I think it's funny that people downvote because they don't like what they read even if its true. Put yourself in the shoes of the game developer who puts everything on the line to develop a game that thousands of people watch but

Game developers don't have any option except to restrict public display of their games in some way. There are now plenty of people who enjoy watching but not playing games. Game developers need revenue for this firstly because they des

I don't have a co-founder. I did have one once but there was constant conflict about the product vision. I can do everything myself and I don't want to run an empire so why give half the company away because someone else says I n

These company valuations are just made up as part of the valuation ponzi schemes. A "valuation expert" means nothing.

My ex partner always said I didn't listen to her. I really want to be a better listener. It seems to me that the key to listening is to actually be present and not half thinking about something else or what YOU want to say. Hard to do.

Do you hear a background hum? Errr, now that you mention it, I guess I do. It is driving the world mad. Is it driving you mad? Yes I think maybe it is. Did you hear the background hum before today? No, but I definitely do now you&

True. It seems likely to me that companies like Facebook will spend alot of money fighting adblockers. Not just in court but in Washington with lobbyists. The politicians know which side their bread is buttered on - laws will come into eff

They designed the system to support 1,000,000 users per hour over 24 hours. Of course the census is Tuesday evening so it's more like 20,000,000 users in one hour. Politicians would argue that this sounds like a good test, but technolo

This is wise. To be truly happy you need to accept your own mediocrity. Only then can you start to accept yourself.

The irony is that the word is "mediocrity" when referring to an individually mediocre person, as this article seems to advocate. Unless of course your goal is to call out the culture of the company which is entirely mediocre. Anyh
