Simple - you can only approach SJC airport from the north, not the south. SJC, while super convenient (I live in the South Bay) isn't a premier airport and will never be. Half of it is old and needs remodeling. We need housing and dens

Completely un-scientific analysis; people don’t mind ad targeting if it’s relevant to them. Example - don’t show me ads for swim suits and beach umbrellas if I live in Montana. What people object to is the detailed, strange and onerous coll

Can post-2010 Google execute on anything "all the way" through? Is there some sort of institutional ADD?

When the pendulum swings very-left (as it will, American politics follow a tick-tock partisan pattern) I believe someone (AOC?) will crack down on "contractor" companies - they're not paying payroll taxes. Not a good thing.

I address that later in my comment... Is this a function of schooling? MBA programs? Corporatism?

Corruption my friend. Direct from a deployed friend's mouth: "When laser printers would run out of toner on base in Iraq, we wouldn't order more toner (we couldn't) - we'd order another entire printer and use the to

This is a great example in my opinion of the apathy we need to combat as technologists. Why did NO ONE in any meetings when designing this "feature" or process say anything? "This is wrong/greedy/will have blowback.

This is why the future of education is in the hands of educators - it will be less about where you go to school (Harvard) and more about WHO your professor was for a given topic. Think Seth Godin’s altMBA

I grew up in the East Bay, directly across from a regional park - Ardenwood Historic Farm. Used to see giant eucalyptus positively twitching alive with Monarchs. Haven't seen a single one this year since I've been visiting my moth

I know this will probably get buried here, but like - I want to try this. I was a huge fan of Quake 1 and 2. How the hell do I get started? (Note: I'm not a programmer, I'm a marketer. I know just enough PHP/JS to be stupidly

Agreed 100% - although I didn't like the normalization of a bug (BxR) not getting patched out.

I can't believe how far they've fallen. Take a look at the brilliance of the first Halo to the clusterfuck that is Destiny - I have such vivid memories of the pacing, art style, music that is Halo. All abandoned for a game complet
