Nobody holds public sector employees responsible. Atleast in the marketplace, if you mess up - you go broke (or you should, don't even get me started on the idiocy of 'too big too fail'). There's some incentives to hustl

That's what I don't understand. If the auditor couldn't understand the investment then they should absolutely not give it a stamp of approval. When in doubt, throw it out.

The financial ratings agencies have government monopolies essentially, they have special status (NSRSO's). Not easy to compete with government monopolies. If more agencies could be ratings agencies maybe some would have thrown the bul

Get government out of the way. Why couldn't independent labs certify and insure products, a la Underwriters Laboratories? We could have drugs vetted by these respected medical organizations and be labeled as such, think 'mayo clin

I remember back when business was boring. It wasn't that long ago. Back in high school I went to PFEW (Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week), it was a 1-week business camp essentially. You learned about ROA, competition, and making busine

My thoughts exactly. I hate when companies call it open hardware, but then turn around and say 'non-commercial use only'.

Most blogs make bad ecommerce sites, and most ecommerce sites make bad blogs. It's unfortunate but what I'm seeing is - for example, with Zencart, I have to litterally embed Wordpress inside of my Zencart installation. Ugh!

They didn't like how I described 'my approach'. Nothing specific. It said I can register again, but something tells me I probably won't be making the cut for this challenge.

I am a consultant for a digital marketing agency (Web dev. + Analytics + Search Marketing). I work 100% remote -- I don't do this nomad stuff, I just stay in my house. Once a year they fly everyone in for a one week 'summit'

I originally read that part as applying only to the 'display' part of the rights clause. Reading it again, I think you are right - perhaps Google really is getting zero licensing rights out of the contest.

Well I know I negotiate for the right to keep developing my own projects. Also, I work remote, and to me -- time is fungible -- I work nights/weekends etc. So if I work on a fun project 'during the workday' it is still mine,

Maybe he does own the IP outright. He negotiated for the right to create side projects and has paperwork to prove it? Or maybe he figures it's his because it's not within the scope of his employment. i.e. -- has nothing to do with

1) I'm suprised that this kind of work is going on at Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc. Maybe I'm just unaware, but I thought that was interesting. 2) The conclusion of this paper is daunting. It sounds like it's impossible to r

You know, reading this thoroughly - the statistic is alittle unclear in the title. The real stat is -- Over the course of a 10 year career, if you don't stay at any jobs for more than 2 years, then you make 50% more. This becomes a lar

She should consolidate. I had multiple lenders as well and when I consolidated my payment went down from ~750 a month to ~275 a month. It added .25% to my interest rate but it was worth it.
