I can see Uber, Lyft, and traditional taxi drivers reading Sun Tze's The Art of War. Well, maybe Uber and Lyft.

Traditional taxi drivers need to be less grubby -- Uber was able to take advantage of that. How important a factor that is would depend on the country or city. But in some countries, it may be a way of filtering for drivers that speak Engli

It helped that my TV included a little kit (containing cords, brackets, and screws) and instructions for securing it. It felt like just another step in the physical setup of the TV, not something I had to do "eventually."

It's one reason (the other being cost) we moved out of a datacenter located in San Francisco's SoMa district.

On a Mac, I like tpp, which can be found at https://github.com/cbbrowne/tpp . I installed it using Homebrew (brew install tpp), which will install the necessary Ruby dependencies. Optionally, for huge letters, you'

I know that Uber does background checks on their drivers, but do they also provide training to their drivers? Are drivers evaluated first by an Uber employee?

"Eventually" is not sufficient, certainly not for security-related software. More generally, unless one is able to devote a sizable amount of time to a project, the "activation energy" threshold for good ideas to result

I see that Sarah says that "As you may know ... " so presumably everybody is on the same page to start, but going forward it seems that only Sarah has a holistic view of the situation. Is this not the case? And are dependencies

Yes, English is my first language. I don't know why I internalized that symbol the way I did. And looking at the Atari TOS screenshot, I would have said the symbol in the upper right corner looked like an elevator "open" sy

Wow, I had always thought the "X" was like an elevator close button. Sort of like a greater-than sign and a less-than sign put together: ><.

That passage doesn't rub me the wrong way at all. It is a clear set of statements. I don't have to belong to such a company, but if I did, at least I would know what the bounds were. At the start-ups I worked at, I saw a slippe

The book, Driving Honda, is a great read. If being a successful start-up means making the best use of the resources around you, and being acutely aware of the status quo, yet willing to challenge it through real engineering, then Shoichiro

Good idea about using Spaces. For me, using that and creating multiple tabs within Terminal really helps. When I use my iPad as a second monitor, however, I use it for displaying a Dotcom-Monitor dashboard I created, so that it is always

When I talk on my phone, I usually step outside and leave my laptop where it is. As an additional note, public wi-fi spots sometimes require going through a proxy. I use ssh a lot, and even using software like corkscrew doesn't alway

Being able to hang a tablet off of your laptop's screen (like the way that kickstarter project mentioned by someone else does) would be nice. By the way, my laptop bag has a convenient pouch for a tablet.

Whenever I need a second screen, I use an iPad connected to my laptop using Avatron's Air Display software. It works well for my needs.

A number of older hotels have decent wired connections. Otherwise, if both the wired and the WiFi is bad or non-existent, I use my personal router (WiMAX) and connect that way. My phone is good option too.

If the shoe were on the other foot, you would want to be paid what is owed, wouldn't you? Look at your budget, speak honestly with those to whom you owe money, and work out a payment plan. If that absolutely can't be made to wor
