Would you care to enlighten us then?

I was under the impression that universities were institutions that distributed knowledge, not entrepreneurial skill factories. FYI, many schools have had entrepreneurial programs for years (maybe even decades in some cases.) These aren't

An entire category of work has been left out of this discussion, Sales & Marketing. I would argue that sales people & marketers do not need to learn how to program in order to ply their trades. In fact, adding a technological laye

So if I am not logged in when I use GOOG search I won't have the tailored results, correct? If that is the case, what are the privacy concerns? Will the results of my search still be "inferior"?

I was thinking just the same thing. This would make a great movie. This story is similar (in my view at least) to the spy/master thief movies from the '70's where they showed the audience how the spy/thief went about accomplishing their o

"Google hires the best lawyers and they fight like bulldogs. Polite bulldogs. But they don't just roll over..." That statement struck me. It's interesting how often people confuse being polite with being a push over.

The old content producers are very much in bed with the government. Radley Balko wrote about instances where RIAA (or MPAA, can't remember) representatives were with federal agents during raids.

It sounded to me as though DNS filtering was off the table until the controversy dies down. I don't think the MPAA/RIAA is going anywhere. They want to control the technology & destroy it if necessary. This is a strategic retreat on

I believe it was the active watching and typing. Not sure why, but when I watch someone actually doing something it makes more sense to me. Also, watching very experienced people make minor mistakes removes some frustration from the learn

For me, not to knock your work, it was nice to see some working on it visually. I should be much more clear here, I thought your book was very helpful and your insisting that people actually type the code out [edit] is very helpful. I hav

Good post. I'm also going through the process of learning Python, but with no programming background. I found GOOG's class pretty straight forward (and so far a better resource than Learning Python the Hard Way, which I was using up to th

How is the closing of an unprofitable manufacturing facility exploitation? Cheap labor is not the only source of profit. Many companies employ only highly compensated individuals to create products & services that they sell profitably.

Mercantilism with Chinese characteristics maybe? The Chinese economy seems much more mercantilistic to me at this point in time than anything else.

The answer to this question is probably simpler than author's argument. We haven't met any aliens because there aren't any out there.

You are assuming that competition will only come from smaller entities. My comment was simplistic because each scenario is different and I was speaking in the general case. Standard Oil had lost a lot of market share by the time it was br

Start talking to people in the area you are interested in. Find the person is initiating the hiring process (not HR.) Find out what the need is and if you can fulfill that need. A resume should come towards the end of the interviewing pr

Monopolies rise up in the scenario you describe only in a static marketplace. Very few, if any, markets are static. There is constant change. Well healed competitors from other markets will enter a market where they see monopoly pricing

It could be that this is an attempt to consolidate that information and push it towards a mass audience. I haven't read any of the files, so I have no idea what they contain.

I managed a team in the Philippines remotely from the U.S. At the same time the rest of the firm was in NYC while I lived in Chicago. The remote experience was not exactly a positive one. Although remote teams and workers are a bigger pa

The author's attitude towards salaried work, let alone entrepreneurship, is awful. If that really is his attitude and I was his manager, he would be fired with in six months.

I saw that line as a distraction from the larger point the author was trying make. There are many capitalists who view this any act of censorship as foolhardy and destructive. Among laissez faire the whole IP debate is not at all settled.

This article was a bit odd. My b-school experience was almost the opposite. IRR was presented as inferior because it could put you in situations where you are giving up a lot of profit in dollar terms for a smaller dollar profit that had
