   Very true. Most programmers in NYC could get a raise going to Wall Street. They don't do it because they don't like the abuse. Most Physics professors could get a raise going to Wall Street. They don't do it for a variety of reasons. It's

   This was a link where I just went straight to the commentary to see who else is old school. I view this as mostly an execution issue from Yahoo. People were buying companies, but there were very few examples of good integration. Instagram

   If you are talented, you just need to keep asking, "What's the worst thing that could happen?" Find a gym near the office, and get into a routine where you can go, workout, shower, and be back at the office in 70 minutes. Do it 3 times a w

   I'm absolutely not a believer of this. It's beyond just their bad math. (It's an 8 minute workout) To do a proper sprint interval workout, you'd need to warm up (5 minutes at least), and go so hard in those 30 intervals that you'd need 90

   As much as people point out things that are missing, I gotta believe that this does fulfill the "Help me get a job" purpose of the posts.

   There are firms who hire people for underpaid apprenticeships, with the assumption that they move on to bigger and better things in two years.

   Old article. Are any of these Facebook killers still doing well? That's not a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious about the answer.

   Props to your old man. I like that your talk covered lots of intangibles above and beyond raw technical skills. He sounds like a man of great character and soft spoken leadership.

    I agree, it was painful reading the study. There are 100 other explanations for scores that disallow speculation that you can correlate it to age and expect a meaningful result. I really hope this wasn't published in a peer reviewed journa

    #4 - Becoming a global citizen is the most important reason. It's good for cultural and personal reasons. If you can solve a problem in another language and culture, you have so much more strength coming home.

    Give her a college scholarship. If she were on the football team, they'd sweep it under the rug.

    "My observation is that, as you get older, the jobs available to you get better but they also get rarer." Very true. I think this also comes from specialization. You get better at solving interesting and difficult problems, but more in yo

    For what it's worth, the first thing I did was send it to my brother with, "Hey, your kids may be interested in this." That was a reaction independent of any bias towards the source. Great work - I think you're on to something!

    Maybe overwork exacerbates things, but sometimes it's just chemicals wrong in the head. It can be dangerous to treat major mental illness without addressing the biochemistry. In general I am not pro medication, but breakdowns can be deeper

    Is the issue really work-life balance, or mental health? They are actually two separate things. I had a roommate lose it. He was very disciplined, but had a chemical imbalance in his head. He was a hard worker, but did this really have a

    Not really. The rest of the country is in bad shape too, and there is too much personal concentration there. Where would it go? Singapore? Still very expensive there. New York? Also expensive. Austin? Perhaps...

    For many large projects, it is very hard to separate Silicon Valley the region from the state as a whole. The state is highly dependent on realized capital gains from real estate (hasn't happened in a while) and tech equities (modest, but

    As much as I hate the term Synergist, he has a point. There is natural friction in different strong personality types, and value to a leader who can create an environment where people co-exist.
