But, you probably aren't, as you went to college in the UK. So please refrain from your crass generalizations about countries.

Source for the standard of living in the US decreasing over the past couple decades? I'm genuinely curious, as it seems like our material wealth has increased, as well as life expectancy.

I used to live a block and a half away, and I still live 4 blocks away. I agree, it's not the most desirable thing to have in a neighborhood. However, the amount of NIMBYism and mental gymnastics that goes on in SF is infuriating. The

larrys is correct; due diligence (as it applies in corporate M&A) occurs after a term sheet or letter of intent is sent and accepted, and is the process of verifying that everything the other party said was true. Further, your question

Heh. I'm skeptical live streaming from Glass will ever become a thing many people do. Having some direct experience with it, most people just don't want to do personal live streams.

I don't see how his answer was naive. I think we've reached a low point as a people if believing an elected official will actually attempt to keep his campaign promises is naive.

Arram followed the advice I normally give people applying to startups for non-technical jobs that have no relevant experience: he prepared tremendously for his interview and actually came with real suggestions on things we should do, and vi

I use Workflowy exactly for this purpose, to reflect in data the mental process I was talking about in the original post.

"You’re looking for people who are 1) smart and 2) get things done" Number 2 is a lot harder to determine than number 1 in my experience. You can determine if someone is a good programmer by having good programmers ask them increasingly cha

I'm not against formal education entirely. I don't believe that everyone derives benefit equivalent to the cost (both to themselves, and the public cost) of college tuition, but clearly there are a large number of professions that require a

I actually concede that a higher percentage of graduates from top schools are highly talented (than other schools). Whether this is nature or nurture is irrelevant to me (as an employer). My point was that it is not of a differential to jus

The hardest part about Yale was getting in. Yes, many if not most of the people who get in are smart, but are they all competitive and competent? I don't believe so. Top school == a signal, but it is a weakly correlated one with being produ

I think that is the default Google+ layout to show where you went to school? If it says anything, I think it reinforces my point that US culture by default places too much emphasis on where you went to school. Not that I don't value my time

I thought most of the article was pretty spot on, except for the PBR being the drink of SF. PBR is all over hipster bars in the Mission, but there are plenty of places where you can't get it (most bars in the rest of the city). The true dri
