This makes a lot of sense. For most users, it's a 1 way communication. Most of the 56% don't say a lot either. It's become very much a vehicle for people with things to promote.

In tech entrepreneurship aren't we allowed to fail? And she is in an advisory role, not managerial.

Very good discipline in the article, and very good discipline in your plan too. If you don't mind me asking - what's the point in writing a book about an area that you used to work in, but didn't want to going forward? (I as

Here we are getting a little out of my element, but... How well do we know that she gave bad advice, versus him not listening? I do know that her speciality was Russia, not the Middle East, but after all that time in DC I am pretty sure s

Yes - this is my point. He is despised, but still is knowledgable, and I'd listen to him about China. Granted this is about tapping specific knowledge. I would never hire someone with a morality deficit as an employee. (And maybe it

It may help to put 2002 in the title, as this relates to the war in Iraq rather than Dropbox. (It's still interesting, and worth an upvote!) When people go after her, I wonder, "What about Kissinger?" He was part of a lot o

I had heard similar - that if you go to CA, you have to pre-emptively sue to get out of it. Are non-competes enforced often enough that this is an issue? I've only heard of a few cases, and these were notorious hedge funds, or flagrant

Is there a better explanation? I'm sure that it took a lot of effort and money to bring her on board when other candidates are available.

Can anyone talk to how well this has held up over time for them? A quick search on LinkedIn suggests only 2 employees. ( https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?f_CC=1476706 ) Is this really the case?

During my undergrad days, I recall this potential problem as a critique of numerical analysis. It was stated as, "There is limited benefit of proving something if we don't also know WHY it is so."

If you were a VC or investor in the company, it should give you confidence that someone is around that can give the CEO advice on managing geo-political minefields. The last thing you want is the overseas political issues that Microsoft an

The "Let me find something you don't know" is almost always compensation for a problem of the overconfident. Usually it stems from them being on the receiving end of it. Perhaps in the form of, "Oh, you can't run

My first instinct on seeing the title was "What does someone like this (or Al Gore, or any other politician) have to offer a tech startup?" Then the article makes it more clear: "What’s interesting about bringing Rice onto D

I agree - we are only now coming to where we understand gamification enough. I do believe that gamification is very important for some of the rote, but necessary, aspects of educations. It's not a cure-all, but perhaps it's good

It's tough, because there is a morale issue at stake, but if we all become 1 issue voters, the political system breaks down. We have to support the candidates who on balance do enough for what we believe in. To your point - there&#x27

Same, though lots of us wanted to skip Pascal and C. :-) It's a strange language to celebrate in retrospect in that it lacks the street cred of both academics and hard core engineers. To your point, in a sense it's like remember

Right. But increasing the marginal cost of serving people, or decreasing the marginal revenue, means that you will build for less people than otherwise. To oversimplify the supply and demand curve... Let's say that there are 2 populat
