They treat "millennials" as if they're some sort of alien species. To them, I say: you were just as weird to the older generation when you were younger. So please, cut it out.

If I may, I want to comment on the name of this media company. It seems akin to starting another one called Real N!gg@s in order to promote equal rights for blacks. Or something. I don't know. Some might call it a publicity stunt, bu

> Debt is part of capitalism, just like steel is used as building material. Talking about debt in moral terms as good, bad or whether there is a right amount (for whom?) isn't productive. Of course. If I spoke of debt in absolute te

Are you assuming wage decreases? That's a longer-term trend that I don't think we'd see with a shorter-term 3-5 year deflation.

Everything you said is true, but I don't find the points terribly practical. 1) I seriously doubt investors will prefer to hold US dollars for meager deflation gains instead of investing in other financial assets projecting far greater

What are you referring to? Tavarish's blog is gold. Baruth's post is thoughtful commentary and reflection. None of it is click-bait.

To clarify, the CHF spiked in value. People who lost had bet against it.

If I were leading Slack, I'd be ecstatic. This move by Facebook is validating. Also, I'm sure they'll produce lots of insights and make lots of mistakes I can learn from...on their dime.

That's exactly one of the cars I had in mind when writing my comment. It was BETTER than the CRZ that we now have 2 decades later!

See my comment above to nl. I edited it to add numbers regarding modern vehicle weight ratios, and how they've gone up over time in part because of safety regulations.

Sure, and for that reason, it's also important to consider priorities. Governments build infrastructure and car companies build cars. If both entities stuck to what they did best, both would get done, and one would think they'd ge

Pedestrian safety is a small portion of all the other safety measures that have increased vehicle weight. The point I'm trying to make is not that these measures aren't useful, but that had these resources been spent on more cleve

The phenomenon of emissions regulations pushing this trend toward turbocharged engines is ridiculous. Look at the small commuter cars from decades ago, and you'll see them putting out efficiency numbers comparable to some of today&#x27

Atmosphere is built by Percolate Studio. I know Tom Coleman works there, but as far as I know, he's not a part of the MDG. He should be given how good Iron Router is, but that's another issue :)

Is it possible the site is just a little over-designed? I'm not sure it's fair to judge an entire full-stack framework over the front-end of a single site. I've visited Atmosphere from time to time and while performance wasn&

Yeah. That's why I think a site bringing unique value that happens to have jobs listed might have a fighting chance, whereas a site intended to be a job board that tries to make itself uniquely valuable will struggle. I'm aimi

I see. Thanks for the numbers. Ugh I hate ads so much, but clearly they're pretty lucrative in the right situations. BTW Assembly is a very interesting concept, and your pinned tweet is hilarious. Might have to investigate it more once

Hehe, true about direct mail. A scrappy approach is clever. I've reached out to my alma mater and they're generally not too difficult about posting items around campus. Thanks a bunch for the tips!

Interesting. As it turns out, the site will be structured to show users content based on the particular tag combination they select. So if they've selected #math #machine-learning #chaos #san-francisco #startup #phd, they'll be in

I appreciate your thoughts. The market I'm targeting is college students. The site functions as the missing guidance/career counselor to guide them through school in the area of their choosing. The edge is that it's a somewha

I bet you could be more informed and successful in your career by reading only a small portion of all the content you have picked out. Anything vital you do miss on will come to you through the social network you could be building instead
