What was the problem and how did it get diagnosed and fixed?

30+ interviews suggest poor interviewing skills. Feel free to pm me and I'd be happy to help.

Why would someone enjoy coding if he/she were terrible at it? Do you have a specific example in mind?

Not glib, just personal experience :)

Why do you feel Windows a PITA to program in?

Registering a developer account is free.

Personally, what I'd like to discuss is if there is any moral value that Facebook provides. Does Facebook actually benefit society? (Maybe more precisely we can ask whether Facebook fulfills an aspect of Maslow's hierarchy of needs).

I just keep hearing the word 'value' used over and over here and it frustrates me that it is so often only associated with 'business value' rather than something more morally significant.

Totally agree. What she needs is guidance and he could have provided it to her with an honest opinion. Why not speak your mind?

Agreed. Definitely did not see what the author was talking about there, which leads me to suspect he started watching the video with a strong bias in mind.

To be fair he qualified the questions with "When the ball is in your court..." So the assumption here is that the founder has leverage.

Tasteless? I don't think you're getting it. He risked his life completely unnecessarily while he needed to be a father. What he has done is categorically selfish. Your defense of his actions is that "It was his lifelong ambition." If you believe that then you already acknowledge that his action is selfish; <i>his</i> ambition caused him to abandon his responsibilities as a father and husband.

I don't see it as much as criticism as it is a simple fact. I posted not because I wanted to make a change so much as because I was utterly surprised by someone defending this person. Furthermore, my comments are in reply to your post and not directed at any members of the family, but I would hope that at least the wife realizes the moral implications of her husband's decision at this point.

Ok this is kind of ridiculous. Really? Really? No I'm quite sure in this case it's definitely selfish, independent of what his wife thinks. And not passing judgement on the dead? Cmon man you have to be trolling.

This is just what happens when you have a lot of money. Money is spent inefficiently because its all relative to the revenue you're taking in.

I really don't think perfect speech recognition is that far away. 10 years and we're gonna have something that can work. 10 years and we'll have an advanced Google Goggles that can help with diagnosis. Ask the question "What are the limits of human input?" Nothing besides touch, taste, hear, see and smell, and we're getting closer and closer to being able to input that data and process it as humans would.
