i think you mean polyandry. polygamy would make the problem worse. most likely, the men will leave in search of a better life. or stay at home and cause trouble. or the government can organize them in some fashion - military would be an obv

as someone who is generally familiar with key political figures, i'd say this graph is awesome. it immediately quantifies information that you otherwise would guess at based on what people say about them. the time series is also tellin

I think Coin is going to be wildly successful. I was looking at my wallet the other day, and wondering why i can't slim it down even further to carry one digital card instead of multiple. i even thought it would make a good startup. an

perhaps i misread the original story, but sounded like he was checked into a hotel in the city and could have taken caltrains directly from SF. get to caltrains (taxi/bus/walk) then one train all the way. google maps is pretty inc

I once had a similar experience - in an interview situation. (I can be likeable in person, just not in comments...) The guy was attributing statements to me, from the conversation we were having in that moment, that i had never said. He wou

i also agree the idea sounds pretty interesting. i think the main problem is how to address cases where people mis-spend their basic income. someone is unemployed, and they blow the basic income on booze, etc. issue is how do we protect peo

good question. if you have first hand knowledge of a candidate's qualifications, it is going to change the interview for sure. but that doesn't mean you don't need to figure out if there is a fit with your team/company.

totally agree. actual problem solving is more informative than questioning. but even for questions regarding prior experience - most of the "standard" job interview questions are widely known. the question being widely known doesn

I'll believe "amazon is selling cars" when: * price listed on the website is "firm" and non-negotiable * price on website is way below MSRP * car comes with 2-day amazon prime delivery :) * I can get most major mode

i'll believe "amazon is actually selling cars" when i can get: free 2-day delivery of a car at a firm, non-negotiable price that is well below MSRP.

gotta admire the approach. facing off against a formidable competitor (facebook), they just keep trying to add incredible features that will make it a compelling destination for people to use. this is the kind of luxury only a big company c

agreed. things that seem more likely for the barge: sea-steading experiment; offshore incubator for non-citizens; drone testing. but a party barge? i can't see it. just buy some high-floor loft space, no?

it's for the good of the world that wall street is no longer the #1 desired employer. let's consider two types of innovation: (1) eliminate complexity, streamline processes, lower expenses, and lower costs to consumers, and (2) in

I will agree the value of a put-together appearance is valid, in many contexts. and i wouldn't take from that at all. However ... it's ridiculous to use this to defend a $2,500 handbag purchase. the purchase was inadvisable at bes

I find the "lean startup" concept to be humorous. it's like pg's y-combinator essays in MBA-ese. Build an MVP and get users to provide feedback, and iterate like crazy. As long as you're starting from MVP, the rest

it's a great question. i think the only "real" explanation is that junior bankers become senior bankers, there are very low barriers to entry once you're inside (learn excel and accounting), and so working 100 hours a we

i think this is an interesting sign that we may actually not be in a massive tech bubble. twitter is one of the biggest brands in technology. IPOs don't need massive retail interest to succeed. if institutions demand >14x the shares

i'm in the same camp. exercise + music is the best use case i know for a smart watch. if you could merge the garmin forerunner 610/620 (or equivalent running program), and a bluetooth music player, that would be nirvana for me. h

here's an idea: every "n"th image, snap an advertisement to a user. sounds like revenue potential to me.

I am a big Amazon.com customer, and I'd be very happy to see this widespread. I am tired of Paypal trying to use my bank account as the primary payment mechanism, and having to switch it most of the time. I would love to have more of m

i thought debt ceiling jockeying has been a normal feature of politics for at least a decade. what is new this time is that the negotiating position of the out-of-power party is more aggressive, but the in-power party is also more intransig

i would argue for the opposite of this article - it serves the public's interest for successful companies to be known. we might want to become customers. we might learn something that applies to our business. it is a public good to kno
