I've been in a couple Midwestern start-ups, and founder's spouses (wives, in both cases) often did come into the office. Generally they were going somewhere together, or whatever. Chatted several times, and it was no big thing.

Simple answer: it depends. Different companies doing development (pure tech to Fortune level corporations) all have different requirements and environments. A small, fast-pivoting, ever changing start-up isn't going to need, want or h

As a student from another city, I have only enough understanding of the geography to read Google Maps critically - for the details, it's indispensable. Amazing that those people in ancient times--of what, 5-7 years ago?--

Never have had a smartphone, and don't really want one. Can they be handy? Yes. Can they be useful business tools? Yes. In the end though, they are way more problematic: Standby and talk time battery life just isn't there. I d

The year 2000 saw me in my early going on mid-thirties, and I was the youngest person in the room. Then I went to work for a pretty cloistered company for the next eight years. One closed local office and one declined offer to move to HQ l

Depending upon corporate structure and legal jurisdiction, certain funding streams (loans, lines of credit, guarantees) WILL require both the founder and their spouse to sign on the dotted line. This places the spouse on the financial hook

This is the exact same thought I had when reading the story. Not only would it be cheaper, but you could follow each vehicle through the lot and figure out the traffic flow patterns better. Plus, to tie in with this other front-page story (

Horrible news. Today's passing of Ramis added to the passing of John Hughes in '09, means the two powerhouses of the Golden Age of cinematic comedy (70's, 80's and early 90's) are gone. Thanks for the laughs, Harold

Teens aren't interested in Facebook anymore? Doesn't matter, they have no money to spend. Sure they do. They spend their parents' money quite well. Being only half-way facetious. It's what they spend it on.

This will be the second year where I've placed data ownership in my farm leases. Essentially, any data directly describing the farmland (geolocation, soil types, nutrient levels, etc) is my data, and may not be given away except as re

The activity would be called pandering (pimping). Take a look at overview of the RICO statue ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corru... ).

Can you knowingly persuade yourself? Yes you can. (e.g.,"I convinced myself of that fact.") In one fell swoop, you are both persuader and persuadee. Victim and victimizer. The law states "any person", which can refer b

The Feds do outlaw it across state and national borders. 18 USC 2421+ (MANN ACT): Whoever knowingly transports any individual in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, with intent that such i

IANAL. But stop and think. If "the activity" or "act" takes place in the US, it would still be illegal. If you have a pimping/pandering company based in Canada, offering services in the US, those on the US side cou

I've been through this four times. Three died at home; one at work. These were all at small companies, so we all knew each other--many for decades, and over different jobs. The last two passed away about eleven and twelve years ago.

As a business owner, I do my best not to antagonize those who use my services. Auto-play video? Not only distracting and annoying, but a drain on batteries. I think Facebook will find this drives people away.

One option is to apply for a pardon to the governor of your state. If you can show the reasons why you were doing what you were doing (in short, repercussions of a parental suicide), show you did receive a degree, have people who can vouch

The problem isn't pair programming, per se. It's the forced nature of it in many locations. Every line of code has to be written/modified in a pair. The irony? Pair programming has become a dogmatic process over the needs

Where have the years gone? All I'll say is, I was "there" (meaning affected). It was also amusing watching the news reports at the time. I remember one of the nightly "world news" shows (ABC, iirc) having it right u

Overpriced food and other "staple" items is a reality everywhere, not just SF. For instance, for $4 you can get a regular cookie ($1.99) and fountain drink ($1.90) at multiple midwestern city locations of Panera. I pay more at my
