It looks like this was a sales department. The metric of productivity was sales per employee according to the tweeted image and the Nikkei article.

The sources also mention better use of meeting time via an increase in shorter meetings and teleconferences.

The article links to the CDC report: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su63e0923a1.htm?s_c...

The CDC report and the article present both worst-case and best-case scenarios for Liberia and Sierra Leone. 1.4M is worst-case (no intervention) and "almost ended" is best-case ("If, by late December 2014, approximately 70% of patients were placed either in ETUs or home or in a community setting such that there is a reduced risk for disease transmission [...] then the epidemic in both countries would almost be ended by January 20, 2015").

His advisor's memoir is also interesting:

"So after Yitang graduated, I told him the normal way of seeking jobs. When I looked into his eyes, I found a disturbing soul, a burning bush, an explorer who wanted to reach the north pole, a mountaineer who determined to scale Mt. Everest, and a traveler who would brave thunders and lightnings to reach his destination. Yitang never came back to me requesting recommendation letters. Apparently, he did not seek a job. Even to the date Yitang announced his monumental result I did not know what was the best for him. Though I was sure of one thing, − he could not survive the life of “tenure-track,” “tenure,” and “promotions”. It was not his type. I regarded him as a free spirit, and I should let him fly."

Her name doesn't necessarily mean "bow", though. "Yumi" is a reading of many first names, like 裕美 (something like "full of beauty") or 由美, which are more common than 弓 (bow).

This article makes a lot more sense if you see the sister article:

I get: "The fastest route is 232 マイル, which will take approximately NaN to NaN steps if you walked it."

At Stanford, you don't declare your major until your 2nd or 3rd year, and can change it after declaring. Students declaring CS will have already taken a number of CS courses, including the fundamentals of CS.

They set the machine to play at 2-ply, i.e., it only looks two moves ahead. It's not so surprising even a good algorithm would lose in 15 moves at 2-ply.

The article mentions they also played at 5-ply and it lasted 27 and 30 moves against Kasparov, which is probably better than most casual players would do.

In case anyone else had trouble:

Yale: pg. 26

Colorado School of Mines: pg. 14

I must agree the Colorado School of Mines struck me as warm as well, from the get-go, before I read your comment.

I like this interview with Nabokov in 1969.

Q: How do you rank yourself among writers (living) and of the immediate past?

Nabokov: I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile – some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question.

It's more like if you live overseas, it's expensive to pay double taxes. So some people are renouncing citizenship partly to pay less tax, not just to avoid paperwork.

He said "I didn't work on Draw Something."

I just hope people understand Yahoo Japan is not Yahoo. They are basically separate companies.

I'm not sure what you meant by that, but the article does in fact link to the relevant source:

I don't see it. Can you point out similar passages?

Link to the actual edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_...

It's been like that since like 1999. And there's always been this comment in the source:

<!-- mail me if you find the secret -->

<!-- (no, you can't have a hint) -->

That's not what the article says at all. In fact, a CS education is likely not good enough. There are plenty of new graduates who do not know much about, e.g., IPC or have a good feel for real world performance numbers. The article rightly recommends working on actual systems including OSS projects.

I think she is saying if I want to be B, and B is Bill Gates, then I want to be Bill Gates, therefore the question "how can I become like you, Mr. Gates?"

A few of those are from the 2003 book "How Would You Move Mount Fuji?" which is about Microsoft interviews. They are part of Silicon Valley/Seattle lore, but likely no longer used.

Congrats. Just some feedbacks.

Have you tried setting Minimum font size also to "Very large"?

The papers are from JSTOR, not MIT. MIT pays for a subscription to JSTOR like many other universities do.

I think you are confusing the wall with the news feed. The original wall was a single wiki on your profile (ca 2004?), later replaced with public messages on your profile. The news feed is the updates you see when you login.
