I think the problem is not the Law itself. The problem is that in order to protect yourself (even if you're not guilty) you have to spend ENORMOUS amount of money. From this perspective rich people have more access to the basic rights (in t

> to at least support good commuter rail I personally don't see any problem with Caltrain. It's relatively reliable and goes often enough. The only thing that's missing is free wi-fi, but I think they plan to put it in there eventually.

The topic is misleading. "Light rail" != "Transit". Light rail sucks, no argue about that. Buses are pretty good. Caltrain is decent. But in such a low density area it's hard to expect something good out of public transportation.

I agree with that reading Ferriss could change your life and the way you think about learning, earning money and taking care of your body. I don't think, however, that 4-Hour Chef is really a life changing book. 4HWW definitely is, at least

It's a great article, thanks a lot for sharing this. The most amazing part of all of it is that Google offers it for free while many other companies charge a lot of money for the same (or even worse) functionality.

Well, I understand it matters for Amazon and Google, but I'd be curious to see how it works in case of OP's website. Obviously it's going to be different from Amazon. I guess the subject is a little bit misleading.

This article is a great promotion for Cloudflare, but it does not really explain WHY page speed matters. Of course we all want our websites to load fast. I'd be more curious to see how the speed correlates with your conversion rates.

What's really interesting for me is how some companies are trying to offer similar solutions, but charge A LOT of money for that, while Google is doing everything better and for free.

I'm in exactly the same situation right now and I ABSOLUTELY agree with you on everything. One minor thing here though that I don't call it a 'startup', it's rather a 'small business', which grows linearly, not exponentially (not yet at lea

Nice data, but nearly impossible to understand. It would be nice to put at least a couple of big cities (Palo Alto, Fremont, etc) on the map, so that you could understand where's what.

That's exactly my point. Give everybody a visa, but reward them with GC only when they build a successful business. If they can't - they go home when the visa expires.

Here's my story. I had H-1b for more than 3 years. I know for sure that I was taking someone's job - there's no doubt about that. When I finally got my green card - I quit the next day to start my own company. Now I create jobs. So it took

It does not work when you open the link in a new tab. The font on the screenshot is not the same that I have when I go to their website, so that would alarm me. Otherwise it's pretty clever.
