So this is basically one very big hack? "Content cache and session management don't work." That's a pretty big drawback for me. Are there any performance issues?

Maybe if you're applying to State Farm. Why on earth would you want to work for them? Find another young start up, brush yourself off, and try again. You only fail when you quit.

"I have an RFID tag surgically implanted in my left arm so I can unlock and start the car simply by putting my arm near the window." Interesting.

Probably true when you look 4-5 years into the future and some of these seed companies start growing out into real, profitable, sustainable businesses.

It's fun only the first 10 or so times you hear "PHP sucks, ROR is the greatest language in the world!" As with any joke, it tends to get old pretty quickly. Move on, find another joke to tell. As a disclaimer, I don't take sides. I use

I think this type of thread needs flagged and removed altogether. It serves no intellectual purpose, I personally don't like reading stuff that's presented in this type of way. *Edit: thanks for deleting this. I don't see anything wrong w

The fact is, both ROR and PHP are good in different scenarios. CodeIgniter allowed me to build HnDir.com in <8 hours, and I'm using ROR on my current project. But this constant bashing of the other language treating it like PC vs Mac i

I have a friend who does upwards of $100-$200 and he is constantly in demand. He's really good. One of the best coders and best designers I've ever worked with (in my limited career, which is only 2 funded startups).

You should browse CSS top sites and try and look up the designers behind the sites. Are you open to remote work arrangements? If you want to get in touch with me I'm happy to refer some guys I know who are really good. Rates may be a bi

Yep, R|P. It was a good talk from what I remember, although they conveniently make videos of those that you can watch again later.

The ONE thing I never liked was the corny part where they did joke of the day. It's not funny when you're there trying to give a joke. It's like asking someone to tickle you. Other than that, Toastmasters is really good. Don't need it if

Tips for hacking your speaking skills: 1) Most importantly, practice it out loud. Do it about 20 times and you'll be comfortable enough to deliver it with only glances at note cards. 90% of being nervous comes from not knowing what you're

Check out Olin College. They are built specifically for engineers who also want to get into creativity and design. They emphasize teams with a project-based curriculum. Oh, and there's no cost. They've been cited as one of the next Ivy

I share the same skepticism towards telecom as Lawrence Lessig. In short: they've always been slow to innovate, they only look after their bottom line, and they stifle innovation. Comcast will not build anything before hackers get to it.

That's very possible. Reporters tend to exaggerate certain elements, but he has a pretty strong math background. Either way you look at it, he's hacking the numbers to increase his own odds of investing in the right stuff.

Gun owners are more at risk for suicides than homicides (by quite a large margin). The media covers these, although in reality they happen far less than we would think (see recency effect).

Basecamp is among the only applications I know of that were built on 10 hours per week (assuming that's true), and even then it was a side project. Most successful start ups I know of were spending that much time in a single day.

To prepare bids he locked himself in his office to write a computer program with 50 variables (now 250), ranging from home price changes by neighborhood to interest rates to origination dates. Yep, he's a hacker.
