I think that Epstein is getting at a point that there are other factors at play (genetic makeup, etc). And that it's not just a matter of getting 10,000 hours, then you're a superstar. Having read Outliers, I'm not sure that

He did talk about physical sports, referencing hockey and the fact that players who are born in January are the oldest and therefore have the upper hand at an early age; the theory is that those kids get more practice by being on tournament

Depressing that such hugely speculative extrapolation is getting upvoted the way that it is. This "article" is typical traffic fodder taking a flawed report at face value and reporting it as fact.

There's also something about having a work environment, or coffee shops and department stores and restaurants that all have air conditioning. Where it gets really hot, is when you spend an entire summer without even a minute of air c

The other big piece of his speech I enjoyed was echoed here on "borrowed time": 'Would I regret spending my life this way if I were to get hit by a bus next week or next year? And the important corollary: Does this path lead to a life I wil

I actually think it's less competitive than it was a couple of years ago. Many of the developers who were just making social games (Zynga, wooga, King.com) are now heavily focused on mobile titles.

I think an overarching issue is that the goals of FB developers are different from the goals of FB itself. As a result, FB is keenly focused on keeping its feed and request channels relevant and trimmed down, while developers would rather u

This is just a sad showing of fear-mongering mob mentality. Sadly, I expected more from these communities.

He really had a way with one-liners. I'll miss that. "No matter what they’re charging to get in, it’s worth more to get out." "Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." "If I ever do a f

It doesn't for me. A lot of people were wrong about the Internet. It was a revolutionary technology, but for every revolutionary technology that has succeeded, there are plenty that fail. If we look back 10 years from now, BitCoin could eit

As a non-programmer, non-artist working in the games industry - the best advice I can give is to become very good at a different craft, then move your way into the industry with experience. That goes for marketers, writers, analysts, etc. T

I think it's a realistic (if a little pessimistic) point of view. I personally don't believe that talent is "born" and that it can't be taught, but it's likely that if you get to college and weren't passionate enough to become talented by

I wonder if you could create a service which uses RSS, serves ads and gives back royalties to the services subscribed. Think Spotify for RSS. The biggest obstacle would be creating an RSS tool usable enough so that people are willing to con

Considering one of their most successful games has been Zynga Poker for a while, it's surprising it took this long. What they do have, however, is a very captive network audience. Assuming they have the right targeting, they should be able

I'm thankful that a manager at Xbox took a big chance on me and helped me to get my foot in the door in video games when I only had a college degree and a boatload of passion. But I'm just as thankful that when I first moved to Seattle, the

Perhaps I'm the wrong subject as I don't use AirBnB, but the idea of FlightCar frightens me. Far too much risk to take on for either side with little reward in terms of cost savings. And frankly, I imagine that the paperwork and coordinatio

I cannot fathom how the author takes the side of the employers at the end of this article. So workers should reduce their expectations so that certain manufacturers can succeed while paying them below-expected rates? Does the author legitim
