Actually, many people get those jobs by working hard in high school to get into a prestigious college, and then working hard in college to get into a prestigious banking or accounting firm. What many see as luck is actually 10+ years of ha

If anything, I've seen the opposite problem. Programming is fun- reading manuals is boring. People tend to want to dive right into the programming, without first doing research that would greatly improve the speed and stability of the pro

The 10x coder doesn't really have a magical trick for dealing with those kind of things. He simply maintains his focus, and makes steady progress until the problem has been solved. However, the 1x coder ignores the problem, or declares it

The structure of phd programs highly discourages doing important research. Important problems carry high risk of getting scooped, but do not offer proportionally higher upside. The rational course of action is to choose the most irrelevan

Cool idea but doesnt track my route (pittsburgh to boston). As a side note, the official interface for trying to do this is quite annoying, and this 'beta' is promising.

Actually, the way ebay works, he didn't neccecarily have to be taking advantage of them. As I recall, you set a maximum bid and an incremental bid, and ebay automatically outbids other people for you until your maximum bid was reached. He c

Oh come on. The uptick rule? Great example of a thought experiment used to contradict the results of experiments actually carried out under real circumstances. (+ 5 points: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html ) Letting traders, ma

Let's keep one thing in mind: financial engineering is not like civil engineering. It is not about helping society. It is about making money. With that in mind, the practitioners of financial engineering aren't really doing so bad (the in

I like the idea, but there are quite a few errors. I had to try 3 times to add my degree to my profile. Furthermore, I keep getting internal server errors when browsing companies (happens whenever I look at a page other than 1).
