I'm confused. What do you mean $50,000 in and out of the country? Firms and individuals regularly move a lot more both in and out. (Is such behavior only quasi-legal?)

Especially if employees know their manager/org does stuff like this, employees will almost like bidders in a game theoretic auction; trying to keep flexible schedules, predicting the likelihood/quality of other vacuums coming up,

Sorry for another negative post. As a PM, the example stated seems a bit absurd and definitely not the environment for me. A transparent and healthy company culture lets people (briefly) reason and talk about projects/strengths. There

As someone who worked on payment processing in the US, there are a hundred absurd or obscure regulations. The most important involve making sure terrorists can't use your service to launder money; this usually boils down to adding some

For people unfamiliar: ChucK is probably one of the easiest ways to get started programming synths, and still one of the best ways to play live, layered audio. It comes with some nice tools (miniaudicle) to mix/arrange live music. Supe

Pure economics should be about applying abstractions to help us understand the world. The world is pretty sophisticated, so I'm fine with mathematically sophisticated abstractions. Even when those abstractions fail intuitively, they c

Is 27 million messages a lot? I'm not sure if this is a testament to how good facebook is at fighting spam, or a media error.

For context, MIT has had the consensus best overall economics program for the last ~30 years. Harvard, Stanford, etc. compete closely with MIT in many fields, but MIT is still the most desirable destination for graduate students and assista

I have been lost more or less every time I've been in Gates. As an asian male CS student, nobody's ever "tried to help me."

There are dozens of posts with 1000+ upvotes comparing Ellen with Hitler. As far as I can tell, there's something larger and terrible going on within reddit's community.

The revenue model is similar, but the product is obviously really different. If anything, Credit Karma ARPU could be higher. Credit card referrals typically range from $50 to $200 dollars. Massive amounts of users come to Credit Karma throu

Is just this a subtle ad? The twitter/facebook on the bottom direct to a website-maker company.

Dropbox is a pretty inexpensive consumer product. Assuming they're profitable, they probably aren't any more likely to go down than netflix.

I'm thrilled it has been removed. Reddit can be a hugely potent outlet for sexism, racism, and really terrible things. No one is denying their right for free speech, but Reddit shouldn't be expected to pay to host their forums or

What a strange article. Is there a translation or cultural context? The part about the Japanese "los[ing] face" or the reference to Russian civic culture are two of many puzzling bits.

If you're not familiar with game theory and mechanism design, MD is actually hugely applied in technology. Trivial examples include ad network auctions (which so many startups get wrong); there is a LOT of literature about how to desig

Going beyond the article, it feels like a16z gets in on a lot of the "hottest" startups of the moment. This makes sense given some people think a16z is the best VC in business, but it givens them a really weird slice of sv/hy

The half of Millbrae near Burlingame is almost always warm and sunny. The half of Millbrae near San Bruno is sometimes cold and foggy. As someone who grew up in Millbrae, there's definitely some stratification here.
