This is a really cool idea! How many restaurants do you have signed up? The proof is in the pudding, so the more restaurants that use this, the more likely it is for your to work our any bugs/process issues etc and for your company and pr

What specifically ties your system to "code"? It seems anyone can ask any question. Aside from the monetary award, how are you differrent from Yahoo answers?

Not sure if that conclusion is right. It probably wouldn't result in an explosion and the energy output would probably be in the form of light. Regardless, I'm going with Stephen Hawking on this one: "If you ever meet your anti-self, don'

I think this review is very valuable. The key is to always look at it from the other persons point of view as well. I like when an interviewee asks questions. But there needs to be forethought and finnesse in the interaction. Your quest

See, that's the kicker. You're able to see what the client needs, determine value and offer the best solution. As an independent business, you saw the benefit of that right away. You got PAID! That being said, does that really mean you'r

I've googled potential candidates, and that usually tells you a ton about that person. As far as I know, it's pretty common practice. But maybe HR doesn't know much about that yet...

I did the cost calculations for a very very small business, and rackspace's cloud hosting was more cost effective option for us. I'm sure at some point that will no longer be the case, but we'll calculate that when we get to it. Even then

Any AI book list that includes "On Intelligence" as part of the reading list is good with me...

It's very interesting. It's a work in progress, but the canvas looks good. One of the huge problems with buying a new car is the sheer amount of "comparison data" available. It's near impossilbe for someone to make a good decision (good

While it didn't spoon feed pearls of wisdom as on pricing strategies, it was a fun read, and at the end I was saying something to the effect of... ditto! Pricing's more of an art, as are many things when it comes to running your own shop.

Amen, a good portion of my team are recent college grads/unemployed/self taught etc. I realized early on that I'm not Google & I wouldn't be able to realize the value of "top of the line" engineers who everyone else if competing for.

Yes, I do operate in a demanding market. As such I've had to really figure out how to make this work. I started out by offerring "rockstars" loads of money & potential equity. This was unsustainable. I mean, they were rockstars and

I agree with the article. Hiring based on skill alone doesn't work. I usually look for the most agile person. Someone comfortable wearing many hats. Unfortunately, there's no quick way of figuring this out. After many painful lessons,

knowing me, if I didn't think today may be my last day on earth, I might just end up procrastinating :-P So, death clock based on life expectancy would probably have a negative effect on others like myself :)

While it is no iPad, the price point is certainly interesting. It could easily be a laptop substitute in third world countries, especially if the battery life is anywhere close to Apple's iPad. I could also see a lot of businesses (especi

Yup, just another reason I ask. Actually, I know a few Harvard Dropouts who've gone a similar path, while not Billionaires, they've done more than OK. Anyone know where the Future Harvard Dropout Cafe is, that might be the place to be? :

IMHO, turn the colors down a bit :) I would look deeper at the site, but the bright colors against the black background made me feel a bit headache. On the positive note, it seems full of energy and enthusiasm & cool content.

Totally Agree! Matter of fact building something right now to do just that... Hopefully will have something to show by end of this month!

I've got yet another .NET shop, and have been meaning to break into mobile market(beside WP7, I know). Trying to weigh the benefits of going native (i.e. learning/hiring iOS/Java) vs using something like mono & present talent. Feedbac

I've been in both situations. I've had cofounders, who weren't quite as motivated as me, at which point I felt, "I might as well have done this alone". Then I tried doing it myself and found myself overwhelmed and thinking "wouldn't it be

In the tech world I think the only time it matters is when you're a noob. A college degree give some credibility to landing a job etc. But if you've got a proven track record developing kick-ass software, that's what will keep your career

by Killah911 16y ago
Well, the real question is, what "value" is derived from said degree? Better job right away? Most of the times that isn't the case. I can understand the "value" in actually being on campus and interacting with the next Gates or Zuckerburg
