Viewing a document on Yammer? That’s Crocodoc. Looking at a resume in Linkedin Recruiter? Crocodoc again. Reviewing an assignment on Edmodo? Crocodoc. Getting directions from Siri? Not Crocodoc. But you get the point. That statement is fu

I think that a lot has to do with the writers and readers of those articles having inherent biases that cause them to associate small and pretty with good solutions. I happen to fall into that camp and much prefer nicely designed Saas produ

Thanks for the advice- I'll give that a try. I'm kind of pissed that I didn't think to do that in the first place.

The timing of this is interesting to me because I recently registered a new domain, opted to leave my contact info public, and have since received an unending barrage of spam emails that I have to attribute to the WHOIS record due to the ti

Serious question: does anybody know how English alphabet ordering originated? It seems that the order is completely arbitrary, but interestingly has never been changed because it works for teaching and is universally understood. I think tha

Typically expulsion requires a review and vote by the county school board (at least that's how it works where I grew up). My dad was on the school board and had to review a few ridiculous cases like a kid who brought a pocket knife, or anot

This is really the availability heuristic (basically that the information that is most readily available seems most accurate or likely to be true). When smart people explain complex subjects clearly and confidently we have the tendency to s

I'll admit that I am no IP expert but I'm told that winning an IP suit is impossibly difficult and extremely expensive. To pursue it, you really better believe that you have a tremendous amount of upside (ie, deep pockets on the other side)

What does that have to do with the quality of the coder though? I've worked alongside developers young and old (as I suspect most here have) and I see no relationship whatsoever between age and effectiveness. If anything, the older develope

If you think that the world is basically a meritocracy, as I do, then seeing successful incompetents is actually very encouraging. Have you ever seen a startup with the world's stupidest idea raise million of dollars? Well if you have an a

Moreover, poverty is far more pervasive in DC than in the rest of the country, and, crime rates in DC vary, depending on the type of crime, generally between two and five times the national average. From somebody who lives in D.C. now and

Interesting read, but I have to disagree with one of the tenets of the article. At one point he suggests that people should almost inevitably relocate at some point to a less-expensive area of the country in order to save for retirement. We

That's all well and good but you sound a bit defensive. No need to be so touchy. I'm just wondering how you can speak to the value of something you've never experienced. Your opinion on this matter is about as useful as mine about building

The value of the App.net from a developer perspective is that it’s an out-of-the-box social network, platform, and API that allows developers to quickly bring their ideas to life. I think that if App.net is going to be successful, they nee

I think there are some strong points in the article but overall it misses a major point. Whatever interface you are designing, the underlying service you are building the interface for has to be something people really, really want. The

Do you have an MBA? I'm not trying to sound like a dick- that's an honest question. I do have an MBA and while I definitely think it was overpriced, the relationships with top faculty, in-depth case studies, and lasting friendships that I g

I think the main reason for this is that (to my knowledge) you can only buy the newest model of the iPad at any given time whereas the market for phones is far more segmented. Thinking of my friends, I know simultaneously people who have th

As somebody who quit a job to pursue a startup, I'm going to take the opposite side. Don't quit your job to pursue a startup unless: 1) You have a customer base lined up and some income is all but assured, or... 2) You have enough savings t

My point is that the title suggests that the content of the article explains how to build a business as a solo founder. So I would expect that it talks about things you should do to get your business going overcoming challenges, etc. that a
