This seems pretty tame, IMO. I think these folks should pick their battles. Better to have intelligent kids making noise (as they'll probably listen to you when you ask to quiet down) than to have belligerent kids who were raised with poor manners.


Yes, because when you're living in an apartment that costs $3,200/month and can't fall asleep because your neighbor is blasting nerdcore music, at least you can find solace in the fact that the noisemaker is an intelligent, well-mannered computer whiz who is apparently so intelligent and well-mannered that he doesn't recognize making lots of noise in the middle of the night is rude.

As for darting out into traffic, there's an Android app for that, right?


>Yes, because when you're living in an apartment that costs $3,200/month and can't fall asleep because your neighbor is blasting nerdcore music...

This never happened. What you imagine Google interns to be like and what they actually are seem to be disjoint sets. Music isn't even mentioned in either article or the Yelp review.

And I am somewhat suspect of the claim that Google interns are darting into traffic. The problem is if it happens even once by accident, you'll have residents complaining that it's an epidemic.


I was being sarcastic, perhaps poorly. I know people who work at Google, and I can assure you that they don't like listening to music. Or soaking in hot tubs. Ever. I'm not sure about jaywalking though. I'll have to ask.


Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but waking your neighbors up in the middle of the night definitely sounds like extremely poor manners to me. And intelligence doesn't correlate with good manners, either.


Not even the people who live there have claimed that they're being awoken in the middle of the night. It just says they use the hot tube and once someone heard someone singing.


I read in the yelp reviews that they were singing in the middle of the nights, and throwing out parties during the week.

The apartment complex should write lease violations to offenders (or Google)


Hey - you might want to add www.thinkster.io to the "extended reading" section, as its regarded as one of the best free comprehensive angularjs resources (and uses many of the egghead videos)


It's comprehensive, it's a bag of links to videos broken out into "steps".


This kid is a thief, AOL should take him to court for equity in his company.


The kid's doing what he believes in. Stop the hate, man. Moreover if you read the original article[1], he was allowed to be working out of AOL.

I like to think that if he does well he'll put some of what he earns back into programs like this one, and maybe a little thank you to AOL.


I can't tell if you are just trolling or if you really mean to classify Eric Simons as a criminal?


He lived in an office building illegally, so yes, he's a criminal.


So if I illegally speed does that make me a criminal. Would you classify me by that one action, or the many other ones I do each day? By your definition a great number of the people that live on this earth would be classified as criminals.


So if I illegally speed does that make me a criminal.

Yes. Speeding endangers other people so that you can get somewhere slightly faster.


No. Moving violations are not necessarily crimes. In Massachusetts, I think that reckless driving is a crime (usually interpreted as 20MPH), but I know that plain ol' speeding is not. If you contest, you see a magistrate; if you appeal the magistrate's decision, you do get a trial with a judge, but the ticket itself is considered evidence of your speeding.


The point is, when you speed, you take something from someone else for your own benefit and that's the essence of criminality.


You took my attention away to read your pathetic comment, I pronounce you a criminal.


And I'm a psychopath because I don't care!


When you say 1000 schools, do you mean 1000 schools using your product everyday or that one person from 1000 schools has filled out the form on your website?


The former!

Clever is deployed in > 1,000 schools, moving data on > 350,000 students to applications every day.


Just to clarify: 1000+ schools are using Clever for ALL of their student data and not just some test accounts?


Yes!
