Dear Uber, I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a company that was founded on the principle of giving their customers the experience of being a baller. I only wanted a consistent and yes boring, non-baller experience. I'll

Thank you for making it clear why this practice is bad corporate practice for those who are not as moral in their perspective. Uber seems hell bent on becoming the only game in town and then raping their customers during peak periods.

Napoleon Bonaparte believed there was a star in the sky that was dedicated to him. Men seem to have a higher opinion of themselves and are more willing to invest in their sometimes farfetched ideas. Some of those farfetched ideas have turne

I'm changing my service today: two lines at half the cost of Verizon. I have to support companies when they reach out like this. This is also why I quit Facebook. They don't listen to their users and I was tired of being a product

I have spent the past two years learning this lesson. It's so much more work to maintain a project that was not put together correctly in the beginning.

This is innovative, but sure to be cost-prohibitive. I hope they can find a way to may it something that is more than a conversation starter for the rich because it is really cool.

From Yale News: "the neural networks in the brains of the middle-aged and elderly have weaker connections and fire less robustly than in youthful ones." http://news.yale.edu/2011/07/27/yale-researche

There is an age bias, but it's a natural result of young founders having more disposable time and energy. They can also keep trying to be successful for more years as they have more years to work with. If you look at the most successfu

PG has a lot of integrity, something that warrants protecting, but this is not that big of a deal. Nobody will remember it in a few weeks and The Information probably snagged as many new subs as they lost because of the publicity. I highly

Generalizations like this make everyone in the country seem like lemmings. That must be the same reason why the world sends its best and brightest to America to be educated. The second fly in your ointment is that you assume the source to b

Every manager has their on and off days. On their off days, programmers are an easy target to displace aggression. The unfortunate truth of human nature is that it is rare where you find a situation where aggression is not displaced. The pi

As someone who hires developers, it would be great to see a link to a resume. It often takes a lot of digging to find out what kind of experience a developer has from their website.

I love this post. I work with engineers on a daily basis and the one thing I find so foreign is an unhealthy attachment to perfection, as if such a thing existed. The easy thing to do is deride someone. The hard thing is to reach out. Nice

At one point in the video he seemed to be looking at the camera, saying perhaps, thanks for being an awesome dad. BTW, I think the reason why there's so much talk about entertainment in the comments is because people feel guilty for pu

I lived in SF for four years and I loved it, but the one thing that always bothered me was the smug sense by some people of how great they are compared to the rest of the world just because they live in San Francisco.

That's hilarious. Not to knock the phone, which may or may not be quite good, but I was also more interested in the things on the desk than the phone. Who's the person who said, let's put the apple in there? I'd like to

I'm based in Santa Monica. If you're in the area and I'll buy you lunch, give you a pep talk and help get you back on your feet in any way I can.

Keep your head up and don't be afraid to reach out to this community or others for help. All is not lost and you are no different than anyone here, though you may have over-extended yourself. Beating yourself up will not help you or yo

I find it interesting that the author of the article mentions Malcolm Gladwell, who has been accused of stretching reality (scientific studies) to fit his theories. It appears that author is taking a scientific approach, but the argument wo

Did a user ask for your policy in this area? It's true, a lot of startups go out of business and it's a good, honorable intent you have. But sometimes sales is the correct solution, especially when there is time and effort involve

Do you actually believe suicide can be caused by someone playing dress up? Your post demonstrates that you have no firm opinion on the matter and that you are "covering all the bases" as opposed to saying something meaningful base

The same goes for software design as far as I can tell. But no amount of effort can make up for a deep well of imagination.

There are a lot of people out there that didn't and don't fit into the classroom learning model. Stanley Kubrick was a truant. Ansel Adams was pulled out of school at an early age because he was "hyperactive." Steve Jobs dropped out of coll

Thanks for the great suggestions. After some searching, I went with an indoor outdoor remote controlled helicopter and the message, "thanks for helping get Lumeo off the ground."
