I agree with you. I think people are overreacting. With that said, I don't find the question any better than how it's currently done. I think companies would be a lot better if they administered the a Myers-Briggs personality test (or somet

Personally, I'd answer honestly and wouldn't BS. I do agree, though, that the word "imagine" is way overplayed. Most people who are having a conversation like this would likely miss that word and concentrate on the bulk of the question whic

Right on. You've clearly got your head on straight. Others here seem more interested in giving snarky half-truths.

This is true but Google has always been an engineering-led organization as opposed to a product-led one. Social networking is less of an engineering problem than it is a product problem. This is true for other social products as well. Funda

Same here. I've read filtered and unfiltered reviews and my conclusion is that Yelp does a good job with its filtering. It's not perfect but does a pretty decent job. WRT your problem: Have you tried filtering by price ($, $$, $$$)? Perhaps

It's funny because many years ago I read comments from people saying, "Yelp cannot last." Then a few years after that, "It's a fad and it will die." The a couple years after that, "When people catch on, they'll disappear!" And, now, on the

WRT prejudiced reviews, venues that have a decent number of reviews usually reach some sort of average weighting such that aberrations hardly affect the star rating. That's why 5 star places still have 1 star reviews and 1 star places have

Outright hyperbole. Service and location is one component of the eating experience just as food is. Service and location are ways for similar restaurants to compete against each other. To call people "service and location whores" speaks to

No one should be surprised that this is coming from Mark "I Did Every Horrible Thing In The Book Just To Get Revenues" Pincus. It not just looks bad. It IS bad. Arbitrarily deciding who does and who does not deserve to vest is ridiculous. I

Agreed. It's a bit naive to think they assembled this at the last minute. With that said, having a whole issue dedicated to someone in this manner (photos, quotes, no ads) is still pretty awesome.

Misleading title but scary nonetheless. It's not my complete phonebook... not even close. But it does have numbers of friends who aren't in my phone (which is useful and possibly OK considering they added me as friends). Nevertheless i neve

I don't go that high but I can easily have 4 windows with 6-10 tabs each. They are grouped by purposes (work, type of dev I'm doing (server/client), personal, personal project). At any one time I use 1-2 groups but switch between them depen

I'm in both camps. Typically I'll have a window with about 6-10 tabs. But I'll have maybe 4 of these windows. 2 will be for work, 1 will be personal and the last one is either personal or my personal project I'm working on. That's easily 24

>But at the same time, the renters have got to take on some responsibility for handing out their keys to strangers; yes that's what you're doing, is that a surprise? It's a good point but if AirBnb can't take measures to mitigate these

This story comes soon after the issue with AirBnb being outted where they were emailing/spamming listers on Craigslist and posing as fake people. Not only is this illegal (CAN-SPAM act) but also unethical and dishonest. One thing I didn't s

>Also, in regard to the so called "coverup", it's totally natural when someone says bad things about you on the internet to ask them to take them down. That's not a "cover up". That's "being human". I believe PG used the word "bullshit"

It's two-fold. On one hand, it's the law. On the other hand, I consider it a fair law. Pointing to other countries was simply to show that the US isn't alone in this thinking. It has everything to do with opening the borders because if ille

The USA is not responsible for the citizens of Mexico and to imply that they are is actually insulting to Mexico. It says that they can't take care of their own citizens. Everything else you said is simply biased slander on your part.

Do they? Just the other day I met an entrepreneur who was not American (either Canadian or European) who's able to work here on a "extraordinary ability" visa. He wasn't under an H1B and he's starting his own company. My original point is t

I didn't meant to imply that. I just meant what I said which was that I'm well-aware of the illegal immigrant situation since I've lived in the middle of it.

While you understand the definition of discrimination, you fail to understand the concept and it's legal use. Discrimination, in the legal sense, says that there should be no prejudice against people by race, gender, sexual orientation, dis

Well 1) that is the rule of law. It's not just the case for the US but many other modern nations in this world. 2) Being a citizen doesn't just have benefits but also responsibilities. This is why we pledge allegiance. At age 21 I had to re

How is it not fair? Because you say so? Because you disagree with the system? Is it more fair to have a free for all where people sneak in? It's convenient to say something is not fair as justification to break all the rules.

If you think the privilege of an H1B is "indentured servitude", it seems that immigration is not for you. I don't expect to enter a foreign country and immediately have all the same worker rights as a citizen of that country.

I sympathize but, ultimately, do not find your argument compelling. Mexico isn't the only poor country in the world. They just happen to be the one that's closest to the US. When my parents legally immigrated here, South Korea was a poor na

Again, you're just reframing the argument in order to make it convenient for yourself. I understand your position and, philosophically, it's an interesting one to take. But if you take your position to the extreme then there should be NO co
