Unless you want to work for reddit and there is no negotiation :)

What's a good starting point trying to find internal recruiters?

flashblock.

OP is being sarcastic.

You probably know him as patio11

This. The primary purpose is to avoid the pain of not having what you need, and the arguments and bad mood that follows, simply because you didn't add something to a list or thought you would remember to buy but didn't

any good sources on sun's history?

A lot of the announcements they have made on April 1st have turned into real projects

At the very least Microsoft should include some base level keyboard with the device and keep an upgrade available.

My first thoughts as well. All the marketing images of the product have the screen connected to the keyboard but the keyboard isn't included.

also most of northeast will be blocked off for multiple months in winter due to snow accumulation on streets and on people's doors

Great write up and break down of why search is hard and how unique a position Google is in. That said searching the entire web as a business isn't very feasible for many companies now and hence most of the other giants competing with Google instead use the asymmetric approach of bringing content into their own garden and building a specialized search engine around it. Since the data in their own garden is structured the amount of work to build an acceptable quality search engine is relatively less. See apple's app store, facebook search, twitter's search, amazon's a9 etc.

and gigaom is dead :(

They are not, but technology gadgets are driven to improvement with speeds and design, a luxury smartwatch will be just as prone to being out of date a year later as an entry level smartwatch

I was hoping to see the snopes link as a rebuttal.

Parts of the post sound like something the voice over in burn notice might say

yep and hence the constant uphill battle by companies to continually add new features to be able to advertise how much more the product can do for you and thus how much better it is. Its the checkbox mentality of the sales process which creates this race

Didn't see the username and while reading the comment a thought came to mind - this seems like something Michael Church might have written. Looked up and it was indeed Michael Church

are you thinking if we can potentially deflect comets?

Wouldn't this be part of netflix's overall strategy to be as accessible as possible to all their subscribers by being available on all platforms?

How much is the shareholders voting on decisions in a democratic way different than the employees voting on decisions?

Sounds like pandering to the target crowd which is under 25 at the university and hoping some of them would come work for FB at that point of time.

humblebrag?

because where else do you have a network of "friends" as extensive as the one on facebook?

as shown by google with g+. Great web app but not that many users

So kind of like the stargate SG1 plot line where instead of the ancients spreading life across the universe using stargates you have meteros doing the work

What you describe in your third paragraph is exactly what was shown in "The Office" episode - "branch closing"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Closing#Synopsis).

Based on the pitch/plan of the manager of the Stamford branch the C level executives plan to close the Scranton branch and make the manager of Stamford the head of the northeast division. The Stamford manager leverages this new potential position to get a C level position at Staples thus destroying all plans that Dunder Miflin had made.

This example isn't cited in the Gervais Principle series but is a classic example of the sociopath layer devising a heads I win tails you lose scenario

great. Commenting for looking at later.

It's like we are living in the darkest timeline and what we have is evil Abed
