But did you see the bit about preferred investment shares? An "ok" return may be ok for the VC, but it could leave the founders and options-holding employees with very little (or nothing). Contrast this to a bootstrapped company.

Calling this a "form of oppression" is a bit silly. How are Brendan Eich's rights being denied here? How is Brendan being prevented from acting on his own beliefs? These two people decided that they don't want to associa

The attacker was posing as a PayPal employee, not the card owner. Of course, PayPal still needs better security, but posing as an employee of the same company is a classic social engineering exploit.

You seem to be suggesting that 2000sf is small, but to me that seems huge. I live in a 1200sf house in Minneapolis with my wife. When we move, we'll probably be looking at houses slightly larger (so we can fit a grand piano), but we de

It's not clear from the Wikipedia list if the language categories are mutually exclusive. For example, it seems quite likely that nearly everyone who speaks the Wu, Jin, and Min Nian Chinese family languages also speaks Mandarin. I&#x2

Not only are they serious medical professionals now, but they have been for a while. Watch the British TV show Call the Midwife. Even back in the 50s midwives were well-trained specialized nurses who dealt with serious medical issues on a r

I'm a dev at a company and I pushed for us to have a staging environment _and_ QA. When I started at my current job, it was common practice to edit code in production, and there was no testing (automated, QA, anything). In our case, ha

Yes, I take all my health advice from newspaper articles summarizing single journal articles.

You can't really compare EC2 sans EBS to something like a dedicated server. Most apps need permanently available storage. Of course, if you don't need permanent storage (and your needs are bursty) than using EC2 is probably a hu

This should be fairly easy to price out, right? I suggest you start by simply comparing the cost of dedicated hosting-provided hardware. This is the middle ground between owning your own stuff and something like AWS. Pricing out the cost of

It's really not though. At least for me, I find that there's a balance between giving and receiving damage in the boss fights. While having higher vitality (more HP) lets you survive longer, unless you can also dish out a lot of d

I've noticed that there are a lot of startup ideas that fall into the general category of "if we can get businesses to adopt us and get users to adopt us then ... profit." I worked for a company called DoTheGood way back in 2

Did you read the article? They're talking about how AMC releases their content on iTunes, Amazon, and Netflix sooner than other networks. It's hardly exactly what HBO does.

Soylent is definitely suspect. The idea that human nutrition can be boiled down to a minimal list of ingredients that are the only things you should eat is nonsense. That said, there's no reason to think this article is any better. H

I'm outraged that people get paid at all for this sort of thing. Why should an artist be paid repeatedly for doing one piece of work? That's madness. Artists should be paid to create art. Once it's done, why you should get

Personally, I'd find these questions a lot more palatable if they'd change the format a little. Instead of asking "how many gas stations are there in Manhattan" why not ask "what steps would you take to estimate how

I've had several jobs, including my current one, where I worked 4 days a week. I take every single Friday off, and I don't work extra hours the other days. I think that whatever it takes to make a high salary is also what it takes to negoti

There are a number of tools in Perl that will scan your code base and automatically generate a dependency list based on what it finds. The one I use is called Dist::Zilla ( http://dzil.org/ ), and it automates the entire packaging and libra

Actually, the civilized world has version numbers in the source too: use Moose 2.08; That's valid Perl and will blow up if you have Moose 1.02 installed. Of course, it'd be even better if you could be more specific than just "2.08

The only relevant thing in that link is dual-licensed software. But looking at binpress it seems like much of the software there is only available under a proprietary license. The license generator can easily be configured to generate a pro

So you've redefined a term that already has a well defined meaning to mean something totally different. Just because I can look at the source of something does not mean it's open source. If it doesn't have an open source license it's just p

It's hardly surprising that there's a huge burst of growth when a language and its package repository first takes off. I'm sure if we looked at the 4 year periods where each of Perl, Python, and Ruby were hitting their stride we'd see simil

This is mildly annoying for composers, but it doesn't really matter for the players. They play the notes they see on the page. I suppose if they have perfect pitch it might be a bit jarring.

Citation very much needed, since all the scientific evidence says this is not true.
