I think I missed the part where he had the leverage to make that kind of demand. Perhaps even the brand-name consulting firms have figured out that ridiculous severance packages don't make a whole lot of sense.

I forget his name at the moment, but the author of "The Management Myth" retired early from management consulting to write a book on philosophy.

Although I agree with most of the premises of the article, I was dumbfounded by the assertion that marketing is a creative role that doesn't require mathematical skills. Marketing is quite analytical in nature, and is not about dreaming up

Bowker is the official issuer in the US. Different countries have different issuers. The cost-per-ISBN goes down as you buy larger blocks.

In business school we were taught to incorporate uncertainty into projections and models, at the very least by including multiple scenarios. I'm surprised this isn't done in the real world as it doesn't require that much additional effort o

I think the comparison with housing is interesting, especially given the social status implications. RE: tuition vs. CPI, I think it has been pretty well documented that tuition increases have far exceeded CPI, at least over the last 20-30

If you're interested in doing this: 1. Google "POSE Running". The site has lots of information and drills for changing your form to accommodate a mid-foot strike. 2. Consider transitioning by using racing flats instead of immediately going

I can save him the trouble of writing the book with one (compound) word: Crossfit.

They mix up the movements and there is a rest day every fourth day. If I do deadlifts one day, box jumps and pullups the next, and running/situps/back extensions on day 3, my body can handle it just fine. It beats running or biking every da

I guess if you're completely unfamiliar with running, lifting, and movements like pullups and pushups, then you should probably start by going to an affiliate where a trainer can start you out on proper progressions, as opposed to learning

Yep, expense is one reason I haven't joined an affiliate. Luckily, I'm able to get through most stuff at my Bally's if I go when it isn't crowded, but I've thought about finding an affiliate. The reason I thought this might be interesting f

I liked that as well. Although I am no expert on exercise science, I believe the science behind Crossfit is relatively solid. I've been doing it for about 2 months and it really is the most effective all-around workout I've done. The focus

I'm not sure what you've written here is entirely in opposition to the Crossfit philosophy, although they don't emphasize bench. I agree that beginners should be cautious about learning the movements properly and scaling. Crossfit hits all

My guess is that he wanted to see if you could think your way towards some kind of algorithmic approach. I think his biggest mistake was not moving on to something else after a minute or two. I've used these sorts of questions in interviews

I think the idea is that if TechStars accepts you, then you quit your day jobs and jump in full-time. That is part of the opportunity they are providing.

by jeremytliles 18y ago
I think this is a great point. At the stage a TechStars company is at, they need founders and advisors. Anything else is going to create inefficiencies. And if they're lacking in hacking talent such that they need one of these interns, th

Having had to use Blackboard several times in the past, I have a hard time believing they have any IP that should be protected. As I recall, their functionality is similar to any number of portal-type applications (groups, discussions, docu

I actually live in the Belmar development in Colorado that is mentioned in the article. For the most part, we've been quite happy with it. With a Whole Foods, restaurants, bars, public library, and many stores only a 5-minute walk away, we

Interesting. In my experience, company leaders typically engineer discussions in order to validate what they already believe, and of course it can be a career-limiter to argue too forcefully with one's superior. I think it takes an executiv

Some of the coursework is difficult precisely because it is unstructured. I didn't find the finance courses to be particularly difficult because the problems typically fit into a fairly neat structure: "price this option" or "value this pro

1. Learning to express oneself concisely (while still conforming to rules of grammar) as well as verbosely may make one a better writer. 2. Writing tweets does not necessarily help one learn to express oneself concisely. For many, it leads

I went to this last year (of course it was easy for me because I live in Denver). It was a great event with a lot of useful information. It is a great opportunity to meet the people who will be making the acceptance decisions and hopefully

This is actually a great improvement. I've developed a couple of applications on GAE, and it was very difficult to do anything non-trivial without generating "High CPU" warnings. I think once they get task scheduling in (part of their recen

I think this is the key: "For me, trust and respect is driven by competence, but assumes a bi-directional loyalty." Anyone who assumes a uni-directional loyalty in a business (or really any) relationship is asking for trouble. These days, I

Umm, yeah, and unfettered capitalism does such a wonderful job of allocating resources. Government is terribly inefficient, but what other entity is going to maintain infrastructure, a social safety net, schools, and other basic services fr

Good point, although I think it was disingenuous of the author not to mention that interest rates are higher. I think that is clearly another type of "tightening."

Plus, you're ignoring the fact that there is a credit (which can be thought of as an exemption), which is different year-to-year, but not less than $1,000,000. I don't feel like going through all the details, but you can easily research thi

Your heirs didn't earn that money, so they're only paying taxes once. You pay once for earning it, they pay once for "earning" it via your departure from this earth. But presumably if you have lots of money, you've already set up trusts, pa
