I don't think demand is going to shift to electric until it becomes more economical than combustion. Path of least resistance still rules the economy. Telsa's current state of affairs indicates that electric has a long way to go before it c

This seems insane - these guys have sold, what, 2000 models at the most? And they would be even worse off the instant all of their government subsidies dry up. Their innovation may be remarkable, but the fact is that they make a product whi

Although I am not a Hadoop guy myself, this is still excellent advice. Learning an emerging technology that's starting to gain traction in the workplace is a good way to distinguish yourself among your peers when you start competing for job

Continue working with C# and find some decent open source .NET projects to work on, like RestSharp (generic REST wrapper library) or BlogEngine.NET, or work with some of the .NET APIs you aren't familiar with yet. I'm in the process of teac

I would love to see the execution plan for that Regex-heavy SQL query. I'll send it to our DBA if he's ever having a bad day and needs a reminder of how bad things can be elsewhere ;)

Basically what this article is talking about are two breeds of entrepreneurs: 1. Lifestyle business guys like the ones featured in the article 2. Big exit guys who are after the Forbes cover, the big IPO / acquisition, the VC funding, etc..

Depends on your definition of "better place" I personally think that a company that finds a way to profitably convince people en masse on the virtues of the free market and why it's an all-around positive force in the universe would put an

"do you just fire an email and forget about it?" If you really care about getting something done, then you're going to need to stay on it. The best way to do it without being annoying is: 1. To be extremely polite and articulate each time y
