Yes, I was talking about an automated import. Having to copy-paste a link from email, or forward the email to the new network would be yet another barrier for a new user.

My comment was based on Mark's statements. The actual video is at [1]. Scroll forward to 1:26:30. I'll try to quote the relevant parts verbatim: Reporter: "Do you actually get your friends contact info as well. is any of the data in a forma

I think Facebook has designed this feature very carefully so as to make sure it doesn't make it easier for another platform to use this as a data import feature. First, the process to get your data is not "click a button and download" but "

Something else that puts this information in context is the number of public holidays and length of the workweek. Most white collar jobs in the U.S. are 5 days a week in the U.S. but 6 days a week in India, for example. Conversely, India ha

I think the real test of whether anarchy is preferable to stable government ('anti-competitive' or not), is whether Somalia is doing better than the United States. A perfectly fair comparison would require Somalia to be under anarchy for th

"Anything not forbidden is compulsory" only if you assume an infinitely long time horizon Without having more data points, it is hard to say whether the average life span of a planet in the Universe is long enough for multicellular life

I think the key is not falling prey to popular notions of what the word 'introvert' means. Very few people are introverts across the board. As you note, you yourself are communicative with people who share similar interests. What may not be

Is FBI the agency tasked with investigating allegations of anti-competitive behavior? Interesting. This is the last thing the valley needed though.

Their current faq states that they don't deliver sms internationally. http://www.twilio.com/faq/international Based on that I presume they switched off the feature globally and not just for you. Correct? That doesn't mitigate your complai

Upon reconsideration, yes this was bad advice. When I read he is on a "work visa" and in a bad situation due to job transfer problems, I automatically assumed he was dealing with the worst kind of employers waiting to exploit him. Clearly t

I manage people now. I don't care if the general counsel of my company restricts me, if I have to lay off half my team (or even one person) that worked with/for me for years, I would find a way of explaining the situation, taking blame (whe

Great list of additions to the post. I just wanted to add that the one mistake managers are most likely to make is not laying off your direct reports yourself. There is nothing more cowardly than handing off the task of severing a relations

When you say "by way of Bangalore", do they have their call center in Bangalore? /just curious how many taxi dispatch services do this.

Someone's got to be better than Jobs at negotiating. Most likely, it's not me, but I'd give it a shot ;)

I am not sure about that. If you are a golfer and you have an opportunity to play with Tiger Woods, would you let it go? The mitigating factor is that you may be betting your life on it, still, I wouldn't avoid it just because it's Jobs. Ma

I think the paper itself is a challenge to carbon dating. The question is whether the resultant inaccuracies in carbon dating would invalidate the theory of evolution. Whether or not they do (and it seems obvious to me that they don't), cre

What matters is not how much revenue you generated over time in the past, but how much you are generating right now and what the expectation is of future revenues . If you get down to just numbers, the 'standard' way of valuing any enter

Sure, but it appears this is new evidence to support those claims? Or is this an old discovery that just 'went mainstream'?

Yes, the green card process sucks.

by ajju 16y ago
I agree that the green card process is quite ridiculous. The inability to change jobs while you are in it and in many cases, inability to even get promoted are two of the most ridiculous policies I have ever seen.

That's unconscionable (what the manager did). I do think a bit of it is NY culture, but a lot of it is probably the belief that "driving hard" leads to more productivity which is near Universal, and probably more prevalent amongst people wh

I think the fact that your bad experiences with managers have inspired you to work hard on becoming a good manager is commendable. Fight the good fight!
