate level course so I wouldn't say it doesn't require any degree or work experience. In general the numbering scheme at CMU is xx-yyy where xx is the department code (15 for CS department) and yyy is the course

I quite liked the article but I agree with you that these are not really "first principles". Seem like the story was shoe-horned to fit the analogy. The author could have taken the same story and used it to illustrate the power of

Actually, unless you are working on your own, you will find as you get more experienced, you will be spending more time on tasks other than coding, such as design, mentoring, etc...

In Europe, it is generally the norm to include a photo of yourself on the CV... Never seen that in the US. However given this site is called "VisualCV" (emphasis on visual), I can see why people posting on there would want to incl

I don't think these are weird policies anymore. I work at a major software company and one year ago, we went from having a set of number of vacations days to an "unlimited vacation" policy. Many companies are already doing th

I am not sure what the full context for your quote is, but most people would agree that Whatsapp focused on growth (in terms of number of users) and not so much revenue (i.e. they made enough to be sustainable and independent).

Good for you for being able to have more compassion towards these people than I do :) People save on rent all the time: crashing at friends, moving in with their BF/GF, moving back with their parents, etc... so this is nothing new and

I wouldn't really compare homelessness to being employed at Google and choosing to sleep in the parking lot.

Neat. I wonder how it will compare to the Roomba. I own a Roomba 770 and am pretty happy with it so far. I am assuming the filter is probably going to be better on the Dyson. The 360 is supposed to come out in 2015 and only in Japan at firs

This is a very difficult question for anyone to answer for you. It all depends on which metrics/values are most important to you. Here are a few generic ideas: You can look on Glassdoor for company reviews but they tend to be biased ne

Not sure about that. If you are in Tech (or IT as they like to call it here), you can probably qualify for the Knowledge Migrant permit ance chances are the process is a lot faster. Took me about 10 days to get a work permit in the Netherla

How has your experience been with VRBO? Any reason that has prompted you not to use AirBnb? Edit to ask: do you mind sharing which island/area, your rental is in? 90% occupancy rate sounds pretty amazing.

I have a few rentals properties which each brings in around $300/month after all expenses (including property management so I don't have to do anything). Each property price is around 56-60k so if you get a mortgage you only need

It seems that many equate H-1B with bringing in cheap labor from abroad. The truth is if you are an international student in the US and would like to stay in the US afterwards then applying for an H1-B (presumably after being on a F-1 stude
