How are you going to convince people to move a rural area where they know nobody just to work for your startup that might not be around in a year? All to save what, $1,000 a year? How are the schools in Tahoe? Vacation homes, exactly. Lifes

In banking this was attempted and achieved mixed results. UBS for example tried to get people to move to Stamford but they've migrated from that strategy because they couldn't recruit top talent out of schools. Young people don&#x

There is actually a huge vacuum right now and it's in the "country" space. There is an opening in the market for a well-run nation-state that offers (1) independence, particularly from US influence, (2) pro-entrepreneurship,

NJtransit and path trains are terrible. That's the problem. LIRR is so much nicer...

If it's a commodity business then take your capital out and trade pork bellies from home instead. Regardless I'm quite pleased with Stripe and I'm not a developer. I just use it with a mobile app.

Reading about the triggers made me think about depression as something that may have evolved as a defense/protection mechanism. It's clear he pursued far too much, especially physically, that year. Perhaps humans evolved to become

Except Uber is livery cars, and these have been around for ages. People regularly take them to the airport. The only difference is Uber handles the booking and billing via app instead of over the phone. NYC cabs are well regulated and work

I know people in the industry. They have a terrible reputation and treat their maids horribly. They were also caught buying fake yelp reviews.

I never see big corps have unpaid interns. It's always small, scummy orgs like this one.

So where's the reason? It mentions the real estate, but not its value. They mention spinning off the band instruments, but what exactly does that accomplish?

As the labor force moves away from manufacturing to "knowledge-based," I'm not sure why you think population growth will occur in rural areas. Knowledge wants to be near knowledge, growth will continue to be concentrated in l

There's no reason why the customer should bear that burden rather than the owner. The owner can figure out how to implement a profit sharing/incentivization scheme just like every other business! If I work at an Apple store and we

Because I get attitude from a person who is supposed to be serving me, as well as inattentive service. I don't think I need to explain why bad service is bad. Also, the actual act of tipping is uncomfortable. I have to write an amount

I don't drink and nor large groups of friends I have, we're all used to this. As soon as a table demonstrates it's not ordering alcohol, waiters basically disappear for the night or give us attitude. Tipping is stressful for

Like it or not, language is always evolving. Someone older than you was annoyed by your teenage vernacular as well. Writing "account" after everything is kind of silly when I think about it. These aren't banks or wholesale ve

Not at all. What you're referring to has to do with exceeding a certain number of shareholders. In fact many Fortune 500 companies are privately held. Koch, SC Johnson, etc[1], not to mention the myriad large companies that are taken p

I disagree. Cycling has become a lot more popular, and easier, in NYC in recent years and especially in recent months since CitiBike started. I live by 1st Ave, where there is a physically separated bike lane from Houston up to the low 40s.

Some people do great work but aren't connected to others. They don't immerse themselves in their field, they aren't vocal publishers or active members of organizations.

Your reference to Slashdot on 9/11 gave me a bout of nostalgia for all the time I spent on that site as a teenager, and led me to checkout archive.org's Slashdot capture from that date. For some reason it doesn't exist, the c

It's a trendy thing amongst billionaires lately. Even in Australia they are trying it. I think there may have been a consensus of some sort made at one of the many "billionaire conferences" that happens every year.

"remove by 2017." Wow, how kind of them. How about we stop politely asking our Manufacturer Overlords to stop their destructive activity in 4 years and instead get legislators do their job and ban their use immediately ? A local

No. Products liability. Everyone in the "chain" can be liable including retailers and manufactureres.

I think the actual story itself is fake. Meaning, they didn't actually give anyone any vodka. They just made those bottles and filmed a few friends pretending to pour it at parties to use in their film clip.

There is a such thing as Administrative courts. IRS has them. Department of Justice has them for immigration. So, as long as this court was authorized by Congress the Executive can implement it.

What is Starbucks' incentive for making wifi faster? Do they really want to encourage the people who sit there all day on laptops? Will the Google wifi require a login via web browser before given internet access? My phone is always au

I have plenty of family who did this to escape an Islamic regime. You need to cross the border into a friendlier country and claim asylum. Pay a smuggler, go by horse (seriously), do what you need to do to get across (bribes). Go and start

Is the Nexus 7 posting huge losses? I'm pretty sure it's profitable. Microsoft is doing something wrong. Years of unprofitability is not a prerequisite for profitability.
