is this traceable to an individual computer? for instance, if i am using this on a college campus that traditionally bans the use of torrents, am i likely to get caught?


I don't think the college would be able to detect it as normal torrent traffic, but it would be pretty trivial to catch you using this specific site/service once your campus hears about it.


While it may be traceable, I don't think you'll get in trouble because Coinado is the service doing the actual torrenting.


Some EMBA programs aren't trivial to get into... Especially ones like the Wharton EMBA or the Harvard EMBA.

Prestige aside, I think the value of the MBA (or the EMBA) still lies in the potential to network with other individuals who work in similar spaces as you do. This is probably one of the best / only reasons to do it.


Harvard has an EMBA program? Must be a new program! A few years ago when I was researching, only top institution that didn't have EMBA program was Harvard and MIT just had launched their EMBA program.


Can you give some examples of people who have EMBAs and are widely considered successful? Were they successful before the EMBA?


I don't think it matters to be considered widely successful, only to better your career, life and your family's.

Just go to any program's website and you will see they are regular people. They will have a list of alumni and their titles. That could give you an idea. These are Directors, VPs and CEOs. Are they "widely" considering successful? Well, they are not as known as say the Pope or the President.

But, here is a list (notice it applies to MBA)

"An impressive 40 of the 100 best paid CEOs in corporate America last year have an M.B.A., according to the Forbes list of America’s Highest Paid Chief Executives."


Satya Nadella comes to mind. He got an EMBA from Chicago Booth, class of 1997.


Just out of curiosity... How are you planning on monetizing this?


Well in case that its advertising platform there are a lot of different monetizing ways like pay per click (pays business), "staff recommended"

offers which pops to the top and are "more visible" than others, or some pricing scheme with "pay as you go", "monthly subscription" and etc.


The two main sites that I find myself going back to practice interview questions (non-algorithmic) are Codewars (http://codewars.com) and Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net). Give them a shot sometime!


USA, Relocation | Intern

Stack: Ruby on Rails, Android

Resume: Email for more info

Contact: ZWR3ZW5nIFthdF0gZ21haWw= (base64, all the rage these days!)

Currently on the mobile-web team at a large ecommerce shop (read: SOA). Planning on matriculating at Harvard Business School in the fall and would like to spend a summer building some cool stuff.


Just an FYI, those who may be doing the hiring may have no understanding of how to contact you. I'd highly suggest to add your email as well. Make it as easy as possible for someone to reach out.


Actually.

If a hirer does not know how to identify and promply decode a base64 string, he should not contact one.

@wengzilla, Great idea by the way.



I am sure a lot of people also think that the email in your profile is public. It is not obvious that it is hidden.


It's one google search away so it's not exactly rocket science.

This is very much a beginner's book. When I interviewed for internships in the summer of 2008, the interviewers expected that I would already be familiar with a large portion of the content of this book.


That's actually been tried by Groupon in the past... It wasn't successful largely because it's hard to get merchants to adopt that way of thinking and also because people don't walk around with the Groupon app open all the time.


Doesn't really need an app, just needs a phone number. Even if your initial marketing list for a business is every customer they've ever had, you're still starting with something.


do you really have a pet goat?!


author here. sadly, I don't, but I always wanted one.


"then transfer to Harvard or Yale." this is not very likely. Harvard and Yale have extremely low transfer rates.


lol. merge conflicts: "<<<<<<< HEAD"
