The problem with job/salary surveys is that the people who respond tend to skew towards the more satisfied and higher paid range. That's why when I was in undergrad, all the jobs seemed so darn great - the companies sent the happiest, chir

I guess the keyword is "listen to" and not "agree with" or "follow". While most smart people are worth listening to, most may not be worth following (either because they're evil or narrowly focused or some other reason).

Quite an interesting read, but I think the reasoning is off because the author is comparing two types of games - one played face to face and one played online. As a chess amateur and someone who has played many tournaments both live and on

Employees of the companies you use have access to your info - that's my point.

And what would that accomplish? DBAs will still be able to look at all the data. Just like you give your cc to the waiter or your SSN to the DMV, nothing's truly private anymore. I think it should be expected that employees of a website (

I like Friedman, but enjoyed this article nonetheless. However, I had to stop reading when I got to the Columbus discovered America part.

This is expected advice from a father, as mine dispensed something similar as well. But those described are not friends, but merely partners. To me, friends are those who will be around during bad times as well as good. In other words, t

I'm surprised by the negative reactions to Chinese herbalists. I hope people realize good herbalists have mastered knowledge derived from THOUSANDS of years of trial and error (instead of a few months of clinical trials). It is also very

Chinese and Japanese are constructed via "strokes", which build into simple characters (like letters, if you will), which then constitute more sophisticated characters. Chinese characters are not pictograms, in the sense that every charact

Not sure how the first sentence leads to the second. Also, there are millions of people who like (love?) myspace, so obviously you're not their target audience. Although I don't like myspace either, I do appreciate that not everything on th

You have to also realize nowadays he's a VC and runs Ning. I believe, like Mark Cuban's blog, his first interest isn't to disseminate insights, but to server his business interests.

I personally think the reason a 'massive hit' needs a lot of money (and therefore VC) is for the hardware/bandwidth/infrastructure costs. Those costs have not come down per the proportions that software costs have. However, services such

Personal judgments aside, his current job just plainly seems undesirable to me (based on his description of it). That's not making a judgment on him or his past accomplishments.

I think this talk first presupposes that the audience would like a job like that, which is probably a stretch. His accomplishments notwithstanding, his current job seems pretty undesirable to me.

You don't see how perpetuating a class-based system can be harmful to society at large in the long run? Nepotism and corruption may be rampant, but that doesn't mean it's the way things ought to be.

As a Chinese American, I find reading posts like these analogous to hackers reading corporate explanations of what's "web 2.0". "The Chinese" are in fact pretty diverse, just like Americans. Though web usage is currently dominated by the y
