Already, for the uninsured, if you break a leg and need an ambulance ride you get one. It costs an arm (in addition to your wounded leg) but you get it. Would you say this creates an incentive for EMTs and paramedics to break people's legs?

It's demonstrated in the article and elsewhere that they weren't expecting a free ride. Again, there are numerous examples of systems working where uninsured people pay AT COST. Uninsured? An ambulance ride is really expensive. Uninsured? A

The principles of great design are pretty timeless and are rooted in psychology, how our brain works and history. You're right that you can learn a lot by intuition, but it's more likely that you're learning what you prefer, not what good d

I couldn't agree more. This article was extremely uncomfortable to read; if it was me being written about I would be embarrassed and probably more than a little angry.

Do not accept this offer. Do you really want to work with someone who A) Doesn't trust you to work hard and B) Doesn't believe their work environment or product is good/fun/exciting enough to keep you around for only one year? We all have t

I would like to tell Microsoft to stop being so risk averse. Stop relying so heavily on market research. Stop acquiring talent with proven track records and stifling them with your rubric. If you want to survive the next 20 years, you're go

It's pre-alpha. I've yet to take a look at the repo, but any software that isn't full of security holes, bugs and flaws at the pre-alpha stage is probably ready for an alpha release. In other words: No duh. It would actually be surprising t

It's really encouraging to see signs of life in Microsoft's culture. I've never been a real fan of their products, but hopefully if some of this fun, creative energy makes it's way into the user experience. That being said, whenever anyone

I knew the iPhone well. We were great friends for a long time. This is absolutely terrible news -- has it been confirmed anywhere else? The only reason I ask is because IE6 was supposed to have died last year but 11% of our users still use

Sorry, that was very poorly worded. From your link, this is the point I was trying to get across: "For purposes of the regular income tax, the exercise of an incentive stock option is a non-event. There is no tax — in fact, nothing to repor

Congratulations! Vest in peace. Now, it's been a while since I've had to think about any of this, but I'll try to answer your questions: ISOs (Incentive Stock Options) are options that do not carry a tax burden. Meaning, if you exercise you
