Don't know what you're doing wrong. I live in the south end and use Uber and Lyft (mostly Lyft these days) all the time to get around Boston. Rarely do I wait more than 5 or 6 minutes. Often times it's 2-3 minutes. Both servi

Outrageously cold and immature to imply that the family members are overreacting and worse to imply that it might be related to their ethnicity. They've been given false hope for two weeks. I cannot begin to imagine the emotional tortu

I stopped for a few months several years ago (to study for the GMAT, of all things). Granted, this coincided with me actively practicing puzzles and trick questions (essentially this is what the high end questions are) but I felt noticeab

I made this same discovery the summer before enrolling in bschool and then promptly dropped out of my class. it didn't make sense to take on the debt once I determined I really enjoyed building software (and was good at it).

it is far far easier and cheaper for a landlord to raise rents than it is for an established hotel to convert into residential housing.

this is absurd. i'm in Boston. there is absolutely no shortage of support and praise for the doctors and hospitals here. lots of things went wrong for this to happen. thanks for pointing out the painfully obvious. our police deserve the "pa

press for us (and we've gotten quite a bit) has mostly been useful in getting over the 'never heard of you' hurdle which i think is absolutely huge for just about any business conversation. the power of name recognition is astounding. we're

Please stop with the '10x' bullshit. Using this term makes you sound like immature children.

The guy made a model that he (and the nytimes) think is reasonable. The model takes inputs and spits out a probability. As the inputs change slightly so does the output. He's well within his right to publish these changes. What's the proble

in my experience more often than not the only people who can tell a well-done app is phonegap/cordova rather than native are nit-picky, self-righteous developers. if it works as advertised, users are generally happy and cannot tell the diff
