Not only that but prof. Ng (ml class) actually suggests putting it on a resume.

That's true. There are also several instances where wage rate unit (monthly, weekly, hourly, bi-weekly or yearly) is set lower than it should, like $6k/hour when they mean $6k/month.

I'm afraid I'm not. Guy was really pushy, when I didn't budge, he just said "good luck" and hung up. Then called me again in a month or so. Truth is I probably would've given him some leads if he didn't start off with demands and being a douche.

I don't know how it is nowadays compared to 2~3 years ago when I searched for a job in UK but imagine that with stackoverflow careers, coderstack, linkedin (not groups), github jobs, monthly hn who's hiring posts the situation improved at least slightly.

Weirdest experiences I had were when recruiters would call from a blocked number and leave fart noises or some other idiocy on my voicemail. Or when one guy flat out said (and one implied) that if I don't give him all the companies I ever talked to, he'd not give me the "offer" he "had" for me.

Minority of recruiters were good but most pretty scummy.

At least in the case of Cloudant (CouchDB) the servers are in the same facility as AppHarbor.

Residency is conditional the first 2 years of marriage. Both spouses need to go through interviews, appear they are a couple - have joint bank accounts, bills, live together, etc. It's also not a given that somebody with no existing legal status will be granted residency even if legitimately married.

I don't want to promote the site; it's #88 on quantcast right now and it looks like it does roughly what is described in the article at least with regard to gov data. The parent company, which has a bunch of other similar aggregator sites, not too long ago was hiring programmers for $70 in Poland, a pretty high number over here. It seems they made good money with this.

If you look at that H-1B table that was up here a while ago, there are at least 24 software engineer, analyst, programmer type entries that paid more than $500k and up to $1mil and 52 entries between $200k and 1mil. Those exclude managerial or executive job titles. Although given how many errors that table had, I don't know how accurate that information is. I'm sure there are plenty more non visa people that earn in that range or above.

It's about faster release cycles not copying features.

If it's what I think it is, they used to have this feature for app tabs last year, then removed it. I couldn't find much writeup, here's http://lifehacker.com/5608189/restore-chromes-toolbar-when-w... a mention. I'm happy it's back.

If they're state employees, at least for Texas, you can have that info along with their name, agency and title right here: http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee.... You can probably get it for other states too.

It's a Look-and-say sequence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence

Mid last year there was a tab option to hide the url bar, I can't remember if only for pinned tabs or regular ones also. For some reason that got removed and now we have separate app windows in recent releases, which in my opinion, are somewhat annoying mostly due to tabs originating from app window being opened in separate browser window.

Out of curiosity I spent a bit looking around this site and reading about it. What I found were half-truths, inconsistencies (at least one), broken links, somebody calls it a scam, somebody else calls it legit... very weird, I wouldn't buy into it.

Seriously, I got all excited too, however http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/update-on-chrome-web-...

That and wasn't Nat King Cole a guy?

Haven't used it for a while but I have fond memories of that silly fetch audio and trying to convince the system i mean Tom Thumb not Tom Tom Asian Grill.

I interviewed with one. A .NET web development studio, can't remember who specifically. They called the stuff I did "open-sourcy" and I could tell they looked down on it. I think it's the perception that cheap programmers use cheap tools, produce cheap code and are low quality.

hahaha, I don't even care if if wasn't actually moldy. If Horizon Realty's policy is "sue first, ask questions later" they don't deserve good PR. Congratulations Jeffrey Michael, you're prince among spokespeople... no not really.

I had a lucid dream when I was much younger then couple years ago I tried a couple methods and imediately when I realized I'm dreaming, i'd wake up. Experimentation also led to sleep paralysis on couple occasions.

If you like crazy, here's a blog of a guy who went from Vienna to Pyongyang by train, entered North Korea through the border with Russia and spent 36 hours without a guide...until he got to Pyongyang http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.com/

I don't have one. I do watch a couple of shows online and have seen full seasons of couple others after they ended. Overall I think I watch more shows/movies than my friends who have TVs.

Brian Cox, the physicist. I missed a chance to see Stephen Hawking. Out of some bigger names I saw Stallman, Mitnick and Desmond Tutu, all interesting people.
