I think this is a case of standing on the mountain (SF) and everything else looking like a molehill. Yes, there are a thousand jobs opening a day in SF, but there are tens of thousands of applicants. I was recently in Oklahoma City for a JS

Or BigCorp would open an office in your hometown and hire you there anyway, because it was now impossible to get enough people for their job. More likely still, significantly more SaaS in easily configurable packages as companies that can&#

Launch from Layout is an installation method that allows you to take loose files (an unpacked appx zip) and tell the OS 'treat this as an installed app'. You can do this with a couple WinRT APIs, Device Portal, or WinAppDeployCmd

Are kids not watching Mr. Rodgers these days ? That's really tragic. I think that was one of the best things on TV growing up, in retrospect. I'm biased however, having grown up with it, in Pittsburgh where its filmed.

Heh, this is the issue, which makes me also love this stuff. I pronounce 'awn' and 'on' in 'lawn' and 'on' the same. Grew up in Pittsburgh so that tends to do it.

A student startup built something similar for potholes, which i think is a better use of the tech (1). Essentially road repair crews could carry a couple bags of the fluid and drop the bag into a pothole, where it would confirm to the shape

Not to mention a starving international airport that would be desperate to help make flights to Seattle happen. I know I'd be on the first one. And really, Pittsburgh is fantastic. Good schools, good commute even if you live in a sub

Lying aside there's still a point at which this is negligence. When your value prop is a set of numbers, and that number is obviously, impossibly incorrect, at what point do you have a duty to try to correct that number? At what point

Organization focused on moving and displaying other peoples bits has a ToS allowing then to do so. It might be too vague because it's less risky to be vague than to attempt being precise and opening yourself up to opportunistic lawsuit

Half and half - Vulcan owns about thirty acres in and around SLU after Amazon bought a bunch of it from Vulcan. They're planning on buying the other thirty as well over the next ten to twenty years apparently.

It's $19 to get a Store account that lets you submit an app (1). Developing is free, but to submit the app you have to pay. I'd be curious to see how many people with accounts haven't submitted an app - I know I haven't,

Some sports execs want to increase their stadium attendance. LeBron wanted a trophy. Some play to get paid, some focus on staying healthy. I think it's a fine analogy even when you add the nuances. Not all companies are good teams tho
