I'm not trying to impute evil motives to Facebook and I understand why they're doing this. I'm just pointing out that blog posts about philosophies are trumped by contracts and it's ridiculous for Zuckerberg to expect anyone to take his wor

The requirements don't, however, say that growing and proving one's self will result in increased equity. In programming, usually you have a first job where you grow and prove yourself, and then go get a job for a significantly increased in

In Illinois, you pay twice as much for tolls without EZ-Pass; a literal cost of privacy. And it's getting significantly harder to avoid these kinds of surveillance. You forgot to mention: never have a utility bill, or a mortgage, or a car..

Actually, books should lower the cost of heating/cooling a house. They'll act to keep the temperature level in the house at a static level, though they would cost more if you often cycled your house between warm and cold. It's like keeping

As this thread mentions cryptic code, Perl, regexps, and primes, I'm compelled to paste the cryptic Perl regexp to determine primes: /^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/

Abbreviations expand into a single output. TextMate Snippets expand that output and then make it trivial to move between the parts you'll want to customize. So a 'for' abbreviation would output: for (;;) { } and leave the cursor after the }

You have to run your screen session from a stable host, not a laptop that gets disconnected all the time. Do you have a web host with ssh access? A buddy with a VPS somewhere? A spare $5 a month to spend on a shell account host to never hav

Humans are superficial. Hot or Not was a ridiculously huge success for this reason. Looks like a good site idea to me, as long as they design to keep down their customer support costs.

A bank should not, however, attach conditions which almost certainly detract from the client's ability to pay back the loan. Banks do this all the time, they call it "interest". The government is trying to make sure that the money is used

I think a problem with this is that it doesn't just highlight consistently good commenters, it does so at the time of moderation. When I'm deciding whether to upvote a comment, there's an indicator that appears to say everyone else thinks I

I worked at a startup with an abusive, toxic culture. Insults were used in place of greetings, screaming was used in place of negotiation. The culture came from straight from the CEO. The 2-3 managers (total company size fluctuated between

Then the title is Lead Developer and the small team on the product makes it clear that they'll be defining strategy as well. Maybe CTO if they're going to grow into more of a management role. Adding founders after acquisition is just silly.

Check out the book "Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It" about the "Results-Only Work Environment". It's mostly a case study of how Best Buy implemented a workplace culture that made office hours optional. Maybe also the books of Ricardo Semle
