If you are a co-founder and stayed with a company for five years before exit, wouldn't you qualify for this no-tax clause?

Well, personally I believe the higher prices are well worth the cost. Someone I know sums it up best: "Macs cost more only if you value your time at zero". But I agree with your call for specifics. For eg 4 GB DD3 Ram for Macs at Apple is $

Put another way, there is incentive to be honest and accurate in your advertising unless you think of yourself as very similar to a used-car salesman or someone who regularly lies on online dating sites.

If you are selling anything you want to do repeat business on, lying will make it much harder if not impossible. The best product managers and salespeople I know will advocate the hell out of their products but will not lie. I have seen cus

Only Bertie Wilberforce Wooster could give such an awesome and useful response! </Obscure? Wodehouse reference> This is awesome. I might be in the bay area some time soon myself (but probably not coinciding with @rjurney, sadly) and

There are a lot of interesting places to visit in the valley but I am not sure you'll be able to get a snapshot of the valley advantage in a few days. The valley advantage is more about the connections you build in the course of living and

Sure, but this is still an improvement over the previous situation, for me anyway.

This is not entirely stupid. My biggest pet peeve is people who carry on what should be IM conversations on twitter. Eg @jack are you read yet?. @jill No doing hair. @jack hurry up!. @jill shut up! etc. Most such conversational tweets begin

Alertfox is great. I think their basic service is free. I got a free pro account via TechCrunch when they launched.

You are going to carry around an acorn like device for your iphone so you can swipe your buddy's credit card after you lend him money? And if he has his credit card why wouldn't he just pay for his tickets using the card? I don't think this

Anyone know more about the author Erik Naggum? I have run into seen some old posts from him on the Python list and now this. A simple Google search reveals he is an academic/writer from Norway but not much more.

IBM pays a bonus for and often promotes engineers based on the number of patents they file. The natural result is a very large number of patents, often of dubious value, that may never be implemented. Having said that, I bet my colleagues a

You're right, but the solution is to fix the laws so that they are applicable to the Internet age. If the OP is right, this law would have the effect of removing the "beyond a reasonable doubt" clause, at least for these types of alleged cr

The worst part is, with time, you get used to the large portions. The "finish all the food on your plate" habit from childhood turns against you.

Seems like there was almost no fact checking done on that article. They have now misdescribed 2/2 incubators I know about. The other one is Georgia Tech's Venturelab which funded us: http://www.gtei2.com/2009/05/a-new-take-on-incubators.ht

My dad just bought a Kindle 2 with his Indian credit card and Indian billing address (although he used my Amazon account and shipped it to my American address)

Yes.IIRC even the Kindle 1 had search.

So does Kindle 1. For me the Kindle 2's killer feature is the text to voice.

Would you agree that anti-Israel opinions are not anti-Semitic opinions any more than anti-Pakistan opinions are anti-Islam opinions?

No I am not. Actually the idea of giving equity in exchange for a service still bothers me (like the ad on HN the other day for an apartment for rent in exchange for equity) but I have learnt the credibility that one earns from having a gre

All Indiatimes articles are essentially trolling attempts to generate page views - they divide a fluff piece into 10 parts and add tangentially related photos to each. This seems to be a universal problem with Indian news websites (Rediff.c

The main difference is how closely linked the world economies are now than they were in the 70s. Additionally, CDOs made it nearly impossible to separate the subprime mortgages from the prime ones or even performing mortgates from non perfo
