"Bad things don't happen to good people, and good people don't do bad things or associate with bad people." Evidence please . . . what a one-dimensional statement. It turns out life isn't binary.

I don't get any indication the authors wanted to paint the guy as innocent in any part of the article. I think the point of the article is "does the punishment fit the crime?". No one is saying the guys isn't responsible, but how responsib

The whole point of those rights is to avoid massive loss of life and limb in the long run. I think there's a reason the us has been relatively stable over a long period of time, and it has everything to do with civil rights that serve as an

Mob-mentality. Unfortunately naturally occurs whenever a group gets to be about the size of a mob.

well said. folks tend to forget that there's no entity such as a 'market' that you can deal with, there are only people, just like you with strengths and weaknesses, nothing more.

oh, then it must be real. kind of like kevin rose 'making' $60MM in 18 months. http://www.businessweek.com/stories/2006-08-13/cover-image-h... unreal, do people still fall for this bullshit?

instead of focusing on groups why not focus on individuals. women as a group maybe have specific characteristics, but when was the last time you had to deal with women as a group? you deal with individuals, so why not focus on individuals?

the question was "How do we know LivingSocial is the truthful one?" which is different than "how do I know PrivCo is the one being dishonest?".

by anon808 14y ago
Just because privco is full of shit, doesn't mean livingsocial isn't in trouble. The sad truth is that this down round will hurt the employees more than they know, or are being told. Down rounds aren't made under the same terms as up rounds

yup, good point but i'm not sure sergey would be encouraging google employees to quit google and take up an open source project as readily as he's calling politicians to do so. my comment is a little trolly, just find it peculiar that a pe

call it what it is. isn't that what a good domain model is all about. - if you have a 'real life unit' call them a person - if you have an organization, call it an organization (although organization's are made up of people and ultimately i

Users. Sounds like a bunch of junkies or gigolos, doesn't it? The people who visit web sites aren't "users," click-throughs, hits, numbers on a spreadsheet, or some other form of dehumanizing jargon. They're your husband, your mom, your fri

I think you missed his main point. His main point: Wall Street doesn’t know what business it is in. Wall Street has nothing to do with creating capital for businesses, its original goal. He's saying wall street should have an incentive to c

A very large chunk of his articles are negative http://www.aarongreenspan.com/writing/index.html Not saying they aren't all true, I'm sure they are. Why focus on the negativity? Recognize it and move beyond.

Features are a quantitative measure, until we invent some qualitative measures, these comparisons are worthless.

It's not about me, it's about accepting a shady company as a success so long as they accomplish their goal of making cash. Im making the case that there's more to a successful company than just making cash. We shouldnt be impressed simply b

It's a public board and I'm responding to a public comment. What I'm asking is why you or anyone care that they're making shit loads of money, why is that so impressive, esp if you hate them? I'm in the thread to challenge folks to think be

I don't hate zynga, I just think they're irrelevant, they add no value, they move nothing forward, they are a wealth redistribution scheme. What they do, doesn't 'work' in my book, so I don't care. so what's the point of your original post

by anon808 14y ago
your character is relevant because it's tied to how you choose to define what 'works'. i agree with your other comment making cash = making cash. but thats not what you said, you said works, which implies your only definition of working is

by anon808 14y ago
i got that. but i don't call that something that 'works'. my point is that making cash isn't the only condition that needs to be met for something to 'work'. i take issue with his use of 'it works'.
