While I'm generally in favor of FOI, the public interest of disclosure needs to be weighed against the impact on both privacy and the integrity of the security vetting process (strong privacy encourages frank comments). In this case the ben

The reason why I generally dislike working at my big company (wonder if they'll see this!) simply boils down to a lack of challenge To me this encapsulates the problem we're talking about. The fact that you're coasting and not challenged

There is tons of HR documents that I researched, but in the end I found that the most important way to be genuinely flexible and family-friendly is to listen to your team and then think creatively about finding ways to fit with their needs

There seems to be an assumption that people (specifically women but same logic applies to men) can either be entrepreneurs or take care of young children, but not both. I believe that startups can provide the flexible environment that bigge

When's the last time you asked someone how their startup was doing to get a reply "not so good", founders are expected to be eternal optimists and this expectation can make it harder for those struggling or suffering to ask for help from t

That's the best way to look at it. All the talk of what is 'fair' misses the point - remuneration is not inherently fair, never has been. You can point to market forces or regulations or whatever, but there's no real and fair basis for most

However, I feel the need to point out that no one can get a 1% rate on eCommerce transactions from their bank or anyone else. I didn't mention 1% as idle guesswork, I have direct knowledge of several businesses paying close to 1% on onlin

We scale up pretty well. Everything that you get with a merchant account (correct statement text, money held in your name), you get with Stripe. Key scaling issue is pricing. 2.9% is fine for low volumes and no risk validation, but once y

He was rightly slammed by many for this, but the guy sounds like a dick to me. Irrelevant, and a logical falacy to boot: if Dawkins is wrong on one thing does not show he is wrong on other things.

This is akin to saying that human sexuality is wrong and harmful, or male competition is wrong and harmful. logical falacy: is != ought As scientists, we cannot make value judgements on these natural phenomena. The evolutionary explanat

I don't want that somebody starts taging me on some photos and then sharing these photos with others without me having chance to untag myself. If someone has photos of you and emails them to their friends you have no right nor expectation

They struggle to teach entrepreneurship for the same reason they struggle to teach leadership, teamwork, business management (no an MBA doesn't mean you'll be a good manager in a large business), etc. Taught courses can help in all the abov

Facebook is making you act like the authentic you all the time. If you are unwilling to stick to your principles because of what your friends will think, are they really your principles? I am authentic in front of my friends, but I certai

It all depends on the exact details of any contracts with the VC such as your shareholder agreement. Is there a drag-along right? What board representation does the VC have? Do you have the ability to call a shareholder meeting and get them

I think Nokia wants to be a major player in the WP7 ecosystem rather than a minor player in the Android ecosystem. In an Android/Apple 'duopoly' every hardware maker except Apple has basically the same OS/app offering and Nokia would be pla

It amazes me that this site has any users at all! There is no path from the home page to browse the content - its sign up or go away. I think very few people will sign up to a site without seeing its content, I know I won't! Quora marketing

The problem in all this is not with the concept of patents or copyright but that the way it works in practice is to enable the powerful to squash small innovators who are actually doing useful stuff. Exactly. I think very few people under

Nokia says they will still run symbian on entry level phones. Increasingly these will compete with cheap android phones like huawei ideos. Nokia's advantage will be battery life, but the android phones will have the features that consumers

Yes, this is confirmation of the demise of meego and qt (in the phone space at least), which is sad and disappointing. But Nokia is in a very different position to SGi and is doing this deal for different reasons. Nokia urgently needs a dec

What about Meego? If they actually gave it some resources, rather than treat it as an afterthought, it could be great. To date Symbian has sucked all the resources from Meego, but one of the clearest messages was finally admitting reality o

None of the first four urls I randomly tried slashdot, ibm, dell, ycombinator have AAAA records. IPv6 is not here and won't be for a long time. While v6 may be better in some circumstances, it is worse in others. I'll be keeping my offices

re point 2 - don't make a counter offer, get an offer from another bidder. That is the only way to push your price to the actual market value rather than just find the lowest offer you will accept.
