I am starting to wonder if I'm getting old in tech years as well, and I'm just 27. It may be a draw for people at an earlier stage in life when being affirmed/noticed/accepted by a group of friends is really important to

Most of us can't really afford to work the idealistic "Not in it for the money" career for long, and every startup has to rethink this mentality at some point in its life. It's better to be realistic early on instead of

Isn't exploitation based on the idea that you're manipulating some part of the system to pay someone less than they're worth? If maids are typically worth $Y and you pay the maid $Y, that seems fair to me.

Bomb threats happened quite regularly where I went to school, probably 3 or 4 in my 4 years there. None of them were real, but they always got a huge response and shut down buildings. Professors just started giving out exams in a different

The whole idea of bringing people together for more interaction can easily be abused. As a dev at a startup, we just sit at a big table (well, technically 6 desks pushed together). While we have had some great discussions that improved our

It could be that it was a personal acquisition because Amazon isn't making a much of a net profit, and buying the Washington Post would cause Amazon stock prices to tank.

This is probably something I should already know, but how do you read a chart like this?

I like how they replicate the jiggle of belly fat. Quite fitting! But in all honesty, that's a pretty slick UI.

How do you regain trust in any relationship? Usually it's a combination of time and repeated demonstration of truthfulness. Right now, no one knows what happened behind closed doors, and the suspicion is still high.

The trust is gone. They shouldn't have waited until they were caught red-handed to come up with some numbers. Doesn't even matter if it's correct now. No one will believe them.

I really wish they would weigh geographic location into their stats. I live in TN where around half that $99k average wage is the norm for CS grads, and that's considered a good salary. Cost of living is much lower here than in Silicon Vall

This is exactly what I did. I think to be really beneficial to a startup, you need to have at least a little experience in the industry. Big corporations are a good place to learn the ropes, since they usually have lots people to cover for

I guess what confuses me with this stuff is that while we consider throwing out all claims of life on Mars due to a possible rover equipment exposure to non-sterile air, it's okay to assume that a meteorite laying around in the dirt is a sa

Cool idea, but I can't help but wonder about the whole movement around pushing people toward management or leadership. Sure, it's great to find those of us who are naturally talented in that area. However, in a lot of the big companies I'm

I've worried about this. While we can sift through hundred-year-old photos of our great grandparents, what will our great grandchildren sift through a hundred years from now? We generate more photos and written word by orders of magnitude,

Banks use your money for interest and loans (or at least a percentage) and you get "free" money in the form of credit cards and interest. Facebook uses your data for ads in exchange for "free" services. You can always opt out if you don't l
