Why is it that school is so important for an MBA? School is certainly important regardless of career but there seems to be a strong emphasis when it comes to MBA degrees. In Engineering or Computer Science, if you go to MIT that is going to

Read this and most of his articles around 2007. Some of the best articles I've read. Unfortunately he seems to have said most of the stuff he was going to say so he has stopped writing. Ho well, too bad.

Finding a co-founder is probably harder than finding a life time soul-mate. Unless the union between you and your co-founder feels 100% natural don't even try it. I say that it is better to be alone than to be in bad company. In this case y

I think this is just a storm in a cup of water. Seriously, read the entire patent application. The usage of the screen may fall under fair use just to make a point in the patent application. Don't get lawyers involved. Those parasites are n

I think that is wishful thinking. My gut is that they are seriously considering this if it allows them to grow.

If they go through with this it may be the beginning of the end for Google. At least for the google we once liked. Too many people are being hired by them. When they hire a lot of people not all them can be that great. I guess is time for t

I know I'm suppose to like this feel good small houses thing. It makes a lot of sense to sleep in a small house if that is within your means. But you know, I still like my average sized american home. Although I used to live in a tiny studi

Wow. I had no idea pays were this low. How do you live? Is the job really that great? Why put up with it? I started making 50K a year when I first graduated from college and I still complained it was too low after a year there. And now I th

Agree, it feels very disturbing. Although what he is describing is pretty much life in the real world. This is what is called "Playing the game". Idealistic persons will probably have the hardest time with this. To you I tell you to create

No is not. Thousands if not millions of people use their systems every year. Every person that uses it counts as time testing the system. Notice how quickly the hours add up if you look at it this way.

You have to remember that they use these systems to run their business and they've been tested for thousands or millions of hours so the system is extremely reliable. It is naive to suggest to switch to a newer platform or language. Those t

You were down to -1 points. Your phrase is awesome and try to live by it every day. The people that down voted you must be really screw up. I'm really curious as to why they would do that. What is it that bothers them so much about your phr

I think you got it. Calling yourself and idiot has huge negative undertones for me. I do understand that smart people tend to undervalue themselves. Trying to convince everybody you are an idiot (or that you were an idiot) just didn't sit w

Nothing wrong with learning from your failures. I do it all the time. I Think back about the times that I screw up and that if I'd had more experience things would have turned different. But hindsight is 20-20 so calling yourself an idiot j

Honestly, calling yourself an idiot is a huge turnoff. You automatically make me want to not cheer you on. It makes me feel like you deserve to fail. Bill gates, Steve Jobs, Paul Grahams and many other famous people have had failures before

I used to think like this also. Then I was in a car accident. The lawsuit lasted 1.5 years. 99.999% of that time was just spent waiting. The actual work that I had to do during that time was like 2 hours. Mainly one for the deposition. If y

Frankly I'm not so sure I would settle or even hire a lawyer if I were to face a situation like this. First, I have no assets. I guess they could garnish my wages. Isn't bankruptcy for this. I can get sued for a trillion dollars and it woul

I applaud you for this. Frankly you'll end up being more desirable if the company notices that you don't really care about them that much. As you say, it will send strong signals that you will succeed regardless and they'll probably want to

This is how it starts though. How do you think the British justified taken the lands from Native Americans? By saying that they were savages and a lot of other rationalizations. This is the first step towards that slippery slope. Once every

This is the type of attitude that got us into two huge wars and the reason why so many people hate us so much. You are probably one of those people that also believe in white supremacy and that would join the KKK in a heart beat. Stupid Mor
