I feel like articles sometimes elicit a certain "no shit" reaction, but then don't really dig in to solutions. Specifically around the mechanism of the performance review, this piece is pretty practical for framing thinking a

Perhaps the most fascinating part (to me at least) in the article was his second step - he knowingly and purposefully created a vaporware product and took orders for it. He refunded the money from the customers, but used this as a validati

This isn't a guide on how to be a leader, this is a guide for building version 0 of a team and trivializes a great deal of the complexity that goes in to being an effective leader. It's a great content marketing piece though, and

I think shortcuts are great for extending the reach of the functionality for Siri, but the main reason I avoid using Siri has nothing to do with "what" Siri can accomplish, but rather that it's just so stinking slow and unres

How about an iTunes experience that doesn't make me want to jump off a bridge. I can't name a single more consistently infuriating piece of software to interact with. It's been horrible as long as it has existed, without fai

Jason Calacanis makes comments about this from time to time on his podcast. There's some pretty nontrivial problems with the whole NIMBY stuff, and it seems like it will likely have to involve some seriously legislation that I think m

This was my first thought as well - it seems like a thought out risk mitigation strategy that plays well from a PR perspective. It's a savvy move, and to your point likely escapes the typical drivers awareness. So at what point does r

I feel like CMU has been on a tear on HN lately. It feels like there's an incredible amount of momentum around them, from Robotics to Computer Vision to AI/ML. It feels like each thing that comes out lately is even more impressi

Garbage clickbait. It's literally still in Google's code of conduct policy on Alphabet's website and this trashcan article owns up to it. https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html

We don't whiteboard at my company, as we favor a take home technical exercise and debrief/walkthrough format for interviewing our engineers. That being said, I'm super turned off by the incessant whining from the community ab

TLDR: George Soros used to hold stock, sold the stock, now he holds Tesla bonds. This is just a vapid hype article with little meat. There's no mystery billionaire here, just a guy who has been close to the company for a very long tim

This to me seems like a reaction to the continued traction experienced by Sketch, InVision, et al? Now that UX and design has really extended beyond the core vision of Photoshop, this seems like a reactionary move - but perhaps a welcomed o

Their CEO did an interesting interview a while back on This Week In Startups. As I recall he seemed to reflect this serene confidence in their ability to scale and had a keen eye for the unit economics... but that being said the service jus

Given the proliferation of ApplePay, the revenue streams from things bought or transacted over the iTunes store, and it's massive cash stores, at which point does Apple start to look like an actual bank as it begins to underwrite credi

Thanks, somehow I missed that, this makes much more sense but then raises some fundamental questions regarding the potential pigeon holing of UBI as a tool whose efficacy is primarily shaped by the state of the economy in which it is deploy

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly - maybe I'm missing something significant here, but it says they're giving people 75 cents per day per person? How is ~273 buck a year going to provide any kind of valid m

Not sure if I'm in to equating charity with failure or mistakes, but I suppose it's better than a complete lack of charity.

They mean to convey emotionality rather than anything material was my take. I didn't see anything about a strategy or resource redirection, but rather they simply end something that wasn't a great look for them PR wise, and this

An alternative title would be "How do the basic tools for stringing together an MVP for a software product cost?". The things covered in this content are only relevant to a very specific niche, and brutally misrepresent the wild a

An oil crisis from where? Our reliance on foreign oil has diminished considerably, we would need an oil crisis domestically for this to even be on the table, and that seems an even further reach than an international one. https:/&#x2F

This is an incredibly well spun tale of reducing cost and restructuring a revenue producing, albeit a super cash burning, business into a more efficient one. This post is a glorified PR humblebrag, and the truth of the matter is that if the

One look at the content on the "Discovery" page and you instantly understand the platform's weakness. No one is making genuine, useful, compelling content. It's almost exclusively hyper-vapid garbage.
