To some extent yes, but advances have got to the point that spatial separation isn't nearly the handicap it used to be. Take Apple manufacturing for instance. They hardly ever carry an excess inventory.

It looks like a great collection of experiences and stories. I also latched onto the Lean Startup genre and didn't immediately understand the programmer/web architecture distinction. Also, in the subtitle blurb you say, "Startup Founders Op

This could have been boiled down to: People don't spend very much time reading job abs. They focus on title, company, and salary. Additionally, companies could be clearer in their descriptions. This sounds like common sense, but throw a hea

They're hardly free in this model. That's one of main points in the article. The creator of said MOOC charges a licensing fee for their usage. The smaller institutions see this as a slap in the face as they're then essentially expected to g

Great example of the old adage: you'll never know if you don't try. Interesting title as it's slightly misleading at first, but ultimately truthful.

This is just the growing pains of two extremes that will ultimately best function in some form of compromise. All too often the argument is framed as "replace professors" etc, but it doesn't have to be so binary.

It's a slippery slope, but I don't think they're directly claiming the cause of sexism. Instead, the point they're claiming is: "Women descended from plough-users are less likely to work outside the home, to be elected to parliament or to r

I applaud him for going through with it. In the end though, it seems that he fell victim to the same flaws as before. The internet isn't the enabler, but it definitely helps things scale.

Interesting point. Are we wanting the phone (i.e. the manufacturer) to brick the device when it's been perceived as stolen? I had always thought of cellphones like bikes and assumed that there'd always be some inevitable amount of theft, bu

A thousand times this. Yeah a great chair helps, but all too often people throw posture and simple stretches/breaks out the window.

Great point to expose some of the challenges you may face working in any job burdened by an institution, but I don't think this is the best anecdotal evidence. Also, in the roughly 5 years since this was written, there have been numerous ef

I was coming to say the same thing. I appreciated that he made the statement before the vote though. Note that it appeared to matter.

That may have been true a couple years ago, but they are rapidly expanding. They now include calculus and diff eq with plans to go beyond. They're even researching med school related content for the future. That being said, I wouldn't take

Yeah. That's how I read it. They're just making it easier to use on their own devices.

Definitely, but if it's common knowledge, will it still have the same ability? I would imagine people would adapt and find an alternative method.

I think it boils down to critical mass. There are more and more people with an increase of quality. In addition, the overall community aspect developed by remote students has really taken off. I don't think you can look at it so much as "ho

We're a long ways from that point, but you're right. There's currently a "rush" on getting educational materials as content. I think it'll take a couple more years to really polish up the content delivery strategies, but it's rapidly develo

You may say you're abandoning it, but you really can't. As smoyer said, it's just too beneficial when you ssh into a box and may not have access to the fancy editor that you have customized on your own setup. It and emacs are a well oiled t

I think you partially answered your question, but I think some of it has to do w/ Facebook's growth overall. At the time of that article, I think company's offering the service preyed on an assumed barrier to entry. Over the past few years,

A great candid story of his experience going viral. Could be a little more concise, but still congrats to the guy for stepping up to the plate and crushing it out of the park. So what if it wasn't a technical masterpiece. If he was only int

That's exactly it. The exposures were much longer then than now. It's also the same reason the bodies of water have the rainbow effect on their surfaces.

Agree with the others -- solid piece. I get asked about SEO all the time, and I think this is the best explanation while remaining concise I've seen of late. Will definitely recommend this to people before I attempt to explain things.

Exactly. To interpret that as a "now I have more time to deal with other things" motive fails to acknowledge the fact that Jobs was one of the most prolific critics of subtle details. If he truly had more important things to care about than

Is there any matching algorithm? As presented, and it may be the case, it just seems like a large match up between companies. Reading the front page, it just says the person will be "new," nothing about the quality of the match.

True. I think there may be two camps though. It depends on if you want to learn and be able to master the fundamental theories that ground everything or have a more pragmatic approach where you accomplish things using tools you doesn't ful

That's a nice list to help people when brainstorming. I wasn't necessarily implying that the project had to be something new or different, or even specific to the user. A lot of people learn rails or django by making some microblogging twit

I doubt it's the main driving force, but the revelation that the new Kindles are ad-supported. It could be consumers have more faith in the Nexus 7 overtaking the Kindle Fire going forward. And at the same time, excitement for Amazon's new

Agreed. A lot of the points seem to be stressed from the point of explaining how important what he does is. Bring in the UX designer before you’ve attempted any UI work. I can’t tell you how many times my clients have said “I wish I’d brou
