Name a successful product made by bad developers. I have a relatively who consults for a big publisher on these offshored educational software products. None of them sell.

Well yeah, look at all the hot startups out there. Except for a few orgs at the extreme high end of tech, a YC style startup is a marketing project with basic IT. Dropbox and a couple others might be an exception.

Joel Spolsky and Stackoverflow is a good example. They build a quality product, treat users with respect, and (I guess) are on a good track financially, and make their money in an aboveboard way. They even go so far as to build in some defe

Rotating/randomize leadership is called "sortition" and it has been known since Roman Empire times as a solution to the corruption and inefficiency problems of hierarchy and representative democracy. It also solves the problem of bizarre d

You find productivity goes up due to robots, who should get the higher pay? The CEO? If so, why? Or should prices be lowered? It is completely disingenuous to argue over on "deserves" economic surplus, the whole point is that surplus is in

To use technology apologies, the thing is that memory is not a video recording. It is constantly actively maintain reformed in your brain every time you recall it. Some research has shown that a long term memory can be destroyed by inducing

This is where honesty has to be given its due. I expect A CEO to honestly state the max plausible downside and upside of their business, and to have a decent argument (which I take with a grain of salt) for why they expect the upside to hap

How is this better than just not using Linkedin? I used the Linkedin network (even the recruiters-- it only takes two good ones to balance out a hundred junk spammy ones) great effect in landing my last two jobs, even while the site itself

In addition to concerns raised by other posters, bonus points for the invalid SSL cert. This site must be a honeypot to name and shame the criminally stupid. Eventually the official raison d'etre--that your colleagues care whether you Linke

How old is Edward Kmett? He has been a major force in Haskell (fancy type/algorithm stuff) in the past few years, but did not start his contributions around age 20 like many top Haskellers of the past 15 years (folks who were not on the ori

You need general, sure but the TSA management is not Apple, or even a politicians who uses media manipulation to win hearts and minds. It is just inept damage control trying to cover up corruption and incompetence.

Why would a PR flak ever stop a critic from embarrassing and discrediting himself? That would be gold for the TSA. The only exception would be if the critic is so powerful that even a false story would hurt the TSA. I don't think SmarterTr

Except what actually happens (Hello, PATRIOT act!) is that all the evidence of harm is secret, and so the Supreme Court refuses to grant standing to any injured party, and so discovery never happens and the evidence can never be brought to

The hardware requirements you just described are flea market level, less expensive than the time spent thinking about how expensive they are.

Why would you ever ask a human how many commits someone made? # of phone calls I can almost understand, but we should be beyond that as well.

A prediction engine (aka adaptive shorthand, or similar) would give even better ROI than manual practice in standard typing. Why are predictive keyboards so popular on phones but not desktops and laptops?

Vendors are already tracking all my itemized purchases and sharing with every advertising company in existence, it would be nice if they would share the data with me, too. "Google Takeout " indeed.

This is a wonderful apologia for the needy/homely lifestyle... conserving energy for something important. And the flipside of course: pity on the extravagant, wild, dress up and party lifestyle: a way to comfort yourself if you don't have a
