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 they should have a special color sticker, for MBA's with

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 the split browsing infrastructure can even compile JavaScrip

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 point he made was true. Haters gonna hate.

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 time. However, if you have attended, you should be heads dow

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 scrapbooks and are on fb, really use it on fb. As a business decisi

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 algorithmic problems you highlighted. I am not sure, what it

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 libraries from scratch? Who can implement new algorithms

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-mode-cou...

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 about puzzles and programming puzzles. My thoughts were that

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't require much of those skills. Not all jobs are that inn

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 = x source: http://library.thinkquest.org/J002235/hard

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 online but hasn't really written or programmed anything. Not

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 manager the following. If 1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/
