I've read this article several times at this point (it does tend to pop up everywhere) and it resonates with me but I'm not sure what to do about it. I really want to experience the kind of math the author writes about; can anyone

You should remove it, but it's exemplary of the whole post. Bizarrely defensive and hostile over exaggerated, hypothetical or imagined slights.

Have you ever worked for a company that didn't ask you to sign one? That's not rhetorical, I'm curious--it seems that virtually every company has some amount of proprietary information, isn't that what drives competitive

As someone who has taken large lecture classes both in person and online, there's really no difference. A seminar is one thing, but no one gets anything interactive out of a class in a 300+ person lecture hall. More students failed bec

Could anyone give a brief summary of why the IPO was a scam and what exactly Pincus did?

The tl;dr version is that your company will never get to a size where the executives will suddenly go "oh, well, we're big enough" so you'll always be in that customer acquisition phase, and thus you'll never be pro

It's not really about generic "move fast and break things" posturing either, though, is it? Maybe adding some examples, anecdotes or evidence would help, but if the point of this article is to convince me that mojotech has &q

An email list is a great idea, but please don't open links in a new tab. Opening a new tab breaks the "back" button, which makes it harder to get back to your page, not easier. If people want to come back to your site they&#x

I disagree that their core product sucks. The negatives you mentioned aren't noticeable to 99% of end users; what is noticeable is that dropbox works exactly the way a product like dropbox should work. I'd agree that Dropbox looks

Of course, you will inevitably tell yourself "I'll stick to it next time; this idea just isn't good enough." The worst part is that the thinking behind this is (partially) correct; if you spend years working on a stupid

If a cop has to choose between his own safety and the safety of innocent citizens, he should either choose the latter or find a new profession. He chose to become a policeman, knowing the risks; innocent people terrorized and murdered by th

It's very upsetting, though, to be told you can't study or have a career in the subject you're interested in because you lived in the wrong district when you were 13 years old. I don't know if this is a problem with high

Given that 1/9 = 0.111... You can see that 1 = 9/9 = 9 * 1/9 = 9 * 0.111... = 0.999...
