It's not only the worst part of capitalism, advertising works by exploiting human psychology. Once you see the ad its effects take place and there's no way to avoid it. There's no way to mentally forget stuff like brand recog

It's hard to have a guideline. Each employer has different level of coverage and deductibles. Make sure you understand how the plan works and what it covers. Most of the big well known companies have substantial coverage for you and yo

Not really. Fresh grad Wall Street analysts are paid probably comparable or worse than first year google engineers. You don't start making good money until much later on from bonuses. And at that point no one will call you in for a Chr

That's a pretty funny thread. Near the bottom you see this guy talking about his startup ideas and Drew Houston replies and asked him if he wants to help with Dropbox. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35088

If you're talking about the 5x revenue there are certainly a lot of public data on that. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=aapl+goog+msft+facebook Look for revenue/employee.

The editor in one note is way better than Evernote, which is a constant frustration with anything even remotely complicated like a checklist or numbered list. It's too bad they don't have an osx client.
