I mean but one has to expect this. In what sane world is a wizard and a fighter going to be equivalent? I think the main thing as pointed out is that in seeking balance a lot of 'fun' or 'interesting' elements have to be

Ehhh... I mean its all malarky till enough experiments have been done to move it into the realm of likelihood.

Seems to me that only those who are in the start up culture echo chamber could hold this view. Its just not realistic that the vast majority of talents people are not joining your start up because they have their own start up. The numbers d

I think his point is that if you were the type of developer who uses an IDE, you are willing to accept the slow start up time. You clearly are not willing to deal with that, and as such are not ever going to be happy. Some tools take a whil

I am just pointing out that as a stock holder if the only value of buying AMAZON stock is that you expect that someone else down the line is going to pay you more to buy it than you paid for it then thats similar to how a Ponzi scheme works

by apalmer 12y ago
Absolutely understand what you are saying. But isn't that by definition a hot potato Ponzi scheme? I mean there are large monster e-commerce giants in other nations, it is a very real possibility that Amazon will have to battle with so

I dont think startup CEOs have any requirement to do this type of thing. On the other hand I think there is a powerful reality distortion field around start ups. Its literally more work than at bigco, for about 70% of the salary, for a lott

yeah exactly MS gave up in silverlight however they will continue to provide security fixes for it probably for the next decade

by apalmer 12y ago
'Company-backed' is a very nebulous term. If Microsoft was backing Angular I would have every confidence that it would be supported at least for security fixes for the next 10 years even if microsoft had to add a whole compatibili

Can you really? Incompleteness doesn't necessarily say this. It makes certain statements about certain types of contradictions in certain types of systems. There is still a lot of work left to be done before you can apply it here. You

The answer as to when can we exclude certain groups from the discussion is never. If Sheldrake or whoever makes a valid point then it is what it is.

by apalmer 12y ago
Its a relatively naive statement. What is 'before' and 'after' time is defining time in terms of time. While it does seem ridiculous to say something is 'before' time, it doesnt seem anywhere as ridiculous to s

Yes, this is a true statement. It is also pretty irrelevant to the issue at hand.

This doesnt really follow. There is no incentive for the business to pay more just because.

This is definitely a scheduling technology issue in that these types of scenarios wouldnt exist without the technology to up to the minute track store activity and optimize schedules based on rapidly fluctuating store activity. However the

Oddly enough these kinds of justifications are exactly what the aliens were doing in the story... just goes to show.

or you could just buy some of what they are selling... which is really the point, the public attention and goodwill created by giving this away, leads to sales and greater revenue than would be received if they just put a donate button up.

I really dont get whats supposed to be the benefit of this... saves you the seconds it would take to actually send a text of the word 'yo'?

the Google-Youtube, FB-Instagram and FB-Whatsapp are clearly not in the same category of merger & aquisition as MS & Nokia.

Thats making a lot of assumptions here. Honestly the opposite is just as likely to happen. If marketing has a better 'manager'/'lead'/'architect' and is offering better pay and more interesting work,

I think this post is closest aligned to my understanding of the situation. Literally marketing needs a lot of technical work done, they have enough funding and influence that they can hire their own technical staff instead of 'queuing&

Its always key to take these kind of 'indirect' causation in anthropological fields with a huge grain of salt. It might be true but it is not really 'science' if the hypothesis can't be tested quantitatively.

he just should not have used the word confidence in the headline. He used to word confidence to make a more interesting headline, instead of using another word to make a more informative headline.

basically this is saying the entire story is pretty much bunk. Its more than a significant omission, it invalidates the entire analysis presented.
295.
by apalmer 12y ago
Its more than that. This study does not isolate based on knowledge or know how as in 'people who actually know answer to an objective question'. This study isolates based on influence of 'social' stimulus.

I think the key missing element is a clear commercial driver. Say we found a fuel source on mars that was so energy rich it could undercut oil... then yeah that would lead to a radical revolution in human space exploration. What we have now

I am mostly of the same opinion as you are, but really what they are offering is an easy way to expose your data source as a service, and to provide a simple already established user interface over that data source. So it does have its plac

Ehh this isnt really rocket science. If you take someone who is specifically focused on their own benefit over that of the company, and you have that person run your company... they are going to make choices that benefit them more than your

Factually true, but as they created and own pretty much the entire market for $300 headphones, one has to concede they have the title of high end headphones... high end doesnt necessarily mean highest quality.

ehhh i understand where you are coming from, i mean honestly there are multiple existing Hip Hop Billionaires. They are the owners of the record labels, radio stations, etc. Dre is really 'just' the first hip hop artist to make a
