Interestingly enough my Uncle is the same way. He is an entrepreneur although, his business has absolutely nothing to do with the tech industry, so it's not a problem unique to hackers, but to startups. Along with my own experience, my star

Laptops are going to be cheaper, last longer, and going to be harder to break IMHO. IPad's are fun and I definitely use mine, but I'm not sure if they are the best bet for this application. Outside of looking cool and making patients think

I share his general sentiment. In a broader sense that's why I love the capitalistic system, or at least the way it's evolved within the US. People don't exist in a vacuum. Bettering your own situation with goals ranging from altruism to fu

Actually one of the guys I go to school with is looking to do that. He's creating a site that aggregates all of your social networks among other things and stores them creating a sort of digital timeline. I'm not real sure on the details as

In one company for a particular position yes, the article seemed to be insinuating some sort of general notion that jobs are a finite resource. It especially comes across because of the finger pointing at an entire generation.

I hate it when people insinuate that jobs are some sort of magical commodity that there are only so many of and once they're gone that's it.

Well if you aren't failing you're not trying. I think we as Americans, I can't speak to any sort of European or other experience, have grown up with this attitude that makes us very afraid of putting ourselves into situations where we could

This is a good idea, but the challenge to this is to try and keep it from falling into the whole "friend whoring" that myspace had going. Which, in my opinion, is part of the reason myspace died off. So if they can do this correctly I'd lov

I'd argue that there's more good than bad about algorithmic trading. People making decisions based on fear and adrenaline is much more dangerous than setting a pre-determined course and sticking to a mathematical model. Besides, it's not li

Interesting, I like the simple layout, but it would be nice to have a price comparison of a few days in each direction like some sites have (I'm thinking Virgin Atlantic) so you can save some money by leaving a day early or a day late. Over

The thing that stuck out to me is their move to try and group friends and what they're doing based on location. They already have the ability to add your location on the status updates, and this kind of takes it to another level. Is it just

I think comparing Google and Facebook's profits as the author does is kind of a misnomer. Google is incredibly more dynamic and has way more depth than facebook, which is well just facebook. Their list of acquisitions, while impressive, doe

Jobs becoming obsolete? Yes surely just as we have never recovered from the loss of shoe cobbling jobs or manual labor farming jobs due to the industrial revolution the internet and technology will be the death of us all!

This is something I struggled with for a long time in regards to my own company. I did ultimately though end up with going with a "Freemium" model though. The article does a good job pointing out the strengths of freemium, and I think for a

People like the Eureka myth it's sexy, and people like the idea of being able to achieve great things effortlessly because if someone else can do it so can I. It's the entire reason get rich quick scheme exist. Then again if it was that eas

I kind of feel like this is a bandaid solution. While this may help with travel expenses this seems indicative of a larger issue that needs to be dealt with directly. I think you need to have a talk with your investors about this rather tha

Reddit is a great site, but it has a serious issue with confirmation bias among its users. There's a tongue-in-cheek way the users acknowledge it by calling themselves "the hivemind" It's both good and bad though. Good, because you create a
