   For better or worse, I force myself into daily To Do lists. Procrastination hits when you're talented but underemployed. The To Do lists force me to work on bigger things too, and reminds me that there's an internal consequence

   I wouldn't have put it so eloquently, but relying on consistency in a rapidly moving platform is risky.

   I dare say you are simultaneously too cheap and too expensive!

   Some of the comp is in equity, so the talent has to believe in equity. People also join firms for brand image, and future career opportunities. The talent has to believe in that too.

   The more my career progresses, the more important these things are. You can also judge the maturity of an organization by how important they relate technical skills to personal attributes.

   That's what I was thinking too. Restaurant use, not home use. If you're charging $15+/glass, the surcharge isn't too bad, and now you can serve 100s of bottles by the glass. It also enables tastings of super-premium w

   Is it morally clear though? Kim Kardashian gets paid to plug god knows what, and it's not immoral to be a shill. That isn't to say that I would do it. (I won't) But it isn't black and white. It might be a dark gray, b

    Nobody is perfect, and your self-assessment of the issue suggests that you are probably already on the right track.

    He was the one I had in mind. I randomly bumped into Curtis Sliwa of Guardian Angels fame, and he was the same way for the first 3 minutes. Then he started repeating the questions. :-)

    Good story. The great politicians have a way of doing this too. Center on the person you are with.

    It sounded cool until I got to the price. Probably not great for home use. If I interpret the cartridge pricing, it comes to 50-75 cents a push. If push means pour, then it's $4 per bottle. ok for a restaurant, but a hefty tax for

    There is surface advice, which addresses the high level problem at hand. You got into an ivy league - make the most of it. Learn CS, math, philosophy and whatever else interests you. Then there is the root problem, which is depression. T

    All great advice here. I would toss in that you should make sure that your topic is fun, and interests you. (There's plenty of time for boring work later in life!) If you like games, create a game. If you like Math, visit projecteu

    I think there is a value to know when to do which. Some charities have more money than expertise. Some have more expertise than money. By giving a little time, you can see what's needed. For better or worse, the average person runn

    There is steady downwards pressure on all video based education. Saying SQL is not on Coursera today is like saying, "I can't find the complete works of Hemmingway on Amazon" in 1995. Chuckle if you want, but the trend is y

    I'm very interested in how this plays out. Right now I add Stackexchange to search queries in Google, precisely because the SEO effects haven't hit. The morality question may not be so black and white, though. If it's ok to

    This was one of the toughest things for me to learn in C. I think I had to learn it 3 times before it stuck. As more schools depart from teaching C, it's worthwhile to have simple explanations.

    It's great that we have this from the source! btw - I like the intent of "When we disagree, try to understand why." This does seem to run against the internet grain of, "When in doubt, repeat yourself, and if needed GO

    I would think "Space plus dropoff" is good. If Avis has a parking lot in the airport parking lot, they should pay more.
