Thanks for taking a leadership role on this while so many others refuse to. Larry, Sergey, Mark, Marc, Marc, and Larry all should be actively helping these efforts to make housing more affordable to their employees and those of the companie

According to Times Higher Education, Chicago is ranked 11th in the US and 8th in the World (different rankings...) while Columbia is ranked 2nd in the US and 14th in the World. Rankings across every discipline will be different and vary bas

So what's a fair rate of tax? Who decides? The French Finance Minister? A EU Commissioner? Taxation without representation in a purportedly democratic polity tends to not go down well.

Writing tax laws effectively is hard, just like writing effective and secure code that will be publicly accessible is. You have to think about edge cases, not introduce race conditions, handle buffer overflows. And the people trying to find

Just limit the number of environments and keys that can be managed on each tier. 3 environments and 5 keys at the low end, 20 and 50 at the high end with a "call us" option for super heavy use. Even if you can't rate limit in

Every state is different in terms of regulations and local governments can vary in terms of processes, especially with the size of the jurisdiction. In my experience cities have just as many procurement problems as state/federal but wi

You want to charge based on the value that you deliver. You can have small teams with large per capita usage, and large teams with low per capita usage. You ideally charge a price that each customer is happy with and that makes sense for yo

Lots of software is awful because the client is an awful purchaser. If you have a convoluted and slow purchasing process that favors existing vendors you are going to have problems. If you have that type of process and can't spend very

The challenge of your solution is that these situations are those that most deeply need anonymity. You want proof of the veracity of the audio or visual evidence but the person(s) taking it and getting it out to public view desperately need

4-6 hours for one interview is fine. For 10-30 positions? When you already have a 60+ hour role and may also have travel+++ ? When other firms are moving faster to the real meat of the process? If you assume a freshly graduated engineer wit

It's the second time they reference him in the article. The first time he's referenced as President Barack Obama. It's also done to involved Republican (and presumably white) politicians on their subsequent mentions in the ar

I work on a graph focused firm, XN Logic, where we use an unhydrated graph to store and analyze the relations, the appropriate store for large volumes of information, and Datomic to store mutations for the graph for history analysis. We use

You're talking past each other. The point is that in other places you can save a larger fraction of your income such that you're actually saving more money in dollar terms living in rural MA than living in SF. SF is hilariously ex

GAAP has adjustments for industries. Types of businesses where COGS is very high frequently have Gross and Net revenue rather than revenue and Gross income because of the difficulty in finding signal in costs and margins. Not to mention tha

You actually didn't choose comparables. Advertising and Media firms frequently have very high outside expenses, so that they appear to have much higher revenue than they really do. It's not just actors, it's all of the other

If your employees/co-founders have a side gig, it's a sign that your company isn't paying them enough and doesn't offer them enough opportunity. If you were truly a great company, they'd see that you really were the next $10-100B firm and t

It is prototype hardware and some elements are not where we'd wish them to be. We have a fully revamped design for the bed carriage and drive assembly.

Thanks for your comments. We've found that moving the bed horizontally helps reduce the size of motors necessary to move the head as well as simplifies the required inertial calculations to properly model the fluid flow to give a detailed,

We think price is important and that the true power of 3D printing will come when we break out of the niche and into the mass market. Beyond price, we're designed from the start as a manufactured product, which led to much different compone

Sadly Facebook's tools for other sites are some of the slowest things on the web. That they're attached to every post and so can be called 10+ times per page really doesn't help. Scrolling on TechCrunch with your mouse over the post area is
