I get the sentiment, but this type of title worship is precisely what he's preaching against (when you're the CEO, you can do whatever).

To carry your analogy further, those who salvage the ship gets the treasure. More specifically, what I mean is that it takes different skills/tolerance to steer a ship versus salvaging one. If you are similar to those who are leaving Yahoo,

Could I trouble someone to paste the text? I haven't figured out how to navigate the Great Firewall of China yet, and for some reason, I can't get to seth godin's site. Thanks in advance.

#1 isn't any different from hiring an employee who leaves. #2 isn't any different from hiring an incompetent employee who leaves. I'm working from Beijing with some seriously cool Rails hackers. They read all the English blogs, articles, b

You should try working from China. I'm currently based out of Beijing working US hours (8pm-5am). All you need is broadband and a bed.

This comment reminds me of the time I read an article about some triviality of women. The article was accompanied by a photo, with the caption "A woman shopping in grocery store". The article had nothing to do with shopping or groceries.

This is probably the first time I've ever seen anyone reference my birth-city in a blog post or comment (Urumqi). And I can confirm it's not a startup or intellectual hub, but the Uyghur lamb-kabobs are killer.

This is probably true up to a certain point - the executive ranks. The highest ranking "engineers" probably do more "business" stuff than code and are basically executives, except in name.

Most Asian Americans I know take their "American" names very seriously, as it's their legal, social, and personal identity. Growing up Asian in the US, I hated when kids always asked me for my "real" name. I have a Chinese name, as well as

Just wondering, are any of you female that are commenting on this? It just reminds me of the male pundits sitting around debating abortion (assuming yall're male).

Right on. What is "Africa" and an "African"? Countries and Continents are social constructs meant to organize people into groups.

I have a thin mac keyboard. If you want to stare at your keyboard all day, it's mind-blowing awesome. For typing and coding, not so much.

Pretty good bounce rates for all the responses so far. I wonder if those with high bounce rates are hesitant to share.

There are lots of services that teach Mandarin to English speakers. I think there could be better ones, but it's still a growing space. On a separate note, some people would consider "chink" to be derogatory, super or not.

It also depends on what type of bar/website you want to build. Is it just a "cool" place, or is it a place for regulars to hang out at? I love going to the local dive bar to see familiar faces and share drinks with the neighbors. HN is simi

Instead of outright banning, can we do something like this: 1. maintain a list of controversial sites 2. every time someone attempts to submit a link from that list, s/he'll get a warning message stating that should the moderators find this

One easy way for them to make money is to charge some nominal fee (say $15/yr) for premium services or ad-free experience. I don't use facebook myself, but most of my friends do, and most of them would gladly pay a small fee to just keep us

I have a fairly young sister. Just a few years ago, she was absolutely obsessed with pokemon. The only way we could get her to do math was with pokemon flashcards. To her and her friends, pokemon was their life. Note: she's since outgrown i

I think it would depend on the attitude of the person dispensing the cash. If it was in good natured fun, I can see it being great. If it's meant as a serious bonus/reward, I can see it backfiring. Like I said before, I agree w/ the genera

Walk around handing out $100 bills? That is not how I would want to be appreciated, as an employee. It would make me feel even more of a mental prostitute. If I loved my job and was being compensated fairly, how would a few hundred bucks he

Shouldn't there always be a balance between what people want and what they need? (ex. hard drugs, suicide, ajax)
