It is possible to change peoples minds, but the trick is that you have to convince everyone around them first. Social proof is the most powerful force in the universe. It's infuriating, but the research shows us time and time again tha

I'm in the midst of a pretty similar house-hunt to this guy here in Denver. I currently live Downtown and love it. I'm not willing to move outside of the city, so we're focusing on a proper house in one of the city-center nei

It's incredibly difficult. When government money is involved the good old boy network swings into action. Contractors are picked based on political connections first and actual capabilities second.

This is an absolutely baffling comment. Particularly for a community (hackers) that value openness and transparency above pretty much all else. What in the world are you talking about, to a general public audience, that can't be heard

Maybe that was true in some distant past, but in my time in the startup world (about 16 years) it's never really been true. It's actually the thing I think Mike Judge has really nailed in "Silicone Valley" on HBO. He tel

(I like your idea too, of course. This is just another approach.) It's the same idea really. This is, after all, how it used to work. Then we got "tough on crime". The argument, from the courts themselves, is that they can

For all of the courts crying bankruptcy I have on simple fix: Stop fucking charging so many people with crimes. The actual cause here is so obvious. Why not just stop putting people in jail so often and for so long? Reduce the number of fel

Are there ISP's streaming ESPN3 without a cable subscription containing ESPN? My local options both require you to subscribe to a TV package.

I would like to "sponsor" a few of these for folks. Does anyone know of a resource, non-profit, or...something that can help facilitate that?

I recently left a 7 year old Ikea cabinets. Was in perfect shape, far better than the previous places I'd lived (the hardware they put on that stuff is fantastic). The countertop wasn't Ikea and the flooring was an engineered hard

I would be SHOCKED to see this go to trial. Not over $25k. The money is long ago spent (I'd bet) so the whole thing is a real waste of time.

Permanent AirBnB units don't help the housing market in the city. I could see that it might not help, but does it hurt?

I would change that to: Well credentialed and talented technical teams. That degree from Stanford or M.I.T. just opens an incredible number of doors when it comes to fundraising.

I always find it bizarre to see harsh reactions to interesting data. It doesn't seem very hacker-like to me. Isn't it enough just to be interesting data? Maybe you can spot patterns here that help you understand the types of indus

Fitbit has absolutely nailed the user experience. It's incredibly simple. The battery lasts forever. Plus they've found the perfect level of gamification to make the thing a viral hit. In my social circle, at the very least, the t

I wonder: what does the average number of nightly bookings look like for both Hyatt and AirBnB?

We solve that through careful hiring, and not being afraid to part ways with folks who can't get the job done satisfactorily. Interestingly we decouple the two precisely because of what you're describing. When you start singling o

How do you define performance? It's a fantastically difficult thing to define. In my experience every attempt at this (at least for engineers) ends up in a situation where people are putting their effort into maximizing metrics as oppo

The thing is Manhattan has a very similar dynamic to San Francisco. Rent control has artificially reduced the supply of Manhattan real-estate which has most definitely helped drive the overall cost way up. Ironically in order to protect poo

I have to admit, as a fly-over stater (Colorado) I found the tone be pretty condescending. There's an air of "we're moving the stuff people in the valley are to smart to do" to it. I'm not sure if it's intended

Escaping from the working class is a matter of luck, not hard work, and that's a brute fact of reality. Bullshit. It may be harder, but it's certainly not about luck. I went to a shitty state school (not even the flagship) in Ar
