tl;dr: Devil's Advocate. This is not going to be very popular, but I'm just going to go on the record and say that this whole story may be a hoax. And I highlight "maybe". What we have here are two blog posts from someone we know nothing ab

What I've learned from larger companies: 1. Your manager there is concerned with building their fiefdom and without a loyal crew, they know they won't succeed internally. They'll have little time for your negotiations skills and will be ver

Regardless of what Steve does in his professional life, I, for one, am going to stop procrastinating on all of those R links I've been saving up on Evernote and get down to some science.

Google can say whatever they want about Hitwise, but as far as I'm concerned, if it weren't for Gary Vaynerchuk, Baratunde Thurston and Chris Messina, I'd be left to reading my own posts. I have over 100 people in my circles and there are v

While we debate the merits of Mr. Yegge's principled talk at OSCON Data 2011 and the potential ramifications that a sudden shift in priorities would cause in the developer universe, #imisswhen is trending from my local cat-picture dissemina

Pro Tip: they'll give you that raise until the project you're on is completed. Then they'll give you the boot. Price/resume shoppers not only cause a lot of headaches if their success becomes apparent to others within the organization, but

I'll tune back in once Puma.com is back up and running. Would like to see how their Rails front-end handles the traffic; not sure what they were using before but the UX was awful.

You can also take the Fung Wa from Chinatown to Chinatown for $20 but that will not keep them from being separate entities.

That's incorrect. Cambridge is bounded in its majority by Somerville, Belmont, Watertown, Arlington and Boston descending in size of the borders. The only areas where Cambridge physically meets Boston are located along Charlestown and East

You can take an MBTA train to both Worcester and Providence from Boston. The MBTA is also the authority that manages the subway system, the bus routes and other services in eastern Massachusetts. Not just Boston. Anyone ever confuse Newark

Sure, and Portsmouth, Worcester and Providence are all a part of Boston too, when you look at it from a financial perspective. But they're not. They are their own incorporated cities with elected governments, complete with by-laws and regul

Just an aside for anyone who cares about maps and city boundaries, Cambridge is not a part of Boston and never was in any shape or form. I know the Boston Innovation guys are [really] trying to stretch it with this piece, but they got what

I promptly forgot Buzz as soon as I heard about it, so I cannot speak intelligently about it. But I've been using G+ quiet frequently now for the past three weeks and it's in desperate need of Twitter-like functionality, and in its current

Easy to put into practice if your team is composed of automatons that will execute your directives with instant and willing obedience. But the reality is that we're just people, each of whom has their own concept of what's expected from the

Testing the waters? Right now the G+ team is doing a lot of listening to the users and modifying the app in accordance as they go along, but make no mistake that the true purpose of the app is to copy all of Fb's functionality, clean it up

There should be no problem with it. What they mean by circulation is for sale, so unless you're bringing in boxes of same-title books for the apparent activity of selling them, I cannot see customs taking them away from you. Just don't brin

Do you have any statistics to back up your blanket assertion? I find that searching for a specific person through a common friend is a tedious exercise of first going to that common friend's page, locating their friend list and then typing
