I don't think he's implying you can't be a good company without it, just that there's a lot of hardship and lessons learnt that can be avoided by having a researcher do academic diligence. You can learn those lessons the

I checked the page about an hour ago, and it was at about $180k, I just went back now to watch the video and it's now $250k and actively rising as I watch the video! I'm going to say this will definitely destroy its goals. :)

Depending on the program, the quality of your instruction can be vastly different from college to college. While an elite college is not a guarantee of a good curriculum, or better teachers, those colleges are more likely to have better pro

Did you get internships? I did an internship every year at my school and their network helped me get them. Network doesn't just mean knowing people from the school after graduating, it also means leveraging it to get ahead while you&#x

Is there a similar library that can use local assets? I'd prefer to remove an external website dependency from my build process if possible.

That's true :) But at least the absolute amount wrong will be hours or days, instead of weeks or months. Also, you can leave it a bit more vague and just say "I need to explore the problem space a bit before giving an estimate&quo

I think a big part of the problem is that nobody ever teaches developers how to estimate and they are almost always wrong. A typical scenario is; PM describes a feature, asks for an estimate, and the developer gives it to him, right then an

It's probably a big part of why they invested in Uber in the first place.

I would prefer if the hostname was clearly separated and highlighted with the path after. I don't really feel the need to be able to instantly enter a new url outweighs my desire to see what URL I currently am on.

Is there a precedent for this in traditional investing, such as a case where an angel invests in a company and the founders take the money and run, or blow it without making a real attempt at the company?

If a website loads the javascript facebook API on their site, and you're logged into facebook in general, they know who you are and what page you were on when the script was loaded whether you give the site permission or not. When the

It really depends on your definition of what mainstream means when it comes to languages. I think you can both be right depending on the interpretation.

I'm surprised a GUI for selenium test creation hasn't been done sooner. It looks like you guys have done a good job, but the feature I would need to see before using this seriously is a way to get the selenium code output and fine

I feel the same way. It definitely varies from neighborhood to neighborhood, and even street to street. I think he was trying to hit a resonating sentiment but experiences are so varied I think he failed.

That's a very good point, as it's commonly used but rarely pointed out. I feel the examples in this article are very well known, but I never thought about the impact of 3D charts. I suspect many people who use it do so without any

I think they're addressing a public complaint. When other companies provide vague responses or simply say "no comment", people complain. Tesla tries very hard to be faultless, apparently to a fault.

The pinterest layout is only really good for pinterest (or very similar content). This forces my eyes all over the place when I just want to read down the list.

We can pretend things are equal, but they're not. If a young girl is taken to a work place and all she sees is 20+ men working there (and chances are that is what she would see), that can definitely be discouraging. Unfortunately, wome

It's a very hard job, and not everyone is up to the task. Good management is very hard to find, and that's true of any position. It's hard to find good engineers too. Maybe the best advice for OP is to try and get to know the

And they still went, and they still benefited. If anything, that's just an argument to still go to college, do something amazing while you're there, and drop out when it becomes a huge success, which I don't think anyone woul

Why do people keep on using Zuckerberg as an example? Facebook was a social network for college students . If he hadn't gone to college, why would he, and how could he make a website for college students?

I think the best solution for this would be having a private npm server. With npm's recent incorporation and funding, I have a feeling that is going to be coming soon. It's helpful even for small companies, but once you have multi

If the FCC classifies a carrier as a common carrier, does that apply just to the service, or also to the infrastructure itself? If cable companies were made into a common carrier would cable television also have the same regulations applied

I think their strategy is to get it out to as many people as possible in the most efficient way possible. I imagine doing construction in SF and NY is a nightmare so it would be a fight to get it done. If you do it in the easy places first,

I think their strategy is good. Demand comes stronger after you show results. The pitch is much stronger when you say "look at all the benefits this city got for welcoming us in". This isn't about proving a point, it's a

In the world of sales, for the most part you make a sale or you don't. With programming, you can tackle the problem in many ways. There's no easy way to measure quality. If you pay just for getting the job done, you're encour
