Hey, you're not Steve Jobs, are you? First, aspire to be a great engineer. Ninjas are for turtles and Rockstar is caffeinated sugar water. Second, design and implement software. Write programs in areas that interest you. Then iterate and d

Does it follow that happiness and life satisfaction should be adjusted for inflation? My interpretation of the findings: High incomes typically demand more time away from people and health-inducing activities (e.g., more time spent at the o

I'm thankful that they shared their analysis. Does it really detract from their work that they used Excel to graph it?

That's fantastic news. From hobby project to this. It makes me have second thoughts about my AppleTV order.

Beware the blanket assumption of 'gridlock is good". Gridlock in DC is good when it meant the rate of damage done is scaled back. It's not good when it means hard choices (spending reductions) aren't made. I read 'gridlock' as more of th

Would you elaborate on how Swedes save and invest? I'm curious about behaviors of investors and savers in economies that don't seem to be on the brink of death.

These SJ responses to email seem to be passing the Turing test (for now). I've thought about how many are automated one-liners, like this one, based on some context-aware text processing algorithms.

I did. Honestly, there was not much of a difference in service for me. Both services are top-notch.

Ok, my experience is that my own lone-founder startup failed a couple of years ago in very large part because I didn't do the things that I claim are missing. I read the post, identified red flags that I failed at finding, and then posted t

I don't think it was a flippant put-down. Nor was I being uncivil or mean-spirited. I was being frank and straightforward. I was telling him exactly what he would hear from someone in the real world if he were to pitch it. If he can't handl

Big whoop. This kind of post pops up every few days. No business plan. No market analysis. No real idea of who will use your shopping service and why. No description of value, benefits, and features. Reads like wishful thinking and dreams o

The idea has potential, and it's certainly worth experimenting with while the opportunity is there. This will not be the last oil spill. If BP, DOE, and MMS were smart, they would slip these guys a few hundred thousand to a couple of mill

It's more likely underpaid raters at Moody's and S&P being intimidated by overpaid traders at Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. I'm reading "The Big Short" (highly recommended), and it puts all of this and the current GS hearings in the
