You and I know that, but presumably the kid didn't.[1] I understood this as a story about hacker spirit in a kid, and it made me smile. [1]: If he did already know, and presented this idea as his own? He may not be a great hacker, but

Nearly every time I've heard the phrase "in bed with" it's been in reference to men, and the meaning is hot man-on-man collusion (not sex). However it is a really unfortunate phrase to use where the group is mixed gend

As I type this comment, most other comments are pointing out how a 6th grader got this wrong, by failing to suggest the "correct" solution of abandoning printing. I don't... how do I put this nicely. This is a kid. He is smar

The following is a half-formed thought, so feel free to pick it apart. I think there is a class of companies that really do not require outside funding. They could very feasibly bootstrap (grow from cash flow). Often this would be a super

Yes, 50 is actually a lot of employees for a startup. It's a weird size where you're already feeling some of the drawbacks of a larger organization, but without most of the benefits. I'd almost go so far as to say that 50-1

OK I understand now. I read this sentence in the article: ...suggesting that when he passes away, he’d like for his billions to go to Tesla’s Musk. Although leaving your billions to X implies not leaving it to Y -- e.g. Gates -- that&#x27

I agree that a paraphrase =/= a quote. Are you saying my paraphrase significantly misrepresented him? If so, how? (I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just genuinely don't understand your point.)

Probably Larry Page already knew about this when he recently said he'd rather invest in Musk biz than Gates charity? (Not that I agree with him, but it helps explain why he uttered such a thing.)

Although that doesn't seem to be the same thing as a "realtime" dashboard, that is an amazingly well-done site. 20 years ago it had the not-entirely-undeserved nickname Slummerville. It's remarkable how much it's ch

I at least give them credit for responding so quickly to the online shitstorm -- and with what seems like a reasonable, specific plan.

Adding static typing to a dynamic language means that more work must be done at compile time than at run time. One appeal of dynamic languages is you don't have a long compile time[1]. So I imagine they emphasize this to address the wo

It's probably not required if you're seeking just-another-job from just-another-hiring-manager. However it's probably a good idea if you're interviewing a founder (especially of a client-based business) who's seekin

I agree, and I'm definitely thinking of larger cities, in part. I'm also thinking of smaller towns. People may drive there, park, then walk around and enjoy it -- and spend money. There are towns like this around New England, for

Instead of "reinventing malls", how about "reinventing" what's left of the downtown shopping district in cities and towns? I think the only way to compete with online shopping and with Wal-Mart, is with an experienc

Actually I always hear it pronounced Wuhster. Although maybe you did mean "oo" as in "wood" (the sound I hear around here) rather than "root".

Well, Shinjuku is on the West side of Tokyo. I wonder how the measurements compare on the East side, very near the bay. And in Chiba. And at Narita airport, closer to Fukushima.
