You're right about ISIS for what its worth. The documentary "The Power of Nightmares" is a really good introduction to the background of that whole story for people who criticize you on the topic. Its very accessible and w

Who are the competitors to AmaFaceGoogFlix? I'm based out of nyc, and the common logic here is that dev salaries start maxing out in the 150-170 range. If you go to a hedge fund, you can get more, maybe pop 200. But for more than th

Who is your market? I've built a product that collects data like this, but we couldn't find any buyers. The short end of it, was no one in the market has an incentive to pay for it, except for the advertisers, and the advertiser

I don't think that's a fair comparison. I love motorcycling, and the Isle of Man TT is probably the craziest spectacle I watch every year. And every year, at least one person dies in the race. A lot of the mechanics and race sho

How? The people I know who did this basically worked at consulting firms until they'd built a network, then set out on their own.

Only if we're lucky. Repealing obamacare without a replacement came within a single vote.

So I was confused by this article, and did a little bit of research. Specifically, I was confused how cutting 50k applications could cut our immigration rate in half. We're a country with a population of 330 million people, 50k shoul

Noam Chomsky used to talk about how there are markets for good journalism. Economic journalism for people on wall street. Academic journalism for academics. These journalists are usually high quality, because they have to be, their audie

How different would your private life be, if you thought there was a chance it could affect your future job prospects? If everything in my personal life were known over the last 20 years, I'd probably be unemployable. Let's just
