Fun little quiz but thought some of the questions got more confusing by trying to keep them as simple as possible. For instance, when it's third and short, selecting pass would allow you to rollout and look for a pass and keep the option f

Just wanted to throw out a huge congrats to Anthony and company for all the work you've done on the site. It's become my entire new music source over the past 4 years and I'm excited to see where it goes! Job well done, I'm still waiting f

I used to have ilictronix on my feed but it disappeared a while ago, moving the blog to heroku makes sense as to why. Will find and re-follow

Would be cool if they showed how much traffic was on the bridge, going across the bridge, or if there was an accident by flashing bright to those approaching the bridge so they could avoid it

I'm looking forward to the day when I can have a physical library at home and the exact same digital library on my Kindle wherever I go. I too think the bundle is a major step in the right direction

Great title. Seriously though what type of barriers do you think they could have put up? Exclusive deals?

Thanks Jason for the notes. I too highlight important bits and pieces that I read and type them up later. Having a cliff notes document on each book is useful if I ever need to go back and find some specific detail (I know this seems redu

Fantastic! Fractals are beautiful by themselves but when found in nature, they're just that much more amazing

Agreed, I enjoyed "Believe You Can Change" when it was posted on HN and was happy to find out this article was next in line in his "Raw Nerve" series. Thanks and can't wait for the next one

We've reached the point in scientific discoveries where you can't expect an apple falling on a scientist's head to eventually lead to an explanation (I know this story isn't true). The proposed theory is more complex and therefore requires

You're correct, Lyndon and Pete Rive are Musk's cousins. He has invested a considerable amount of money in SolarCity and oversees the board; both are indispensable as the former allowed SolarCity to scale (which was the main problem with lo

"The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives" http://www.amazon.com/The-Drunkards-Walk-Randomness-Rules/dp... was a great book that showed that not everything is under your control

I'm very grateful for Blake Masters taking the time to type up his essays on his class notes for the rest of the world that didn't get to sit in on this class. If he wants to get his name out there more with your typical 4 page/3 bullet po

Completely agree with his review of the course material. It's very informative but also dry. I find myself skipping through the videos since they just read over the slides and underline important topics mostly. It would be great if Course

Seems like Jamie Quint is following the Simon Sinek Why-How-What strategy. Why you should look at this job, how you'll do the job and what you'll get out of it. I agree that the ideal mix is a combo of the two, highlights at the top and Wh

Fascinating article, behavioral economics and decision choice are exploding and I'm interested in seeing how habit formation adds to them. I look forward to the author's book being released later this month

Elon Musk will be one of the most influential people in the world for the next 20-30 years, not just directly from his companies but also from others in the industries he's pushing. Let's not forget Elon is also Chairman of the Board for So

The Lean Startup model works because it's rooted in evolution. Mutations are made and tested and the weaker one dies off. Biology has been testing it for much longer than we have been creating businesses. We're starting to realize that you

Rather than 20 full-time jobs we need to fill them with 40 part-time jobs and then those 40 people work part-time on other interests (their own start up, works of passion, another job to bring in the money, etc.)

It's true the workplace is transitioning, just not as fast as the type of work being done. Everything is becoming more personalized, faster and more efficient. We (for the most part) don't expect to stay at a company for 20+ years or even

Of course. Descriptive theories still help identify things better than no theories at all, even if they are wrong. Because then you can at least cross one off the list

There have been lots of failures not only in the solar industry but in every industry, it doesn't mean we should stop trying. No one answer is the cure-all, but we'll never know its potentials until we fail and build on those lessons learn
