Working in an open office is horrible. I would rather try to work in a noisy, overpriced, obnoxious, coffee chain, than spend another minute in an open office plan...

Oh wow good point, that's never happened before... /sarcasm To your point, longevity does not equal success. Twelve would make it 2003.. Before Facebook. Before the huge boom. Twelve years is a long time to be a "startup&quot

Absolutely! Asian and European schools have longer days, and the social activities of the kids are based in and around the school. I think it's safer, promote learning and socialization in a structured environment, and it takes pressur

Oh wow, dodged a bullet with that one! I work in government relations and have a similar problem. Potential employers want to know how I'm going to solve their government relations, lobbying, or PR issues. I've had ideas stolen ma

Maybe this is a lesson for the future for us all: Don't give away ideas unless you've been hired, or someone has signed an NDA. Otherwise he's kinda right: They stole your idea because you had no legal claim to it. Morally th

I think homework is necessary for some subjects, like math and physics, because practice is where the learning comes from IMHO. In other subjects, homework is anachronistic. I think we should extend the school day like Japan, and build home

I feel like we've seen this before. Young startup, visionary founder, boat loads of money, then after lots of money burned, outright lies, false claims, or at the very least vaporware.

Will this have any effect on the John Deer issue?

Perhaps I'm being a little cynical, but the author of this post comes across slightly offensive. Like a millennial trying to tell an older generation they're doing it wrong. was a discussion before on this board about hiring pr

I'm not saying that consumer reports did anything wrong, but insider trading or not, it happens. And places we would not expect. Who would've ever thought that members of Congress in their staff would be allowed to do insider tra

Like others, I was at first really pissed off at this saga, but the more I've read, the more I feel like it's a hoax. This whole thing has just been one scam on the media.

I'm not so sure, remember when it was perfectly legal for members of Congress and their staff to use information gained through their jobs to make stock purchases? I mean this was just a few years ago....

I still think we should give Tesla the benefit of the doubt. This article feels like a hit piece, again. At the very least, it's a media organization gleefully taking a hit at an innovative company. I support Tesla less because it h

Mr. Carney Learned a very important lesson in Washington: when you can't refute your opponents arguments, attack them personally.

Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see anything mentioning certification. With that be an alternative? If you're hiring someone to code in Java, is there not a certification they can get?

Revenge is personal, whereas retribution is societal? They might be the same thing ! Still, it's an interesting point. Prison is revenge for the victims. You can also be retribution by society and the government. One is in response to

Sounds like a good idea to me. In America, we do too much imprisonment, and not enough rehabilitation. I understand has a lot to do with costs and politics, but I really think we should stop warehousing people for years and years, with no r

I don't know if this is more about helicopter parenting, as some of the comments might suggest, but coddling kids, and keeping them away from anything which might make them feel bad, uncomfortable, etc. I feel like universities are rem

I thought the same thing I mean... IS that really him? It looks - pardon the phrase - photoshopped. Like someone pasted a smudged face on to another body. The figure on the right is so clear, and yet the one on the left looks like a deformi

Anyone else go into a Costco and then try to pay only to be hit with the Amex deal, and say no thanks? I wouldn't mind having a Costco membership, but the Amex thing really rubbed the wrong way, so I never bothered to get a membership.

These are actually pretty cool. Need to add this to my list for when I visit Europe next. Maybe find some in a junk/antique/thrift shop?

I'm glad I waited. Perhaps I am one of the few who is ..ok with using Windows 8. I don't feel the need to upgrade, and I'm deeply hesitant to upgrade for fear of something like this. I am taking risks with security, but it&#x
