I know a man who isn't a billionaire but probably in the 50-100 million range. He sat down with me at a recent party we were at and talked about saving money on fuel with dockets via apps he uses when shopping. I was polite and interes

If you were around your family all day you'll get over them just like your colleagues. The most unnatural thing about modern life IMO is that we are not doing physical labor all day and instead sit. Whilst also working more. --edits fo

Larry Marshal gave a pretty good speech at the National Press Club to release this report. If you listen close, he talks about being at the beach in the future, when the beach now starts a few streets back from where it is today. You then

You earn millions of dollars for essentially keeping the trains running on time by instructing your minions to keep the trains on time, and then the market says we need new tracks and new trains and everyone's getting off your trains.

Ignoring the pop-pysch correlation of CEO's to sociopaths, I think that seeing your business going through a contraction would be pretty stressful for a CEO. It's a moment where you actually have to not just fly at cruising settin

I try not to think about Iraq too much. It was a big experience for me when I was a kid, and frankly it's insane we send 19 year olds off to war.

I broke my back (shatter a few discs) in the Army and it wrecked my career but it probably saved my life. Recovery was a slow process, but the change was sudden. It took me a while the learn the lessons from the experience. Which can be br

Try and talk to your users directly and if you're attempting to improve their workflow, try and watch their existing workflow and ask them questions about why they do things as they are now. Also use lists and hash-maps first, be wary

I want to create so much tech debt that it becomes alive and starts creating it's own tech debt. In the meantime, its fun making stuff and this is a growth industry where interesting things happen.

I never understood the laziness of the coal lobby, why would they not want to own the next new energy source en mass. They could have blanketed the hunter and all of FNQLD with arrays and just printed money. Such a classic stuffy old white

I agree, I would only add that you should implement the SQL db as matter of factly as possible. If you can store data in files, figure out a way to make a dead simple set of tables, maybe even just one. Nothing fancy. Just wait till you hit
